  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Nursing ankle injury

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Edman is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners due to ankle soreness, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Edman appeared to tweak his ankle on a diving catch attempt during Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, which prompted him to sit out Thursday's contest. Roberts relayed that Edman's ankle is "a little sore," and with the Dodgers clinching the NL West in Thursday's win over Arizona, Edman will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game for rest purposes. Edman will be joined by Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench in Friday's series opener while Miguel Rojas starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Sitting again Friday

    Edman is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

    Edman will be out of the starting lineup for a second consecutive game, though that presumably has more to do with the Dodgers capturing the NL West following their 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. He'll join Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench while Miguel Rojas starts at second base and bats sixth.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: On bench Friday

    Massey is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

    Massey will start Friday's game on the bench even as the Royals go up against a right-hander (Mason Barnett). Jonathan India will step in at second base and bat seventh.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Back in lineup

    Holliday (knee) will lead off and play second base Friday against the Yankees, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Holliday was held out of the starting lineup in back-to-back games due to knee soreness, but he'll return to his regular spot at second base Friday. The standout 21-year-old underwent an MRI on Thursday, which confirmed he isn't dealing with any structural damage. Holliday has one hit and nine strikeouts in his last 28 at-bats.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Day off versus lefty

    Chisholm is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

    The left-handed-hitting Chisholm will get a breather as the Orioles send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the hill. Jose Caballero will get the start at second base and bat ninth for the Yankees.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Moved to 60-day IL

    Atlanta transferred Albies (hand) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Albies was placed on the injured list Tuesday with a fractured left hamate. Friday's move is purely transactional, opening up a spot on the 40-man roster for Alek Manoah, who was claimed off waivers from Toronto. Albies is expected to be fully healthy in time for training camp.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Likely done for season

    Donovan is expected to play only in an emergency during the Cardinals' final series of the season against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports

    Donovan is banged up, tending to general soreness and a groin injury. Now that the Cardinals are eliminated from the postseason, the club has no incentive to put him on the lineup card over the final few games. While Donovan is idle, look for Nolan Gorman or Jose Fermin to handle second base duties. Donovan will likely end the season with a .287/.353/.422 slash line, 10 home runs, 50 RBI and 64 runs in 515 plate appearances.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Idle Friday

    Donovan is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

    Donovan has been battling general soreness and a minor groin injury this week, and he'll get the day off Friday to rest. In his place, Nolan Gorman will bat fifth and play second base.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Records second steal

    Massey went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Angels.

    Massey hadn't been in the lineup since Saturday, with two of his three games out of the lineup coming against left-handed pitchers. The lefty-hitting second baseman has two multi-hit efforts over his last three games but looks set to end the year in a timeshare as the Royals also try to keep Adam Frazier and Jonathan India involved at the keystone. Massey has posted an uninspiring .233/.258/.300 slash line with three home runs, two steals, 19 RBI and 17 runs scored over 268 plate appearances this season.

  • Leonardo Rivas 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Scratched from Thursday's lineup

    Rivas was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Rockies for an undisclosed reason.

    Rivas was originally slated to start at second base while hitting ninth. It's unclear why he was removed from the lineup, but Jorge Polanco will take over at second base with Mitch Garver entering the lineup to serve as the catcher.
