  • Tyler Zuber RP | MIA

    Marlins' Tyler Zuber: Lands on IL

    The Marlins placed Zuber on the 15-day injured list Friday with a sprained right elbow.

    Zuber made his last appearance Tuesday, pitching a scoreless inning against the Cubs, and he'll now be shut down for the season because of his elbow injury. He'll finish 2026 with a 5.67 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through 39.2 innings. Wikelman Gonzalez was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Out of lineup Friday

    Raleigh is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Jhonny Pereda will step in behind the plate to catch for starter Bryce Miller, as Raleigh sits amid an 0-for-12 stretch. Raleigh is wrapping up one of the most disappointing follow-ups to an MVP-caliber season in recent memory, as he's slashing just .179/.294/.369 across 520 plate appearances in 2026.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Idle Friday

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

    Edman will move to the bench to begin Friday's contest after going 1-for-10 with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored during the Dodgers' last series against San Diego. Enrique Hernandez will fill in at second base and bat ninth.

  • Bo Davidson RF | SF

    Giants' Bo Davidson: In Friday's lineup

    Davidson (foot) will start in right field and bat fourth Friday against the Dodgers, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Davidson was pulled from Wednesday's game early after fouling a ball off his foot, but he appears to be feeling well enough to play after getting an extra day off Thursday. The 24-year-old outfielder has collected a base hit in each of his first three MLB games while adding two runs and a steal, but it may be harder for him to find success Friday against formidable lefty Tarik Skubal.

  • Liam Hicks C | TB

    Rays' Liam Hicks: On bench Friday

    Hicks is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Hicks will give way to Nick Fortes behind the plate against lefty Cristopher Sanchez, which is the norm for Tampa Bay against southpaws. The 27-year-old Hicks is enjoying a breakout campaign, and he's been even better by OPS with the Rays (.804) than he was with the Marlins to begin the year (.795).

  • Joc Pederson DH | TEX

    Rangers' Joc Pederson: Preparing to play in wild-card round

    Pederson (hand) took some swings in the batting cage Friday and is scheduled to face teammate Jack Leiter (ankle/biceps) in live batting practice this weekend, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    A small fracture in Pederson's left hand ended the 34-year-old's regular season, but it sounds like he's expecting to play Tuesday -- that is, if the Rangers are able to punch their ticket to the playoffs. Pederson put together a resurgent campaign with an .816 OPS and 26 homers after posting a .613 OPS with nine homers in 2025.

  • Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Resting Friday

    Chourio isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

    Chourio will get another chance to rest Friday after coming off the bench and going 1-for-1 with a solo homer, a walk, an additional run scored and a steal Thursday against the Phillies. Sal Frelick, Garrett Mitchell and Luis Lara will start across the outfield while Chourio sits.

  • Alika Williams SS | ATH

    Athletics' Alika Williams: Remaining out Friday

    Williams (upper body) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

    The A's scratched Williams from Thursday's lineup due to upper-body soreness, and he will miss at least one additional start as a result of the injury. With Joshua Kuroda-Grauer also on the bench, Donovan Walton will start at shortstop while Jeff McNeil shifts over to second base and Tommy White mans first against right-hander Hunter Brown.

  • Cooper Pratt SS | MIL

    Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Battling illness

    Pratt isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals due to an illness, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

    Pratt went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a steal in Thursday's series finale against Philadelphia, but he'll be unavailable to begin the Brewers' final series of the regular season as he recovers from an illness. David Hamilton will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Bryse Wilson RP | MIL

    Brewers' Bryse Wilson: Activated from IL

    The Brewers reinstated Wilson (back) from the injured list Friday.

    Wilson was initially expected to return from the injured list to pitch in Thursday's contest, but the Brewers instead chose to wait and give him another day to recover heading into their final regular-season series against the Cardinals. The 28-year-old righty hasn't pitched since Aug. 30 due to a lower-back strain, but he's posted a 2.55 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 24.2 innings across multiple stints with the Brewers this season. Lyon Richardson was DFA'd to make room for Wilson in Milwaukee's bullpen.
