Moreno is absent from the lineup for Friday's game againt the Tigers.

Moreno had been slated for a day off Thursday before that game got postponed and the Diamondbacks have elected to still give him a day off. Jose Herrera will catch Merrill Kelly.

Rutschman went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 6-3 victory over Milwaukee.

Rutschman is now batting .372 (16-for-43) with a .903 OPS over his last 11 games. The 25-year-old Rutschman played nearly every day in his sophomore campaign, serving as DH when taking a break from catching duties. He's slashing .283/.399/.425 with eight homers, 21 runs scored and 28 RBI while tallying more walks (45) than strikeouts (38).

Alvarez went 2-for-5 with two home runs, a walk and three RBI in Thursday's extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

Alvarez worked as the team's DH in the contest and justified his placement in that role with a pair of big blasts. The backstop has overcome a slow start to the campaign with a powerful 16-game stretch during which he's swatted eight homers, driven in 17 runs, scored 10 times and posted a .283/.333/.774 slash line. Alvarez is now tied for second among big-league catchers with 11 homers on the season.

D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, four total runs and two walks in Thursday's 13-10 extra-inning win over the Mets.

The veteran backstop hit one of five long balls for Atlanta in the contest, contributing to the team's comeback with a two-run shot in the eighth inning. The multi-hit effort was d'Arnaud's fifth in 20 games this season. He is the clear No. 2 option behind Sean Murphy on the catcher depth chart but has still provided plenty of offense, slashing .303/.346/.434 with two homers, 10 RBI and 10 runs over 81 plate appearances.

X-rays on Barnes' right wrist came back negative Thursday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Barnes left Thursday's game against the Reds after taking a fastball to the hand, but he appears to have avoided a major injury. It's possible the Dodgers sideline Barnes for a few days to ensure he's fully-healed his next time out, but he should be able to avoid the IL.

Barnes was sent for X-rays on his right hand Thursday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

The veteran catcher took an Ian Gibaut fastball off his hand in the ninth inning of the Dodgers' 6-0 win at Cincinnati on Thursday and, manager Dave Roberts acknowledged afterward that it "didn't look good, didn't sound good." Los Angeles will have to make a 40-man roster move for a new backup to Will Smith if Barnes requires an IL stint.

Diaz (hip) is back in the Rays' lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

Diaz didn't start the last two contests while dealing with a minor hip issue, but he's ready to roll for the first game of a series featuring two first-place clubs. He'll be at first base and hitting leadoff versus Andrew Heaney.

Kirilloff is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Toronto.

The Blue Jays are starting lefty Yusei Kikuchi, so the left-handed hitting Kirilloff will begin this one on the bench. Donovan Solano is at first base and batting leadoff.

Alonso (wrist) will be placed on the injured list, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

The Mets had been waiting on the results of imaging on the slugger's left wrist after he was hit by a pitch Wednesday, and evidently they received bad news. Until an official diagnosis is announced, how long Alonso might be out is unclear. Mark Vientos could take over as the Mets' regular first baseman while Alonso is sidelined.

Casas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Guardians.

Casas now has two multi-hit games over his last three contests. The young first baseman has had a rough start to 2023 after a difficult rookie campaign, slashing just .201/.322/.385 through 202 plate appearances with seven homers and 18 RBI, but he is batting .262 (11-for-42) over his last 12 contests with six extra-base hits.

Clemens went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Tigers.

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Clemens lined a base hit off Alex Lange to give the Phillies a walk-off win. The 27-year-old Clemens has filled in nicely at first base for Alec Bohm (hamstring), going 15-for-46 (.326) over his last 14 games. He's now slashing .267/.320/.433 with four homers, 13 runs scored and 11 RBI through 97 plate appearances.

Vaughn isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Game 2 of their doubleheader against the Yankees.

After going 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Game 1, Vaughn will get a breather during the second game. Jake Burger will fill in at first base and bat sixth.

Torres is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Red Sox.

Torres will take a seat after he went 1-for-12 with a two-run homer over the three-game series with the White Sox. DJ LeMahieu will take over at second base while Josh Donaldson enters the lineup at third base and bats second in the series opener with Boston.

Polanco (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Blue Jays.

Polanco pulled his left hamstring Thursday versus the Rays and he will head to the bench Friday while nursing the injury. The 29-year-old returned from the 10-day injured list June 1 after a separate hamstring injury and the team will likely be cautious in their attempts to get him back in the lineup. Kyle Farmer will draw the start at second base and bat fifth in the series opener with Toronto.

Guillorme is headed to Pittsburgh to join the Mets and is expected to be recalled prior to Friday's game, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Guillorme looks to be the corresponding roster move for Pete Alonso (wrist), who is headed to the injured list. The utility infielder has posted just a .590 OPS this season but will offer the Mets a quality glove at multiple spots as they scramble to account for the loss of Alonso.

Albies went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk in Thursday's 13-10 extra-inning win over the Mets.

Coming into Albies' final at-bat, he was the only one of Atlanta's starters without a hit in the contest. The second baseman wiped away that narrative with a three-run shot off Tommy Hunter to send his team home with a win. Albies has gone deep three times in his past four games, batting .412 (7-for-17) with six RBI, five runs and a stolen base over that span.

Torres went 1-for-8 with a two-run home run across both games of Thursday's doubleheader split with the White Sox.

Torres notched just one hit in the twin bill, but it was a two-run homer that accounted for the majority of the Yankees' runs in the nightcap. The second baseman hit out of the No. 2 hole in each contest after batting leadoff in 15 straight games coming in. It's not clear if the move down in the order will be permanent, but it shouldn't affect Torres' production much, and it may help him shake things up a bit, as he's struggled with a 3-for-28 stretch at the plate over his past seven games.

Gonzalez went 0-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in the opening game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.

It wasn't a successful day at the plate for Gonzalez, who also went 0-for-3 in the nightcap to finish at 0-for-6 overall. However, he redeemed himself from a fantasy perspective with two thefts in the opener to bring his total to six on the season. Four of the steals have come since May 30, a stretch during which he has started seven of Chicago's eight games.

Ellis is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Dodgers.

Ellis will remain on the bench for a third consecutive game Friday and it appears as if he's lost the grip he had on the starting job at third base with Alec Bohm (hamstring) on the injured list. Edmundo Sosa will draw the start at the hot corner and bat ninth in the series opener with Los Angeles.

Moncada went 1-for-8 with a solo home run across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Moncada took Luis Severino deep in the third inning of the opening game to tally his third home run of the season, though he also struck out three times across the twin bill. It was his first long ball in 28 games, which encompasses most of his season due to injury. Moncada currently has a .675 OPS across 131 plate appearances, his second consecutive year under .700. Even so, he remains the primary starter at third base.

Davis went 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Rockies.

Davis has hit safely in seven straight games, going 10-for-26 (.385) with a .972 OPS in that span. The 30-year-old Davis has enjoyed a breakout season in San Francisco since earning the starting job at third base. He's slashing .291/.373/.490 with nine homers, 34 RBI and 28 runs scored across 228 plate appearances on the campaign.

Ramirez went 3-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI in Thursday's 10-3 win over the Red Sox.

This was the first three-homer game of Ramirez's career. The third baseman hadn't gone yard since May 21, batting .212 (14-for-66) over his 15-game power drought. On the season, he's up to nine homers and 36 RBI in 59 games, and his .807 OPS would be his lowest mark since 2019.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, his ninth long ball of the season, in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Bregman has been red hot of late, as he has hits in 13 of his last 14 games with three homers, 14 RBI and a .358 (19-for-53) batting average over that stretch. Fantasy managers can only hope that it's not a mirage, as the third baseman has had a pedestrian campaign by his standards. Although it's still early, his .403 SLG and .751 OPS would be the lowest marks of his career.

Riley went 4-for-6 with a home run, three total runs and two total RBI against the Mets in a 13-10 extra-inning win Thursday.

Riley got Atlanta off to a fast start in what ended up being a slugfest, raking a two-run shot to right field in the first inning. That was one of a season-high four hits for the third baseman in the contest, lifting his batting average to .281. Riley has produced four consecutive multi-hit performances, going 10-for-17 (.588) with seven runs over that stretch.

Neto went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in a 3-1 win against the Cubs on Thursday.

Neto sat out Saturday's contest with a bruised foot, but he returned Sunday and started for the second straight game Thursday. The rookie reached base twice in the victory and also nabbed a theft in the sixth inning. Neto is slashing just .147/.286/.176 over his past 12 contests, but he continues to see near-everyday work as the Angels' primary shortstop.

Franco went 0-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Thursday against the Twins.

Franco went hitless for the first time in his last 11 starts, though his performance was still notable because he swiped his 22nd bag of the season. It was his first stolen base attempt since returning from a minor hamstring injury June 5. In addition to his speed, Franco has also matched his highest homer total in a single season with seven across only 265 plate appearances.

Crawford went 1-for-1 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's victory over the Rockies.

Crawford, pinch-hitting for Casey Schmitt in the ninth inning, delivered an RBI double off Pierce Johnson to tie the game 4-4 before scoring on Joc Pederson's two-out base hit. The 36-year-old Crawford had been stuck in a 1-for-13 slump coming into Thursday's contest while retreating to a part-time role. Overall, he's slashing just .195/.283/.354 with four homers, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored through 127 plate appearances this season.

Arcia went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a 10-inning with over the Mets on Thursday.

The shortstop singled home a run in the third inning and came through with a game-tying solo homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth off Mets closer David Robertson. The long ball was Arcia's first since May 17, a span of 19 games. Despite the recent power drought, he's been hitting pretty well, slashing .309/.356/.368 over that stretch.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Rays.

Correa singled in his first at-bat before crushing a leadoff homer his second time around to put the Twins up 1-0 in the top of the fourth. It was his seventh long ball of the season and his first since May 13 against the Cubs as the shortstop continues to try and gut it out while dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left heel. Correa's average now sits at .210 following the two-hit outing Thursday, and he's gone just 4-for-24 at the plate over his last six games.

Taylor went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory over Cincinnati.

Taylor kept the momentum going for the Dodgers with a leadoff homer in the top of the fourth inning to put the team up 4-0 behind a dominant Clayton Kershaw. He would later add a single to give him just his fourth multi-hit game since the start of May. The shortstop came into Thursday's matchup having gone just 3-for-16 since his two-homer game on May 28 and remains a highly inconsistent bat in the Dodgers' lineup. He is, however, already up to 10 long balls on the season.

Olivares was placed on the restricted list Friday, Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

There's no other information available at this time. Olivares, 27, leaves behind a .232/.300/.413 batting line with five homers and five steals through 47 games on the season for the Royals. Nate Eaton has been called up in a corresponding move.

Eaton was recalled Friday from Triple-A Omaha, Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

He'll take over the 26-man roster spot left vacant by Edward Olivares, who has been placed on the restricted list. Eaton has gone 3-for-52 (.058) with 21 strikeouts this season at the major-league level.

Lowe is not in the lineup for Friday's tilt versus the Rangers.

As always is the case when the Rays are facing a left-hander, Lowe will begin this one on the bench. Manuel Margot will get the call in right field.

The Pirates recalled Smith-Njigba from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Smith-Njigba began the season with the Pirates but was optioned out to Triple-A on April 26 after putting up just a .435 OPS through his first 37 plate appearances. Since then, he's slashed .245/.339/.547 with 22 RBI across 124 plate appearances in Indianapolis and has now re-earned a spot on the MLB roster. Smith-Njigba will give the Pirates additional depth in the outfield; meanwhile, Chase De Jong will be designated for assignment to free up a roster spot.

Kepler is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Toronto.

Kepler's OPS on the season is down to .627 following a 4-for-33 stretch at the plate since he returned from the injured list. Willi Castro will play right field Friday.

Gurriel (groin) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Detroit.

Gurriel hasn't played since exiting Sunday's game versus Atlanta with right groin tightness. There's been no indication to this point that he could need a trip to the injured list, but clearly we're getting to that point where it's a possibility. Corbin Carroll will play left field Friday.

Irvin will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday to start against the Royals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Irvin has made four appearances (three starts) this season with Baltimore with limited success. He holds a 10.38 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in the majors through 13 innings, but his Triple-A numbers (3.21 ERA and 1.05 WHIP) are much more reassuring. Irvin will have the benefit of facing a Royals lineup that ranks 27th in team OPS this year, but his shaky history makes him a risky fantasy play.

The Tigers transferred Turnbull (neck) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Turnbull landed on the 15-day injured list May 12 (retroactive to May 7) and has yet to resume throwing. The move to the 60-day IL will keep him out until closer to the All-Star break and open a spot on the 40-man roster for Nick Solak, who was claimed off waivers from Atlanta on Friday.

Rodon (back/forearm) will throw at least two more live bullpen sessions before moving on to an extended rehab assignment, Max Goodman of NJ Advance Media reports.

Rodon threw his first bullpen session at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday and said it was "good," emphasizing that it was a "big step" in his goal of making his first regular-season start for the Yankees. The southpaw threw 20 pitches and sat at 92 to 94 mph on his fastball, and the tentative plan is for him to throw again Sunday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Rodon will then have at least one more live BP before embarking on a minor-league rehab stint that will allow him to ramp up his pitch count. Considering that progression, it appears Rodon won't make it back to the big club until at least early July.

The Blue Jays reinstated White (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

White has been on the shelf all season due to a right shoulder impingement and was pulled off his rehab assignment May 19 because of fatigue in the same shoulder. Now that he's officially off the injured list, he will likely join the Jays' bullpen in a multi-inning relief role. White logged a 7.74 ERA and 1.74 WHIP through 43 innings with Toronto last season.

Ashcraft was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left calf contusion.

Ashcraft had indicated after taking a comebacker off the calf Thursday versus the Dodgers that he would be fine for his next turn in the rotation. However, given his struggles, it makes sense to give him some down time to get healthy and also work on things. With Ashcraft on the shelf, Andrew Abbott should remain in the Reds' rotation indefinitely.

Sauer (forearm) retired just two hitters and allowed five runs (four earned) on two hits and one walk while striking out one in a rehab outing Monday for the Yankees' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate.

Sauer has spent the entire 2023 season on Double-A Somerset's 7-day injured list while recovering from a right forearm strain. Though he's reached the final phase of his recovery program, Sauer looks like he'll need at least a couple more outings in the FCL or the lower levels of the minors before rejoining the Somerset rotation.

Gonzalez will serve as an opener for the Dogers on Friday in Philadelphia, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Michael Grove had been the projected starter but instead will now be in line for bulk relief innings. With Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper slated to hit for the Phils in the first inning, using the left-handed Gonzalez as an opener makes sense.

The Pirates designated De Jong for assignment Friday.

Less than a week after selecting De Jong's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis, the Pirates will once again place the 29-year-old reliever on waivers. De Jong yielded six runs on five hits and a walk over two innings during his last appearance June 6. He will be replaced on the MLB roster by Canaan Smith-Njigba, who was recalled from Indianapolis on Friday.

Winder was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Winder made one appearance for the Twins back in late April but has spent the bulk of the year with St. Paul, holding a 6.52 ERA and 20:13 K:BB over 19.1 innings. The righty's full-time move to relief this season hasn't gone terribly well and he figures to be used in low-leverage situations.

Thielbar was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right oblique strain, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Thielbar just returned from the same injury this past weekend and made just one appearance before evidently suffering a setback. He missed more than a month with the injury the first time around. Josh Winder is taking Thielbar's spot in the bullpen.

Muckenhirn could be in line for a promotion to the majors, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

The Mets are in need of a fresh bullpen arm and Puma hears that Muckenhirn is the likely choice to be summoned. The left-handed reliever has yielded one run over 3.2 innings at the big-league level this season.

Bass was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Friday.

Bass has put up a 4.95 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB over 20 relief innings with the Jays this season. He also was recently reprimanded, although not suspended, after sharing an anti-LGBTQIA+ post on social media. Bass will now go through the waiver process.

Alvarez was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with right oblique discomfort.

While the Astros are simply calling it discomfort for now, Alvarez is headed back to Houston to be further evaluated to see if he's dealing with a strain. Generally, oblique injuries result in longer than minimum stays on the IL, but more will be known once Alvarez gets checked out by the doctor.

Ozuna went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 13-10 extra-inning win over the Mets.

Atlanta hitters slugged five homers on the night, with Ozuna's coming in the fifth inning off Stephen Nogosek. The veteran DH continues to produce after turning his season around, and since the beginning of May, Ozuna is slashing .315/.378/.639 with 10 of his 12 homers on the year.

Vientos went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Thursday's 13-10 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

Getting the start at first base and batting ninth, Vientos' rookie struggles continued, and he's now batting .162 (6-for-37) through his first 13 big-league games this season with a 30.8 percent strikeout rate. Pete Alonso (wrist) was placed on the injured list Friday, however, potentially pushing Vientos into a near-everyday role. The 23-year-old was slashing .333/.416/.688 at Triple-A Syracuse prior to his promotion, and while he won't replace Alonso's elite power, Vientos could begin to find some success at the plate with more consistent playing time.

Calhoun went 3-for-8 with a home run, a double, two total runs and three total RBI across both games of a doubleheader against the White Sox on Thursday.

Calhoun led off both games of the twin bill for New York, starting in right field in the matinee and at DH in the nightcap. He accounted for three of the team's five runs in the opener with a run-scoring single and a two-run homer. Calhoun had gone 0-for-10 over his previous four games heading into Thursday, but he looks to be in line for increased playing time with Aaron Judge (toe) on the injured list.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 4-2 win over Minnesota.

Ramirez topped off a three-run inning in the bottom of the fourth with a two-run shot to center field, giving Tampa Bay a 3-1 lead. The designated hitter has now tallied six RBI over his last five games despite going hitless in his previous two and remains a steady contributor in the Rays' lineup. The home run was his ninth of the season, putting him well on pace to smash his previous season high of 11 back in 2019.

Manager Dusty Baker suggested that Alvarez will miss time after suffering an oblique injury in Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez left Thursday's game after feeling discomfort in his oblique while taking swings in the early innings. There hasn't been any further diagnosis, but after the game, Baker said, "We've just got to regroup and try to figure out how we're going to win some ballgames and get through this." Corey Julks and Chas McCormick figure to be the primary beneficiaries of Alvarez's absence.
