Bogaerts (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will start at second base Friday against Atlanta, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts has been on the injured list since late May due to a fractured left shoulder, but he'll return to the Padres' lineup following a six-game rehab assignment. The 31-year-old went 6-for-18 with an RBI and four runs scored between Single-A and Triple-A and figures to start in the field most days now that he's healthy. Brett Sullivan was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in order to clear a space on the active roster.

Murphy is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Padres.

Murphy started three of four games during a series against the Diamondbacks this week, going 3-for-11 with one walk, one home run and three RBI. He'll begin Friday's contest in the dugout while Travis d'Arnaud starts behind the plate and bats eighth against Padres knuckleballer Matt Waldron.

Wade (hamstring) is batting second and playing first base Friday against Minnesota, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wade sat out Thursday's contest with hamstring soreness, but he's feeling well enough to play Friday. The 30-year-old is 5-for-20 with a solo home run and a double in July.

Marte is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

Marte will take a seat Friday after starting in four consecutive games. In his place, Kevin Newman will bat ninth and play second base.

Gurriel (soreness) isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Friday's game versus Toronto.

General soreness caused Gurriel to sit for Thursday's game, and it seems he'll need at least one more day of rest. Randal Grichuk will get the nod in left field and bat sixth.

The Brewers optioned Capra to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Joey Ortiz (neck), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Capra started in two of three games for the Brewers after being called up from Nashville on July 3, going 1-for-9 with one run and three strikeouts.

The Brewers reinstated Ortiz (neck) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Neck inflammation has plagued Ortiz since late June, though he didn't land on the injured list until July 3. He went 0-for-2 with a walk during his lone rehab game with High-A Wisconsin on Thursday and will now reclaim his role as Milwaukee's everyday third baseman. Vinny Capra was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

O'Brien is scheduled to throw live batting practice Saturday with Double-A Springfield and could start a rehab assignment next week if it goes well, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Saturday will be O'Brien's third, and possibly last, live BP session, as the 29-year-old reliever could see game action as early as next week. O'Brien hasn't pitched in a game since Opening Day, when he sustained a strained forearm. He'll likely require several rehab appearances before being activated.

Alzolay (forearm) will throw live batting practice Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Alzolay threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday and is set to face batters for the first time since being placed on the injured list in mid-May. The 29-year-old has been rehabbing at the Cubs' Arizona complex, and he'll likely require a handful of minor-league rehab outings before being activated.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Yamamoto (shoulder) played catch from 60 feet twice this week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It's an encouraging step for the right-hander, who had been shut down from throwing since he landed on the injured list with a rotator cuff strain in mid-June. Yamamoto will need to build his arm strength up before he returns to throwing off a mound. He's likely not particularly close to a return, as he'll need multiple rehab starts before rejoining the Dodgers.
