MLB Player News

Kim (back) isn't expected to return from the 10-day injured list until at least Monday when team rosters expand to 28 players, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Kim has played just 29 major-league games this season due to multiple injuries, most recently lower-back inflammation that landed him on the 10-day IL on Aug. 21. He's eligible to return from the IL on Sunday, but the Rays will wait to bring back the 29-year-old shortstop until at least Monday. Carson Williams has played well since making his major-league debut Aug. 22, but it's unclear what his role will be once Kim has returned.

The Pirates placed Suwinski on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right groin strain.

Suwinski went 1-for-3 with a strikeout during Pittsburgh's game against the Cardinals on Thursday, but he'll now be forced to sit out at least the next 10 days nursing an injured groin. While he recovers, Ronny Simon will come up from Triple-A Indianapolis to replenish the Buccos' outfield depth.

Ritter is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Cubs on Friday.

Ritter will ride the bench for a third consecutive game, despite going 10-for-34 (.294) with five RBI since returning from the 10-day IL on Aug. 15. Orlando Arcia will start at second base and bat ninth.

The Pirates recalled Sisk from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Sisk was optioned to the minors last Wednesday, but he'll now return to the big leagues to replace Kyle Nicolas, who went on the bereavement list Friday. Sisk has appeared in nine MLB games this season between the Royals and Pirates, giving up four earned runs while striking out 15 batters and walking six over 8.2 innings.

The Padres placed Bogaerts on the 10-day injured list Friday with a non-displaced fracture in his left foot.

Bogaerts fouled a ball off the foot during Wednesday's game in Seattle. He stayed in to finish out that contest, but testing revealed a fracture. The Padres have not yet revealed a timetable for Bogaerts' return, but the injury has the potential to knock him out for most, if not all, of the regular season. Jose Iglesias will take over as the team's primary shortstop.

The Padres recalled McCoy from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

McCoy will fill in for Xander Bogaerts (foot), who's being placed on the 10-day injured list. McCoy has gone hitless in five plate appearances with the Padres this season, but he's logged an .804 OPS with 11 homers and 17 stolen bases with El Paso. McCoy will likely compete with Jose Iglesias for starts at the shortstop position.

The Pirates placed Nicolas on the bereavement list Friday.

Nicolas will be permitted to miss 3-7 games while he tends to more important matters. Evan Sisk was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move and will take Nicolas' place in Pittsburgh's bullpen.

Freeman is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Cubs on Friday.

Freeman will be on the bench for the start of Friday's game while Yanquiel Fernandez serves as the designated hitter and bats eighth. Freeman has slashed .245/.311/.319 with 10 runs scored, five steals, one home run and seven RBI in 102 plate appearances since Aug. 1.

Bogaerts is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Minnesota after fouling a ball off his left foot during Wednesday's in Seattle, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan San Diego reports.

The Padres haven't said the foot issue is the reason Bogaert's isn't starting Friday, but it would make sense for him to be rested if he's still a bit sore. The club could have more on his condition later Friday. Jose Iglesias is handling shortstop and batting seventh in Friday's series opener.

The Rockies reinstated Marquez (biceps) from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Cubs.

Marquez will return from nearly a five-week absence due to right biceps tendinitis. The veteran right-hander worked up to 76 pitches in his last minor-league rehab start, and he should be cleared to handle a full workload. Marquez has a better ERA at Coors Field (5.31) than he does on the road (5.95) this season.
