Dunn was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates with right elbow discomfort, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Dunn went 1-for-2 with an RBI before coming out of the game in the sixth inning. The severity of his injury has yet to be determined, but the Reds could provide an update on his status after the game.

Tucker (back) will start in right field and bat sixth Friday against the Padres, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Tucker hasn't played since Monday due to back spasms, but he now seems to be feeling better following a few days of rest. He'll aim to turn things around in his return after going cold in June, slashing just .212/.321/.318 with two homers, 13 RBI, seven runs and two steals since the beginning of the month.

Hernandez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in St. Louis.

Hernandez started each of the previous three games -- including two versus righties -- but the right-handed hitter will begins Friday's series opener on the bench. Esteury Ruiz is in left field for the Marlins.

Frelick is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Cubs.

It's right-hander Colin Rea on the bump for the Cubs, but the left-handed-hitting Frelick will nonetheless begin the series opener on the bench. Jake Bauers is occupying right field for the Brewers, and Andrew Vaughn is in the lineup at first base.

Freeman is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Minnesota.

After starting each of the previous four contests in right field, Freeman will take a seat for Friday's series opener versus the Twins. The Rockies will go with Mickey Moniak, Cole Carrigg and Jake McCarthy in the outfield and Troy Johnston at designated hitter.

Bericoto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 9-6 loss to the Athletics.

Bericoto went yard to center field in the sixth inning, giving the Giants a 6-2 lead before the bullpen melted down. The 24-year-old outfielder has started back-to-back outings, homering in both contests. He's slashing .231/.231/.577 with four RBI and three long balls across 26 plate appearances this season.

The Mets activated Taylor (hip) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Taylor missed the last month of action while battling a hip flexor strain, but he's ready to roll after going 7-for-15 with a pair of home runs over four rehab games. The right-handed hitter will likely see most of his playing time versus southpaws as a short-side platoon partner for rookies A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge in the outfield.

Marsh went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, one walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Nationals.

Marsh's power surge continued Thursday, as he's now launched three homers in his past four games while collecting six RBI during that span. The Phillies have lacked consistency in the heart of their lineup in 2026, whether it be from Alec Bohm, J.T. Realmuto or Adolis Garcia (lat) before he got injured, but Marsh is coming through with a career season. Through 297 plate appearances, the 28-year-old outfielder is batting .324 with 12 big flies, 14 doubles, 41 RBI and eight stolen bases.

Crews went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.

The 24-year-old may finally be showing signs of living up to his draft billing after being the second overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. Crews has four multi-hit performances in the last six games, batting .400 (10-for-25) over that surge with two doubles, a homer, a steal, three RBI and eight runs. Crews also has a 0:7 BB:K during that stretch, and a 2:28 BB:K in 128 MLB plate appearances this season as plate discipline remains his biggest hurdle.

Ewing went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

The rookie center fielder swiped his eighth bag of the season, and his first since June 5, in the seventh inning with the game tied 3-3, but he was left stranded and the Mets never scored again. Ewing's enjoying a productive June, slashing .280/.353/.453 over 22 contests with seven doubles, two homers, four steals, eight runs and nine RBI.
