Julien will bat eighth and play first base Friday against Detroit.

Julien wasn't part of the initial starting lineup, but Alan Roden has been scratched, opening up a spot for Julien. Since being recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Aug. 1, Julien is slashing .200/.259/.360 with a 29.6 percent K rate.

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.

Farmer went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Farmer got the Rockies on the board in the fifth inning. He's picked up a bit of playing time around the infield lately, but he's far from being a regular in the lineup. The veteran infielder is now at a .227/.280/.360 slash line with six homers, 25 RBI, 20 runs scored, 14 doubles and no stolen bases across 261 plate appearances this season. Farmer has gone 7-for-20 (.350) in August.

Keaschall went 1-for-5 with one RBI and one stolen base in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

Keaschall had four multi-hit efforts in five games after returning from a fractured forearm Aug. 5, but he's since slowed down. He has gone just 2-for-17 over his last four contests, and his steal Thursday was his first since before the injury. Overall, the top prospect has been fairly steady over a small sample, batting .328 with two home runs, six steals, 14 RBI, seven runs scored and six doubles across 16 games this season. He should continue to play on a near-everyday basis, primarily at second base.

Julien went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

Julien has gone just 5-for-25 (.200) with a 2:8 BB:K over 10 games since rejoining the big-league roster following the trade deadline. This was his first multi-hit effort in that span, which has seen him fill a part-time role. He's seeing most of his time at first base but is sharing the position with Kody Clemens and Mickey Gasper. Julien will need to show more consistency to claim a larger share of playing time. On the year, he has a poor .198/.282/.328 slash line with three homers, nine RBI, nine runs scored and no stolen bases over 131 plate appearances.
