Bohm went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a solo home run during Friday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

The Phillies couldn't get to Chris Sale on Friday with the exception of Bohm, who drove in an RBI double in the second inning before taking the veteran southpaw deep to left field for a 358-foot solo homer in the fourth. Bohm has multi-hit games in back-to-back outings and has gone 18-for-57 (.316) with 15 RBI, four extra-base hits and 12 runs scored over his last 15 games.

Bichette went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-6 win over the Giants.

Bichette walked and scored in the first inning before adding a two-run shot in the second. The 26-year-old has now hit safely in five straight games, recording four extra-base hits and scoring five runs in that span. For the year, he's slashing .266/.315/.400 with 15 homers, 68 RBI, 69 runs scored and two steals across 597 plate appearances.

Whitcomb is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

Whitcomb has started 10 of 11 games since being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 24, but he's yet to take advantage of the playing time with a .431 OPS in 38 plate appearances with the Giants. Osleivis Basabe will handle the hot corner while Nate Furman picks up a start at second base Friday.

Muncy is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals.

The Cardinals have southpaw Quinn Mathews taking the mound to begin Thursday's game, so the left-handed bat of Muncy will take a seat. Enrique Hernandez has the start at the hot corner and is batting ninth.

The Marlins designated Jimenez for assignment Thursday.

Jimenez has struggled to a .199 batting average and .565 OPS across 194 plate appearances this season, and he'll now lose his place on both the active and 40-man rosters to make room for Deyvison De Los Santos. Jimenez has never been viewed as much of an offensive threat, but his defensive versatility could be valued by teams browsing the waiver wire for bench depth.

Urias (elbow) entered as a pinch hitter and stayed in for defense in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.

Urias had to be removed from Tuesday's game after he felt soreness in his elbow on a check swing. He's missed much of this season with tennis elbow in both arms and seems unlikely to be 100 percent at any point down the stretch, but Urias should be available again Thursday, if needed.

Whitcomb went 1-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Pirates.

Whitcomb hit a leadoff double in the fifth inning, marking his second two-bagger of the season. The 27-year-old has appeared in 10 straight games since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 24, batting .118 with three RBI, two runs scored and a home run in 36 plate appearances during that time. Across 60 plate appearances between Houston and San Francisco this season, he's slashing .123/.138/.316 with eight RBI, four runs scored and three long balls.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a home run and four total RBI in Wednesday's 9-5 loss to the Brewers.

Bregman hit his 24th home run of the season in the first inning, a two-run shot against Milwaukee ace Jacob Misiorowski. The veteran third baseman just wrapped up a tremendous month of August and is carrying momentum into September. He has been on a power surge as well with eight long balls in his last 12 games. Bregman is certainly heating up at the right time for fantasy managers who have stayed patient all year.

Baty went 1-for-2 with a three-run double during the Mets' 10-4 win over the Rays on Wednesday.

Baty doubled the Mets' 3-0 lead in the third inning with a bases-clearing double off Griffin Jax. It was Baty's fifth game of at least three RBI this season and second since Aug. 1. Since the All-Star break, he is slashing .229/.281/.434 with four home runs and 12 RBI across 89 plate appearances.

Karros has cleared concussion protocol and will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Hartford on Thursday, Eli Whitney of Blake Street Banter reports.

Karros has been on the 7-day injured list twice since mid-August, which is worrisome, but he appears to be in the clear now. He is slated to remain with Hartford through the end of the weekend. If all goes well, Karros appears poised for a return to the Rockies' active roster next week as the club begins a road trip.
