Marwin Gonzalez Remains Out Friday

Boston Red Sox super-utility man Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for the third straight game on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies after suffering from hamstring tightness on Monday.

Tyler Naquin Taking A Seat Against Left-Hander

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin is not in the starting lineup on Friday against Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer. Naquin is hitting just .182 (6-for-33) with nine strikeouts and one of his 13 homers against lefties this year, so it's a good day for him to rest. He's also struggled the last two weeks with […]

Carlos Correa Out With Illness

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (illness) is out of the starting lineup on Friday against the New York Yankees due to an illness. Make sure to replace Correa in your daily starting lineups.

Omar Narvaez Not In Friday’s Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez isn't in the team's lineup on Friday as they continue a four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds.

Johan Oviedo Optioned To Triple-A

The St. Louis Cardinals optioned right-hander Johan Oviedo to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday night.
