Rosario isn't starting Friday against the Tigers.

Rosario has recorded hits in six of the last seven games, and he hit .269 with a double, four runs, two RBI and two stolen bases during that time. Steven Kwan will shift to left field while Oscar Gonzalez starts in right.

Jones (elbow) underwent successful Tommy John surgery Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Jones was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list in mid-May due to right elbow inflammation, and he'll miss significant time following Friday's procedure. While position players don't usually require as much recovery time following Tommy John surgery, he'll require several months to recover, and it seems likely that he'll be sidelined for the remainder of the 2022 season.

Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored Thursday against the Nationals.

Rodgers extended his hitting streak to 13 games and has at least one hit in 18 of his 20 starts in May. In that span, he's also recorded two home runs, 17 RBI and 13 runs scored. After a very slow start, Rodgers' line has crept up to .242/.284/.348 across 141 plate appearances on the season.

Hernandez went 1-for-6 with a solo home run in Thursday's 16-7 win over the White Sox.

For the second time in the series against Chicago, Hernandez went deep as the first batter of the game. His on-base streak reached 13 games, during which he's gone 16-for-58 (.276) with a .338 on-base percentage and 11 runs scored. After a slow start which temporarily moved him down in the order, Hernandez is back to setting the table for Boston's powerful lineup, which leads the majors in average (.283), slugging (.477) and OPS (.825) during the month of May.

Urias went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 4-3 win over St. Louis on Thursday.

Urias got Milwaukee off to a quick start, slugging a solo shot off Adam Wainwright to get the scoring started in the first inning. The long ball was the infielder's fourth this month and second in his past five games. Urias is slashing .267/.371/.440 through 89 plate appearances on the season.

Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Reds.

Chicago fell 20-5, so Hoerner's third home run of the season was of little consequence. It's still good to see the shortstop go deep in his second game back from the injured list after missing two weeks with a right ankle sprain. The 25-year-old is expected to be the primary shortstop moving forward for the 18-26 Cubs, with the veteran Andrelton Simmons working in more of a reserve role.

Garcia (wrist) is starting Thursday's game at Triple-A Rochester.

Garcia hyperextended his left arm during a collision at first base Tuesday, but he'll be back in action after missing just one game. The 22-year-old is slashing .331/.387/.576 with eight homers, 35 runs, 27 RBI and a stolen base in Rochester this year and will likely be in consideration for a call-up soon.

Capra was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

Capra joined the Blue Jays' active roster in late April, but he appeared in just eight games during his time in the majors and went 1-for-5 with two runs, two walks and a strikeout. He should see more consistent playing time in the minors, while Cavan Biggio was recalled by Toronto on Thursday.

Biggio was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

Biggio missed several weeks in late April and early May while on the COVID-19 injured list, and he was sent to the minors after clearing the league's health and safety protocols. The 27-year-old has played in 10 games at Buffalo, and he's hit .276 with three doubles, nine runs, three RBI and two stolen bases. Biggio will be available for Thursday's series opener against the Angels, but it seems as though he'll serve mainly in a depth role since Santiago Espinal has performed well as the primary second baseman.

Kemp is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Kemp has a .303 average over his past nine games and will take a seat Thursday with southpaw Martin Perez on the mound for Texas. Sheldon Neuse will shift to the keystone while Christian Bethancourt starts at first base.
