Coors Field, Denver, CO

Chris Taylor - Remains out of lineup FridayTaylor (neck) is not starting Friday against the Diamondbacks, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

ImpactTaylor will remain out of the starting nine for the third straight game, though he did appear in Thursday's win over Colorado as a pinch hitter. He has only made two starts in the last 11 games due to a sore neck, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to return to full health by the beginning of the postseason. Gavin Lux draws the start in center field Friday.

Ryan Vilade - Optioned back to AlbuquerqueVilade was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Connor Joe - Transferred to 60-day ILJoe (hamstring) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

ImpactThe club announced Wednesday that Joe's hamstring strain would keep him out for the remainder of the season, so Friday's move is merely a formality. Peter Lambert (elbow) was activated from the 60-day IL ahead of his Friday start and will take Joe's spot on the 40-man roster. Joe is expected to be ready for spring training.

Peter Lambert - Reinstated for Friday's startLambert (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list prior to his scheduled Friday start against the Giants.

ImpactThe club announced Lambert as Friday's starter earlier in the week, and now the club has made the move official by transferring Connor Joe (hamstring) to the 60-day IL and optioning Ryan Vilade to Triple-A Albuquerque. Lambert will be making his first start since 2019, when he went 3-7 with a 7.25 ERA and 1.74 WHIP. Per Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post, manager Bud Black said that he will be on a pitch count of approximately 60.

Cody Bellinger - Could take swings this weekendBellinger (ribs) may be able to resume swinging a bat this weekend, Matthew Moreno of Dodger Blue reports.

ImpactBellinger was placed on the10-day injured list with a non-displaced left rib fracture Tuesday, though the team had been on the fence about whether he needed an IL stint prior to the move. He could head to the team's spring-training site to log at-bats if he is able to take swings comfortably in the coming days. There seems to be a good chance that the 26-year-old will be able to make it back to the active roster before the end of the regular season, but he won't be eligible to return until Tuesday.
