McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Cubs.

McMahon took Marcus Stroman deep in the sixth inning to tally his 17th homer of the season. He's gone yard four times in his last six games, three of which came at Coors Field. However, McMahon has still had a disappointing season by maintaining only a 96 wRC+ and .328 wOBA across 530 plate appearances.

Suarez underwent an X-ray on his right index finger that was inconclusive following Friday's game against the Angels, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Suarez sustained his injury while fielding a ground ball in the fourth inning and initially remained in the game, but he was ultimately removed in the fifth. The 31-year-old will likely undergo additional testing Saturday before the Mariners determine his status.

Segura went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's loss against Atlanta.

Segura hit a solo shot in the fifth inning to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead before Atlanta would come back to win in the eighth inning. It was Segura's 10th homer of the season and his second this month. The second baseman has been on fire this month, going 13-for-43 (.302), including two multi-hit games. He has gone hitless in just three of 12 games this month. On the season, Segura is slashing .286/.343/.418.

Suarez was removed from Friday's game against the Angels with an apparent right wrist injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Suarez popped out during the fifth inning and clutched at his wrist as he ran to first base, and he didn't take the field for the bottom of the frame. The specifics of the issue remain unclear, and the 31-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information becomes available.

Longoria is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria has a .445 OPS and 35.1 percent strikeout rate through 11 games in September and will take a seat Friday for the second consecutive contest. David Villar will shift to the hot corner while Wilmer Flores starts at first base.

Sosa (hamstring) is expected to spend more than the minimum 10 days on the injured list, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Sosa left Thursday's game against the Marlins with a right hamstring strain and was placed on the injured list the next day. There are only 20 days left in the regular season, so Sosa will miss at least half the remainder of the campaign, and potentially the entire rest of the year. Yairo Munoz was called up to fill his utility role.

LeMahieu (toe) took some swings in the cage and tracked pitches on the field Friday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

LeMahieu is already eligible to return from the injured list, but it looks as though he has a few more steps in his recovery to complete before being activated. That lines up with reports from last weekend, which indicated that LeMahieu was targeting a return sometime during the team's upcoming homestand that begins Tuesday.

Newman (undisclosed) remains on the bench Friday against the Mets.

Newman left Wednesday's game against the Reds with an apparent injury after crashing into the wall while chasing a foul ball. He didn't take part in Thursday's contest and won't be involved from the start Friday, either. He hasn't been an everyday player, so there's no guarantee he's nursing an injury, but his consecutive absences make that likely.

Maton isn't starting Friday against Atlanta.

Maton will get a day off Friday after going 3-for-11 with two homers over his last five games. Matt Vierling will take over in right field and bat seventh.

Sosa (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a strained right hamstring, Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

After being removed from Thursday's loss to Miami while walking with a noticeable limp, Sosa was officially diagnosed with a strained hamstring Friday. No timetable has been put in place for his recovery, but a return in the minimum 10 days would allow him to see action again before the end of the season.
