  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Resting Friday

    LeMahieu is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

    After being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, LeMahieu played three straight games against the Angels, going 2-for-9 with three runs and three walks. He'll begin Friday's contest in the dugout as Oswaldo Cabrera gets the start at third base and bats eighth against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Sitting Friday

    Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

    Stanton has struggled of late, going 1-for-20 with eight strikeouts over his last five games, and his slash line is down to .225/.275/.471 for the season. Trent Grisham will start in center field Friday while Aaron Judge serves as the designated hitter against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks.

  • Joe Boyle SP | TB

    Athletics' Joe Boyle: Making another rehab start

    Boyle (back) will make another rehab start at Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Boyle built up to 43 pitches during his previous rehab start Wednesday, and he'll remain in the minors for at least one more start. The 24-year-old right-hander gave up four runs without recording an out during his first Triple-A outing May 23, but he bounced back with 2.1 scoreless frames in his second appearance, striking out three batters and walking two.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Visits specialist

    Massey (back) visited a specialist Friday and received multiple injections, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Manager Matt Quatraro said the Royals will wait to see how Massey's back responds to the treatment before determining when he will head to the minors for a rehab assignment. For now, the 26-year-old infielder remains without a clear return timetable, and he isn't eligible for activation until Tuesday.

  • Andy Ibanez 2B | NYM

    Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Late addition to Friday's lineup

    Ibanez will start at second base and bat seventh against the Red Sox on Friday.

    Ibanez was initially slated to sit Friday, but he was inserted into the lineup after Mark Canha was scratched due to left hip soreness. Ibanez will go up against Boston right-hander Tanner Houck.

  • Mark Canha LF | TEX

    Tigers' Mark Canha: Scratched Friday

    Canha was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Red Sox due to left hip soreness.

    Canha was slated to serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot Friday, but the 35-year-old was removed from the lineup due to the injury. Colt Keith will shift to DH and Andy Ibanez will start at second base, while Gio Urshela moves up to fourth in the batting order against Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck.

  • Jo Adell RF | CLE

    Angels' Jo Adell: Resting Friday

    Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup for Friday's game against Seattle, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Adell has gone 0-for-18 with 10 strikeouts across his last five games, so the Angels will give him a day off to regroup Friday. Kevin Pillar will take over in right field and bat fifth.

  • Kyren Paris LF | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Day off Friday

    Paris isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Paris went 0-for-3 during Thursday's loss to the Yankees, making him 0-for-8 across his last four games. Luis Rengifo will take Paris' place at the keystone Friday, allowing Luis Guillorme to start at third base while batting ninth.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Returns to lineup Friday

    Raley (lat) is starting in left field and batting eighth Friday against the Angels.

    Lat soreness prevented Raley from starting during Thursday's loss to the Astros, but the issue appears to have subsided prior to Friday's contest. The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .292/.346/.486 since the beginning of May, but he has been in a slump recently, tallying just one hit in 19 at-bats while striking out 10 times in his last seven games.

  • Shelby Miller RP | CHC

    Tigers' Shelby Miller: Set for rehab appearance Friday

    Miller (elbow) will make his second rehab appearance with Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Miller began his rehab assignment Tuesday, when he pitched one scoreless inning while giving up one hit and one walk. The 33-year-old right-hander continues to work his way through inflammation in his right ulnar nerve that landed him on the 15-day IL on May 13. How Miller fares Friday will determine whether he needs another rehab outing or can rejoin the Tigers' bullpen.
