Anderson (shoulder) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson hasn't seen the field since Sunday while dealing with left shoulder discomfort, and he's expected to be sidelined for at least another week. The 28-year-old underwent an MRI, and the results should determine whether or not a stint on the shelf is necessary.

Maton was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

He has hit .256 with two home runs and two steals in 131 plate appearances in the majors as a rookie. Didi Gregorius was reinstated from the restricted list in a corresponding move.

Moustakas is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

An 0-for-3, two-strikeout effort Wednesday afternoon has Moustakas' average at .161 with two doubles, two home runs and four RBI in his last 10 games. Eugenio Suarez gets the start at third base and bats fifth.

Riley went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Thursday's win over the Rockies.

Riley made his presence felt once again with a two-run double in the top of the third, and that kind of production has become routine for him. The third baseman has been seeing the ball extremely well of late and has recorded hits in all but one of his last nine contests, going 14-for-34 (.412) with a homer, two doubles, six RBI and four runs scored in that span.

Hayes (hand) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Having not played since Sunday, Hayes must be dealing with a fairly significant hand bruise, although there's been no indication a trip to the injured list is in his future. It's unclear whether the 24-year-old will be available off the bench Friday. Hoy Park is starting at third base and batting eighth.

Anderson is considered day-to-day due to shoulder discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Anderson is slated to miss a second consecutive game Thursday, and manager Don Mattingly revealed the third baseman is dealing with shoulder discomfort after diving for a ball Tuesday. It's not yet clear whether the 28-year-old will return to the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Phillies.

Newman isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Newman has been in a slump recently, as he's hit just .077 with two RBI, a walk and three strikeouts across the last seven games. Cole Tucker will shift to shortstop while Wilmer Difo starts at the keystone.

Hayes (hand) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Cubs, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Hayes has been sidelined since he sustained a bruised hand Sunday, and he'll remain out for the series opener against the Cubs. Phillip Evans will take over at third base and bat eighth.

Duffy (neck) is starting Thursday's game against the Pirates.

Duffy was removed from Wednesday's lineup due to neck stiffness, but he'll return to the starting nine a day later. Across his last four starts, the 30-year-old has gone 3-for-12 with five runs, two walks and four strikeouts.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a triple Wednesday in a win over Atlanta.

Muncy was one of two Dodgers with multiple hits in the game. His first-inning solo shot gave the team an early lead, and he banged his second triple of the campaign in the third frame. Muncy trails only Fernando Tatis in the National League with his 30 homers, and he has also registered 80 runs, 78 RBI, 21 doubles and two stolen bases while posting a .261/.388/.937 slash line. His 153 wRC+ trails only Bryce Harper and Tatis among NL hitters.
