Edman isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

Edman will move to the bench to begin Friday's contest after going 1-for-10 with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored during the Dodgers' last series against San Diego. Enrique Hernandez will fill in at second base and bat ninth.

The Dodgers optioned Freeland to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Freeland has appeared in just one of the Dodgers' last six games and will now be pushed off the active roster to make room for Dalton Rushing (elbow). Assuming he doesn't rejoin the big club during the team's final series, Freeland will close the book on 2026 with a .234/.327/.325 slash line alongside four homers, 21 RBI, 32 runs and four steals across 269 plate appearances.

Norby is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus the White Sox.

Norby has been a regular presence in the Rockies' lineup over the past month, but this marks the second straight game against a right-handed hurler that he's been on the bench. Adael Amador will cover second base and will bat second for Colorado.

Edwards (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game versus Atlanta.

It's the fifth straight absence for Edwards, who aggravated his left thumb injury last week. The Marlins have resisted putting Edwards back on the injured list, but it seems unlikely at this point that he'll return before the curtains close on the regular season. Jared Serna is getting another start at second base Friday in Edwards' stead.

Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said Friday that the diagnosis on Arraez's left ankle sprain was "not a great one," Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

X-rays on Arraez's ankle came back negative, but additional imaging confirmed a sprain. While Mattingly did not provide a grade on the sprain, he noted that the second baseman remains stiff and sore. The Phillies will hold off on placing Arraez on the 10-day injured list -- which would rule him out until at least Game 3 of the NLDS -- but could make a roster move if Arraez's condition doesn't improve in the coming days. Bryson Stott has shifted back to second base, and Edmundo Sosa is starting at third base for the Phillies on Friday versus the Rays.

McLain is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Toronto.

McLain had started each of the last nine tilts, but he will begin Friday's festivities on the bench. Juan Brito will handle second base for the Reds, and he'll be situated in the No. 7 slot in the batting order.

Nunez is not in the lineup for Friday's tilt versus the Mets.

Nunez set a new Nationals record with his 48th and 49th stolen bases in his team's last game Wednesday against the Tigers, but he will begin Friday's series opener on the bench. CJ Abrams will be at shortstop and Jorbit Vivas will handle second base for the Nationals.

Arraez (ankle) is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rays.

Arraez had to be helped off the field after suffering a left ankle sprain during Thursday's game versus the Brewers. He has not been placed on the injured list to this point, which is good news, but it remains unclear when Arraez might be able to play again. Bryson Stott will slide back over to second base Friday for the Phillies, and Edmundo Sosa will get the start at third base.

Arraez suffered a sprained left ankle during Thursday's contest against the Brewers, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Arraez suffered the injury while trying to avoid being tagged while attempting to beat out a ground ball in the bottom of the sixth inning. The team outlined that he will be further evaluated, and his status moving forward is currently up in the air. More information on his status will likely be provided following the conclusion of Thursday's game.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a strikeout during Thursday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.

Ramirez stole two bases during Thursday's win, his first bags swiped since Aug. 12 against the Nationals. The 22-year-old has recorded at least one base hit in five of his last six games. This year, Ramirez is slashing .261/.319/.406 with six homers, 32 RBI, nine stolen bases and 20 walks over 258 plate appearances.
