    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Dealing with hamstring strain

    Paredes was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    After Paredes injured his hamstring during Thursday's contest, manager Joe Espada said Friday that the 26-year-old infielder may need to miss a few additional games while he recovers, but the team is hopeful that he will be able to avoid spending time on the injured list. Mauricio Dubon is likely to pick up starts at the hot corner until Paredes is ready to rejoin the starting nine.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Pulled due to injury

    Lewis was removed from Friday's game against Houston due to an apparent injury, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

    Lewis pulled up while running to first base on his ninth-inning single and was immediately lifted for a pinch runner, ending his night after he'd gone 2-for-4 with a solo home run. The severity of his injury isn't immediately clear, but Minnesota should have more details on his status after they take a closer look at him. If the 26-year-old ends up needing to miss any amount of time, there would be room in the lineup for Willi Castro and Brooks Lee to play every day.

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Getting MRI

    Paredes (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

  • 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.

    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.
