Cardinals optioned INF/OF Thomas Saggese to Triple-A Memphis.

Saggese has really struggled with the bat in his limited time with the Cardinals this season, slashing a woeful .184/.244/.276 with just one homer and four RBI in 82 plate appearances. With Lars Nootbaar (heel) returning from the injured list on Friday, he was squeezed off of the active roster. He should get another opportunity with the big league club before the summer is through.

Phillies’ manager Don Mattingly told reporters on Friday that Jonathan Bowlan (groin) is not expected to land on the injured list.

The Phillies are hopeful that he’ll be able to return before the end of the regular season, so they’ll take it day-to-day for the time being. That means the Phillies’ bullpen will be shorthanded for remainder of their weekend series against the Mets in New York.

Yankees placed OF Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 17, with a right calf strain.

Judge will be eligible to return for the final game of the regular season next Sunday, but it remains unclear if he’ll be ready to return at that time. The Yankees’ priority will be to get him ready to go for the start of the postseason.

Cam Smith

HOU Right Fielder #11

Cam Smith is not in the Astros’ starting lineup for Friday night’s matchup against the Braves.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine night off for the 23-year-old outfielder. After homering in three straight games last week, Smith is just 1-for-20 (.050) with six strikeouts over his last six contests. Perhaps a day off to clear his head will do some good. LaMonte Wade Jr. will draw a start in his place and will bat eighth against Braves’ right-hander Tyler Mahle.

Dodgers optioned RHP Landon Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Knack spent just one day with the Dodgers this time around, firing four scoreless innings with a pair of strikeouts against the Reds on Thursday. His departure clears a spot on the Dodgers’ active roster for the return of Edwin Díaz on Friday.

Dodgers activated RHP Edwin Díaz from the 15-day injured list.

As anticipated, Díaz returns to the Dodgers’ bullpen for Friday night’s battle against the Giants. The expectation is that the Dodgers will ease him back into high-leverage situations, so fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to be a viable option for saves over the final 10 days of the regular season. Landon Knack was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move on Friday.

Hunter Goodman (thumb) returned to the Rockies’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Mariners.

Goodman missed each of the past three games due to soreness in his right thumb. He’s back behind the dish for the Rockies and batting cleanup against Mariners’ right-hander Bryan Woo. The 26-year-old slugger is just two home runs shy of eclipsing the 40-homer plateau for the first time in his career.

Joc Pederson (hand) is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Blue Jays.

It’s the fifth straight game that Pederson has missed due to a small fracture in his left hand. The Rangers remain hopeful that he’ll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, but time is running out. Josh Jung will function as the team’s designated hitter in his absence on Friday.

Dillon Dingler is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Friday’s battle against the White Sox.

Dingler has shouldered a heavy load for the Tigers this season and his offensive production has suffered down the stretch because of it, so giving him a few days off down the stretch seems prudent. Eduardo Valencia will start in his place behind the dish and will bat eighth against White Sox’ right-hander David Sandlin on Friday evening in Chicago.

Roden has appeared in 28 games for the Twins this season, slashing an underwhelming .254/.333/.313 with zero homers, 10 RBI and an 11/9 K/BB ratio in 79 plate appearances. He’ll add outfield depth over the final 10 days of the season with Trevor Larnach (wrist) landing on the injured list on Friday.

Twins placed OF Trevor Larnach on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 15, with a left wrist sprain.

Larnach went for an MRI on the wrist earlier in the week, the results of which are not yet known. While it’s not a certainty just yet, it’s likely that this will end Larnach’s season. Alan Roden was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move to take his place on the Twins’ active roster.
