MLB Player News

Gurriel was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Padres due to left middle finger inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Taylor Jones will enter the lineup at first base Saturday. Gurriel had started in each of the last 12 games, but it's not yet clear whether his finger injury will force him to miss additional time.

Mountcastle (hand) will bat sixth and serve as the designated hitter Saturday against the White Sox, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mountcastle hasn't played since getting hit in the hand Tuesday against the Twins. He wasn't going to be in the lineup Friday, but that game got postponed due to inclement weather. The extra day of rest is apparently all he needed to get healthy.

Wade went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI single and two runs scored in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Dodgers. He was also hit by a pitch.

The 27-year-old's only hit of the contest was timely, as he knocked in Steven Duggar in the 10th inning to restore San Francisco's lead. Wade made the start at first base and hit leadoff. San Francisco's first-base depth is thin with Brandon Belt (oblique) and Darin Ruf (hamstring) both on the injured list, although Wilmer Flores (hamstring) is expected back this weekend. Wade will likely serve in a bench role while on the major-league roster.

Rizzo (back) isn't starting Saturday's game against the Reds.

Rizzo will be out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game as he continues to manage back stiffness. He hasn't come off the bench in the last three contests, so it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Saturday. Kris Bryant will shift to first base while Rafael Ortega starts in right field.

Walker (oblique) will be evaluated following his fourth rehab game for Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Walker, who went 2-for-5 and homered for a second straight game Friday, could return to the Diamondbacks as soon as this weekend. This is Walker's second stint on the IL due to the oblique, so Arizona will give him a close examination before having him return.

Beaty went 2-for-2 with a solo home run as Los Angeles fell 8-5 to San Francisco on Friday.

Beaty homered off Anthony DeSclafani for his second of the season and later singled in the fourth before being removed in the fifth. He's slashing a solid .282/.385/.397 but may only be an option in deep leagues due to inconsistent playing time on a stacked Dodgers team.

Mountcastle (hand) remains on the bench Friday against the White Sox.

Mountcastle left Tuesday's game against the Twins after getting hit in the hand by a pitch. He's yet to play since then, but he's feeling better and could return to the lineup over the weekend, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Alonso (hand) took batting practice off a high-velocity machine Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Alonso shed his brace while taking grounders at first base Wednesday, and manager Luis Rojas confirmed that the first baseman is "trending well" in his recovery. Alonso appears to be on track for a relatively brief stay on the injured list, but the team hasn't yet decided whether he'll need a rehab assignment.

O'Hearn was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

O'Hearn had been on the active roster for over a month but didn't do much with his playing time. In 57 plate appearances, he hit just .189/.246/.377 while striking out 35.1 percent of the time. Hunter Dozier (concussion) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Dalbec will sit Friday against the Marlins, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

He could be set to sit more frequently going forward due to the arrival of Danny Santana, who gets the start at first base Friday, but Dalbec doesn't look as though he'll be stuck in a bench role. Three of Santana's five starts have come in center field.
