The Marlins activated Fortes (quadricep) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Fortes has fully recovered from a right quadriceps strain and will reclaim his spot on the active roster, sending Jhonny Pereda back to Triple-A Jacksonville. While he'll be active for Friday's game against the Mets, Fortes isn't part of the starting lineup.

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

With Nick Fortes (quad) returning from the injured list, Pereda will lose his spot on the active roster. Pereda went 3-for-9 with two RBI during his eight-day stint with Miami.

McLain (shoulder/rib) has been cleared to resume baseball work, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Mclain's recovery from offseason surgery on his left shoulder was derailed in early August when he sustained a stress reaction in his rib cage. He was temporarily shut down from baseball activities and a rehab assignment scheduled to begin Aug. 12 was cancelled. However, he's back to swinging a bat and participating in other drills. The Reds haven't announced a new date for McLain to start his minor-league rehab assignment, and he shouldn't be expected back until September.

Nunez (forearm) threw 20 pitches of live batting practice Friday and expects to begin a rehab assignment next, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Nunez went up against batters for the first time since being placed on the injured list July 26 and left the session without a setback. While it's unclear when he'll be shipped out for a minor-league rehab assignment, the 28-year-old expects a rehab stint to be the next step in his recovery from a strained right forearm.

Dunshee cleared waivers Friday and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Atlanta designated Dunshee for assignment Wednesday and after clearing waivers, the 29-year-old will return to Gwinnett. Dunshee has logged a 2.51 ERA across 32.1 innings at Triple-A but surrendered five runs in 2.1 innings during his MLB debut Aug. 8.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM on Friday that he expects Muncy (oblique) to be back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Muncy has gone 4-for-13 with one double and a 4:2 K:BB in four rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He will remain there through the weekend, then take a day off Monday before rejoining the Dodgers on Tuesday. Muncy has been sidelined since mid-May with a right oblique strain.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM Friday that the hope is Edman (wrist/ankle) will be ready for activation from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Acquired from the Cardinals at the trade deadline, Edman has been out all season recovering from wrist surgery and more recently an ankle sprain, but his Dodgers debut is on the horizon. Edman is 5-for-15 with one home run and a 1:3 K:BB in five rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He's expected to see the bulk of his action in center field for the Dodgers, but Edman also made a start at shortstop at OKC this week and offers the versatility to play multiple spots if needed.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that Wrobleski will start Friday in St. Louis.

It looks to be just a spot start for Wrobleski, who has posted a 4.05 ERA and 15:7 K:BB over 20 innings in his first four major-league outings. The Cardinals have struggled mightily versus left-handed pitching this season, making the rookie southpaw an intriguing streaming option.

Nimmo (illness) is batting third and playing left field Friday against Miami.

Nimmo didn't play in Thursday's game against Oakland due to the stomach flu, but he's feeling well enough to suit up and start Friday's series opener. The left fielder is 0-for-13 with four walks, a run scored and an RBI across his last four games.

Fraley is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Royals, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

It's right-hander Michael Lorenzen on the mound for the Royals, but the left-handed hitting Fraley will begin this one on the bench while Will Benson starts in right field. With Spencer Steer playing more outfield of late, Fraley and Benson have seen their playing time dip.
