Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This appears to be a routine rest day for Marte after he went hitless with three strikeouts during Thursday's contest. In his absence, Kevin Newman will bat ninth and cover second base against right-hander Zack Wheeler. Fantasy managers who have Marte rostered should adjust their lineups ahead of first pitch.

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The team hasn't given a reason as to why Abrams was pulled from the contest. The Nats should give more information on the situation soon, so fantasy managers should stay tuned. In his place, Nasim Nunez will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth against right-hander Jose Soriano.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The lefty slugger was held out of Wednesday's contest due to a minor hamstring issue. It seems that two days of rest has helped as Bellinger will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus lefty Garrett Crochet. Fantasy managers who have Bellinger rostered can get him back in their lineups on Friday.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Austin Hays (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 8) with a left-hamstring strain on Friday and recalled outfielder Cal Stevenson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Hays injured his leg on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and will now miss the next 10 days. The 29-year-old right-handed hitter was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles at the trade deadline to give the Phils a right-handed platoon bat in left field. Until he's able to return, Johan Rojas should draw into the lineup more in center field, with Brandon Marsh occupying left. In his first 10 games in Philadelphia, Hays had gone 10-for-38 (.263) with a home run, two doubles, four RBI, two steals and five runs in 39 plate appearances. The move to Philly was good news for his fantasy value in deeper leagues.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) is going to take batting practice on the field on Monday. "It's a huge step. I'm truly believing he'll be a part of this," manager Alex Cora said. Nothing is guaranteed, but Story appears to be well ahead of schedule after having surgery for a fractured left shoulder in the middle of April, and the Red Sox aren't ruling him out for the rest of the season. Fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up, though, and there's still no timetable for a potential return. In all reality, the Red Sox would probably have to get into the playoffs and make a deep postseason run for the 31-year-old to have a shot at returning. Until Story is able to return either this year or next, the Red Sox will continue to roll with a combination of David Hamilton and Ceddanne Rafaela at the 6 in Beantown.
