The Reds activated Stephenson (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Stephenson is set to make his season debut after missing the first month-plus of the campaign with a left oblique strain. The Reds will carry three catcher for now, as Jose Trevino and Austin Wynns have both played well. Stephenson will be at the top of the catcher depth chart for the Reds but should be eased back into primary catcher duties.

Flores went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a run scored during Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.

The 33-year-old lined his first double of the season into right field in the sixth inning, driving in Willy Adames before coming around to score himself. Flores recorded his 29th RBI on Thursday, which ranks third in the majors. The designated hitter also logged his first multi-hit performance since April 23, snapping an 0-for-15 skid over his previous four games. He's now slashing .239/.289/.434 with 14 runs scored, seven home runs and a 7:28 BB:K across 121 plate appearances.

Ohtani (elbow) will continue throwing off a mound twice per week going forward, per MLB.com.

Ohtani took a brief pause in his throwing program upon going on the paternity list April 18, but he returned to bullpen work April 26 and is expected to resume his previous throwing schedule, which included twice-per-week bullpens, moving forward. The two-way star continues to feature as the Dodgers' leadoff hitter and primary DH, but it remains uncertain when he'll make his debut as a pitcher for Los Angeles.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Royals.

Diaz got the Rays off to a quick start, as he delivered his fourth home run of the season in the first inning. He continues to get on track at the plate after a slow start to the year, as he's gone 15-for-44 with only four strikeouts across his last 11 games.

Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI in Thursday's 8-3 win at Pittsburgh.

Suzuki broke a 2-2 with a solo blast during the fifth inning and added some insurance with a two-run shot in the fifth. It's the second two-homer performance of the season for the 30-year-old, who has hit three long balls over the past three games. Suzuki has been one of the better hitters in baseball early in 2025 with nine home runs, 28 RBI and a .295/.365/.625 slash line through 28 games.

Pozo said X-rays on his left wrist were negative Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

There was fear for the health of Pozo's wrist after he collided with Cincinnati's TJ Friedl at home plate during Thursday's game in Cincinnati, but the catcher appears to have avoided a serious injury. Pozo completed the game, going 1-for-3, and he finished 3-for-9 during the four-game series in Cincinnati.

The Yankees transferred Stanton (elbows) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Bryan De La Cruz, who was claimed off waivers. It does not change the timetable for Stanton, who is not close to returning from tennis elbow in both arms. Stanton has made progress recently in taking batting practice, but it's not clear when he might be ready for a rehab assignment.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Pederson will sit for the third time in the four-game series while the Athletics send another southpaw (Jeffrey Springs) to the hill. With Pederson on the bench, Jonah Heim will serve as the Rangers' designated hitter.

Yelich is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the White Sox.

Yelich will get the afternoon off after starting every game since April 15. William Contreras will occupy the designated-hitter spot Thursday, while Eric Haase will do the catching and bat ninth.

Gasper is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

Gasper will hit the bench after he had served as the Twins' designated hitter in three of the past four games while going 2-for-11 with an RBI and a run. The switch-hitting 29-year-old could see an uptick in opportunities while the Twins are without Royce Lewis (hamstring), Matt Wallner (hamstring) and Willi Castro (oblique), though manager Rocco Baldelli may prefer to rotate a number of players at the DH spot rather than settling on Gasper as the team's primary option.
