Roupp (7-8) earned the win Friday, allowing two hits and three walks over seven scoreless innings against the Mariners. He struck out two.

Roupp surrendered just one run over eight innings during his final start before the All-Star break versus Toronto on July 6, and he delivered another strong performance Friday to secure his second straight victory. The right-hander won five of his first six starts of the season and had a 2.55 ERA during that span before stumbling to a 5.77 ERA in his subsequent eight outings, but he's found his footing of late with a quality start in four of his past five appearances. Roupp will take a 3.98 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 106:45 K:BB across 104 frames into his next start, which tentatively lines up to come in Kansas City.

Shaw is still feeling discomfort related to his left hand sprain and has yet to resume swinging a bat, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Shaw has been sidelined by his sprained hand since late June, and he likely will remain without a timeline to return until he's able to swing a bat without any pain. In the meantime, Seiya Suzuki should continue to receive the majority of the starts in right field, with Michael Conforto and Kevin Alcantara getting occasional reps.

France went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored while striking out once in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to Kansas City.

France came up with two outs in the ninth, with his team trailing 3-2, and blasted a game-tying solo home run off Alex Lange to send the game to extras. The 32-year-old's home run marked his second blast in his last three games. On the season, France has batted .268/.328/.502 with 12 homers and 34 RBI in 233 plate appearances.

Manager Pat Murphy said after Friday's win over Miami that he believes Frelick (shoulder) "won't be able to go anytime soon," Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The Brewers pulled Frelick out of Friday's contest when he reported soreness in his shoulder after making a throw from right field in the fourth inning, and although no decisions have been made just yet, Murphy's comments suggest that the 26-year-old will have to spend some time on the injured list. Frelick will presumably head in for imaging to determine the severity of his injury, at which point a timeline for his return could emerge. In the meantime, Luis Lara figures to receive regular opportunities in the outfield.

Henderson said after Friday's win over Miami that he was experiencing forearm cramping during the fifth inning, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Henderson was visited on the mound by one of the Brewers' trainers in the fifth but remained in the game to finish the inning and ended his night with one run allowed on three hits and no walks while fanning four batters in five frames. He also said after the game that he was already feeling better, and the team's decision to keep him in the game after the mound visit suggests that he isn't dealing with anything serious. That said, it's still something the team will likely keep an eye on leading up to his next start -- currently lined up to come Wednesday against the Mets.

Hart (0-2) blew the save and took the loss against the Royals on Friday, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits in one-third of an inning.

Hart came in for the 10th inning to protect San Diego's 6-3 lead before blowing his first save of the campaign. The 33-year-old allowed an RBI single to Michael Massey and an RBI groundout by Isaac Collins before Carter Jensen plated two runs to give the Royals the win. In 24 appearances this season, Hart has a 5.82 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB in 34 innings.

Andujar went 3-for-4 with three doubles, one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's extra-inning loss to the Royals.

Andujar recorded his second three-double game in his past four contests. The 31-year-old was able to drive in Jake Cronenworth on an RBI double in the top of the 10th to give the Padres a short-lived lead. On the season, Andujar has slashed .268/.307/.437 with 20 doubles and five homers in 244 plate appearances.

Tatis went 3-for-5 with an RBI single in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Royals in 10 innings.

Tatis had been hitless in his previous two games before recording a trio of hits against Kansas City on Friday. The 27-year-old drove in Miguel Andujar with an RBI single in the top of the 10th to extend San Diego's lead to 5-3. On the campaign, Tatis is now slashing .281/.343/.377 with five homers, 36 RBI and 23 steals in 421 plate appearances.

Harris went 2-for-6 with two doubles and three RBI during Friday's 15-1 win over Texas.

This marks the second time this season that Harris has hit two doubles in a game. His second two-bagger Friday cleared the bases in the seventh inning to extend Atlanta's lead to 11-0. The 25-year-old outfielder continues to enjoy a productive season, slashing .297/.329/.491 with 16 home runs, 56 RBI and six steals across 359 plate appearances.

King allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision Friday against the Royals.

King pitched five efficient innings, allowing just one mistake which resulted in a solo home run off the bat of Lane Thomas in the bottom of the second. The 31-year-old King exited the game with his team leading 2-1 before Xander Bogaerts committed a throwing error to allow the game-tying run to cross the plate in the bottom of the sixth, giving King a no-decision. On the season, King now has a 3.34 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 96:45 K:BB in 113.1 innings.
