White (shoulder) isn't in Friday's lineup against the Angels.

White was removed from the first game of Thursday's doubleheader due to right shoulder discomfort, and he'll remain on the bench Friday. Jose Marmolejos will take over at first base.

Naylor is not in the lineup Friday against the Rockies.

Naylor doesn't have a hit since Aug. 19 and will stick on the bench Friday with southpaw Kyle Freeland on the mound for Colorado. Ty France will bat seventh as the designated hitter.

Calhoun is not in Friday's lineup against the Giants.

Tim Locastro will get the nod in right field while batting leadoff against lefty Tyler Anderson. Calhoun has cooled off a little, hitting .194 over his last 10 games, but he also has a .375 OBP and a pair of home runs over that stretch.

Cooper was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday and is batting fourth as the designated hitter against the Rays, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

The 29-year-old was one of the many Miami players to test positive for COVID-19 just after Opening Day, and he'll officially rejoin the team a month later. Cooper should have a regular role in the lineup after posting a .790 OPS last year, but it's unclear where he'll see most of his time given the team has been working with a makeshift roster for so long. Lewin Diaz and Jesus Aguilar play most days between first base and designated hitter, and Cooper could join that mix in addition to some corner outfield opportunities.

Votto is not in Friday's lineup against the Cubs.

He has not played since Tuesday and is hitless in his last 18 at-bats. Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Thursday that manager David Bell says Votto is fine physically, but it seems that something is off with the veteran first baseman. Mike Moustakas is starting at first base and batting fifth.

Votto is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Votto was expected to be back in the lineup after sitting the front end of the twin bill, but instead he will get the entire day off. Manager David Bell confirmed after the game that Votto is physically fine and that he just wanted to give him a couple of days off, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. The veteran first baseman seems likely to be back in the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Cubs.

Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with two singles and a run scored as the Padres defeated the Mariners 10-7 in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader.

Cronenworth has now hit safely in 10 consecutive games, going 15-for-38 over that span. The second baseman has his batting average up to an impressive .349 on the campaign.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mariners.

Naylor went 1-for-1 before giving way to Jurickson Profar in the fifth inning of Game 1. Profar will remain in the starting lineup in place of Naylor in Game 2.

White (shoulder) isn't in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Padres.

White left the first game of the twin bill with right shoulder discomfort, and he'll be on the bench for Game 2. Jose Marmolejos will start at first base in his stead.

White left Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader with right shoulder discomfort, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.

White was removed from the game in the bottom of the third inning after appearing to suffer the injury during an at-bat earlier in the contest. The severity of the injury isn't clear, and it's not yet known when he could return to the field.
