Meyers was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game versus the Angels due to right calf soreness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Meyers missed nearly two months earlier in the season due to right calf problems, and he appears to have aggravated the injury prior to Friday's contest. While he takes a day to recover, Zach Cole will shift to center field, and Cam Smith will start in right for the Astros.

Beavers was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees with right shin discomfort, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Beavers fouled a ball off his lower leg during his at-bat in the fourth inning and was replaced on defense once the O's took the field in the bottom of the frame. The severity of the outfielder's injury isn't immediately clear, but with just two games remaining in the regular season, it's possible the team could keep Beavers on the bench to close out the year as a precaution.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Muncy has been dealing with a lower-body injury over the past couple of days, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The skipper noted that Muncy's injury has been affecting his swing, which explains why the slugging third baseman is set to miss a second consecutive start Friday. It remains unknown whether he'll make it back to the starting nine before the end of the regular season, but Muncy doesn't seem to be at risk of missing the start of Los Angeles' postseason run.

Canzone is starting in right field and batting seventh against the Dodgers on Friday.

Canzone will enter the Mariners' starting nine after Victor Robles (undisclosed) was scratched from the lineup. Canzone has gone 7-for-19 (.368) with one home run, three RBI and four runs scored over his last six games.

Robles (undisclosed) was scratched from the Mariners' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.

The reason for Robles' removal from the lineup has yet to be announced, but Dominic Canzone will start in right field and bat seventh. Robles entered Friday's game having gone 11-for-49 (.224) with two steals, eight runs, one homer and four RBI in the 18 games since returning from his seven-game suspension Sept. 6.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Stewart will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Stewart has been attempting to work his way back from shoulder inflammation since mid-August, but he'll now opt to go under the knife to address the issue and miss the postseason. It's currently unclear whether the 33-year-old reliever will be able to pitch by the start of spring training next year, but a recovery timeline may emerge following his procedure.

Baty was removed in the second inning of Friday's game against the Marlins due to a side injury, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Baty came up with the injury during his plate appearance in the top of the first inning and appeared to aggravate it on a throw to third base in the bottom of the frame. Ronny Mauricio has entered the game at third base.

The Rangers recalled Curvelo from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Curvelo was demoted to Triple-A earlier this month after giving up three runs (two earned) to the Mets without recording an out, but he'll return to the Rangers now that the big club will have to finish the season without Chris Martin (undisclosed) and Cole Winn (undisclosed). Curvelo owns a 5.50 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 18 MLB innings this year and will likely be limited to middle relief.

The Rangers recalled Corniell from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Corniell will join the big-league squad for the first time in his career Friday to help replenish the Rangers' bullpen depth following the placement of Chris Martin (undisclosed) and Cole Winn (undisclosed) on the IL. Corniell has split time between Double-A and Triple-A this season, posting a 1.67 ERA and 0.71 WHIP across 32.1 innings between the two levels.

The Rangers transferred Eovaldi to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Eovaldi suffered a season-ending rotator cuff strain in late August, so Friday's move is procedural. It opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Donovan Solano.
