India went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the White Sox.

The 26-year-old took Lance Lynn deep in the fifth inning to give Cincy a 4-3 lead that Hunter Greene couldn't maintain. India has bounced back nicely from his 2022 sophomore slump so far in 2023, slashing .280/.374/.398 through 32 games with two homers, five steals, 13 RBI and 23 runs as the Reds' everyday leadoff hitter.

Bae went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Blue Jays.

The young utility player continues to do his best Jon Berti impression, stealing his 14th base in 31 games to begin the season, with nine of them coming in the last 10 contests. Bae is also batting .333 (9-for-27) over that stretch, and while he offers little power -- he has just two homers and nine RBI on the year -- he could become more than just a one-dimensional fantasy asset if he keeps stringing together hits.

Arraez went 3-for-4 in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Cubs.

The Marlins only managed eight hits in total, all singles, so Arraez's latest barrage of knocks didn't amount to much on the scoreboard. The 26-year-old's latest hit streak now stands at eight games, and he's produced a blistering .437/.491/.544 slash line through his first 116 plate appearances with Miami -- leading the majors in both batting average and OBP.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss against the Diamondbacks.

Garcia's 344-foot shot to left gave the Nationals a 1-0 lead in the first inning. The infielder is off to a hot start this month, slashing .294/.368/.529 since May 1. The 22-year-old is currently on pace to pass his career high of seven long balls in a season, which he hit across 93 games last year.

Turang is out of the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Giants.

The Brewers are going with a right-handed heavy lineup against Sean Manaea and San Francisco, so Turang's left-handed bat will take a seat. Owen Miller is playing second base and hitting second.

Donovan is not in the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

Tommy Edman will play second base and bat leadoff with left-hander Matthew Boyd on the mound for Detroit. Paul DeJong is handling shortstop duties and hitting seventh.

Gorman (back) is not in the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

Gorman was pulled from Thursday's series finale against the Angels due to lower back tightness, though he might have been on the bench anyway Friday with left-hander Matthew Boyd set to toe the slab for Detroit. Willson Contreras will take a turn at DH and bat third. Andrew Knizner is catching and batting ninth.

Trejo is out of the lineup Friday against the Mets.

Harold Castro will start at second base and bat eighth with right-hander Kodai Senga on the mound for New York. This has formed into a bit of a platoon in recent weeks, though Trejo should still get starts against some righties. Trejo and Castro are both currently under .600 in the OPS department.

Stott is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Red Sox.

This looks to be a routine day of rest for Stott, who drove in two runs in Wednesday's series finale at Dodger Stadium. Josh Harrison will cover second base and bat eighth Friday versus Boston. Kyle Schwarber is hitting leadoff.

Albies went 3-for-5 with a double in Thursday's 6-3 win over Miami.

Albies will be sad to leave Miami after torching the Marlins' pitching over the last three games. He went 9-for-14 with two home runs and four doubles in that span. The second baseman is up to a .288/.328/.576 slash line with nine homers, 26 RBI, 15 runs scored, six doubles and a triple through 32 contests this season.
