The Marlins transferred Kempner (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The transaction clears space on the 40-man roster for the addition of Logan Driscoll. Kempner recently underwent UCL surgery on his right elbow and will be sidelined, at minimum, until late in the 2027 season.

The Marlins optioned Pauley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Pauley had yet to start a game this week and is sporting a lowly .534 OPS on the season. His roster spot is being absorbed by catcher Logan Driscoll.

The Reds optioned Maxwell to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

He's clearing off the roster to make room for the return of Tony Santillan from the injured list. Maxwell gave up one run over three innings covering two appearances during his most recent stint in the Reds' bullpen.

The Reds activated Santillan (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Santillan has missed the past two months of action with a severely strained oblique, but he's ready to roll after making three spotless rehab appearances. The right-handed reliever is slated to work in a setup role ahead of closer Emilio Pagan.

Winn is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

It's his second straight day out of the lineup, though he did appear in Thursday's contest in Cincinnati off the bench. Winn looked to have some discomfort in his hand on a swing during his final plate appearance Wednesday, so his second consecutive absence from the lineup could be related to that. JJ Wetherholt will cover shortstop, and Bryan Torres will play second base for the Cardinals in Friday's series opener.

Burleson is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Philadelphia.

The left-handed hitter had started each of the previous 15 games, so he's earned a day of rest as the Phillies send southpaw Jesus Luzardo to the bump. Blaze Jordan will slide over to first base in place of Burleson, and Jose Fermin will cover third base for the Cardinals.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy indicated that Frelick (shoulder) will not be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday or Saturday but added, "I think you'll see him very soon," Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Perhaps not coincidentally, the Brewers are slated to face left-handers Friday and Saturday before taking on a righty in Tyler Mahle on Sunday, which could be the day the lefty-swinging Frelick returns. Out since mid-July with a right shoulder strain, Frelick has gone 9-for-32 with two home runs and a 5:5 BB:K in nine rehab games with Triple-A Nashville.

The Marlins selected Driscoll's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Driscoll was acquired from the Rays in exchange for cash earlier this week, and he's now joining the big-league roster. The Marlins are already carrying three catchers on their active roster, so the corresponding roster move will likely involve another backstop. Driscoll has slashed .250/.343/.368 with three home runs in 43 games with Triple-A Durham this season.

Seymour allowed one hit while striking out two in one scoreless inning during Thursday's 5-2 loss to Cleveland.

Seymour collected his third straight scoreless outing Thursday, throwing 11 of his 14 pitches for strikes. Across seven appearances with the Giants this season, the 27-year-old owns a 5.79 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB in 14 innings.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Guardians.

After tallying three hits in his return from a four-game absence Wednesday, Adames hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning of Thursday's matchup. The veteran shortstop has recorded at least one hit in each of his last four appearances and is batting .261 with five RBI, four runs scored, two home runs and a stolen base in 53 plate appearances this month. On the year, he's slashing .229/.288/.421 with 60 runs scored, 50 RBI, 20 long balls and five stolen bases across 493 PAs.
