Lopez went 3-for-5 with three doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Brewers.

Lopez delivered his first three-hit performance since June 27, highlighted by what proved to be a game-winning two-run double in the seventh. The 26-year-old has hit safely in eight of his past 10 games, collecting seven extra-base hits, 10 RBI and five runs scored over that span. On the season, he's slashing .254/.326/.399 with 11 home runs, 54 RBI, 44 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 359 plate appearances.

The Rays placed Kim on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a low back strain, retroactive to Tuesday.

Kim left Monday's game against the White Sox due to lower-back tightness, and he will go on the IL after missing the Rays' last three games. It's the 29-year-old's second stint on the IL this season after he missed the first half of the year while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, plus a calf injury in early July has limited him to just 10 games with the Rays this year. Kim did go through a pregame workout before Friday's contest against the Reds, so he could be facing a short stint on the IL. The Rays reinstated Jonny DeLuca (shoulder) from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

The Rockies are expected to call up Bernabel from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The move won't be made until Saturday, but it comes after the Rockies traded Ryan McMahon to the Yankees in exchange for prospects Josh Grosz and Griffin Herring. After spending the last two seasons with Double-A Hartford, Bernabel has spent the entire 2025 season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .301/.356/.450 with five steals, 18 doubles, eight home runs and 45 RBI in 315 plate appearances. With the Rockies sporting the worst record in the majors, the 23-year-old Bernabel could have an opportunity to serve as the everyday third baseman for the rest of the season.

Henderson is not in the Orioles' starting lineup against the Rockies on Friday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Henderson will get a rest day, with Jackson Holliday shifting over to shortstop and Jordan Westburg starting at second base. Henderson has slashed .277/.324/.462 with four steals, one home run and seven RBI in 70 plate appearances since the beginning of July.

Betts (personal) isn't in the starting nine for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's game that Betts may be away from the team Friday for personal reasons. Betts is out of the lineup, so it's safe to assume that he will be unavailable for the contest. Per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Betts is expected to rejoin the team Saturday, but it's unclear if he'll be part of the starting nine.

The Guardians activated Arias (ankle) from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting at shortstop and batting sixth Friday against the Royals.

The 25-year-old landed on the shelf at the start of July due to an ankle sprain but is ready to rejoin the Guardians after a four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus. Arias should take over as Cleveland's primary shortstop, though his .231/.293/.369 slash line through 77 games this season likely won't provide much job security.

Witt (knee) is batting second and playing shortstop Friday against Cleveland.

Witt was precautionarily held out of Wednesday's game with a minor knee injury that popped up Tuesday. After a team off day, he'll be back in action Friday. Witt is slashing .288/.339/.489 in 443 plate appearances this season.

Kim (back) isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against the Reds, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Kim will be out of the lineup for a third straight game since suffering a back injury Monday. Taylor Walls will draw another start at shortstop Friday. Kim reported lower-back tightness Monday after making an awkward throw to first base.

Rocchio could see a drop in playing time if Gabriel Arias (ankle) is activated this weekend as expected.

Rocchio has performed much better during his second stint in the majors this season and has made a case for sticking on the MLB roster. He opened the year as Cleveland's starter at shortstop, but after posting a .433 OPS through 35 games, he was demoted to Triple-A Columbus in early May. Rocchio had an .837 OPS for the Clippers and a .709 mark since his recall in early July when Arias was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Arias (ankle) could be activated off the 10-day injured list ahead of this weekend's series against the Royals, MLB.com reports.

Arias has played four games so far on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus, including two consecutive nine-inning contests at shortstop Tuesday and Wednesday. The back-to-back work in the field suggests his activation is imminent. Prior to the injury, Arias operated as the Guardians' primary shortstop, having replaced a struggling Brayan Rocchio, but it's unclear if he'll return in the same role. Rocchio, who was called up when Arias landed on the IL in early July, has hit .254 (15-for-59) with a .709 OPS, eight extra-base hits and 11 RBI over 20 games. Those results are much better than what he posted over the first 35 games of the season, and which got him demoted in early May.
