Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Placed on 15-day injured list
The Rockies placed Feltner on the 15-day injured list Friday with right ulnar nerve inflammation.
Feltner was removed from his start against the Padres on Thursday due to what was called right triceps tightness at the time, but upon a more thorough exam, it turns out he has a nerve issue in his pitching elbow. The Rockies have not revealed a timetable for the righty's return, but it's an injury that could result in an extended absence.

Braves' Ian Hamilton: Sent outright to Triple-A
Atlanta outrighted Hamilton to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Hamilton was removed from the 40-man roster after giving up three runs in his lone appearance in the majors. Since he's been outrighted previously, Hamilton has the ability to decline the assignment and become a free agent, but it's unclear what his plans are.

Cardinals' Victor Scott: Not in Friday's lineup
Scott is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Mariners.
Scott has been in an extended slump at the plate, as he's hitless across his last seven games and is just 5-for-45 at the dish since the calendar flipped to April. Nathan Church will slide over to start in center field, while Jose Fermin gets the call in left field for the Cardinals.

Michael Harris II CF | ATL
Braves' Michael Harris: Back in lineup Friday
Harris (quadriceps) will start in center field and bat fifth in Friday's game versus the Phillies.
Harris had to be lifted from Thursday's contest against the Nationals due to left quad tightness, but he checked out fine and will not have to miss a game. The five spot in the lineup is the highest this season for Harris, who is slashing .447/.488/.895 with five home runs over his last 11 games.
