Holderman was forced to exit Thursday's rehab outing with Triple-A Columbus after aggravating his right wrist injury, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Holderman was in the final stages of his recovery from right wrist inflammation that caused him to land on the 15-day injured list. However, the 30-year-old relief pitcher has suffered a setback in his rehab program and will undergo more tests to determine next steps.

Caglianone is not in Friday's starting lineup against the Pirates due to a hand injury, Joel Goldberg of Royals.tv reports.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters Friday that Caglianone's hand injury occurred during a practice at-bat. The 23-year-old outfielder can be considered day-to-day for now and could be back in the lineup for Saturday's contest. Nick Loftin will start in right field in Caglianone's absence.

Ortiz is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.

Ortiz started each of the previous three contests against righties, but he will take a seat Friday as the Cardinals send right-hander Kyle Leahy to the bump. Yohandy Morales will play first base and will bat seventh for the Nationals.

Ruiz is not in the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.

Ruiz is slashing .310/.366/.451 in the second half but has been splitting reps at catcher with Harry Ford over the past several weeks. It will be Ford behind the dish and batting eighth in Friday's series opener.

Dingler is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

Dingler has been in a prolonged slump at the plate, as he's seen his OPS plummet more than 100 points since late July. Over his last 45 games, Dingler is slashing just .179/.224/.285 with five home runs, 22 RBI and a 7:51 BB:K across 192 plate appearances. Eduardo Valencia is starting at catcher and batting eighth Friday.

Alvarez is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Phillies.

Alvarez had a two-homer game earlier this month but has gone 4-for-30 at the plate since. He will yield to Luis Torrens at catcher Friday.

Ashcraft (arm) played catch Friday but is not expected to return this season, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Ashcraft landed on the 15-day injured list last week with right arm discomfort. He received multiple medical opinions and his injury is not considered serious, but the Pirates will not push the right-hander to return before the end of the season. Ashcraft had a breakout year for Pittsburgh, logging a 3.65 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 173:35 K:BB over 165.1 innings covering 28 starts.

The Twins recalled Roden from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

With Trevor Larnach (wrist) placed on the injured list, Roden figures to close out the 2026 season with the big club. He's appeared in 28 games with the Twins this season and has slashed .254/.333/.313 with four doubles, 10 RBI, six runs scored and a 9:11 BB:K across 79 plate appearances. Roden has posted an .853 OPS with St. Paul.

The Mets placed Young on the 7-day concussion injured list Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Young's season is over after he had to be taken off the field on a stretcher in Thursday's game versus the Phillies after taking a knee to the head on a play at first base. He is dealing with concussion symptoms including short-term memory loss and bad headaches, but interim manager Andy Green said that Young is doing "as good as expected or could be hoped for."

The Twins placed Larnach on the 10-day injured list Friday with left wrist soreness, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

Larnach's season is expected to be over, and Alan Roden has been recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Larnach hasn't played since last Sunday, and he'll likely close the book on his 2026 season with a .269/.352/.436 slash line with 13 home runs, 48 RBI, 57 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 45:79 BB:K across 433 trips to the plate.
