Davidson was just briefly called up this week after the Marlins relief corps was taxed following a doubleheader.

Happ returned to the heart of Chicago’s batting order after a brief two-game absence due to a left heel contusion. The 31-year-old left fielder has delivered top-30 fantasy value in the early portion of the season, hitting .233 (10-for-43) with four homers and seven RBI through 11 contests.

There was some real concern after Realmuto fouled a ball off his foot earlier this week, but he managed to avoid serious injury. The 35-year-old veteran backstop is hitting .241 (7-for-29) with one homer and one RBI in 10 games this season.

Correa was back at third base and hitting sixth on Friday evening in Seattle following a two-game absence due to illness. The 31-year-old infielder is batting .261 (12-for-46) with one homer, nine RBI and one steal through 12 games.

Jung was back at third base and hitting ninth following a two-game absence due to some minor physical issues. The 28-year-old could appeared to be on the verge of losing some starts to Ezequiel Duran or Josh Smith prior to Wyatt Langford getting hurt.

Glasnow took Kumar Rocker deep twice in the first four innings, but he saved his biggest blow for the ninth, hitting a solo homer with two outs off lefty Jacob Latz. It was Muncy’s second career three-homer game and first with five runs scored, as he also crossed home plate after a single and reaching on a forceout. He entered the night with just one RBI in 11 games, and he still hasn’t plated anyone besides himself, as all of tonight’s homers were solo shots. However, he has scored 11 runs for the 10-3 Dodgers.

Glasnow left with a one-run lead and was in line for the win until Edwin Díaz blew the save in the ninth. His bad inning tonight was the third, when he gave up singles to Josh Smith and Brandon Nimmo before Corey Seager hit a three-run homer. He’ll still be a fine play next week in Colorado against the Rockies.

Díaz coughed up the lead in a ninth that saw him give up four hits, including a homer to Evan Carter. It’s his first blown save after converting four chances for the Dodgers but also his first win. Since he didn’t work either of the previous two days, he’ll probably be back out there if a save situation presents itself Saturday.

Rocker, who gave up two homers to Max Muncy, induced just eight misses on 41 swings and had a 19-percent CSW tonight. He seems like a weak play next week against the A’s in Sacramento.

That’s a nice turnaround after Pages, the NL Player of the Week last week, went 3-for-12 with six strikeouts in the three-game series against the Blue Jays. All three of his balls in play tonight were hit at least 100 mph, though his homer, a 396-foot shot to center, would have left just nine of the 30 ballparks, according to Statcast.

Carter’s homer was a 373-footer that would have left 17 parks, according to Statcast. He’s not off to a particularly strong start at .237/.341/.395 in 44 plate appearances, but his EV numbers are a little bit better than usual. He’ll probably be mixed-league relevant if he stays healthy, but he has, of course, had major difficulties in that department.
