Rendon went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI, a walk and a run scored Friday against the Marlins.

Rendon plated a run in the first inning on a single to center, and he won the game in the bottom of the ninth with a single to left field. The 29-year-old continues to put together a strong 2019 campaign, slashing .333/.412/.619 with 29 home runs and 107 RBI over 119 games.

Bregman went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's win over the Blue Jays.

Bregman tacked on an insurance run in the eighth inning with an RBI infield single. He's pieced together an impressive eight-game hitting streak, registering six extra-base hits and nine RBI over that stretch.

Muncy (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.

Muncy was diagnosed with a small fracture in his right wrist after undergoing an MRI, and he'll miss the next week or more as a result. Kris Negron (neck) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Muncy has a small fracture in his right wrist, but he expects to be back in a week or two, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy was initially diagnosed with a contusion, but an MRI showed there was more damage than first thought. He'll require a trip to the injured list as a result.

Muncy (wrist) isn't starting Friday's game against Arizona, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

X-rays on his wrist came back negative, but Muncy remains out of the lineup for now. He's set to undergo further testing, after which a timetable for his return should become clearer.

Urshela (groin) doesn't expect to miss more than the minimum 10 days on the injured list, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

An MRI revealed both inflammation and a strain in Urshela's groin Friday, leading to him being placed on the injured list. He appears to be in line to return when eligible a week from Sunday, though it's worth noting that the timeline came from Urshela himself and not the team.

Chapman (head) returned to the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

Chapman didn't start Thursday's game after getting hit in the head Wednesday, though he did appear off the bench. He'll bat second and play third base for Friday's contest.

Urshela was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left groin strain, retroactive to Aug. 29.

Urshela was removed from Wednesday's game with left groin tightness and believed he'd be able to rejoin the lineup Friday, but he'll instead make his way to the injured list. The 27-year-old was enjoying an extremely productive August with a 1.076 OPS, eight doubles, seven home runs and 18 RBI in 26 games. It's unclear how long Urshela is expected to be sidelined.

Moustakas (wrist) remains sidelined Friday against the Cubs.

Moustakas hasn't played since taking a grounder off his wrist Monday. His absence Friday comes as little surprise, as manager Craig Counsell indicated Thursday that he was likely still a few days away from returning to action. Hernan Perez starts at the hot corner in his absence.

Muncy's wrist X-rays showed no fracture, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy previously underwent a fluoroscopy that also revealed no fracture. Although Muncy indicated after the game that he will undergo additional tests Friday, his injury is currently being diagnosed as a contusion, which bodes well for his chances to avoid a stint on the injured list. The 29-year-old exited Wednesday's game after being hit by a fastball on his right wrist.
