Myers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

Myers has gone 8-for-19 with three doubles and a home run over his past seven games, but he'll nonetheless hit the bench Friday for the second straight contest. Nick Gordon, Jazz Chisholm and Jesus Sanchez will start across the outfield while Bryan De La Cruz serves as the designated hitter against Cincinnati righty Carson Spiers.

Reid-Foley (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Saturday's activities will mark Reid-Foley's first time throwing off a mound since being placed on the injured list June 22 with a right shoulder impingement. While the 28-year-old may not be ready to bolster the Mets' bullpen immediately after the All-Star break, a July return isn't out of the picture. In 21.2 innings, Reid-Foley has posted a 1.66 ERA with 25 strikeouts.

The Nationals recalled Rutledge from Triple-A Rochester to start Friday's game against the Brewers.

Rutledge will make his first MLB start of 2024, with his only other appearance with the Nationals this season coming May 14 out of the bullpen. The 25-year-old owns a 6.66 ERA across 71.2 innings with Triple-A Rochester and has allowed 10 runs (nine earned) over his last 7.1 innings.

The Nationals optioned Adon to Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

Adon was recalled Monday and allowed a pair of runs across one inning against the Cardinals. He'll yield his spot on the active roster to Jackson Rutledge. Adon owns a 5.55 ERA across 60.0 innings with Rochester.

The Cardinals activated Herrera (back) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Memphis.

Herrera has been shelved since June 22 due to soreness in his lower back, and although he's now healthy, the 24-year-old won't rejoin the big-league roster. Pedro Pages will handle backup catching duties behind Willson Contreras in St. Louis.

Stubbs is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

As per usual, Stubbs will yield to Rafael Marchan behind the dish with a lefty pitcher on the mound in Hogan Harris. Stubbs is slashing .194/.259/.243 across 112 plate appearances this season.

Marsh is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

Marsh will avoid a matchup with southpaw Hogan Harris on Friday. Weston Wilson, Cristian Pache and Nick Castellanos will fill the outfield from left to right.

The Pirates reinstated Bednar (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

The right-hander delivered a scoreless frame in his lone rehab appearance with Double-A Altoona on Tuesday, and that's apparently all the Pirates needed to see before bringing him back from the injured list. Bednar missed about three weeks due to an oblique strain, and he should reclaim closing duties from Aroldis Chapman now that he's healthy.

The Pirates optioned Ryan to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Ryan will make room for David Bednar (oblique) on the active roster. Since being called up Saturday, Ryan appeared in two games and allowed five runs over four innings. The 29-year-old has generated a 4.09 ERA over 22.0 innings with Indianapolis this season.

The Pirates reinstated Gonzales (forearm) from the 60-day injured list, and he'll start Friday's game against the White Sox.

Gonzales has been shelved since April due to a forearm strain, but he's been cleared to return and will immediately step into the rotation. The veteran lefty did struggle during a pair of rehab starts at Triple-A, recording a 6.14 ERA across 7.1 innings, but he'll likely have some room for error against a White Sox team that has one of the worst offenses in MLB.
