Adrianza (oblique) expects to be able to return this season, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

He will receive treatment for five days before possibly advancing to baseball activities. Even if Adrianza gets back before the end of the regular season, he would likely only get back for the final week and would be utilized in a part-time role.

Reyes will start in right field and bat sixth against the Cubs on Saturday.

He enjoyed the first three-hit game of his career Friday, missing the cycle by a home run. Reyes, who will be making just his fourth start in September, is slashing .231/.324/.431 with two homers in 74 plate appearances since being recalled in early August.

Story went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 10-8 win over the Padres.

The slugging shortstop has 32 homers, 20 steals, 79 RBI and a career-high 104 runs on the year to go with his robust .297/.356/.554 slash line. Story has 14 games left on the schedule -- eight of them at home in Coors Field -- to match or exceed the career-high 37 home runs he hit last year.

Adames went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two more runs scored during Friday's win over the Angels.

Adames was the first of three Tampa Bay batters to go deep off Andrew Heaney in the third inning. The 24-year-old shortstop did so with a solo shot, marking his 18th long ball of the season while batting .252/.314/.412.

Bichette went 3-for-5 with a solo walkoff home run, two runs and a walk during a 6-5 extra-innings victory against the Yankees on Friday.

The rookie came into the night with a hit in seven of the past nine games, including four straight, and yet, he's batting only .195 this month. The multi-hit game Friday, though, should help the average and gave him his third homer in September. Bichette has been pretty spectacular since debuting in late July, hitting .313 with 11 home runs, 18 RBI, 29 runs and four steals in 179 at-bats.

Wendle is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

Wendle hits the bench with lefty Andrew Heaney on the mound for Los Angeles. Matt Duffy will get the start at third base.

Chang is not starting Friday against the Twins.

Chang started each of the last four games, going 3-for-14 with a homer. Mike Freeman gets the call at the hot corner Friday.

DeJong went 0-for-4 with two stolen bases and a run in a win over the Rockies on Thursday.

While he didn't partake in the Cardinals' offensive breakout -- in fact, DeJong was the only St. Louis starting position player that didn't hit safely in the contest -- the shortstop made a nice contribution for fantasy managers on the basepaths. Having come into 2019 with just one stolen base apiece in each of his first two big-league seasons, DeJong now has nine swipes on 14 attempts during the current campaign. Coupled with similar career-best marks in doubles (30) , home runs (26) and RBI (72), it's mostly been a banner season for the 26-year-old that even his career-high 127 strikeouts can't sully, considering he's still managed to drop his actual strikeout rate a full four percentage points from last season's 25.2.

Crawford (hamstring) is expected to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener against the White Sox, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Crawford was cleared to return Thursday, but manager Scott Servais opted to give his shortstop's legs one more day of rest. However, it appears he'll jump back into action Friday following an 11-game absence, with final confirmation to come upon the release of starting lineups.

Camargo was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a fractured right shin.

The team downplayed the injury after Camargo exited Wednesday's contest when he fouled a ball off himself, but he now looks to be facing an extended absence. The Braves expect him back in around three weeks but have yet to rule him out for the rest of the season, per Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, though it's difficult to imagine he'll have enough time to get back up to speed to make the postseason roster for the first round.
