Arraez went 5-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's win over Washington.

Arraez didn't get a hit during Miami's recent three-game series versus Seattle, marking his longest hitless streak this season, but he bounced back in a major way Friday, notching his second five-hit game of the year and hitting his first home run since April 11. The 26-year-old still boasts a ridiculous .390/.441/.484 slash line and remains on track for a historic campaign.

Estrada went 1-for-4 with one RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings win over the Dodgers.

Estrada is 12-for-44 (.273) with 11 RBI, three home runs and three steals over his last 10 games. The second baseman was heavily involved in the Giants' comeback in the late innings Friday. He continues to be one of their most consistent hitters with a .295/.346/.481 slash line, nine homers, 16 steals, 28 RBI and 38 runs scored over 57 contests.

Caballero went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.

Caballero's hitting remains middling -- he's gone 6-for-26 (.231) in June, but he also has a 7:4 BB:K and four steals this month. The second baseman is up to 10 steals on 12 attempts this season while slashing .238/.392/.356 with two home runs, 16 RBI and 16 runs scored. He appears to have the edge over Kolten Wong and Dylan Moore for a starting job at the keystone, though Caballero rarely hits higher than ninth in the order.

Stott isn't in the Phillies' lineup Friday against Oakland.

With the left-handed JP Sears starting Friday's game for the A's, the left-handed bat of Stott will retreat to the dugout. Josh Harrison will play second base instead and bat seventh.

Massey was scratched from Friday's game against the Angels due to a left index finger laceration, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Massey is officially listed as day-to-day as a result of the injury, so it's unlikely he's facing an extended absence. In the meantime, Matt Duffy will fill in for Massey at second base, but if the issue proves to be more serious, Samad Taylor could get a look at the keystone for Kansas City.

Stefanic was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Stefanic is slashing a PCL-inflated .347/.446/.449 with two homers and five stolen bases for Salt Lake this season. The utility player is capable of filling in all over the field but doesn't figure to play much for the Halos.

Dubon is batting leadoff Friday against the Reds.

Dubon was thought to be at risk of losing playing time with Jose Altuve back to full health, but the versatile 28-year-old continues to be an everyday presence at the top of the Astros' lineup. He's playing left field Friday and has also been mixing in at shortstop to spell Jeremy Pena.

Castro is out of the lineup Friday against Atlanta.

Coco Montes will draw another start at second base with left-hander Jared Shuster on the mound for Atlanta. Castro also sat against a righty Thursday and may be at risk of losing more playing time. He's slashed just .263/.280/.314 through 144 plate appearances this year for Colorado.

Montes is starting at second base and batting eighth Friday versus Atlanta.

It's the second straight start for Montes, who has delivered three hits -- including a two-run homer -- through his first four major-league games. He started against a righty Thursday and is in there against a lefty (Jared Shuster) on Friday. Harold Castro will again ride the pine.

Rosario went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 8-6 win over the Padres.

Rosario seems to finally have his bat going -- he's hitting .343 (12-for-35) with three doubles, four RBI and six runs scored over his last nine games. However, he's still stuck on one home run for the season, which came back in April. The shortstop's .331 slugging percentage is 40 points worse than his previous low mark. He's added eight stolen bases, 17 RBI and 30 runs scored through 61 contests while batting second in a near-everyday role.
