Kristian Campbell Seen Doing First Base Work

Boston Red Sox infield prospect Kristian Campbell was seen doing some first base drill work at Fenway Park before Friday's series opener against the visiting Atlanta Braves, according to MLB.com's Ian Browne. The Red Sox asked Rafael Devers to consider moving to first base after Triston Casas' (knee) season-ending injury, but he refused, so the club is still searching for answers while mixing in Abraham Toro and Nick Sogard in at the cold corner with Romy Gonzalez (back) on the injured list. The 22-year-old Campbell has been fine offensively as a lineup regular in his first MLB season, but his defensive metrics at second have been lacking. Nothing is official, but if Campbell were to move to first base regularly, it would open up playing time at the keystone in Beantown for David Hamilton and Sogard. Sogard is starting at first in Friday's series opener against the Braves and left-hander Chris Sale.

Harrison Bader Still Absent On Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Harrison Bader (groin) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's series opener at American Family Field against the hosting Milwaukee Brewers. Bader will miss his second straight game after tweaking his groin in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles while trying to make a play in right field. Willi Castro is starting in left field on Friday and will hit fifth, while Kody Clemens draws into the lineup at second base while batting out of the six-hole for the Twins. The Twins are short-handed in the outfield heading into their weekend series with both Bader and Byron Buxton (head) injured. It's unclear if Bader is a candidate to land on the injured list, but he's been a contributor both on offense and defense so far in his first season in Minnesota, hitting a healthy .300 with four homers, 18 RBI, 16 runs and four steals in 110 at-bats.

Ty France Returns for Twins

Minnesota Twins first baseman Ty France (foot) is back at first base and is hitting cleanup for the red-hot Twins in Friday's series opener against the hosting Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Chad Patrick at American Family Field. France missed the last two games for the Twins after fouling a ball off his foot and suffering a contusion in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. It's good news for a suddenly banged-up Twins team who lost outfielders Byron Buxton (head) and Harrison Bader (groin) and shortstop Carlos Correa (head) in the last two days. The 30-year-old France has come back to Earth a bit in the month of May after a hot start and is now slashing .252/.316/.361 with three home runs, 21 RBI, 18 runs and a stolen base. He has never faced Patrick in his career.

Carlos Correa, Byron Buxton Both Out on Friday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (head) and outfielder Byron Buxton (head) are both out of the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers after they collided chasing a pop-up in Thursday's win over the Baltimore Orioles. Although neither player has been put on the injured list, they are both in the league's concussion protocol, and it's unknown if they'll be available to play all weekend. Brooks Lee is starting at short and batting third, while DaShawn Keirsey Jr. is in center field and hitting eighth against Brewers right-hander Chad Patrick. Fantasy managers should prepare for the potential of both Correa and Buxton landing on the seven-day concussion list if they are unable to return in Milwaukee this weekend. Both Lee and Keirsey will be everyday players for Minnesota until Correa and Buxton are able to return.

Hunter Greene to Throw a Bullpen on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said that right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) will throw a bullpen session on Saturday. Greene is recovering from a Grade 1 strain of his right groin on May 8 and will now proceed to throw his first bullpen in his recovery process. The hard-throwing 25-year-old could require multiple bullpen sessions before being cleared to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, so his timetable for a return is a bit unclear right now. But barring a setback, it's not out of the question that he'll be back in the Reds' starting rotation before the calendar flips to June. The former second overall pick in 2017 needs to be stashed in an injured-list spot in all fantasy formats as the team' ace. Before hurting his groin, Greene had gone 4-2 with a 2.36 ERA and 0.81 WHIP with 61 strikeouts and only eight walks in 45 2/3 innings over eight starts.
