Schmitt is expected to be out of the lineup for at least a couple of games after he was diagnosed Friday with a right forearm contusion, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Schmitt was hit by a pitch during Friday's 7-6 loss to Tampa Bay and immediately left the contest. While he avoided structural damage to his forearm and won't require a stint on the injured list, the 26-year-old will likely remain on the bench for the remainder of the series. Tyler Fitzgerald could enter the starting nine at second base in his stead Saturday.

Schmitt was removed from Friday's game against the Rays after getting hit on the elbow by a pitch, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The extent of Schmitt's injury is currently unknown, though he wasn't able to finish his at-bat after getting plunked by a 93-mph fastball. The 26-year-old had been filling in at third base for the injured Matt Chapman (hand), though Tyler Fitzgerald may now be in line for an uptick in starts if Schmitt is forced to miss any amount of time.

Kennedy was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Friday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Kennedy will head to the West Coast after being DFA'd by the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Rather than report to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Kennedy will be on the Dodger's 26-man roster after Max Muncy (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Kennedy has spent most of the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .268/.372/.408 with three steals, eight home runs and 45 RBI in 336 plate appearances. Kennedy will likely serve in a depth role in the infield while Alex Freeland and Miguel Rojas get most of the work at third base in Muncy's absence.

Saggese will bat seventh and play second base Friday against the Yankees, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Saggese was thrust into the starting nine late Friday afternoon after Brendan Donovan was scratched with a foot injury. Saggese will look to extend his six-game hit streak.

Donovan was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Yankees due to a foot injury, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Donovan missed a few games earlier in the week due to groin soreness, which reportedly was a direct result of his injured foot. Manager Oliver Marmol said there's a chance the 28-year-old's foot ends up keeping him sidelined for multiple days, but he doesn't seem ticketed for the injured list at the moment.

The Rockies optioned Amador to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

With the activation of Ryan Ritter (finger) from the 10-day IL, Amador will head back to the minors. Amador has appeared in 41 games with Colorado this season, slashing .177/.256/.265 with one home run, 10 RBI, five runs scored, one stolen base and an 11:27 BB:K across 128 trips to the plate.

Edwards went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Guardians.

The switch hitter extended his hitting streak to nine games and produced his seventh multi-hit performance during the hot streak, and he's batting a blistering .452 (19-for-42) during that span. Edwards has been locked in since the beginning of July, slashing .345/.379/.479 over his last 39 contests with two homers, nine steals, 15 RBI and 29 runs as the Marlins' everyday leadoff hitter.

Albies went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Mets.

The second baseman got Atlanta on the board with a solo shot off Kodai Senga in the fourth inning, then won the game in the eighth with an RBI double to bring home Michael Harris. Albies ended a 23-game homer drought with the long ball, his 10th of the season, but he's been looking better at the plate of late -- over his last 16 contests, he's slashing .281/.324/.391 with two steals, seven runs and seven RBI.

Vargas (foot) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and is 0-for-6 with a walk over two games for the Aces.

Vargas played third base for seven innings Tuesday and followed up with a full game as the designated hitter Wednesday prior to getting Thursday off. With the Diamondbacks playing out the string, Vargas is not expected to have a significant role for the club over the final weeks of the regular season.

Lawlar started at third base and went 2-for-5 with a double for Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Lawlar, who was activated off the injured list Thursday, played all nine innings in the field. He's expected to eventually finish out the season with the Diamondbacks. When healthy in 2025, Lawlar bounced around the Aces' infield, playing second base, shortstop and third base. Given the parent club's existing opening at the hot corner following its trade of Eugenio Suarez, Lawlar is expected to see most of his time at third base in preparation for his next call-up.
