Luis Urias 2B | TOR
Brewers' Luis Urias: Exits with thumb injury
Urias left Friday's game against the Padres with right thumb discomfort, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Discomfort is a symptom, not a diagnosis, so it's hard to say what exactly Urias' availability will be in the short term. The Brewers are running out of healthy players capable of playing shortstop, as Willy Adames and Mike Brosseau are already on the injured list. Pablo Reyes replaced Urias in this one.

Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU
Mets' Luis Guillorme: Not in Friday's lineup
Guillorme is not in Friday's lineup against the Dodgers.
He had started six straight games, hitting .455 with five walks and two strikeouts, prior to this one. Jeff McNeil is starting at second base while J.D. Davis starts at designated hitter.

Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL
Giants' Thairo Estrada: Joins Friday's lineup
Estrada was added to the lineup for Friday's game against Miami.
For a second consecutive game, Estrada will join the starting nine after he was initially slated to come off the bench. Donovan Walton (undisclosed) was a late scratch, so Estrada will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

Jahmai Jones: Placed on release waivers
Jones (elbow) was placed on unconditional release waivers by the Orioles on Friday.
Jones was designated for assignment by the Orioles last weekend, and the team had to either trade him or release him since he's currently injured. If the 24-year-old goes unclaimed on release waivers, he'll have the option of re-signing with the Orioles.

Guardians' Andres Gimenez: On bench Friday
Gimenez isn't starting Friday against the Orioles.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Not starting Friday
Albies isn't starting Friday's game against the Rockies, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Nabs steal Thursday
Lux wen 2-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Mets.
Lux knocked two singles in the contest, and he stole his fourth bag of the campaign in the third inning.

Brendan Donovan 3B | SEA
Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: On base three times Thursday
Donovan went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Cubs.
Donovan's batting has cooled a bit lately -- he's hitting .231 over his last eight games. In that span, he's also walked five times while striking out just twice. The 25-year-old has a .303/.442/.421 slash line with one home run, nine RBI, 14 runs scored, a stolen base and six doubles through 95 plate appearances. Impressively, his plate discipline has been solid after he didn't post a walk in his first 11 contests. He's walking at a 18.3 percent clip while striking out at just 13.7 percent.

Nolan Gorman 3B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Returns to lineup
Gorman (back) is starting Friday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Gorman didn't appear in any of the last three games due to lower-back tightness, but he participated in batting practice and will serve as the designated hitter while batting second Friday. Over his last three games, he's gone 7-for-10 with two homers, a double, six RBI and five runs.
