  • Ivan Herrera DH | STL

    Herrera extended the Cardinals' lead to two with a solo shot in the bottom of the third. The 26-year-old clubbed his first home run since July 26, ending his 10-game drought. On the season, Herrera has slashed .240/.354/.379 with 13 home runs and 48 RBI in 511 plate appearances.

  • Merrill Kelly SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Exits with injury

    Kelly was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers due to a right leg cramp.

    Kelly made it through 5.2 innings Friday while allowing just one run before calling for a trainer to come out to the mound. The Diamondbacks may keep an eye on Kelly's leg over the next few days to be careful, but his cramp likely won't keep him from making his next scheduled start.

  • Riley O'Brien RP | STL

    Cardinals' Riley O'Brien: Earns save No. 28

    O'Brien earned the save in Friday's 3-2 win against the Rockies, allowing no hits and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

    O'Brien was called in to protect a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning and worked around a leadoff walk to produce a scoreless frame. The 31-year-old has now recorded six consecutive scoreless appearances. On the campaign, the right-hander owns a 3-4 record, 3.28 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 48:20 K:BB and 28 saves through 46.2 innings.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Takes sixth loss

    Feltner (4-6) picked up the loss after allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings in a 3-2 loss to the Cardinals on Friday.

    Feltner recorded his fourth loss in his last five starts. The 29-year-old allowed two runs in the second inning courtesy of two sacrifice flies from Nathan Church and Bryan Torres, and then gave up a solo home run to Ivan Herrera the next inning. On the year, Feltner owns a 5.71 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 59:33 K:BB over 82 innings. The right-hander is slated to start his next game Wednesday against Arizona.

  • Kyle Leahy SP | STL

    Cardinals' Kyle Leahy: Picks up eighth win

    Leahy (8-4) earned the win after allowing two runs on eight hits while striking out eight over five innings during a 3-2 win over the Rockies on Friday. He did not issue a walk.

    Leahy recorded his eighth consecutive start allowing two earned runs or fewer dating back to June 23. Leahy allowed two runs on two RBI groundouts from Troy Johnston. Over his last seven starts, the 29-year-old owns a 3-0 record, 1.75 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB over 36 innings. The right-hander is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Wednesday against the Phillies.

  • Carson Benge RF | NYM

    Mets' Carson Benge: Pulled with wrist injury

    Benge was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates with left wrist soreness, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Benge appeared to jam his wrist while making a sliding catch in the third inning, and he was replaced in left field once the Mets' defense took the field in the fourth. Initial X-rays on his wrist came back negative, per Mike Puma of the New York Post, though Benge will undergo additional testing Saturday to confirm he didn't suffer a serious injury.

  • Blake Snell SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Making return Tuesday

    Snell (elbow) will return from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Royals in Los Angeles, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Snell will receive the green light to return to the Dodgers rotation after making four rehab starts in the minors, during which he posted a 3.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB across 11.2 innings. Although his final outing at Triple-A lasted just 3.2 frames, the 33-year-old southpaw managed to build up to 73 pitches, so the Dodgers may not place a significant restriction on his workload as he makes what will be just his second start in the majors this season.

  • Giants' Marcelo Mayer: Nearing rehab assignment

    Mayer (forearm) could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment next week, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Mayer landed on the injured list in late June due to a stress reaction in his left forearm. He has since been traded from Boston to San Francisco and now seems to be on the verge of making his organizational debut following multiple weeks of hitting and fielding drills. Because he's been on the shelf for more than a month, he'll likely require a handful of reps in the minors before being cleared to play his first game as a Giant.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Padres' Ty France: Idle Friday

    France isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Houston, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    France will catch a breather after recording three hits, an RBI and a run across his last two games. Jake Cronenworth will shift to first base while France sits, allowing Sung-Mun Song to start at second base.
