Betts is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Betts will join Freddie Freeman, Tommy Edman and Max Muncy on the bench for Friday's series opener after the Dodgers clinched in the NL West with an 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Hyeseong Kim will start at shortstop and bat fifth.

Gilbert is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Colorado, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Gilbert will get the night off Friday after making back-to-back starts in right field. Grant McCray will draw the start in right instead. Gilbert hasn't had a multi-hit performance since Sept. 1.

Collins is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Reds on Friday.

Collins will be on the bench for a third consecutive game while Jake Bauers, Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick start in the outfield from left to right. Collins has failed to record a hit over his last six games and has slashed .167/.314/.286 with four runs, one homer and five RBI in 51 plate appearances since Sept. 1.

Durbin is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Reds on Friday.

Durbin will be on the bench for Friday's series opener while Andruw Monasterio starts at third base and bats eighth. Durbin went 0-for-8 over his last two starts and has a .766 OPS with six steals, 10 runs, two home runs and seven RBI over 84 plate appearances since Sept. 1.

Gasser is expected to serve as Milwaukee's opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Gasser will be making his second start since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Sept. 21, though he's not expected to work deep enough into Saturday's contest to qualify for a win. The left-hander -- who allowed two earned runs on one hit and two walks across three innings last Sunday in St. Louis -- could be in line for a similar workload Saturday before turning the game over to Jacob Misiorowski, who is expected to work in bulk relief.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Misiorowski will operate in a long-relief role out of the bullpen during the team's weekend series against the Reds, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Assuming he isn't needed in Friday's series opener, Misiorowski is expected to pitch multiple innings behind opener Robert Gasser in Saturday's game against Cincinnati. Misiorowski last started Sept. 19 against the Cardinals, taking a loss after yielding two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters. The 23-year-old right-hander will likely remain in the bullpen for the postseason, especially if Jose Quintana (calf) is reinstated from the 15-day IL ahead of the NLDS.

Hall (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list this weekend, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Friday.

Hall has been sidelined since Aug. 16 due to a strained right oblique, and he's slated to return this weekend and pitch in a contest before the end of the regular season. Hall has served as a long reliever for the Brewers this season, but injuries have limited him to 19 big-league appearances. The 26-year-old has posted a 3.35 ERA and a 27:17 K:BB across 37.2 innings for Milwaukee in 2025.

Megill (elbow) threw a simulated inning Friday and is likely to be activated from the 15-day injured list to pitch in Sunday's regular-season finale, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Megill threw a bullpen Tuesday and faced batters Friday, completing both sessions without a hitch. He's set up to come off the injured list to make an appearance in Sunday's contest, knocking off some rust before the NLDS, which begins Oct. 4. Megill hasn't appeared in a game since Aug. 24 due to a right flexor strain.

Quintana (calf) threw 45 pitches in a simulated game Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Manager Pat Murphy said he thought Quintana threw "fantastic" Friday. The left-hander is tracking toward being available for the start of the NLDS on Oct. 4. Quintana is recovering from a strained left calf and becomes eligible for reinstatement Tuesday.

Tatis (illness) is starting in right field and batting out of the leadoff spot in Friday's series opener against the Diamondbacks.

Tatis missed the Padres' last three games due to an illness that popped up Monday. He's been cleared to return to action Friday, and he'll look to extend his hitting streak to six games. Tatis went 13-for-32 (.406) with 11 runs, three steals, two home runs and three RBI in the eight-game span prior to his absence.
