Flores (foot) was able to take batting practice before Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Flores continues to make steady progress after being placed on the injured list Saturday with a bruise on his left foot. The infielder is eligible to return from the injured list before Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays, but it's possible the Giants will have Flores participate in a short rehab assignment before adding him to the active roster.

Wade is leading off and playing first base versus the Diamondbacks on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade missed three games while dealing with tightness in his right side. The 29-year-old has been a big part of the Giants' success thus far in the month of June with a slash of .308/.431/.519 during that timeframe.

Abreu isn't in the Astros' lineup Friday against the Dodgers, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Abreu will get another day off after going 3-for-19 at the plate with seven strikeouts across his last five games. Mauricio Dubon will fill in at first base and bat second.

Beaty was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list Friday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

After being ruled out of the lineup for a second straight game Friday, Beaty will be unavailable for at least a week while recovering from a concussion. Outfielder Nate Eaton was called up from Triple-A Omaha to replace Beaty on the major-league roster.

The Red Sox recalled Dalbec from Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

With Pablo Reyes (abdomen) headed to the injured list, Dalbec will come up from the minors to fill Reyes' roster spot. He has been outstanding at Triple-A this season, slashing .296/.414/.638 with 18 homers and 43 RBI through 237 plate appearances, but he's struggled during his two brief MLB stints this season.

Casas is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the White Sox, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Casas will take a seat after he went 5-for-18 with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored while starting all four games of the team's series with Minnesota. Justin Turner will draw the start at first base and bat second in the series opener with Chicago.

Beaty (undisclosed) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Rays.

Beaty will remain out of the lineup as he continues to nurse an undisclosed injury. It's unclear if he would even be in the starting lineup regardless of his health considering he's made only one start for the Royals since being called up Sunday.

Raley (hand) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Royals, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Raley will miss Friday's contest after he suffered a right hand injury during Thursday's 6-5 loss. He went for a CT scan after Thursday's game and it confirmed no fracture. Raley said he would be able to play off the bench Friday if needed. Josh Lowe will handle the designated hitter role and bat third against Kansas City.

Diaz isn't in the Rays' lineup Friday against the Royals, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz earned himself a day off after going 5-for-10 with an RBI and three runs scored across his last two games. Harold Ramirez will fill in for Diaz at first base, moving Josh Lowe into the DH spot and Manuel Margot to right field, batting leadoff.

Clemens is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Mets, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Clemens will head to the bench after he went 0-for-8 with an RBI and two strikeouts while starting two games during the team's series with Atlanta. Alec Bohm will slide over to first base while Edmundo Sosa enters the lineup at third base and bats ninth in the series opener with New York.
