  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Sitting down Friday

    O'Hoppe isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

    O'Hoppe will grab a seat on the bench for Friday's series opener after going 2-for-10 with two walks and a run scored in the Angels' last series against the Yankees. Travis d'Arnaud will take over behind the dish and bat fifth.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Scratched Friday

    Rutschman was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees due to left abdominal tightness, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Initially slated to DH and bat second, Rutschman has been removed from Friday's starting nine. He can be considered day-to-day due to the abdominal injury. Jackson Holliday will now DH and bat leadoff.

  • Bo Naylor C | CLE

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Sitting Friday

    Naylor is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Athletics on Friday.

    Naylor will get a breather while Austin Hedges serves behind home plate and bats ninth. Naylor is in the midst of a mini-slump, having gone 0-for-17 with nine strikeouts over his last five starts.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Late add to lineup

    Jeffers is now batting fifth and serving as the DH on Friday against Milwaukee.

    Jeffers was left off the Twins' initial lineup but entered the starting nine after Trevor Larnach (hand) was scratched. Jeffers is 5-for-11 in his last three games.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Monster performance in win

    Raleigh went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a walk, three RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in Fridays 9-4 win over the Cubs.

    Raleigh went deep in the first and seventh innings, recording his sixth multi-homer game of the season. Through 16 June contests, he's tallied 11 extra-base hits, 19 RBI, 13 runs scored and three steals. The 28-year-old leads the majors in home runs (29), is tied for first in RBI (63) and ranks second in OPS (1.025) across 319 plate appearances in what continues to be an MVP-caliber first half.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: Homers twice in win

    Garver went 2-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI and a walk in Friday's 9-4 win over the Cubs.

    Garver entered Friday with just one home run on the year but went deep in both the sixth and ninth innings. The 34-year-old is now 6-for-23 with six RBI through six June contests and carries a modest five-game hitting streak. On the season, he's slashing .216/.321/.319 with three homers, 16 RBI, 12 runs scored and three steals across 134 plate appearances while serving in a part-time role at catcher and designated hitter.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Idle Friday

    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Milwaukee.

    Jeffers was struck in the hand by a foul tip Tuesday and missed Wednesday's contest because of it. Despite returning Thursday, Jeffers will get the night off Friday. Christian Vazquez will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth.

  • Astros' Victor Caratini: Homers in extra-inning loss

    Caratini went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

    Caratini delivered a game-tying blast off Mason Miller in the eighth inning. This was Caratini's second straight contest with a homer, and he's hit safely in his last three games. The catcher is at a .261/.327/.405 slash line with five long balls, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored and seven doubles over 171 plate appearances. In addition to his catching duties, he's picked up starts at first base and designated hitter as manager Joe Espada continues to find room for him in the lineup. That playing time should remain steady as long as Houston's outfield is thinned out by injuries, limiting the options for players available to take turns at DH.

  • Athletics' Willie MacIver: Homer, steal in win

    MacIver went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.

    MacIver opened the scoring with his first big-league homer, a second-inning solo shot. This was his second multi-hit effort, and he's now batting .237 with three RBI, three runs scored, two steals and three doubles over 13 contests. MacIver and Austin Wynns will continue to share catching duties while Shea Langeliers (oblique) is out.
