Manny Machado reaches three times in victory

Edman had started in each of the Dodgers’ last five games, but he’ll get a breather in this one as we head into the final weekend of the regular season. Enrique Hernandez will draw a start at second base and will bat ninth against Giants’ right-hander Yunior Marte.

It looks to be just a routine breather for Raleigh as we head into the final weekend of the regular season. Jhonny Pereda will start in his place behind the dish and will bat seventh against Angels’ southpaw Reid Detmers. Expect to see Raleigh back behind the dish on Saturday.

It’s the second straight game that Williams has missed due to upper extremity soreness. He’s still considered day-to-day. Donovan Walton will start in his place at shortstop and will bat sixth for the A’s against Astros’ ace Hunter Brown on Friday evening in West Sacramento.

The 31-year-old righty was designated for assignment on Wednesday and passed through waivers unclaimed. He’ll continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Guardians.

If all goes well with that session, Pederson is hoping that he’ll be available for the start of the Wild Card series on Tuesday — provided the Rangers make it to the postseason. The 34-year-old slugger has been shelved since mid-September due to a small fracture in his left hand.

It’s the second straight game that the 22-year-old outfielder has been held out of the Brewers’ lineup, though he did pinch-hit on Thursday where he walked, stole a base and scored a run. Chourio has had another outstanding season at the dish, slashing .285/.345/.483 with 25 homers, 71 RBI and 23 stolen bases over 563 plate appearances across 124 contests.

With Dalton Rushing returning from the injured list on Friday, someone needed to get the boot from the team’s bench to make room and unfortunately Freeland pulled the short straw this time around. The 25-year-old infielder has slashed .234/.327/.325 with four homers, 21 RBI and four stolen bases in 269 plate appearances with the Dodgers on the season.

As anticipated, Rushing rejoins the Dodgers for the final weekend of the regular season. He’s still unable to throw without pain and will be limited to designated hitter duty and pinch hitting, which may not be enough to earn him a spot on the Dodgers’ roster to open the postseason. Alex Freeland was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move on Friday.

The Brewers needed to clear a spot in their bullpen for the return of Bryse Wilson (back) on Friday and unfortunately, it looks like Richardson drew the short straw this time around. The 26-year-old hurler appeared in just one game during his time with the Brewers, hurling 1 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball. Last time the Brewers DFA’d him, Richardson wound up re-signing on a minor league contract and the same thing could happen this time around as well.

Wilson had been sidelined since the end of August due to a lower back strain. Before landing on the injured list, he had posted a 3.67 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 30/3 K/BB ratio over 34 1/3 innings of work. He’ll give manager Pat Murphy another weapon to deploy in the middle innings.
