Carroll (hip) will serve as Arizona's designated hitter and bat second against the Phillies on Saturday.

Carroll tweaked his hip while running the bases Wednesday, but he's now set to return to the starting nine following a couple of days off. The 25-year-old outfielder has been on fire to start the season, slashing .333/.408/.690 across 49 plate appearances and logging seven hits over his last three games.

The Mets selected Kimbrel's contract from Single-A St. Lucie on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Kimbrel reported to Single-A to begin the regular season after failing to win a roster spot out of spring training. He struck out two batters over two shutout frames at St. Lucie, and he'll now claim a spot in the Mets' bullpen. The 37-year-old's days of working as a closer are likely behind him, especially with Devin Williams on the roster, but Kimbrel could still be an effective middle reliever after putting up a 2.25 ERA across 12 innings between Houston and Atlanta last season.

Hurter tossed a scoreless inning of relief with a strikeout and earned a hold in Friday's 2-0 win over the Marlins.

After six scoreless innings from starter Keider Montero, Hurter kept things going with a scoreless seventh ahead of setup man Kyle Finnegan and closer Kenley Jansen. Hurter has been decently effective in his middle-relief role so far with a 3.00 ERA across his first six appearances of the season, and Friday's hold was his first of the year. The lefty has also earned a single win in relief to date.

Finnegan worked around a walk to toss a scoreless inning of relief and earn a hold in Friday's 2-0 win over the Marlins.

Finnegan worked the eighth inning in front of new Detroit closer Kenley Jansen, and the former continued his unblemished start to the season. Finnegan has strung together six straight scoreless appearances, though he has walked seven batters versus only three strikeouts across 5.1 innings. Finnegan may not record many saves with Jansen around, but he has two holds so far and should remain a consistent contributor in that category.

Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 11-5 loss to Atlanta.

Manzardo popped his first home run of the season in the fourth inning. The Guardians expected to see Manzardo take a next step in 2026, but he's off to a slow start. He entered Friday batting .086 (3-for-35) with one RBI and a 34.1 strikeout percentage.

Stott went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

The second baseman swiped his third bag of the year after being hit by a pitch to lead off the sixth inning. Stott has a shaky .179/.238/.205 slash line through 11 games to begin the season, but he appears to be one adjustment at the plate away from going on a tear -- his hard-hit rate of 48.3 percent is by far a career high and almost 20 points better than 2025, but his 4.7 degree launch angle is over 10 degrees lower than last season, leading to a career-high 51.7 percent groundball rate so far.

Luzardo (1-2) took the loss Friday as the Phillies fell 5-4 to the Diamondbacks, coughing up five runs on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out eight.

The southpaw had a no-hitter going through four innings, but the wheels came off quickly for Luzardo in the fifth after a leadoff single by Jose Fernandez. His tendency to lose focus in key moments continues to hold Luzardo back despite his obvious talent -- he has a 1.15 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB in 17.1 innings through three starts to begin the season, but somehow that's led to a 6.23 ERA. He'll try to rebound in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Cubs.

Ferguson (oblique) threw a bullpen session Thursday that went well and he is scheduled for another one Sunday, MLB.com reports.

If all goes well in Sunday's session, Ferguson could progress to facing live batters Tuesday. The next step beyond that would be a rehab assignment.

Lodolo (blister) threw a 10-pitch bullpen session Thursday at less than full intensity, MLB.com reports.

Lodolo's session was described as going well, and the left-hander is scheduled for another one Sunday. The blister reared itself late in spring training and affected Lodolo's rehab start earlier this month.

Sewald gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his fourth save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Phillies. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

The veteran right-hander has looked good to begin his second stint as the Diamondbacks' closer. Sewald has converted all four of his save chances so far, and through 5.1 innings he sports a 3.38 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 7:0 K:BB.
