Guaranteed Rate Field, Chicago, IL

Jake Burger - Good to goBurger (leg) will bat fifth and serve as the designated hitter Friday against the Rangers.

ImpactBurger exited late in Thursday's game against the Dodgers due to an apparent leg injury, but whatever was ailing him evidently wasn't particularly serious. He's been in great form recently, going 8-for-16 with three homers across his last five games, so it's great news for the White Sox that he won't miss any time.

Davis Martin - Pitching behind openerMartin will pitch behind opener Reynaldo Lopez against the Rangers on Friday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

ImpactThe decision at least slightly improves Martin's fantasy appeal, as he'll skip the Rangers' best bats the first time through the order and won't have to pitch five innings to be eligible for a win. That's not to say he has all that much appeal even after that small boost, however, as the unheralded rookie and 2018 14-round pick owns a modest 4.35 ERA and 17.4 percent strikeout rate through two major-league starts after posting a 4.71 ERA and 19.5 percent strikeout rate in four Triple-A outings.

Trea Turner - Swipes 13th bagTurner went 1-for-4 with two runs, an RBI, a walk and a stolen base in an 11-9 victory against the White Sox on Thursday.

ImpactTurner used his speed to manufacture a run in the fifth inning, reaching on an infield single, promptly swiping second base and coming around to score on a Max Muncy double. The star shortstop also drew a much-discussed intentional walk on a 1-2 pitch in the sixth, and he was brought home when Muncy followed with a three-run homer. While Turner's .835 OPS is on pace for his lowest mark in four seasons, he's once again been one of fantasy's most valuable performers with a .302/.358/.477 slash line, seven homers, 30 runs, 46 RBI and 13 thefts over 246 plate appearances.

Reynaldo López - Serving as openerLopez will serve as the opener Friday against the Rangers, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

ImpactLopez has 96 career major-league starts to his name, but don't expect him to pitch particularly deep in this contest even though he's listed as the starter. He's topped out at two innings so far this season and is unlikely to throw any more than that Friday before handing the ball to Davis Martin.

Gavin Lux - Reaches base five times ThursdayLux went 4-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs and an RBI in Thursday's 11-9 win over the White Sox.

ImpactLux notched the first four-hit game of his career, and he added a walk to become the first Dodger to reach base five times in a game this season, per independent baseball writer Blake Harris. The second baseman could have had an even more impressive fantasy line, but he was thrown out trying to steal in the third inning. Nonetheless, it was a nice turnaround for Lux after he had gone 2-for-15 with four strikeouts over his previous five games.

Brusdar Graterol - Picks up win ThursdayGraterol (2-2) pitched a scoreless inning to earn the win against the White Sox on Thursday.

ImpactDodgers starter Tyler Anderson allowed four straight batters to reach base in the fourth inning, so the team turned to Graterol with the bases loaded to stem the tide. The right-hander began by hitting Adam Engel with a pitch to allow a run to score, and he then gave up a sacrifice fly. However, Graterol was able to retire the final two batters of the frame to limit the damage. Los Angeles responded with six runs in the top of the fifth to take the lead and put Graterol in line for the win. Graterol hs been a key cog in the team's bullpen this season with a career-high seven holds in addition to the pair of victories.

Mitch White - Sent to minorsWhite was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

ImpactThe 27-year-old made starts in his past four outings for the Dodgers and had a 3.31 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB over 16.1 innings, but he'll head to the minors with Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) set to rejoin the rotation this weekend. White should be a candidate to for any spot starts the rest of the season for Los Angeles.
