Chirinos was given the day off on Friday and has been playing as a part-time player recently. He'll bat eighth and draw the start behind the plate against lefty Eric Lauer. Chirinos should be a sleeper […]

Wil Myers Will Lead Off on Saturday

San Diego Padres third baseman Wil Myers will lead off and play third base against lefty Alex Claudio on Saturday. Myers jumps around in the batting order quite often, but seeing him in the one-hole is quite odd. Myers has been decent with the bat this season, but the Padres likely expected more out of […]

Francisco Mejia is Sitting Out on Saturday

San Diego Padres catcher Francisco Mejia (rest) is out of the starting lineup against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. It appears this is just a routine rest day for Mejia, so he should be back in the lineup on Sunday. Austin Hedges will bat fifth and draw the start behind the plate against lefty Alex […]

Josh Harrison Heads Back to the Bench on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Harrison has seen his playing time decrease heavily over the last few weeks. He's nursing a hamstring injury, so the Pirates have been cautious with him lately. Adam Frazier will lead off and play second […]

Ryan Braun is Sitting Out Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Braun has just one hit over his last five games, so he'll get a day off on Saturday. Christian Yelich will slide over to left field and bat second against righty Ivan Nova. Yelich is […]

Curtis Granderson Will Lead Off on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Curtis Granderson will lead off and play right field versus righty Ivan Nova on Saturday.

C.J. Cron Out for Third Straight Game on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. This will be the third straight game that Cron has not started for Tampa.

Delino DeShields Will Lead Off on Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields will lead off and play center field versus lefty Robbie Erlin on Friday. DeShields has put together a rough year in Arlington, and was even sent to the minors earlier in the season. He's back in the MLB, but his bat quite isn't fully there yet. Erlin has a 7.50 […]

Jean Segura Returns to the Lineup on Friday

This is just a routine day off for Forsythe, so he should be back in the lineup on Saturday. Gregorio Petit will bat ninth and play second base versus righty Jorge Lopez. Petit can […]

Joe Mauer is Back in the Lineup

Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Mauer was given a routine off day on Thursday, but the veteran slugger is rested and ready to go on Friday. He'll lead off and play first base against righty Jorge Lopez. Mauer is not […]

Josh Harrison is Back in the Lineup Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Harrison has sat out the last two games after playing on Monday. It appears the Pirates are going to be cautious with Harrison due to his lingering hamstring issues. He shouldn't be counted on more […]

Corey Dickerson is Sitting Out on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Pirates are facing a left-handed pitcher, so Dickerson will sit this one out. Pablo Reyes will lead off and play left field versus Gio Gonzalez on Friday. Reyes does not have enough of a sample […]

Tucker Barnhart is Not in the Lineup Friday

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Barnhart has horrible career numbers against starter Cole Hamels, so he'll sit out on Friday. Curt Casali will draw the start behind the plate and bat seventh against the veteran Hamels. Casali has actually hit very […]

Willson Contreras is Sitting Out on Friday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Contreras has seen plenty of rest lately, but that is likely due to the Cubs overworking him during the first half of the season. Victor Caratini will draw the start behind the plate and bat sixth […]

Anthony Rizzo Will Lead Off on Friday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo will lead off and play first base versus righty Matt Harvey on Friday. Normally Rizzo bats third for the Cubs, but sometimes he'll move up a few spots and for some reason he destroys the baseball when leading off. Rizzo has not been hitting the ball well lately, but […]

Johan Camargo is Sitting Out on Friday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. This will be Camargo's second straight game on the sidelines due to a groin issue. There is a good chance he misses more than just two games. Charlie Culberson will bat fifth and play third […]
