The Dodgers recalled Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Wrobleski allowed just two runs in 10 innings over his last two starts in the majors, but he's given up seven runs in 10.1 frames since being sent down to Triple-A at the end of July. Tyler Glasnow (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, and his absence could allow Wrobleski to stick around for several turns through the rotation.

The Dodgers placed Glasnow on the 15-day injured list Friday with right elbow tendinitis, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The Dodgers pushed back Glasnow's next start from Friday to Saturday after he pitched seven innings during his last outing, but he'll now have to miss multiple turns through the rotation. His roster spot will be given to Justin Wrobleski, who was recalled from Triple-A to start Friday's game versus St. Louis. Bobby Miller was added to the Dodgers' taxi squad Friday and will presumably start Saturday's contest in Glasnow's place.

Yamamoto (triceps) threw 17 pitches in his live bullpen session Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Friday marked the first time Yamamoto has faced live hitters since going on the injured list in June. His session was cut short due to the heat, but he noted afterwards that he felt good. The 25-year-old will need at least two more live sessions before going on a rehab assignment.

Hendricks didn't factor into the decision Friday against Toronto, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits over five innings. He struck out two.

Hendricks held the Blue Jays to one unearned run through his first four innings before Leo Jimenez tied the game at 2-2 with a solo homer to lead off the fifth. While it's been a tough year overall for Hendricks, the veteran right-hander has looked better of late, holding opponents to three runs or fewer in five of his last six outings. Overall, Hendricks is 3-10 with a 6.35 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 67:27 K:BB across 96.1 innings this season. He's currently lined up to face the Tigers at home next week in his next start.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Miller will likely be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Tyler Glasnow (elbow) was slated to start Saturday's contest but was placed on the injured list Friday, opening up an opportunity for Miller to make a spot start. The 25-year-old has accumulated an 8.07 ERA and 1.83 WHIP across 29 innings in the majors this year, and he's given up eight runs in 13 frames since being moved to Triple-A on July 10.

Rodriguez allowed four runs on four hits and two walks over five innings in a no-decision Friday against the Cubs. He struck out five.

All four runs charged to Rodriguez came via the long ball. He allowed a two-run shot to Cody Bellinger in the opening inning before Pete Crow-Armstrong and Miguel Amaya added solo homers in the fifth. The Blue Jays would come back in the ninth to tie the game, sparing Rodriguez a loss, but he still hasn't recorded a win since July 6. However, the right-hander had been pitching well coming into Friday's outing, allowing just one run in his previous two starts (10.1 innings). Overall, Rodriguez is 1-5 on the year with a 3.93 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 57:27 K:BB across 55 innings. He's currently slated for a home matchup with the Reds in his next start.

Scherzer (shoulder) threw 25 pitches in his bullpen session Friday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Scherzer noted afterwards that he's aiming to throw 40 pitches in his next session Sunday. The 40-year-old was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 2 due to right arm fatigue, and he received a nerve injection in his throwing shoulder two weeks later. Scherzer's timeline to return to the Rangers' rotation should become clearer following Sunday's throwing session.

Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Friday that Senga (calf) should be able to throw while standing within the next 7-to-10 days, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Senga has already been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season with a high-grade left calf strain, but it's possible he could be available should the Mets make a playoff run. The pitcher has been able to maintain a throwing program since suffering a strained calf in his season debut July 26, but using his legs while throwing would be an encouraging sign of progress.

Nelson is slated to start Friday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field.

Manager Torey Lovullo said earlier in the week that Nelson would be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, but with the Diamondbacks not needing to use the right-hander in that contest, he'll slot back into the rotation Friday for his 21st start of the season. Lovullo noted that the Diamondbacks intend to scale back their rotation from six to five men following Friday's contest, so barring another starting pitcher falling victim to an injury, Nelson looks like he'll be headed back to the bullpen after his start versus the Rays.

The Red Sox activated Criswell from the COVID-19 injured list Friday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Criswell was unavailable for the past week due to the virus but is expected to serve as a bulk reliever in Friday's game against the Orioles, following opener Brennan Bernardino. James Paxton's likely season-ending calf injury opens up the fifth spot in the Red Sox' rotation and Criswell is the current favorite to fill it, although Rich Hill could eventually be in the mix after he was inked to a minor-league deal Friday.
