The St. Louis Cardinals activated infielder Brendan Donovan (groin) from the 10-day injured list on Friday, and he's in the starting lineup for the series opener against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Quinn Priester.

Josh Lowe Out of Lineup on Friday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe is not in the lineup on Friday against Chicago Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd. Jake Mangum will take over for Lowe in right field and hit fifth, while Everson Pereira will play center and bat sixth. It's logical to sit Lowe against a tough lefty, as southpaws have held him […]

Chicago Cubs designated hitter/outfielder Seiya Suzuki is out of the lineup on Friday against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Shane Baz. Moises Ballesteros will take over as the DH and bat sixth.

Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins.
