Polanco is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.

Polanco will begin Friday's contest on the bench while Cole Young starts at second base and bats ninth. Polanco has been hot at the plate since Sept. 1 with a .329/.375/.608 slash line with three home runs, 13 RBI, 13 doubles and 12 runs scored across 89 plate appearances.

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

Jarvis has been with Reno since early September, but he'll rejoin the 28-man roster Friday in place of Nabil Crismatt. Jarvis has posted a 6.10 ERA in 20.2 innings with Arizona this season and an 8.47 ERA in 78.2 innings for Reno.

Holmes will start Saturday's game against the Marlins, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Holmes has been working in tandem with Sean Manaea throughout September, but both threw one inning of relief Wednesday, meaning Saturday's contest could be more of a total bullpen game. Holmes had pitched between 3.2 and 4.2 innings in his other four appearances in September.

Hentges (shoulder) recently underwent arthroscopic right knee surgery, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Hentges developed soreness in the knee while rehabbing from September 2024 surgery to repair the capsule and labrum in his throwing shoulder. He's expected to need 3-to-4 months to recover, so on paper it shouldn't threaten Hentges' chances of being ready for the start of next season. However, that's assuming he doesn't encounter setbacks, which isn't a given as he works his way back from a pair of operations.

Smith is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Cleveland.

Smith returned to play the last two games after missing a couple days with an elbow infection, but he'll begin Friday's game on the bench. Ezequiel Duran will handle shortstop and bat fifth.

Lodolo (groin) will throw his regularly scheduled bullpen this weekend and will not require any further evaluation, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Lodolo was lifted from Thursday's start against the Pirates with a minor groin injury, but he's a full go for his regularly scheduled bullpen and isn't concerned about the injury. If the Reds reach the postseason, Lodolo would likely be ready to make a start next week.

Atlanta recalled Harris from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

Harris will provide manager Brian Snitker with another bullpen arm for the final series of the season versus the Pirates. The southpaw yielded one run over 2.2 relief innings earlier this month for Atlanta.

Atlanta optioned Waldrep to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

Waldrep made his final start of the season Tuesday against the Nationals, so Atlanta will replace him on the roster with reliever Hayden Harris. The 23-year-old right-hander should be locked into Atlanta's 2026 rotation after collecting a 2.88 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 55:22 K:BB in 56.1 innings this season.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

Fortes will yield to Hunter Feduccia behind the dish Friday. Feduccia has now started three of the Rays' last four games and four straight against right-handed pitchers.

Dobbins (knee) is on track to have a normal offseason and be 100 percent for the start of spring training, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Dobbins underwent surgery in July to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. His recovery from the operation seems to be going off without a hitch and t's not expected to limit him next spring, barring any setbacks. The righty could compete for a spot in Boston's rotation in 2026.
