Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Edman is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners due to ankle soreness, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Edman appeared to tweak his ankle on a diving catch attempt during Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, which prompted him to sit out Thursday's contest. Roberts relayed that Edman's ankle is "a little sore," and with the Dodgers clinching the NL West in Thursday's win over Arizona, Edman will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game for rest purposes. Edman will be joined by Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench in Friday's series opener while Miguel Rojas starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

The Rangers selected Solano's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Solano inked a minor-league contract with Texas on Sept. 9 after being released by Seattle on Sept. 1. The veteran infielder will provide the Rangers with additional depth after Josh Smith was placed on the paternity list. Nathan Eovaldi was transferred to the 60-day injured list to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Solano.

The Rangers placed Winn on the 15-day injured list Friday with an undisclosed injury.

Winn will be joined on the injured list by Chris Martin (undisclosed), putting an early end to both pitchers' seasons. Winn was extremely effective for the big club this year, turning in a 1.51 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 41.2 innings. Jose Corniell and Luis Curvelo were recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in corresponding moves.

The Rangers placed Martin (undisclosed) on the 15-day injured list Friday.

It's unclear if Martin's move to the IL is related to the right hand injury he suffered Sept. 14, but the Rangers should provide some clarity in the near future. Either way, he'll remain sidelined for the rest of 2025 and finish the season with a 2.98 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 42.1 innings. With Cole Winn (undisclosed) also moving to the IL, Texas will promote Jose Corniell and Luis Curvelo from Triple-A to fill the open roster spots.

The Rangers placed Smith on the paternity list Friday.

Smith didn't travel with the team for the Rangers' final series of the regular season as he awaits the birth of his child. Friday's move opens up a spot on the active roster for Donovan Solano, who's been recalled from Triple-A Round Rock. Smith can remain on the paternity list through Sunday's regular-season finale.

Sanchez isn't in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Sanchez will take a day to reset Friday after going just 1-for-18 across his last seven contests. Mauricio Dubon will fill in as the Astros' left fielder and bat ninth.

Muncy is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

The lefty-hitting Muncy is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game, even with the Mariners sending right-hander George Kirby to the mound. That seems to be due in large part to the Dodgers clinching the NL West after Thursday's win against the Diamondbacks, as Muncy will be joined on the bench by Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and Tommy Edman in Friday's series opener. Enrique Hernandez will start at third base and bat eighth.

Pena (oblique) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Pena is working through a strained left oblique that has caused him pain while taking mild swings. It's unclear if the Astros are contemplating putting Pena on the injured list, but the shortstop has been out of the lineup for five consecutive games.

Edman is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

Edman will be out of the starting lineup for a second consecutive game, though that presumably has more to do with the Dodgers capturing the NL West following their 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. He'll join Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench while Miguel Rojas starts at second base and bats sixth.

Freeman is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

Freeman, Mookie Betts, Tommy Edman and Max Muncy will all rest Friday after the Dodgers clinched the NL West with an 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Dalton Rushing will draw the start at first base and bat seventh.
