Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ collected the only two hits of the day for this offense. It was a tough day for all of the Cubs hitters against right-hander Freddy Peralta.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward and relievers Aaron Loup and Ryan Tepera were all placed on the injured list on Friday ahead of the team's weekend series in Toronto against the Blue Jays.

The Miami Marlins reinstated first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (concussion) from the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday and designated first baseman Jesus Aguilar for assignment in a corresponding move.

Mickey Moniak Is Taking Swings

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (finger) is taking dry swings after breaking his left middle finger while attempting to bunt.

[…]

New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader (foot) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday. He has been sidelined since June 27 and is on track to return to the lineup sometime in September. The move to the 60-day injured list shouldn't impact his recovery timetable.

Kyle Tucker Out Thursday With Foot Injury

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (foot) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins due to a foot injury.

The Los Angeles Angels moved infielder Jared Walsh (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list on Thursday, which will officially end his 2022 season after he was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome.
