San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (side) is back in the lineup on Friday night and will bat fourth against the Dodgers.

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco (ankle) is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Cleveland Indians.

Boston Red Sox utility man Danny Santana is starting and playing first base in his debut with the Red Sox Friday night.

Seattle Mariners relief pitchers Robert Dugger, Anthony Misiewicz, Drew Steckenrider, and Will Vest were all placed on the injured list without a specific designation Friday.
