  • Tom Cosgrove RP | WAS

    Padres' Tom Cosgrove: Hitting IL with elbow inflammation

    Cosgrove was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday due to left elbow inflammation, retroactive to Thursday.

    The Padres recalled Cosgrove from Triple-A on June 21, and he appeared in three games with San Diego. His most recent outing came Wednesday, when he yielded four runs and retired only one batter before being pulled. Austin Davis will take Cosgrove's place on the active roster.

  • Padres' David Peralta: Sitting versus righty

    Peralta is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

    It's the fourth straight game on the bench for Peralta, though Friday's contest is the first of those to come against a right-handed starter (Nick Pivetta). Donovan Solano has been operating as San Diego's primary designated hitter, and it appears Peralta has been relegated to a bench role while stuck in a 3-for-23 (.130) slump. Bryce Johnson will make his fourth straight start in right field Friday.

  • Joe Musgrove SP | SD

    Padres' Joe Musgrove: Moved to 60-day IL

    Musgrove (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Transferring Musgrove to the 60-day IL opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Austin Davis, who'll join the big-league roster. Though Musgrove began playing catch Monday, he still has plenty of checkpoints to hit before being cleared and likely won't be back in action until after the All-Star break.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Held out again Friday

    Candelario (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.

    It's the third straight day on the bench for Candelario, who has been dealing with hamstring tendinitis since last week. There are no indications to this point that he might require a trip to the 10-day injured list, but the Reds will be forced to consider a move if he remains sidelined much longer. Noelvi Marte and Spencer Steer are again handling the infield corners for the Reds on Friday.

  • Jake Fraley RF | TB

    Reds' Jake Fraley: Remaining out of lineup

    Fraley (calf) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

    With no MRI results reported yet on Fraley's calf contusion, he'll remain out of the lineup as Cincinnati opens up a series against St. Louis. Santiago Espinal will again start at designated hitter and bat sixth.

  • Peyton Burdick RF | CIN

    Reds' Peyton Burdick: Departs 40-man roster

    The Reds designated Burdick for assignment Friday.

    Burdick was claimed off waivers by Cincinnati on April 24 but was never called up to the big-league roster. He slashed .180/.279/.327 across 172 plate appearances with Triple-A Louisville and will likely remain in the Reds' organization if he clears waivers. Austin Wynns will take Burdick's spot on the 40-man roster.

  • Austin Wynns C | TEX

    Reds' Austin Wynns: Rejoining Cincinnati

    The Reds selected Wynns' contract from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

    The 33-year-old will rejoin the Reds with starting catcher Tyler Stephenson being placed on the paternity list. Wynns is slashing .250/.309/.410 with 16 RBI this season in Louisville.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Placed on paternity list

    Stephenson was placed on the paternity list Friday.

    Stephenson was scratched from Thursday's game and then stepped away from the team to be present for the birth of his child. By rule, he can miss up to two additional games.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Getting day off

    Winn is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Winn will step out of the starting nine for the first time since June 18, giving way to Brandon Crawford at shortstop Friday. Since the start of June, Winn is batting 25-for-97 (.258) with two homers and 16 runs.

  • Devin Williams RP | NYM

    Brewers' Devin Williams: Another bullpen coming

    Williams (back) threw 20 pitches during a bullpen session Wednesday and is scheduled for another 20-pitch session over the weekend, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Williams utilized his full arsenal during Wednesday's session and is on track to throw off a mound again this weekend. Additionally, Williams is scheduled to progress to live batting practice July 9. He's on track to be back with the Brewers after the All-Star break.
