The Giants recalled Warren from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

He's taking the roster spot opened up when Jordan Hicks (shoulder) landed on the IL. Warren has allowed two runs over 6.2 innings during his brief time in the Giants' bullpen in 2024.

Senga (calf) will throw up to 35 pitches over an inning or two with Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The right-hander was hoping to make a rehab appearance with Syracuse this weekend before the end of the Triple-A season, and he's now on the schedule for Saturday. Assuming that appearance goes well, Senga could join the Mets in a relief capacity early next week for the final games of the regular season.

The Giants placed Hicks on the 15-day injured list Friday with right shoulder inflammation, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It's the same injury he returned from less than a week ago and this trip back to the IL will end his season. Hicks' campaign started off promisingly as a member of the Giants' rotation with a 2.33 ERA in his first 11 starts. However, he finished with a 6.10 ERA in his last 18 appearances, getting demoted to the bullpen in the second half in addition to the two IL trips. The Giants plan to put him back into their rotation in 2025.

Lindor (back) will attempt to go through a full slate of baseball activities before Friday's game, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Lindor is not in Friday's lineup versus the Phillies, as he will miss a fifth straight start with his back injury. However, if he comes out of Friday's pregame workout well, he will have a shot to be back in the Mets' lineup Saturday. Lindor has started just one out of the team's last seven contests after tweaking his back one week ago.

Riley (hand) will undergo a CT scan Monday to determine whether he can have his cast removed, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Being able to get the cast removed then will give Riley a shot to return at some point during the postseason should Atlanta make a run, although it's not clear how likely his return would be. Riley also revealed Friday that the fracture to his right hand he suffered back in mid-August was to his hamate bone.

De La Cruz is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Cincinnati.

De La Cruz had started each of the previous four games and seven of the last eight contests in right field, but he will begin this one on the bench. Billy Cook is in right field and batting ninth for the Pirates.

Stott is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

The left-handed-hitting Stott will receive a breather as the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the bump. Edmundo Sosa will play second base and bat seventh as the Phillies try to even up the series.

Marsh is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Mets.

It's left-hander David Peterson on the hill for the Mets, so the lefty-batting Marsh will be on the bench to begin the contest. Johan Rojas is in center field and Weston Wilson is in left for the Phillies.

Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) will play in the Arizona Fall League, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Encarnacion-Strand was limited to just 29 games this season due to a wrist injury which eventually required surgery. He will make up for at-bats he lost during the year with some Fall League games and should head into spring training without any restrictions.

McLain (shoulder/rib) will play in instructional league games this fall, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

McLain has missed the entire 2024 campaign following shoulder surgery and later a stress reaction in his rib cage, so he will get into some game action this fall to make up for lost time. Barring any setbacks, he should enter spring training with a clean bill of health.
