Reynolds (groin) went 1-for-1 with an RBI in Friday's game against the Rockies.

Reynolds was a late scratch from the lineup, but he entered the game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and managed to deliver an RBI single. While that was a positive indication that his injury isn't particularly serious, Reynolds was immediately removed from the game in favor of a pinch runner. Injury aside, Reynolds is in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 16-for-38 with four homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored.

Lawlar was removed from Friday's game against the Twins with an apparent injury, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Lawlar legged out an infield single on a bunt in the eighth inning, but he tweaked something while doing so and was immediately lifted for a pinch runner. It's not immediately clear what the 23-year-old is dealing with, but the team may have an update on his status after the game. If he ends up needing to miss time, Jorge Barrosa would be the next man up to start in center field.

Sheets went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.

Sheets opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before adding a solo blast in the eighth. The 30-year-old has gone deep twice in his past six games, though he's hitting just .195 through 15 June contests overall. On the season, he's slashing .230/.318/.456 with 12 homers, 32 RBI, 29 runs scored and four steals across 245 plate appearances.

France went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.

France had Jacob deGrom's number, launching a grand slam in the first inning before adding a game-tying solo shot in the fourth. It was an unexpected effort from the 31-year-old, who entered the contest just 5-for-38 in June and without a homer since May 29. On the year, he's slashing .259/.306/.490 with eight long balls, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored and a stolen base across 158 plate appearances.

Vasquez (6-5) took the loss against the Rangers on Friday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and three walks with one strikeout over 3.1 innings.

Vasquez was spotted a five-run lead in the top of the first inning but allowed six runs of his own in the bottom half of the frame. It marked the shortest outing of the season for the 27-year-old, and he's now yielded four earned runs or more in three of his past five outings. He owns a 4.17 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 59:25 K:BB across 77.2 innings this season and faces a tough home test against Atlanta next week.

Soroka was removed from Friday's game against the Twins with posterior left hip discomfort.

Soroka gave up two hits in a scoreless first inning Friday but felt something while warming up for the second and was taken out of the game. It's unclear whether his injury will prevent him from making his next start, but the D-backs should provide an update on his status in the near future.

Pratt went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 loss to Atlanta.

Pratt led off the seventh inning with a single before stealing second base. Unfortunately for Pratt's fantasy managers, the Brewers decided to pinch hit for the rookie with the bases loaded in the eighth inning, turning to lefty Sal Frelick. Through four major-league contests, Pratt has gone 4-for-12 with two RBI, one run scored, two steals and a 1:4 BB:K while starting each game at shortstop.

Perez (6-3) earned the win against the Brewers on Friday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

Perez allowed a run in the third inning but was otherwise strong, throwing 53 of 82 pitches for strikes and generating 10 whiffs. It marked just the second quality start of the year for the veteran southpaw, though he has now won four straight while allowing three earned runs or fewer in five consecutive outings. He'll take a 2.78 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 56:23 K:BB across 68 innings into a road matchup against the Padres next week.

Misiorowski (8-3) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Misiorowski opened with five scoreless frames before running into trouble in the sixth, loading the bases and eventually allowing two runs on a two-out single. While it marked the first time since April 25 that he surrendered more than one earned run in an outing, the 24-year-old still extended his quality-start streak to eight games. He'll carry a 1.45 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 138:23 K:BB across 93 innings this season into a home matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Iglesias earned the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Brewers, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with one strikeout in the ninth inning.

Iglesias was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth but ran into trouble, allowing an RBI single to Brice Turang that could have been more damaging had Jackson Chourio not been thrown out at home. Iglesias then rebounded with a three-pitch strikeout to remain a perfect 15-for-15 in save chances this season. Despite allowing a run in two of his past three outings, the 36-year-old owns a stellar 1.48 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB across 24.1 innings.
