Peralta has been scratched from Friday's lineup against the Mariners with an undisclosed issue, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

Peralta was originally slated to hit sixth and play left field, but he will be replaced by Enrique Hernandez. The issue has not been specified, though he just returned from an elbow injury Tuesday.

Acuna exited Friday's game against the Marlins in the seventh inning with right calf tightness.

Acuna pulled up after grounding into a double play to end the top of the seventh inning. He went out to right field to begin the bottom of the frame, though he exited after speaking with trainers. Positively, he appears to have avoided a serious issue.

Harper was ejected from Friday's game against the Cardinals, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Harper was upset by a called second strike that looked to be high and out of the strike zone. He struck out swinging on the next pitch and after firing his bat and helmet toward the third-base dugout, directed comments in the general vicinity of home plate umpire Alex Tosi that got him tossed. Harper had gone 0-for-2 with a run and an RBI prior to the ejection.

Musgrove (shoulder) will not pitch again in 2023, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Musgrove had his throwing program slowed, meaning he won't be able to return again this season. He reportedly hasn't suffered a setback, but the Padres instead have opted to take a conservative approach given that they've fallen out of playoff contention. Musgrove will end the campaign with a 3.05 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and a 97:21 K:BB across 97.1 frames.

Stone will pitch Sunday against the Mariners as either a traditional starter or bulk reliever, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Stone pitched as a traditional starter Monday and struggled across 5.1 innings against San Diego. Manager Dave Roberts' wording Friday, when he indicated that Stone would work "the bulk innings", suggests that the right-hander will follow an opener this time around, though it's unclear who will fill that role. Emmet Sheehan was originally projected to start Sunday but could throw a shorter outing instead with the Dodgers likely monitoring his innings carefully.

Jameson (elbow) has had his throwing program interrupted by arm tenderness, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Jameson chose to rehab his strained UCL rather than have surgery to repair the issue. He was hoping to return at some point in 2023, though this development has almost certainly closed the door on that possibility.

De La Cruz exited Friday's game against Atlanta with right ankle discomfort, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

De La Cruz suffered the injury while running out a groundball in the third inning, though the severity of the issue is unclear. Prior to his exit, he went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored. Garrett Hampson took over in left field.

Cobb had his next start pushed back to Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Cobb was originally slated to start during a doubleheader Saturday against the Rockies, but the team has opted to give him extra rest, as he's been managing a hip issue of late. The team has yet to officially announce a starter to replace Cobb, but Ross Stripling (back) was activated from the injured list Friday and appears to be a logical candidate to take the mound.

Harrison was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Harrison has struggled over his last three starts, surrendering 12 earned runs across 14.2 frames. Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco also reports that Harrison had lost velocity in his last outing, a factor that may have played a part in the team's decision to take him out of the big-league rotation. Barring an injury to a pitcher, Harrison will have to spend at least 15 days in the minors. Ross Stripling (back) was activated in the corresponding move.

Stripling (back) was reinstated from the injured list Friday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Stripling has been sidelined since Aug. 19 with a mid-back strain but threw 50 pitches in a live batting practice session Monday. His exact role hasn't been confirmed, but Alex Wood had his start pushed to Tuesday, while Kyle Harrison was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday. That combination suggests Stripling could be in line to start Saturday during a doubleheader against the Rockies.
