The Phillies selected Henry's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

With Rafael Marchan hitting the 10-day injured list, Philadelphia selected Henry's contract to add catching depth. The 29-year-old has spent time with both the Yankees' and Phillies' Triple-A affiliates this season, slashing .201/.285/.291 with four homers and 14 RBI in 200 plate appearances. In order to add Henry to the 40-man roster, Philadelphia transferred Brad Keller to the 60-day IL.

The Phillies placed Marchan (knee) on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 23.

After Marchan left Wednesday's game early against the Dodgers with left knee pain, Philadelphia officially transferred him to the IL on Friday. In 92 plate appearances, the 27-year-old has slashed .102/.141/.170 with just two homers and six RBI this season. The Phillies selected Payton Henry's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill Marchan's spot on the active roster.

The Cubs recalled Triantos from Triple-A Iowa on Friday.

He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by Kevin Alcantara, who was optioned to Iowa. Triantos has slashed .306/.344/.440 with seven home runs, 18 stolen bases and a 20:44 BB:K this season and will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game. The 23-year-old's versatility gives him multiple avenues to playing time, but everyday reps are unlikely.

Frelick was given a cortisone shot in his injured right shoulder Wednesday, Dominic Cotroneo of 620 WTMJ reports.

Frelick also had imaging this week, which did not reveal any new injury beyond a shoulder strain. After a period of rest, the outfielder will do strengthening exercises for his shoulder and rotator cuff. There is no timetable for his return, as the Brewers will wait for Frelick's symptoms to subside before he ramps up baseball activities. Andrew Vaughn has been the biggest playing-time beneficiary from Frelick's absence, drawing regular starts at first base while Jake Bauers plays right field, but it's Luis Lara who is getting the start in right field Friday against the Rockies.

Rodriguez (glute) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Aiden Stepansky of MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez has been sidelined for two-plus weeks with a left glute strain, but he has been cleared to test things out in game action. Because his absence has been brief, the 26-year-old shouldn't need many rehab at-bats before rejoining the active roster. Once reinstated, Rodriguez is likely to share catching duties with Henry Davis.

Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Arizona's matchup against the Nationals on Friday.

After going 0-for-3 with a strikeout against the Cardinals on Thursday, Waldschmidt will get a day off for the second time in the last four games. Tim Tawa will take over in center field and bat ninth for Arizona.

Vaughn is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rockies.

Vaughn has been getting increased reps with Sal Frelick (shoulder) on the shelf, having started each of the previous four games, but he will begin Friday's tilt on the bench. Jake Bauers will play first base, and Luis Lara will patrol right field for the Brewers.

Pratt is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

After starting all three games versus the Mets earlier this week, Pratt will receive a day of rest in Friday's series opener. Joey Ortiz will slide over to shortstop, and David Hamilton will occupy third base in his first game back from the injured list.

The Brewers reinstated Hamilton (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

Before being placed on the injured list July 7, the 28-year-old had slashed .240/.317/.333 with three homers and 15 RBI in 237 plate appearances. Milwaukee designated Braden Shewmake for assignment to make room for Hamilton on the active roster.

Gusto will start Friday's game versus the Padres, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

He's filling in for the injured Max Meyer (neck). Gusto made a two-inning relief appearance Tuesday in Houston and hasn't been stretched out for a typical starter's workload since mid-June, so the Marlins will likely need to utilize their bullpen heavily in Friday's series opener.
