Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall said Friday that Greene has been diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his right elbow and will undergo surgery next week, Brian Giesenschlag of Reds Live reports.

The exact nature of the procedure will not be known until the operation is performed. Greene previously had Tommy John surgery in 2019 and underwent surgery in March to have bone chips removed from his elbow. Even if Greene doesn't require another full Tommy John repair, he will be in danger of missing a large portion of the 2027 season. The 27-year-old made only five starts this year after being limited to 19 starts in 2025.

Sanoja is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Angels.

Sanoja will exit the lineup after starting each of the last six games. Leo Jimenez will hold down third base as the Marlins open up a homestand Friday.

Hernandez is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Angels.

Hernandez has hit a rough patch of late, going 2-for-22 across his last six contests. He will yield to Esteury Ruiz in left field in Friday's series opener.

Alvarez is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Pittsburgh.

He'll receive some rest after starting each of the last four contests. Luis Torrens is catching and batting ninth for the Mets in Alvarez's stead.

Robert is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Pittsburgh.

Robert has now been out of the lineup three of the last four times the Mets have faced a right-handed pitcher. A.J. Ewing will be in center field and will be flanked by Carson Benge in left and Brett Baty in right as the Mets take on Pirates righty Carmen Mlodzinski.

Jordan is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rockies.

After starting four of the previous five games, Jordan will begin Friday's festivities on the bench. The Cardinals will roll out Cesar Prieto at third base as they kick off a six-game homestand.

Walker (knee) will start in right field and bat second in Friday's game versus the Rockies.

Walker missed the last two games and got an additional day of rest Thursday when the Cardinals were idle, which was enough to get him over the hump with his right knee inflammation. The 24-year-old has tallied three straight multi-hit games, but he's still looking for his first home run of the second half.

Rodriguez is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

Rodriguez had made five consecutive starts (three at catcher, one at first base, one at designated hitter), but he'll begin Friday's series opener on the bench. Rafael Flores is behind the plate for the Pirates.

Ruiz is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Reds.

It looks to be a routine day of rest for Ruiz, who had started five of the past six games behind the plate. Harry Ford will do the catching for the Nationals in Friday's series opener.

Vivas is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Reds.

The lefty-swinging Vivas started at third base each of the last three times the Nationals faced a right-hander, but he'll begin this one on the bench as righty Chase Petty starts a bullpen game for Cincinnati. Brady House will be at the hot corner and bat third.
