Duran was removed from Friday's game against the Nationals after getting hit on his right ankle by a line drive, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Duran wasn't able to put much weight on his right leg after getting hit by a 94-mph liner in the ninth inning, and the Phillies had to bring in a cart to take him off the field. More details on the severity of his injury will come after the Phillies get a closer look at him.

The Dodgers designated Fernandez for assignment Friday.

The Dodgers claimed Buddy Kennedy off waivers from Toronto on Friday to compensate for Max Muncy (oblique) moving to the injured list, so Fernandez will end up as the roster casualty necessary to clear space on the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old has surrendered just one run and struck out 17 batters in 12.2 innings since being sent down to Triple-A in early July, which may help his chances of being claimed by another team off waivers.

The Giants placed Walker on the paternity list Friday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Walker will be allowed to miss up to three games while spending time with his expanding family, putting him in line to return by the time the Giants begin their next series in San Diego on Monday. Keaton Winn was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Stewart said Friday he received cortisone and PRP injections in his right shoulder last week, and his shoulder has responded well, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Stewart got the injections to address inflammation, and while he'll still be shut down from throwing for another week, he's optimistic about a September return. Stewart was placed on the shelf Tuesday, just four appearances into his Dodgers career after being traded from Minnesota near the trade deadline.

Peralta will open Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Randy Vasquez is expected to handle the bulk of innings Friday, but it will be Peralta on the mound to face the formidable trio of Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Will Smith in the first inning of the series opener. The 34-year-old Peralta carries a 3.13 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 54.2 innings on the year and will likely be limited to just one inning of work during his second career MLB start.

Scott (elbow) threw a 22-pitch simulated inning Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Scott has been throwing off a mound since Aug. 6, though Friday marks the first time he's done so against live hitters. The Dodgers may still look to get him a few tune-up outings in the minors before activating him from the injured list, but a late-August return is still on the table.

Ashcraft did not factor into the decision in Friday's 3-2 win over the Cubs, allowing one run on three hits and no walks with four strikeouts over five innings.

Ashcraft was highly efficient, needing just 61 pitches to get through five innings while generating nine swinging strikes. It was the 25-year-old's longest outing of the season, and he's now given up only two earned runs over 8.1 frames in back-to-back starts after spending most of the year in the bullpen. He owns a 3.02 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB across 41.2 innings and could get another turn in the Pirates' rotation, tentatively lining up for a home start against the Blue Jays next week.

The Rockies reinstated Chivilli on the restricted list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Chivilli had been on the restricted list since Aug. 8, but he's been activated from the list and booted from the 26-man roster. The 23-year-old appeared in five games during the MLB stint, yielding 11 runs on 15 hits across seven innings.

The Brewers optioned Anderson to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Jacob Misiorowski (lower leg) is back from the injured list, which results in Anderson losing his spot on the 26-man roster. Anderson had been with the Brewers since June 13, posting a 2.08 ERA and a 29:7 K:BB across 26 innings during the lengthy MLB stint.

The Reds recalled La Sorsa from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

The 27-year-old reliever will join the 26-man roster Friday in place of Chase Burns (elbow), who's landed on the 15-day injured list. La Sorsa hasn't pitched for the Reds since June 30. He's surrendered six runs in 4.2 innings in the big leagues this season, but he's cruised to a 2.70 ERA in 40 innings at Louisville.
