Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Taking seat Friday
Winn is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Cincinnati, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
It will be the third day off for Winn since he was promoted back on Aug. 18. He has managed just a .430 OPS in his first 17 major-league games, although he did hit his first homer earlier this week. Tommy Edman will get a start at shortstop Friday.

Lane Thomas LF | ATL
Nationals' Lane Thomas: Held out again Friday
Thomas (back) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Thomas hasn't played since Sunday because of a lingering back issue. A previous MRI showed no structural damage, but it's not clear when Thomas might be ready to play again. Travis Blankenhorn is holding down right field Friday.

Alek Jacob RP | SD
Padres' Alek Jacob: Moved to 60-day IL
Jacob (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Jacob has been on the shelf since late July with a minor flexor strain and a minor UCL sprain in his right elbow. While he will be eligible to return later this month, the smart money would seem to be on the Padres holding him out for the remainder of the season.

Gary Sanchez C | MIL
Padres' Gary Sanchez: Officially lands on IL
Sanchez was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 7, with a right wrist fracture.
Sanchez's season is now officially over after he broke his wrist earlier this week. He slugged 19 home runs in just 260 plate appearances with the Padres, which could be enough to land him a major-league contract this winter after he bounced around in 2023.

Eguy Rosario 3B | SD
Padres' Eguy Rosario: Recalled from Triple-A
Rosario was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
Rosario has missed a large chunk of this season with an ankle injury, putting up a .770 OPS with four stolen bases when healthy. He's capable of playing all over the infield, although it's not clear how much playing time he'll ultimately receive down the stretch.

Jurickson Profar LF | ATL
Padres' Jurickson Profar: Officially back with Padres
The Padres selected Profar's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
Profar inked a minor-league deal with San Diego a week ago after being released by the Rockies and is now back in the big leagues with his former club. The veteran might find playing time harder to come by during this stint than he did the first time around with the Pads, but he'll offer the team another outfield option.

Victor Vodnik RP | MIA
Rockies' Victor Vodnik: Headed to majors
Vodnik will be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque prior to Friday's game versus the Giants, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Acquired from Atlanta in the Pierce Johnson trade, Vodnik holds a 3.35 ERA and 69:31 K:BB over 53.2 innings between the Double- and Triple-A level this season. The 23-year-old is a hard thrower, but his control is an issue. Vodnik will be making his major-league debut when he makes an appearance.

Austin Gomber SP | TEX
Rockies' Austin Gomber: Bound for injured list
Gomber (back) will be placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Friday's game in San Francisco, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Gomber has dealt with a nagging back issue lately, and the Rockies have apparently decided to shut him down. The left-hander will be eligible for activation Sept. 22, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready to rejoin the rotation at that time. Reliever Victor Vodnik is taking Gomber's spot on the roster.

Riley Adams C | WAS
Nationals' Riley Adams: Lands on IL with hamate fracture
Adams was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a fractured left hamate bone, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
Adams suffered the injury during Wednesday's win over the Mets and will require season-ending surgery. It's a bummer of an ending to what has been a nice season as a part-timer for the 27-year-old, as Adams produced a .273/.331/.476 slash line with four home runs in 44 games as Keibert Ruiz's understudy.

Luis Garcia 1B | NYY
Nationals' Luis Garcia: Returns to big leagues
Garcia was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
Garcia was sent down the minors in early August following a poor start to the second half, but he's being given another opportunity even though he slashed only .268/.315/.381 with one homer and two steals in 25 games for Rochester. The 23-year-old should receive regular starts at second base, at least against right-handed pitching.
