Conine went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 3-0 win over Atlanta.

Conine provided some late insurance with a 402-foot blast in the eighth inning. The 29-year-old is looking to finish strong, having homered three times over his past nine games. On the season, he's slashing .261/.352/.486 with 18 home runs, 41 RBI, 44 runs scored and four steals across 315 plate appearances.

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.

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.

The Brewers recalled Lockridge from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Lockridge will return to Milwaukee for the final series of the regular season following Andrew Vaughn's (illness) move to the injured list. Lockridge has slashed .273/.345/.313 across 111 plate appearances with the big club this season and posted a .707 OPS over his final 20 games at Nashville after being sent down to Triple-A in mid-August.

Carrigg is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

It's the first day off this month for Carrigg, who went 4-for-5 with his 11th home run of the season in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks. The Rockies will roll out Mickey Moniak, Jake McCarthy and Troy Johnston in the outfield Friday.

Church is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Milwaukee.

It will be the first day off since Aug. 23 for Church, who is slashing .295/.340/.400 during that stretch. Victor Scott will grab a rare start in center field and will bat ninth for the Cardinals in Friday's series opener.

Happ is not in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader in Boston.

Happ is likely to be back in there for the second game of the twin bill, but he'll begin the first tilt on the bench. Tyrone Taylor will play left field and will bat cleanup for the Cubs.

Tatis went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and two stolen bases in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.

Tatis is up to 38 steals this season, including seven over his last 16 games. He's also batting .369 (24-for-65) with eight extra-base hits in that span. If Tatis keeps running over the weekend against the Diamondbacks, he'll have a chance to reach 40 steals for the first time. He's batting .289 with an .828 OPS, 25 home runs, 82 RBI, 95 runs scored, 31 doubles and three triples over 157 contests this year.

Happ went 1-for-3 with a walk, a triple and a run scored in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.

Happ extended his modest hitting streak to four games with his third triple of the season. The veteran outfielder is batting just .228 this month, though he's sporting a strong .353 on-base percentage, which is above his .330 mark for the season. With the Cubs officially clinching their spot in the playoffs with Thursday's win, Happ may get some time off over the next few days, but he should be a lineup regular once the postseason begins.

Carrigg went 4-for-5 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 12-8 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Carrigg made things interesting in the seventh inning Thursday with a three-run, 404-foot blast off Dennis Santana, his 11th homer this season, that cut Colorado's deficit to 12-6. Carrigg's been hot down the stretch, going 17-for-43 (.395) with four long balls in his last 10 games. Overall, the 24-year-old rookie is slashing .276/.340/.469 with 51 RBI, 47 runs scored and 11 steals across 361 plate appearances this year.
