  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Monster performance in loss

    Devers went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, a walk and five RBI in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Mets.

    Devers accounted for nearly all of the Giants' offense, driving in two on a double in the third inning before adding a three-run blast in the eighth. It continued a torrid stretch for the 29-year-old, who's hit safely in 10 of his past 11 games while tallying seven home runs and 18 RBI. For the year, he's slashing .256/.338/.508 with 33 homers, 88 RBI and 83 runs scored across 607 plate appearances.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Nathaniel Lowe: Out versus southpaw

    Lowe is not in the lineup for the nightcap of Friday's doubleheader against Detroit.

    With lefty Andrew Sears starting Friday's nightcap for Detroit, Lowe will ride the bench. David Fry will take over at first base and bat sixth for Cleveland.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Absent from Friday's lineup

    Freeman is not in Friday's lineup against Washington, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    Freeman will get a breather while Enrique Hernandez starts at first base and bats ninth in Friday's series opener. Freeman has gone 12-for-35 (.343) with five RBI, three extra-base hits and eight runs scored over his last 10 outings. He ranks third in the National League in both batting average (.303) and hits (155) this season.

  • Kyle Stowers 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Not in Friday's lineup

    Stowers (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

    The 28-year-old slugger will be held out of the starting nine for at least one game after exiting Thursday's contest due to left hamstring tightness. The specifics of the injury aren't clear, but it's the same hamstring Stowers strained in mid-August, sidelining him for a couple weeks. Deyvison De Los Santos will fill in at first base and bat seventh against Chicago lefty Shota Imanaga.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | CIN

    Reds' Michael Toglia: Transferred to 60-day IL

    The Reds transferred Toglia (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    The move clears space on the 40-man roster for the addition of Carlos Jorge. Toglia is out for the season after undergoing recent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

  • Kyle Stowers 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Dealing with hamstring injury

    Stowers exited Thursday's contest against the Royals with left hamstring tightness, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Stowers was hit by a pitch in the foot during top of the seventh frame, but it was ultimately hamstring discomfort that resulted in him being removed in the eighth inning. The 28-year-old will likely undergo additional imaging and should have his status updated in the near future. It's worth noting that a strain of the same hamstring put Stowers on the injured list for a couple weeks in August.

  • Kyle Stowers 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Exits early Thursday

    Stowers was removed from Thursday night's contest against the Royals in the eighth inning due to an apparent foot injury, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Stowers took a 93.2-mph fastball from Craig Kimbrel off his left foot with two outs in the top of the seventh frame, and he ultimately remained in the contest. The 28-year-old was later replaced by Deyvison De Los Santos in the field with no outs and a runner at second base in the bottom of the eighth. More information on the status of Stowers will likely come following the conclusion of the game.

  • Alec Burleson 1B | STL

    Cardinals' Alec Burleson: Sitting Thursday

    Burleson is not in the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.

    Burleson went 0-for-9 with an RBI and two strikeouts in the first two games of the series against the Dodgers. He'll get a chance to reset on the bench Thursday while Leo Bernal starts at first base and Pedro Pages works behind the dish.

  • Brett Harris 1B | SF

    Giants' Brett Harris: Claimed by Giants

    The Giants claimed Harris off waivers from the Red Sox on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento.

    Harris has managed just a .192/.307/.286 batting line across 74 games covering parts of three big-league seasons. The 28-year-old has been a steady performer in the minors, though, slashing .284/.382/.451, and he can handle first base, third base and second base defensively.

  • Marlins' Deyvison De Los Santos: Back in majors

    The Marlins recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

    De Los Santos has had a few cups of coffee in the majors this season, going 3-for-9 with a double while appearing in four games with the Marlins. He could be in for a longer stay with the big club this time around after slashing .286/.359/.700 with nine homers, 18 RBI and 14 runs in 21 games at Triple-A since the beginning of August, though he is still likely to be limited to a bench role. Leo Jimenez was DFA'd in a corresponding move.
