    Reds' Nick Senzel: Departs with headache

    Senzel exited Friday's game against the Brewers due to a headache, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

    Senzel was pulled from the contest in the fourth inning, and it was later revealed that he left with a headache. The Reds are likely exercising caution with the young center fielder, who's dealt with vertigo in the past.

  • Indians' Andruw Monasterio: Returns from IL

    Monasterio (oblique) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday, Tribeinsider reports.

    Monasterio slashed .333/.381/. 368 with an RBI over 15 games with Double-A Akron prior to suffering an oblique injury, but he's been cleared to return to action.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Retreats to bench

    Longoria will head to the bench for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Longoria is in line for a breather after starting five straight games at the hot corner. Pablo Sandoval draws the nod at third base and will bat third with Longoria on the bench.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Back in starting nine

    Muncy (ankle) is starting at second base and batting fifth Friday night against the Rockies, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Muncy has been nursing a bruised ankle, but it's evidently not serious enough to cause an extended absence. He's currently in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak, going 10-for-28 with four homers and eight RBI over that stretch.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Back in starting nine

    Arenado (toe) is starting at third base and batting third Friday against the Dodgers.

    Arenado was forced to leave Thursday's matchup with a bruised left big toe, but it won't cause him to miss any additional time. He's batting .308 with a home run and three RBI over his last seven contests.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Resting Friday

    LeMahieu is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

    LeMahieu started the last 24 games for the Yankees but receives the day off while slugger Aaron Judge (oblique) makes his return from the injured list. Gleyber Torres and Gio Urshela will start at second and third base Friday, respectively.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Remains sidelined Friday

    Devers (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Devers exited Wednesday's game with right hamstring tightness but will require at least one more day of rest following Thursday's scheduled off day. The 22-year-old has indicated the present injury isn't nearly as severe as the left hamstring issues he faced last season, but he'll nonetheless miss at least one game. Eduardo Nunez will start at the hot corner and bat eighth in the series opener.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Braves' Josh Donaldson: Wins suspension appeal

    Donaldson won his appeal and will not be suspended for his part in a benches-clearing brawl against the Pirates back on June 10, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Donaldson had been suspended for one game for his part in the altercation but will now not miss any time. He also saw his fine reduced to $1,000.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Slugs game-winning blast

    Chapman went 2-for-4 with a game-winning three-run home run and a walk in a victory over the Rays on Thursday.

    Chapman played the hero Thursday, squaring up on a Diego Castillo offering and launching it 423 feet to left center with Jurickson Profar and Marcus Semien aboard and the Athletics down to their last out. The hard-hitting third baseman's clutch homer was yet another success story in his current heater at the plate, one that's now seen him hit safely in seven consecutive games and raise his season average 15 points to .264 in the process. Moreover, the round tripper was also Chapman's first since June 2, a span of 15 games.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Dealing with bruised ankle

    Muncy was diagnosed with a bruised ankle after X-rays came back negative Thursday, Pedro Moura of The Athletic reports.

    Muncy fouled a ball off his ankle during the sixth inning Thursday and exited the game a couple frames later. The 28-year-old appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day.
