Hoskins went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

Hoskins got aboard with a walk and stole second in the eighth inning, but he was left stranded. The first baseman had a powerful first month of the season with eight home runs in 26 games. He slashed .231/.273/.529 with 14 RBI and 19 runs scored across 110 plate appearances. Speed's not a huge part of Hoskins' game -- he's never had more than five stolen bases in a season (2018).

Cooper (foot) went 2-for-5 with an RBI single in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to Washington.

Cooper didn't end up missing a game after fouling a ball off of his foot Wednesday. He knocked in Miami's lone run Friday, plating Jose Devers with a 10th-inning single. The 30-year-old Cooper has a .197/.288/.324 slash line with two home runs, 10 RBI, seven runs scored and no stolen bases across 80 plate appearances this year. He has a near-everyday role in right field while Adam Duvall is covering for Starling Marte (ribs) in center field.

Calhoun underwent a procedure to excise the left semitendinosus tendon in his left hamstring Friday, Jack Magruder of the Associated Press reports.

Calhoun landed on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain Thursday, and it appears as though he'll miss several weeks after he underwent surgery. The procedure usually carries a recovery timetable of 6-8 weeks, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports. Pavin Smith, Nick Heath and Daulton Varsho could see an uptick in playing time while Calhoun is unavailable.

Olson (eye) isn't starting Friday's game against the Orioles, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Olson has been dealing with an eye issue since he suffered an injury during batting practice Thursday, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight day. Mitch Moreland will start at first base while Jed Lowrie shifts to DH and Tony Kemp enters the lineup at the keystone.

Voit (knee) is scheduled to play a rehab game with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

The 30-year-old progressed to taking live at-bats at the alternate training site this week, and the next step in his recovery is rehab games. Voit could require a fair amount of reps before being cleared for big-league action after missing the first month of the season while recovering from knee surgery in late March for a partially torn meniscus.

Cooper (foot) is starting in right field and batting third Friday against the Nationals.

He gets a favorable lineup placement with southpaw Jon Lester on the hill for Washington. Cooper fouled a ball off his left foot in Wednesday's game.

Naylor is out of the lineup Friday against the White Sox.

Naylor is splitting his playing time between first base and right field, but he'll be on the bench for Friday's contest. Yu Chang receives the start at first base while Jordan Luplow works in right for Cleveland.

Gurriel is not in the lineup Friday against the Rays, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

The 36-year-old started the first 25 games of the season at first base for the Astros, and he'll receive a well-earned day off after posting a .999 OPS with four homers, seven doubles, 16 RBI and 11 runs. Aledmys Diaz will take over at first base in place of Gurriel on Friday.

Hiura will not start Friday against Los Angeles, Craig Coshun of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports

This will be the infielder's third consecutive game out of the lineup. Hiura's average, now .169, has risen slowly since a dreadful start to 2021, but he continues to cede playing time to Daniel Vogelbach at first base.

White was placed on the bereavement list Friday.

White will likely miss at least the weekend series against the Angels while on the list. Jacob Nottingham was added to the roster in a corresponding move.
