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

Soriano was called up by Miami on Sept. 7, and he allowed six runs over 6.1 frames in three appearances during his time with the big club. He's being sent down in favor of Shaun Anderson, who had his contract selected from Jacksonville on Friday.

Abbott (shoulder) will not return this season, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Abbott has been throwing and will continue to do so in hopes of going into the offseason without any restrictions, but there's not enough time left in the regular season for him to rejoin the Reds' rotation. The left-hander will finish with a 3.72 ERA and 114:52 K:BB over 138 innings covering 25 starts for Cincinnati this season.

The Marlins selected Anderson's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

The right-hander remained in the organization after being designated for assignment by Miami in August, and he'll now receive another look in the big leagues. Anderson has made five appearances with the Marlins and Rangers this season and has a 9.64 ERA, 2.29 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB over 14 innings.

Winker is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Winker has gone 3-for-33 through 15 games in September and will sit Friday as southpaw Cristopher Sanchez takes the mound for Philadelphia. Brandon Nimmo will shift to left field while Harrison Bader starts in center.

Alvarez is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Alvarez homered Thursday for the second time over the last three games, but he will be given a day of rest Friday. Luis Torrens will catch for the Mets and bat seventh.

Lindor (back) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Lindor resumed baseball activities Wednesday and seemingly could be back in the Mets' lineup any day now, but his back injury will keep him out for a fifth straight contest Friday. Luisangel Acuna will again hold down shortstop and bat ninth.

The Diamondbacks designated Guillorme for assignment Friday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

The transaction was made in order to free up a spot on the active roster for the return of Lourdes Gurriel from the injured list. Guillorme played a decent amount while Ketel Marte was injured, but his role has been limited since Marte returned to action.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Gurriel (calf) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

The 31-year-old landed on the shelf in early September due to a calf strain, but he's ready to rejoin the active roster after taking live at-bats at Arizona's camp facility this week. Gurriel was in the midst of a hot stretch at the plate prior to the injury, as he has a .338/.432/.544 slash line with five doubles and three homers in his past 20 games.

The Cubs recalled Wingenter from Triple-A Iowa on Friday.

The right-hander was demoted to Triple-A on Tuesday but will now take the roster spot of Jordan Wicks, who was placed on the injured list due to an oblique strain. Wingenter has appeared in just five big-league games between the Red Sox and Cubs this season and has given up nine earned runs with a 4:3 K:BB over 6.1 innings.

The Cubs placed Wicks on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right oblique strain, Ryan Herrera of AllCHGO.com reports.

It's the same injury which sidelined Wicks for more than two months before he returned at the beginning of September. He posted a 7.50 ERA and 10:10 K:BB over four starts since his activation, so it's possible the lefty was never fully healthy. Wicks finishes the season having been limited to just 46 innings due to injury, holding a 5.48 ERA and 42:20 K:BB.
