Freeman, who has been battling a badly sprained right ankle, was scratched from the lineup in Wednesday's win-or-go-home Game 4 of the NLDS against the Padres. More >
Rojas was also out of the lineup for Game 4 of the NLDS. Rojas, who has been playing with a tear in his left adductor muscle for at least the past few weeks, aggravated the injury and was removed for a pinch-runner in the third inning of Game 3.
Grove was replaced by Ben Casparius on the NLDS roster due to a lingering "shoulder thing" that involves some inflammation, according to manager Dave Roberts. Grove is expected to undergo imaging in the area.
Kershaw (bone spur in big left toe) won't be available during the postseason, according to Roberts. More >
Jeff McNeil, Mets
The Mets successfully petitioned Major League Baseball to allow McNeil, who has been sidelined since Sept. 6 due to a fractured right wrist, to appear in AFL games as a way to see live pitching. He was scheduled to play on Friday and Saturday and receive as many at-bats as possible in those contests. More >
Xander Bogaerts and Joe Musgrove, Padres
Bogaerts is in the starting lineup for NLDS Game 3. After hitting a home run in the top of the eighth inning of Game 2 on Sunday, Bogaerts was removed from the game before the bottom of the inning due to hamstring cramps. More >
Padres general manager A.J. Preller announced Friday that Musgrove needs Tommy John surgery. The right-hander exited Wednesday's Game 2 win over the Braves in the NL Wild Card Series in the top of the fourth inning because of elbow tightness. More >
