  • Jim Jarvis SS | ATL

    Braves' Jim Jarvis: Sitting out Friday

    Jarvis is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Yankees.

    It's left-hander Max Fried on the bump for the Yankees, so the left-handed-hitting Jarvis will begin the festivities on the bench. Ha-Seong Kim will patrol shortstop in the series opener.

  • Braves' Michael Harris: Rare day off Friday

    Harris is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    It's the first time since June 19 that Harris has been out of the Atlanta lineup. Mauricio Dubon will grab a start in center field as Atlanta takes on southpaw Max Fried in the Bronx.

  • Rangers' Jordan Montgomery: Activated from 60-day IL

    The Rangers activated Montgomery (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Montgomery hasn't pitched in the big leagues in nearly 23 months after undergoing UCL surgery in March of 2025. The left-hander worked as a starter on his rehab assignment, but it's unclear what the Rangers' plans are with Montgomery. He could work in long relief, at least initially. Across eight rehab starts, Montgomery logged a 3.75 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB spanning 24 innings.

  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Slated for another elbow surgery

    Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall said Friday that Greene has been diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his right elbow and will undergo surgery next week, Brian Giesenschlag of Reds Live reports.

    The exact nature of the procedure will not be known until the operation is performed. Greene previously had Tommy John surgery in 2019 and underwent surgery in March to have bone chips removed from his elbow. Even if Greene doesn't require another full Tommy John repair, he will be in danger of missing a large portion of the 2027 season. The 27-year-old made only five starts this year after being limited to 19 starts in 2025.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Sitting against lefty Friday

    Bazzana is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

    With left-hander Noah Schultz on the mound for Chicago, Bazzana will get the night off. Angel Genao is making the start at second base and batting ninth for Cleveland. Bazzana is batting .188 with a .537 OPS against left-handed pitching as a rookie, and with the Guardians' additions in the past week, it appears he could be getting fewer at-bats against southpaws down the stretch.

  • Aaron Bummer RP | KC

    Aaron Bummer: Elects free agency

    The Royals optioned Bummer to Triple-A Omaha on Friday, and Bummer elected to become a free agent.

    The veteran left-hander had his contract selected last weekend, and he pitched in two games out of the bullpen for Kansas City. Bummer faced 11 batters but recorded just four outs, allowing six runs on six hits and one walk with no strikeouts. He'll try to find work elsewhere rather than heading to Omaha.

  • Mason Black RP | KC

    Royals' Mason Black: Back with big club

    The Royals recalled Black from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

    Black will take the 26-man roster spot of Aaron Bummer, who has elected free agency in lieu of heading to Triple-A. Black has pitched in 12 games out of the bullpen for Kansas City this season, posting a 3.57 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 15:11 K:BB across 17.2 frames.

  • Javier Sanoja 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Out of Miami lineup

    Sanoja is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Angels.

    Sanoja will exit the lineup after starting each of the last six games. Leo Jimenez will hold down third base as the Marlins open up a homestand Friday.

  • Marlins' Heriberto Hernandez: Taking seat Friday

    Hernandez is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Angels.

    Hernandez has hit a rough patch of late, going 2-for-22 across his last six contests. He will yield to Esteury Ruiz in left field in Friday's series opener.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Exiting starting nine

    Alvarez is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Pittsburgh.

    He'll receive some rest after starting each of the last four contests. Luis Torrens is catching and batting ninth for the Mets in Alvarez's stead.
