Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Friday that Quintana (shoulder) could be reinstated from the 15-day injured list when eligible May 26, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Quintana landed on the 15-day IL on Wednesday due to a left shoulder impingement. An MRI revealed inflammation in his left shoulder, but the Brewers are optimistic that Quintana will need only a minimum stint on the IL, which would put him in line to start against the Red Sox on May 26. He went 4-1 across six starts with a 2.65 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB over 34 innings prior to his injury.

Martini isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Martini will step out of the starting nine Friday after going 6-for-21 with an RBI and a run scored in 10 games since the start of May. Hunter Goodman will fill in as Colorado's DH while Jacob Stallings starts behind the plate.

Reynolds is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Phillies on Friday.

Reynolds will get a breather Friday after going 0-for-21 with one RBI and seven strikeouts over his last five games. Alexander Canario, Matt Gorski and Tommy Pham will serve in the outfield for Pittsburgh on Friday.

Cruz (back) is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Phillies on Friday.

Cruz will miss a fifth consecutive game while continuing to work through back soreness. Tommy Pham, Matt Gorski and Alexander Canario will start in the outfield for the Pirates in Friday's series opener against Phillies southpaw Ranger Suarez.

The Dodgers optioned Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Wrobleski pitched well after being recalled Thursday, tossing four shutout frames and striking out four batters while collecting his first win of the season. However, he'll now be sent back to the Comets in favor of Ryan Loutos, who offers another fresh arm to Los Angeles' bullpen.

The Dodgers recalled Loutos from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The Dodgers will call upon Loutos to provide a fresh arm for their bullpen, replacing Justin Wrobleski, who was sent down to the minors. Loutos, 26, was traded from St. Louis to Los Angeles on May 1 and has since thrown 3.1 shutout innings at Oklahoma City. He'll work in middle relief while in L.A.

The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Tyler Fitzgerald (ribs), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Wisely went 0-for-10 with two RBI after being recalled by the Giants on May 1. He'll return to Triple-A, where he is slashing .235/.325/.431 with three steals, five home runs and 19 RBI in 118 plate appearances.

Gonzalez (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Gonzalez fractured his left ankle on Opening Day in late March, and it wasn't until early May that he was able to shed a walking boot and take part in baseball activities. He's taking the next step in his recovery by starting a rehab assignment, and how his ankle responds after this weekend's games will determine a timeline for his return to the majors.

The Pirates designated Helman for assignment Friday.

The move makes room on the 40-man roster for Nick Solak, whose contract was selected by the Pirates from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday. Helman was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Wednesday after being DFA'd by the Cardinals. He is slashing .185/.260/.292 with one steal, one home run and five RBI across 73 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

The Pirates optioned Bae to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Nick Solak, whose contract was selected by the Pirates. Bae appeared in five games for Pittsburgh after being recalled May 9 and went 1-for-7 with two stolen bases and three runs scored over that span. He could return to the majors should the Pirates require outfield depth.
