Mikolas (8-11) took the loss against the Cubs on Friday, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk with four strikeouts over five innings.

All four runs against Mikolas came via the long ball, leaving him with a career-high 29 homers allowed on the season. The 37-year-old saw a streak of five straight outings allowing two earned runs or fewer come to an end in what may have been his final appearance in a Cardinals uniform. He'll head into free agency after finishing the 2025 campaign with a 4.84 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 100:37 K:BB across 156.1 innings.

Moniak isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

After stringing together a 10-game on-base streak, Moniak will get a chance to rest his legs Friday while Jordan Beck, Brenton Doyle and Yanquiel Fernandez start in the outfield for Colorado.

Bernabel isn't in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Giants.

Bernabel started Wednesday during his first game back from the injured list, but he'll now head to the bench for a second consecutive day while Blaine Crim starts at first base.

Rea (11-7) earned the win against the Cardinals on Friday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out seven over 5.2 scoreless innings.

Rea was sharp, pounding the zone with 56 of 77 pitches for strikes and racking up 13 whiffs. The 35-year-old snapped a winless skid dating back to Aug. 20 despite having now limited opponents to three earned runs or fewer in each of his past five outings. He closes the regular season with a career-best 3.95 ERA to go along with a 1.25 WHIP and 127:44 K:BB across 159.1 innings.

The Diamondbacks recalled Hoffmann from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Hoffmann hasn't pitched in the minors since Sept. 4 due to complications with his elbow, but he is evidently feeling well enough to help the Diamondbacks' bullpen during the final series of the regular season. The 25-year-old carries a 6.55 ERA and 2.00 WHIP through 11 innings in the majors this year and likely won't pitch outside of low-leverage situations while with Arizona.

Meyers was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game versus the Angels due to right calf soreness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Meyers missed nearly two months earlier in the season due to right calf problems, and he appears to have aggravated the injury prior to Friday's contest. While he takes a day to recover, Zach Cole will shift to center field, and Cam Smith will start in right for the Astros.

Beavers was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees with right shin discomfort, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Beavers fouled a ball off his lower leg during his at-bat in the fourth inning and was replaced on defense once the O's took the field in the bottom of the frame. The severity of the outfielder's injury isn't immediately clear, but with just two games remaining in the regular season, it's possible the team could keep Beavers on the bench to close out the year as a precaution.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Muncy has been dealing with a lower-body injury over the past couple of days, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The skipper noted that Muncy's injury has been affecting his swing, which explains why the slugging third baseman is set to miss a second consecutive start Friday. It remains unknown whether he'll make it back to the starting nine before the end of the regular season, but Muncy doesn't seem to be at risk of missing the start of Los Angeles' postseason run.

Canzone is starting in right field and batting seventh against the Dodgers on Friday.

Canzone will enter the Mariners' starting nine after Victor Robles (undisclosed) was scratched from the lineup. Canzone has gone 7-for-19 (.368) with one home run, three RBI and four runs scored over his last six games.

Robles (undisclosed) was scratched from the Mariners' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.

The reason for Robles' removal from the lineup has yet to be announced, but Dominic Canzone will start in right field and bat seventh. Robles entered Friday's game having gone 11-for-49 (.224) with two steals, eight runs, one homer and four RBI in the 18 games since returning from his seven-game suspension Sept. 6.
