Henry (elbow) is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Henry was placed on Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list June 12 due to left elbow discomfort, and after seeking multiple opinions, Tommy John surgery was elected as the best path moving forward for the 27-year-old southpaw. Henry will miss the rest of the 2025 season, and given the procedure, he'll likely miss most -- if not all -- of 2026. Henry appeared in two major-league games for the Diamondbacks this season but spent most of the year in Triple-A, where he posted a 2-6 record in 11 starts with an 8.12 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 51:21 K:BB across 54.1 innings.

Ruiz is not in the Nationals' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.

Ruiz -- who went 1-for-12 over his last three starts -- will get a breather for Friday's series opener. Riley Adams will serve behind home plate and bat eighth while catching pitches from Nationals southpaw MacKenzie Gore.

Suarez was issued a three-game suspension from Major League Baseball on Friday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Suarez was ejected from Thursday's game against the Dodgers after hitting Shohei Ohtani with a pitch, and the 34-year-old closer will now receive a three-game ban on top of it. Suarez is appealing the suspension, so he will remain on the Padres' active roster until a verdict is reached.

Santana received a four-game suspension and fine from the league Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

The incident occurred during the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers for "aggressive conduct toward a fan near the bullpen." The suspension was set to start Friday, but Santana has appealed the suspension and will be available out of the bullpen until the process is complete. He has a 1.72 ERA, a 0.83 WHIP, five holds and a 25:5 K:BB across 31.1 innings this season.

The Giants recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Wisely will take the spot on the 26-man roster vacated by Justin Verlander (personal), who was placed on the Giants' paternity list in a corresponding move. Wisely has appeared in five major-league games for the Giants this season, with his last outing taking place May 11 against the Twins. He is slashing .230/.308/.357 with six steals, five home runs and 30 RBI across 223 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

The Giants placed Verlander on the paternity list Friday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Verlander will be away from the team temporarily for personal reasons, but he should be back to make his regularly scheduled turn in the rotation that's set for Tuesday against Miami. Brett Wisely was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Fitzgerald is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Fitzgerald will be out of the lineup for a second straight game and the third time in the Giants' last five contests while Christian Koss starts at second base and bats ninth. Fitzgerald has struggled at the plate in June, having gone 7-for-49 (.143) with two steals, two RBI and a 29.8 percent strikeout rate.

Smith is not in San Francisco's starting lineup against Boston on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Smith will take a seat after going 1-for-10 with one RBI and four strikeouts during the Giants' three-game home series against the Guardians earlier this week. Wilmer Flores will start at first base and bat in the cleanup spot.

The Dodgers optioned Little to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

After throwing two innings in his MLB debut Thursday, Little will return to Triple-A so the Dodgers can add a fresh arm to the bullpen in Will Klein. The 27-year-old owns a 2.20 ERA and a 33:14 K:BB over 32.2 innings with Oklahoma City.

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

Klein will make his Dodgers debut if he gets into a game, as Los Angeles acquired him via a June 2 trade and immediately optioned him to Triple-A. He's posted a 5.06 ERA and a 12:1 K:BB in six outings with Oklahoma City and will take Jack Little's spot on the active roster.
