Schwellenbach did not factor into the decision in Friday's 5-3 win versus Miami, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out 10.

After punching out a career-high 11 in his last start, the Atlanta rookie generated an impressive 17 whiffs en route to his 10 punchouts in this 94-pitch outing. After allowing a two-run homer to Jonah Bride in the first inning, the only other blemish on Schwellenbach's performance was a 416-foot solo shot given up to Jake Burger in the third. The right-hander has been splendid post-All-Star break, firing 20 innings with a 3.15 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 29:0 K:BB. Schwellenbach is currently slated to face the Brewers at home in his next start.

Blackmon was removed from Friday's game against the Padres after getting hit in the head by a throw, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

An errant throw from Xander Bogaerts connected with Blackmon's face as he was running toward first base in the third inning. The 38-year-old outfielder was able to walk off the field on his own, but he'll likely be evaluated for a concussion in the Rockies' clubhouse.

Bellozo did not factor into the decision in Friday's 5-3 loss to Atlanta, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

The Miami right-hander was recalled Friday to make his first start since July 2 after pitching to a 3.21 ERA across 14 innings at Triple-A since his last major league appearance. The 24-year-old tossed 66 pitches before being lifted in the sixth after allowing a leadoff triple to Whit Merrifield. The two earned runs on Bellozo's ledger were Merrifield -- who later scored on an Austin Riley RBI groundout -- and a solo homer allowed to Orlando Arcia in the fifth. If the Marlins rookie sticks in the rotation, his next start would be slated to come against the Reds at home next week.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Buehler (hip) will make one more rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Buehler has struggled mightily in his last two rehab outings, giving up eight earned runs in 7.1 innings while striking out nine batters and walking five. His next outing will most likely be his final appearance in the minors, regardless of his performance, though he could be relegated to the bullpen if he's unable to turn things around.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that he doesn't anticipate Freeman (personal) playing during the three-game weekend series against the Athletics, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Freeman is set to come off the family emergency list Saturday, but it's unlikely that he will return to action as he spends time with his family. Cavan Biggio will continue to start at first base for the Dodgers in Freeman's absence.

Miller was scratched from his scheduled start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday due adductor tightness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Miller felt tightness following his bullpen session earlier in the week. After struggling in the majors this season, Miller was optioned to Oklahoma City on July 10. He's been inconsistent since being sent down to the minors, and in his last outing July 27, he walked away with the no-decision after allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out one across 3.2 innings.

Pages isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Friday's game against Oakland.

Pages will take a seat for Friday's series opener after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during Wednesday's loss to San Diego. Kevin Kiermaier will get the starting nod in center field instead while batting eighth.

McNeil is absent from the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Angels.

With the Halos sending southpaw Tyler Anderson to the mound Friday, the lefty-hitting McNeil will begin the contest on the bench. Jose Iglesias will start at second base and bat sixth.

Winker is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

Winker will begin Friday's contest in the dugout with the Angels sending southpaw Tyler Anderson to the mound. Tyrone Taylor will start in right field and bat seventh.

Hays isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

After going 5-for-21 with four RBI and three runs scored through his first five games with the Phillies, Hays will get a day to rest Friday. While he sits, Brandon Marsh, Johan Rojas and Nick Castellanos will start across Philadelphia's outfield.
