Yamamoto has been named the starter for Game 5 of the NLDS against the Padres on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Manager Dave Roberts had previously said that Yamamoto would pitch in some capacity, though it was unclear whether that would be as a starter or in a shorter stint. It appears that the Dodgers intend for him to work as a traditional starter in Friday's contest, though he's yet to pitch more than five innings in any of his five starts since returning from the injured list.

Rogers had his wrist and forearm wrapped following Thursday's loss to the Guardians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Rogers was pinch-hit for in the ninth inning, though that appeared to be for an offensive upgrade rather than due to injury. He's set to undergo X-rays, which could dictate his availability for a decisive Game 5 in the ALDS on Saturday.

Carpenter exited Thursday's game against the Guardians due to a left hamstring injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Carpenter reached base on a single in the sixth inning and came around to score, but he was spotted hobbling around third base. He was replaced by a pinch hitter for his next at-bat, though the severity of the injury is unclear.

Rojas (thigh) will not be in the lineup for Game 5 of the NLDS against the Padres on Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Rojas left Game 3 of the series after he aggravated an adductor injury and was held out of Game 4. Tommy Edman will shift to shortstop in his absence, leaving several potential options to cover center field.

Freeman (ankle) is expected to be back in the lineup for Game 5 of the NLDS against the Padres on Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Freeman was scratched from the Dodgers' Game 4 lineup with a lingering ankle issue, which he aggravated after leaping to make a defensive play in Game 3. He almost certainly won't be playing at full strength but should still provide an upgrade to the Dodgers' lineup.

Cortes (elbow) has continued to throw and was able to increase the intensity in Thursday's session, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Cortes maintains hope to pitch in the ALCS as the Yankees are a win away from advancing Thursday. The left-hander continues to make strides in his recovery from the flexor strain, but his availability for the rest of the playoffs remains up in the air.

Polanco underwent surgery Thursday to repair the patellar tendon in his left knee, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Polanco had a career-worst .651 OPS in 2024 while playing through the knee issue, and he's now getting the injury addressed. The second baseman is expected to be ready for spring training, but it remains to be seen which uniform he will be donning in 2025 as the Mariners weigh a $12 million club option or $750,000 buyout.

Cabrera is not in the lineup Thursday for Game 4 of the ALDS against the Royals.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone has alternated starts at first base in the ALDS, with Cabrera starting Games 1 and 3 and Jon Berti handling the position in Games 2 and 4. Cabrera is 1-for-5 with a double and three walks in the series.

Berti is starting at first base and batting ninth Thursday in Game 4 of the ALDS in Kansas City, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Berti received his first professional start at first base in Game 2 and will be back there in Game 4 as the Yankees try to close out the series. Oswaldo Cabrera -- who started Games 1 and 3 at first base -- will begin this contest on the bench.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Thursday that the team plans to give Frelick another look at third base next season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Frelick played third base often during spring training but moved back to the outfield when Garrett Mitchell fractured his hand shortly before Opening Day and played just four innings at third during the season. However, the club was pleased with how Frelick looked at the hot corner and like the option of using him there, even if it might not be on a regular basis.
