White was diagnosed with a left shoulder capsular sprain Friday and is expected to miss the rest of the season, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

The timeline for White's return is 12-to-16 weeks, and although that still leaves room for him to potentially return in September, the more likely outcome is that the Marlins simply shut him down for the year. The 21-year-old southpaw is considered to be one of the top pitching prospects in Miami's farm system, and he'll likely finish the Triple-A season with a 4.34 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB over 18.2 innings.

The Padres placed Laureano (hip) on the 60-day injured list Friday.

The move comes shortly after the team announced Laureano is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair his torn right labrum. Gavin Sheets is likely to move to left field for the remainder of the year, while Ty France becomes the team's new primary first baseman.

The Padres recalled Morgan from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

With Jeremiah Estrada (knee) headed to the injured list, Morgan will return to the big leagues to replenish the Padres' bullpen depth. The 26-year-old righty owns a 6.08 ERA and 2.10 WHIP through 13.1 innings in the majors this season and will likely be limited to low-leverage work as long as he's with San Diego.

The Padres placed Estrada on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Wednesday, with right knee inflammation.

Estrada gave up a run and took the loss during his last appearance Tuesday, and he seems to have come away from the outing with a knee issue. Manager Craig Stammen said Friday that he doesn't expect the right-hander's injury to linger, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, so he could be cleared to return when first eligible. In the meantime, David Morgan will come up from Triple-A El Paso to round out San Diego's bullpen.

Laureano underwent surgery Friday to repair a torn right labrum, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Manager Craig Stammen said that Laureano's surgery is expected to keep him out for 4-to-5 months, making it extremely unlikely that he plays again this season. If the 31-year-old isn't able to make it back before the end of the year, he'll finish 2026 with a .203/.286/.374 slash line alongside seven homers, 21 RBI, 23 runs and seven steals over 53 games. Gavin Sheets will likely take over as San Diego's primary left fielder for the rest of the regular season, which will allow Ty France to start regularly at first base.

Cabrera (3-3) took the loss Friday as the Cubs were routed 18-3 by the Giants, surrendering eight runs on eight hits -- including three home runs -- and one walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out six.

Activated from the IL earlier in the day after being sidelined since May 20 due to a blister issue, Cabrera ran into a buzzsaw in his worst performance of the season. The right-hander served up a two-run homer to Willy Adames in the first inning before things completely fell apart in the fourth, an inning highlighted by a grand slam from Matt Chapman. Cabrera got the hook after 80 pitches (49 strikes), and he'll carry a 4.99 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 53:21 K:BB through 57.2 innings into his next outing, which is set to come on the road next week in Colorado.

Schmitt went 4-for-6 with two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 18-3 rout of the Cubs.

The 27-year-old utility player was one of three Giants to go yard twice on the afternoon along with Matt Chapman and Willy Adames -- the third time in franchise history that's happened, after Reggie Sanders and two teammates did it in 2002, and a trio headlined by Hall of Famer Willie Mays accomplished it in 1956. Schmitt has already established a new career high with 15 homers on the season, and nine of them have come in his last 19 games -- a stretch in which he's batting .322 (28-for-87) with 14 runs and 20 RBI.

Moniak (ankle) has been cleared to begin baseball activities, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Manager Warren Schaeffer said Friday that Moniak resumed hitting off a tee during Colorado's series against the Angels, but the 28-year-old outfielder remains without a return timeline. He has been sidelined by right ankle tendinitis since late May and will likely embark on a rehab assignment before coming off the IL.

Adames went 2-for-2 with two walks, two home runs, four runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 18-3 rout of the Cubs.

Three different Giants hitters launched two long balls on the afternoon, with Adames' pair coming in the first inning off Edward Cabrera and in the sixth off Hoby Milner. Adames has 11 homers on the season, with eight of them coming in his last 17 games -- a stretch in which the shortstop is batting .297 (19-for-64) with 16 RBI and 17 runs.

Chapman went 2-for-3 with two home runs and eight RBI in Friday's 18-3 rout of the Cubs.

The veteran third baseman came into the game with just two long balls on the season, but he doubled that total with a grand slam in the fourth inning off Edward Cabrera and a three-run blast in the sixth off Ethan Roberts. Chapman added a sacrifice fly in the fifth. It's been a tough season so far for Chapman, but over his last 16 games he's batting .310 (18-for-58) with five doubles and three of his four homers, along with an 8:8 BB:K. He's averaged 23.8 home runs over the previous five years, and Friday's massive performance could signal to beginning of a summer surge.
