Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Friday that Frelick (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment soon, Casey Drottar of MLB.com reports.

Murphy noted that Frelick will likely be limited to designated hitter duty initially on his rehab assignment as he works his way back from a right shoulder strain. Frelick played though shoulder discomfort for much of the season before he finally landed on the 10-day injured list in mid-July. He should return before the end of August if he can avoid a setback.

Bauers (abdomen) will start at first base and bat third in Friday's contest versus the Twins.

Bauers missed each of the last three games with abdominal soreness, but he is feeling well enough to return to action for Friday's series opener against Minnesota. The 30-year-old is pacing the Brewers this season with 20 home runs and an .878 OPS.

Myers is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Nationals.

He will receive a day of rest after starting in center field in each of the Reds' last four games. Hector Rodriguez will patrol center field in Friday's series opener.

Jarvis is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Yankees.

It's left-hander Max Fried on the bump for the Yankees, so the left-handed-hitting Jarvis will begin the festivities on the bench. Ha-Seong Kim will patrol shortstop in the series opener.

Harris is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

It's the first time since June 19 that Harris has been out of the Atlanta lineup. Mauricio Dubon will grab a start in center field as Atlanta takes on southpaw Max Fried in the Bronx.

Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall said Friday that Greene has been diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his right elbow and will undergo surgery next week, Brian Giesenschlag of Reds Live reports.

The exact nature of the procedure will not be known until the operation is performed. Greene previously had Tommy John surgery in 2019 and underwent surgery in March to have bone chips removed from his elbow. Even if Greene doesn't require another full Tommy John repair, he will be in danger of missing a large portion of the 2027 season. The 27-year-old made only five starts this year after being limited to 19 starts in 2025.

Sanoja is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Angels.

Sanoja will exit the lineup after starting each of the last six games. Leo Jimenez will hold down third base as the Marlins open up a homestand Friday.

Hernandez is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Angels.

Hernandez has hit a rough patch of late, going 2-for-22 across his last six contests. He will yield to Esteury Ruiz in left field in Friday's series opener.

Alvarez is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Pittsburgh.

He'll receive some rest after starting each of the last four contests. Luis Torrens is catching and batting ninth for the Mets in Alvarez's stead.

Robert is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Pittsburgh.

Robert has now been out of the lineup three of the last four times the Mets have faced a right-handed pitcher. A.J. Ewing will be in center field and will be flanked by Carson Benge in left and Brett Baty in right as the Mets take on Pirates righty Carmen Mlodzinski.
