Toglia was removed from Friday's game against the Diamondbacks with a dislocated right shoulder, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Toglia dislocated his shoulder while making a diving catch in the first inning. The 28-year-old has been getting regular playing time since the Reds called him up from Triple-A last week, but he could now be facing a trip to the injured list.

Contreras went 1-for-2 with two walks and a three-run homer during the Red Sox's 6-4 win over the Giants on Friday.

Contreras got the Red Sox on the board in a big way with a two-out, three-run long ball over the Green Monster, sparking the Red Sox's five-run third inning. The veteran first baseman has already surpassed his career high in homers and is two RBI shy from matching his career best of 80 that he set in 2025 as a member of the Cardinals. Contreras' .937 OPS (across 483 plate appearances) is third-best among qualified hitters in the majors this season behind Yordan Alvarez (1.048) and Shohei Ohtani (.942).

Gray (16-3) earned the win against the Giants on Friday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings.

Gray didn't have his best stuff in Friday's outing, which was marred by a three-run fourth inning in which he gave up back-to-back homers to Drew Gilbert and Rafael Devers. However, Gray was able to complete six innings for a fifth consecutive start and received enough run support from his Red Sox teammates to log his 16th win of the season, which is tied with Cristopher Sanchez for most in the majors. Gray will take a 2.79 ERA and 1.16 WHIP (over 138.2 innings) into his next start, which is lined up for next week on the road against the Marlins.

Devers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run during the Giants' 6-4 loss to the Red Sox on Friday.

Friday night was Devers' return to Fenway Park and his first appearance in Boston since being traded to the Giants in June of 2025. He received a mix of boos and applause in his first plate appearance, but he silenced the Fenway faithful in the fourth, when he struck a towering long ball off Sonny Gray to center field to reduce the Giants' deficit to 5-4. It was the 26th home run of the season for Devers, who is inching closer to reaching the 30-homer mark for a second consecutive year and for the fifth time in his major-league career. On the season, he has a .796 OPS with 70 RBI across 542 plate appearance.

Dobbins was removed from Friday's game against the Phillies with right forearm tightness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Dobbins gave up three runs over four innings Friday and left the game with a trainer after throwing one pitch in the fifth inning. The Cardinals haven't provided any details regarding the severity of his injury, but more information could come after the game.

Contreras went 4-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

The Brewers managed only nine hits in total on the afternoon, all of them singles, but Contreras had no trouble solving Chris Sale and the Atlanta bullpen. The 28-year-old backstop has produced multiple hits in three of his last five games, an impressive turnaround after he began August with a .109/.255/.196 slash line over his first 13 contests. During his recent hot streak, Contreras is batting .450 (9-for-20) with a double, a homer, five runs and five RBI.

Megill recorded his 24th save of the season in Friday's 2-1 win over Atlanta, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

The right-hander fired an efficient 10 pitches (eight strikes) as he converted his 16th straight save opportunity, with his last blown chance coming June 5 at Coors Field. Megill has been scored upon in only one of 14 appearances since the All-Star break, posting a 0.64 ERA, 0.43 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB over 14 innings during that span. With Megill having pitched both Thursday and Friday, Brewers manager Pat Murphy may have to turn to someone else if the team has a late lead Saturday.

Misiorowski (13-5) picked up the win in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Atlanta, scattering four hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out six.

The 24-year-old right-hander came out on top in a battle of NL Cy Young contenders with Chris Sale. Misiorowski didn't allow a runner to get past second base, and he delivered his fourth straight quality start and 16th of the season on 96 pitches (55 strikes). Over six outings since the All-Star break, he's racked up a 3-1 record with a 1.85 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and dominant 49:6 K:BB over 34 innings. Miz will look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound, which is set to come at home next weekend against the Rangers.

Sale (12-9) took the loss Friday, allowing two runs on eight hits over six innings as Atlanta was downed 2-1 by the Brewers. He struck out six without walking a batter.

Matched up against Jacob Misiorowski in a battle of NL Cy Young contenders, Sale delivered his 16th quality start of the season on 94 pitches (68 strikes), but the veteran southpaw didn't get enough offensive support to avoid the loss. Sale has reeled off six straight quality starts since the All-Star break, posting a 2.19 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and stunning 49:3 K:BB in 37 innings over that stretch. Despite those impressive numbers, he'll look to snap a three-start losing streak in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Rockies.

Manager Dan Wilson said Friday that Woo (shoulder) will not start during Seattle's weekend series against the Cubs, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Woo was removed from his most recent start Sunday against Houston after feeling soreness in his right shoulder, and although he was able to throw his normal between-starts bullpen session Thursday, the M's are still going to give the 26-year-old some extra time to recover. Wilson noted that he's optimistic Woo won't have to spend time on the injured list, though it's unknown when his next start will be. Kade Anderson will come up from Double-A to make his MLB debut Saturday, and Bryce Miller will move up in the rotation to start Sunday's series finale.
