Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Officially activated
Rodgers (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Adael Amador 2B | COL
Rockies' Adael Amador: Set for IL stint
Amador will be placed on the injured list Friday with a right oblique strain, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Amador's move to the injured list comes as Brendan Rodgers gets activated from the IL, meaning the rookie's playing time was coming to an end regardless. The 21-year-old Amador appeared in 10 games with the Rockies but struggled to a .171/.194/.200 slash line with a stolen base. While it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined, there is optimism that his recovery will be quick.

Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Reinstatement coming
Rodgers (hamstring) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Rodgers suffered a mild left hamstring strain June 7 and after a couple weeks of recovery and a brief minor-league rehab assignment, he'll rejoin the Rockies active roster. Adael Amador (oblique) will hit the IL in a corresponding move. Prior to the injury, Rodgers owned a .699 OPS across 230 plate appearances.

Gleyber Torres 2B | NYY
Yankees' Gleyber Torres: MRI comes back clean
Torres (groin) was deemed day-to-day after his MRI came back clean Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Torres was lifted from Thursday's game as a precaution due to right groin discomfort, and an MRI confirmed that the injury isn't anything serious. Still, Torres may need a day or two for recovery, which could open up more work for Oswaldo Cabrera and Jahmai Jones.

Adael Amador 2B | COL
Rockies' Adael Amador: Out of Friday's lineup
Amador (oblique) is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Nationals.
Amador had to be pulled from Thursday's game against the Dodgers with a mild oblique issue. It seems at this point to be more of a day-to-day situation, but between the injury, his slow start and Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) being due back soon, Amador looks like an easy drop in most redraft leagues.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Not in Friday's lineup
Marte is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.
Marte served as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter Thursday and is now out of their lineup altogether, although there's no indication at this point that this is anything other than a routine day off. Blaze Alexander is handling second base Friday.

Mets' Jeff McNeil: Sitting again versus lefty
McNeil is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
McNeil has been out of the lineup for two straight games and seven times over the last eight occasions that the Mets have faced a left-hander, and he's pretty clearly in a platoon at second base with Jose Iglesias. Iglesias and his teammates will try to solve southpaw Shota Imanaga on Friday.
