Nootbaar went 2-for-6 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Reds.

Nootbaar hit leadoff and recorded a single in his first at-bat of the campaign before adding an RBI double in the sixth. The 28-year-old slashed .234/.325/.361 with 13 homers, 48 RBI, 68 runs scored and four steals across 583 plate appearances in 2025 and should settle into an everyday role as long as he can stay healthy.

Walker went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 10-3 win over the Reds.

Walker tallied his second straight three-hit performance, highlighted by what proved to be the game-winning RBI double in the fifth inning. The 24-year-old has also swiped a base in back-to-back games and now sits one steal shy of matching the career-high 10 he recorded last season. Overall, he's slashing .297/.359/.547 with 15 homers, 45 RBI, 42 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 256 plate appearances.

Singer (2-6) took the loss against the Cardinals on Friday, allowing four runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks with six strikeouts over four innings.

Singer allowed runs in three different frames and struggled with his command, throwing just 49 of 89 pitches for strikes. While only one of the three runs he allowed Friday was earned, the 29-year-old has now surrendered at least three runs in six straight starts, a stretch in which he's gone 0-5 while yielding 12 home runs. He'll carry a disappointing 5.89 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 42:19 K:BB across 55 innings this season into a road matchup against the Padres next week.

Leahy did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-3 win over the Reds, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with one strikeout over four innings.

Leahy surrendered three runs in the first inning but was able to rebound with three scoreless frames before departing at 79 pitches. While the 29-year-old has allowed just four earned runs over his past two starts, he's managed only 8.1 innings during that stretch. For the year, he owns a 4.42 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 47:24 K:BB across 59 innings and lines up for a road start against the Mets next week.

Harris was removed from Friday's game against Pittsburgh due to back tightness, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Manager Walt Weiss said after the game that the team isn't too concerned about Harris' back, and there's a strong chance that he'll be back in the starting nine Saturday. If the 25-year-old were to sit, Eli White and Mauricio Dubon would likely share center field duties.

Bachar will serve as the Marlins' opening pitcher during Saturday's game against the Rays, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Bachar pitched 2.2 shutout innings when the Marlins last relied on him to work as an opener Tuesday in Washington, so they'll give him another opening assignment during Saturday's contest. It's unknown whether Miami will use a bulk reliever behind Bachar or treat the game as a bullpen day.

Fitzpatrick was removed from Friday's game against the Rockies due to an apparent injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

After tossing a scoreless sixth inning Friday, Fitzpatrick went back out to the mound to pitch the seventh but injured himself while warming up. The Brewers will likely provide an update on his status after they take a closer look at him.

Gusto (0-1) took the loss against the Rays on Friday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one batter in two innings.

Gusto made his first start of the season Friday, but it was a rough outing for the 27-year-old right-hander. He gave up all three of his runs in the first inning and tossed 33 pitches before turning the keys over to Tyler Phillips in the third. Unfortunately for Gusto, he was unable to avoid the loss, as his Marlins teammates were limited to just two hits and a walk in a shutout. He has given up six runs across his two outings since being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Snell (elbow) began playing catch Friday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Snell still has a lot of work to do before coming off the injured list, but it's an encouraging sign that he's been cleared to throw roughly two weeks after undergoing surgery on his elbow. A clearer timeline for his return will begin to emerge as he checks off boxes during his throwing program, though he won't be eligible for activation until after the All-Star break.

The Rockies recalled Agnos from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Agnos will rejoin the big-league roster to provide extra bullpen depth as Tanner Gordon (hip) moves to the injured list. Agnos has performed poorly in the majors this season, accumulating a 7.78 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through 37 innings.
