McCutchen went 3-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI and a walk during Friday's 4-2 win over Boston.

McCutchen gave the Pirates the lead in the sixth inning after his double to center field brought Tommy Pham home. Friday marked the fifth time this season that McCutchen recorded at least three hits and the third time he's reached base safely four times. He's gone 8-for-21 (.381) with four doubles, one home run and nine RBI over his last seven games.

The Diamondbacks placed Smith on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Aug. 28, with a strained left quad.

Smith was lifted from Wednesday's game against Milwaukee with quad tightness and further evaluation confirmed he's dealing with a strain. Jordan Lawlar was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move, but Tyler Locklear should handle most of the work at first base while Smith is idle.

Santander (shoulder) will travel with the Blue Jays to Cincinnati early next week and should begin a rehab assignment after that, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Santander has been running, taking batting practice and hitting off a high-velocity pitching machine and is close to being cleared for game action. The switch hitter has been on the shelf with a subluxation of his left shoulder since late May. Santander could return to the Blue Jays' active roster by mid-September if all goes well.

Jimenez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on Friday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Jimenez slashed .278/.335/.397 with three home runs in 167 plate appearances with Triple-A Durham in the Rays organization before being released in July. He will give the Blue Jays some experienced depth at Triple-A Buffalo in the corner outfield and at designated hitter.

Schwarber went 4-for-6 with four home runs and nine RBI in Thursday's 19-4 win over Atlanta.

Schwarber entered Thursday stuck in an 0-for-20 slump across his previous six games. Philadelphia's barrage started with his solo shot in the first inning, and he added a two-run blast in the fourth and three-run shots in the fifth and seventh frames to become the 21st player to hit four homers in a single game. He's the third player to achieve the feat in 2025, joining Eugenio Suarez and Nick Kurtz, which makes this the first season where it has happened more than twice. Atlanta has been on the receiving end of two of those games this year. Philadelphia also has a major-league record four players in the four-homer club, as Schwarber joins Ed Delahanty (1896), Chuck Klein (1936) and Mike Schmidt (1976) in the exclusive group. The mammoth performance vaulted Schwarber into sole possession of the National League lead in homers at 49, which is a career high for him and puts him one back of Seattle's Cal Raleigh for the major-league lead. Schwarber leads MLB with 119 RBI while adding 94 runs scored, 10 stolen bases and a .248/.370/.586 slash line through 134 contests.

Suzuki is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in San Francisco.

It's a routine day off for Suzuki, who has struggled mightily in the second half with a .578 OPS and just two home runs. Kyle Tucker will get a day in the designated-hitter spot while Owen Caissie plays right field.

Smith (quadriceps) is likely to be placed on the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's series opener against the Dodgers, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Smith was removed from Wednesday's win over the Brewers due to left quad tightness. He won't stick around in Milwaukee for Thursday's series finale and will instead head back to Phoenix to undergo imaging. Assuming the MRI confirms a quad strain, Smith will likely require a stint on the IL. Tyler Locklear will start at first base Thursday and should serve as the Diamondbacks' primary option at the position while Smith is shelved.

Yelich is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

With Milwaukee wrapping up its series against Arizona with a day game after a night game, Yelich will receive a breather after he had started in each of the last 17 contests. Yelich's absence will clear the way for William Contreras to get a break from catching yet remain in the lineup as Milwaukee's designated hitter.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Rockies, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Alvarez started in both of the past two days upon his return from the 60-day injured list, but he will get a breather for Thursday's matinee. Jose Altuve will occupy the designated-hitter spot and Mauricio Dubon will cover left field in the rubber match.

McCutchen is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt in St. Louis.

McCutchen will get a routine day off after starting in the previous two games and five of the last six contests. Bryan Reynolds will serve as the Pirates' designated hitter Thursday, while Jack Suwinski will man right field.
