The Dodgers designated Loutos for assignment Friday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Loutos has given up five earned runs in three major-league innings this season, and he'll now end up as the roster casualty necessary to make room for Chris Stratton. Despite his big-league struggles, Loutos owns a 2.41 ERA across 18.2 total innings in Triple-A, so there could be a few other clubs out there willing to add the 26-year-old to their 40-man.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against San Francisco.

Baldwin and Sean Murphy continue to alternate starts behind the dish, a trend that goes back eight games. Baldwin is in a bit of a rut, having just three hits in his last 23 at-bats. However, two of those hits were home runs.

Hoskins is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

Hoskins will get the night off Friday after making six consecutive starts for the Brewers. In his stead, Jake Bauers will play first base and bat seventh.

Lindor (toe) isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against the Rockies.

Lindor is dealing with a broken right pinkie toe and isn't expected to require a stint on the injured list. However, he's not feeling well enough to start Friday, so Ronny Mauricio will fill in at shortstop. It's unknown when Lindor will be back in action, as it's entirely up to his pain tolerance. Per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, manager Carlos Mendoza said Friday that he wouldn't be surprised if Lindor returned sometime this weekend.

Diaz is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Brewers on Friday.

Diaz will be idle for a second straight game while Martin Maldonado will serve behind home plate and bat ninth. Diaz has gone 3-for-24 with two runs, two RBI and eight strikeouts over his last 10 games.

Arraez (knee) will serve as the designated hitter and bat second against Milwaukee on Friday.

Padres manager Mike Shildt told reporters Thursday that Arraez is working through posterior knee soreness. The 28-year-old is considered day-to-day, but he could see more work as the Padres' DH while Gavin Sheets shifts to first base. Arraez has gone 10-for-35 with five RBI over his last nine games.

Bogaerts (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth against the Brewers on Friday.

Bogaerts was out of the lineup against the Giants on Thursday while nursing a sore left shoulder. However, the issue doesn't appear to be a serious one as he's back in the lineup for Friday's series opener. The veteran shortstop has slashed .233/.311/.311 with seven steals, two home runs and 13 RBI across 119 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

McCutchen is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

McCutchen's streak of seven consecutive starts comes to an end Friday, as he'll yield to Bryan Reynolds at DH. McCutchen is 0-for-11 with six strikeouts over his last three outings.

Burnes (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery next week, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Burnes landed on the injured list Tuesday due to inflammation in his right elbow, and after receiving multiple opinions on his injury, he'll elect to go under the knife to address the issue. His surgery will put an abrupt end to his 2025 season, and he'll finish the year with a 2.66 ERA and 1.17 WHIP alongside a 63:26 K:BB across 64.1 innings (11 starts). He's likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2026 campaign as well.

Hayes isn't part of the Pirates' starting nine for Friday's game against the Phillies.

Hayes had made nine consecutive starts. During that stretch, Hayes went 5-for-31 (.161) with three RBI and three runs scored. Jared Triolo will bat eighth and play third Friday.
