Rendon is being placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with right wrist inflammation, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon was withheld from Friday's lineup due to the injury, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. The 31-year-old has apparently played through the injury throughout most of the season, but he'll now miss some time after it flared up while he was taking a swing Thursday. It's unclear exactly how long Rendon is expected to be out, though he'll be eligible to be activated June 6.

Lewis is starting in center field for Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Minnesota initially indicated Lewis would remain at shortstop after being demoted to St. Paul on May 18, but he's now also seen action at third base, left field and center field. The 22-year-old hit .308/.325/.564 with two home runs, four doubles and five RBI across his first 11 big-league games, but he was sent back to Triple-A once Carlos Correa returned from the injured list. Lewis is gearing up to rejoin the Twins in a utility role at some point, though it's unclear when exactly that may happen.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres with a lower-back injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Hayes went 0-for-5 with an RBI and two strikeouts Wednesday against the Rockies, and it's unclear when he picked up the injury. He should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status. Rodolfo Castro will move to the hot corner while Diego Castillo is starting at shortstop.

Rendon isn't in the lineup Friday against Toronto due to a right wrist injury and is undergoing an MRI, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The 31-year-old has apparently managed the injury throughout the season, but it flared up while he took a swing during Thursday's contest. Rendon's outlook should receive some clarity when the team announces the results of the MRI. In the meantime, he should be considered day-to-day.

Chapman is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

Chapman started the past 37 games and will receive a day off while hitting .194 over his last 10 contests. Santiago Espinal will move to the hot corner with Cavan Biggio manning second base.

Kieboom underwent Tommy John surgery Friday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Tommy John surgery doesn't come with as long of a timeline for hitters as it does for pitchers, but Kieboom's recovery will still wipe out the remainder of his 2022 campaign. The Nationals hope he'll be ready for spring training next year, at which point he'll be coming off a lost season with a career .197/.304/.285 slash line to his name, though he'll still be just 25 years old.

Muncy (arm) remains on the bench Friday against Arizona.

The Dodgers have yet to announce a trip to the injured list for Muncy, but one could be coming according to reports that emerged Thursday. He continues to deal with pain in his right arm, the same one in which he suffered a partially torn UCL late last season. He'll miss his second straight game Friday, with Hanser Alberto starting at second base and Justin Turner starting at third.

Rendon is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon has a .749 OPS and three home runs through 22 games in May and will take a seat Friday for the second time in the past four contests. Tyler Wade will man the hot corner while Luis Rengifo is starting at second base.

Donaldson (illness) was transferred to the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Friday, retroactive to May 24.

Donaldson spent the last few days on the COVID-19 IL, but he continued to test negative for the virus despite exhibiting flu-like symptoms. However, he's also dealing with a shoulder injury that will force him to miss at least another week. Once the 36-year-old is deemed healthy enough to return, it's possible he'll be forced to miss at least one matchup since he's been issued a one-game suspension due to inappropriate comments he made to Tim Anderson last weekend. However, Donaldson is appealing the suspension. DJ LeMahieu (wrist) has missed the last four games, so Marwin Gonzalez has served as the starting third baseman recently.

LeMahieu (wrist) isn't starting Friday against Tampa Bay.

LeMahieu will be out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game as he continues to deal with left wrist discomfort. However, he took swings in the cage and will be available off the bench if needed, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports. Even if he doesn't appear in Friday's matchup, LeMahieu expects to return to the lineup Saturday. Gleyber Torres will start at second base while Marwin Gonzalez takes over at the hot corner Friday.
