  • Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Sitting Friday

    Mastrobuoni is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Guardians on Friday.

    Mastrobuoni has been out of the lineup in three of the Mariners' last four games, and his playing time could diminish further with Luke Raley (oblique) close to returning from the 10-day injured list. Randy Arozarena, Julio Rodriguez and Dominic Canzone will start in the outfield for Seattle.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Taking seat Friday

    Westburg isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

    Westburg went 3-for-11 with two homers and four RBI during his first series back from the injured list, and he'll now get a chance to rest during Friday's series opener. Ramon Urias will start at third base and bat seventh in Westburg's place.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Out of lineup Friday

    Paredes (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Paredes sustained a left hamstring injury during Thursday's game while trying to beat out a double-play ball. The issue will keep him out of the lineup for Friday's series opener against Minnesota. Mauricio Dubon will fill in at third base.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: In lineup Friday

    Clement (lower body) is batting fifth and playing third base Friday against Philadelphia.

    Manager John Schneider said Wednesday that Clement was dealing with a lower-body injury, and after a team off day Thursday, Clement is back in the starting nine. He has a hit in six of his last seven games, going 9-for-30 (.300) with three doubles and a home run during that stretch.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Could skip rehab assignment

    Bregman (quadriceps) said Friday he might skip a minor-league rehab assignment and is running at about 50 percent, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Bregman opted not to provide a target return date, but the third baseman appears to be making good progress in his recovery from a strained right quad. If Bregman foregoes a rehab assignment, he could fast-track his return. Still, he seems to be multiple weeks out.

  • Marcelo Mayer SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Idle against lefty

    Mayer is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Mayer will dodge a same-handed matchup against Ryan Yarbrough on Friday, as Abraham Toro fills in at third base and Romy Gonzalez plays first base. Mayer has been on the bench for each of Boston's last four games against lefties.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Suffers left hamstring injury

    Paredes was pulled from Thursday's game against the White Sox due to a left hamstring injury, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Paredes was running hard down the first base line in an attempt beat out a double play ball in the seventh inning. Manager Joe Espada didn't provide much additional information but shared that the club would know more Friday.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Suffers apparent leg injury

    Paredes exited Thursday's game against the White Sox after appearing to suffer a left leg injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Paredes was running hard down the line trying to beat out a double play in the seventh inning and was seen walking gingerly afterward. He was removed from the game in the top half of the eighth inning, though the severity of the issue is unclear. Mauricio Dubon took over at third base.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Tallies two hits, steal in win

    McKinstry went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles. He also stole a base.

    After a surprisingly strong first two months of the season at the plate, McKinstry has kept rolling in June. The utility player is now batting .343 this month with three stolen bases and six runs scored through 11 games. Despite being a bench option for much of his career, McKinstry is forcing the Tigers to put him in the lineup most days due to his strong offensive output.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Three-hit game

    Paredes went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the White Sox.

    Paredes has had an interesting start to June. He has hit only .235 with a relatively elevated 25 percent strikeout rate, yet he also has three home runs, nine RBI and five runs scored across nine games. Overall, Paredes has arguably been Houston's most consistent hitter this season and is on pace to match the production of his 2022 campaign -- the best of his career.
