  • Keaton Winn RP | SF

    Giants' Keaton Winn: Returns from IL

    The Giants reinstated Winn (elbow) from the injured list Friday.

    Winn will return to the Giants' bullpen after spending nearly a month on the shelf due to a right elbow strain. During his rehab assignment, the 28-year-old fired three scoreless innings while striking out three batters and walking two across three appearances. Now healthy, he figures to reclaim a high-leverage role and could be in the mix for saves if Caleb Kilian continues to struggle.

  • Phillies' Justin Crawford: Scratched with sore knee

    Crawford was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against Detroit due to left knee soreness, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

    The severity of Crawford's injury is unclear, but it will be enough to keep him out of Friday's series opener. Derek Hill will fill in as Philadelphia's center fielder and bat eighth.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Getting rest Friday

    Cronenworth isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

    Cronenworth will get a break Friday after going 4-for-15 while collecting a homer, three RBI and two runs during San Diego's previous series against the D-backs. Miguel Andujar will serve as the DH and bat seventh in Cronenworth's absence.

  • Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Resting up Friday

    Song isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

    After going just 1-for-13 with an RBI and two runs scored in four games against the Diamondbacks, Song will take a seat to begin Friday's series opener against Toronto. Fernando Tatis will move to second base as a result, opening up right field for Jase Bowen.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Sitting Friday

    Campusano isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Campusano will retreat to the bench Friday after going 4-for-8 with a homer and two runs scored during San Diego's last series against Arizona. Rodolfo Duran will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.

  • Tommy Troy LF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Idle Friday

    Troy isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

    Troy has collected a base hit in each of his last four games, but the D-backs will keep him on the bench to begin Friday's contest. Ryan Waldschmidt will start in center field and bat eighth.

  • Max Kepler LF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Max Kepler: On bench Friday

    Kepler isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

    Kepler will get a breather Friday after going 4-for-13 with a homer, six RBI and two runs scored during Arizona's four-game set against the Padres. His absence will allow Lourdes Gurriel to start in left field and open a spot in the lineup for Tim Tawa at first base.

  • Kyle Hurt RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Kyle Hurt: Starting bullpen game

    Hurt will start a bullpen game for the Dodgers on Friday versus the Diamondbacks, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

    Hurt has plenty of past starting experience, but he's been a reliever almost exclusively since 2024 and hasn't recorded more than four outs in an appearance for the Dodgers in 2026. With no long relievers on their roster, the Dodgers will employ a true bullpen game after Shohei Ohtani (knee) was scratched from what was scheduled to be his final start before the All-Star break.

  • Mets' Clay Holmes: Throwing live batting practice

    Holmes (fibula) threw a live batting practice session Friday at Citi Field, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    It's the first time Holmes has faced hitters since he suffered a fractured right fibula back in mid-May. The right-hander could begin a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break. He posted a 2.39 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB through 52.2 innings before getting hurt.

  • Nathan Church CF | STL

    Cardinals' Nathan Church: Not starting versus Sale

    Church is absent from the lineup for Friday's tilt versus Atlanta.

    With lefty Chris Sale toeing the slab, the left-handed-hitting Church will begin the festivities on the bench. Jose Fermin will patrol center field and bat seventh for the Cardinals.
