The Reds placed Friedl on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained left hamstring, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Friedl hasn't played since being removed from Tuesday's game against Boston. He's already begun doing field work alongside a bit of running, so he shouldn't require much more than a minimum stint on the IL, but that still means Friedl will be held out for another week or so. The 27-year-old outfielder is currently slashing .326/.377/.496 with 20 RBI through 158 plate appearances.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes was the star of the Big Slick Kansas City celebrity softball game hosted by the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, proving himself a triple threat as a slugger, pitcher, and shortstop. Mahomes, the son of former MLB pitcher Pat Mahomes, played baseball growing up and was taken by the Detroit Tigers in the 37th round of the 2014 MLB Draft.

DeAndre Hopkins has been a free agent for more than a week, yet the teams pursuing the five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver are limited to this point. The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills were reportedly active in acquiring Hopkins prior to his release and are believed to still have interest in signing him. The Bills confirmed their desire in adding the All-Pro receiver who is big fan of their quarterback, Josh Allen.

Herget was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Monday. Herget holds a 4.79 ERA over 12 relief appearances for the Reds this season, although that high ERA is largely the result of one particularly bad outing. He's clearing out to make room for Andrew Abbott on the roster.

Philadelphia, PA

PHILADELPHIA -- Throughout the process of learning right guard last season, Cam Jurgens had the benefit of shadowing Isaac Seumalo as he was getting accustomed to a new position. The Philadelphia Eagles had Jason Kelce at center, so Jurgens took right guard reps in training camp in order for more position versatility.

Denver, CO

Porter supplied five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and six rebounds over 26 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Although Porter was one of the heroes in Denver's Game 1 win, he was unable to get many shots to fall Sunday. Porter's five points matched his second-worst scoring total of the season, and although Nikola Jokic posted a huge 41-point total to pick up the slack, the Porter's production was sorely missed.

Stephenson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-0 win over Milwaukee. Offense was scarce in the contest, and Stephenson accounted for one of two total runs with his fourth-inning solo blast. The long ball was his first since May 13, a span of 19 games. Stephenson has struggled since that previous homer, batting .189 with 24 strikeouts and just 14 hits over 74 at-bats.

Walker isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against Atlanta. Having recorded a base hit in six of his last seven games, Walker will get a breather Saturday. Emmanuel Rivera will start at first base instead and bat fifth.

Seattle, WA

Ford, called up from Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day, went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Rangers on Friday. The 30-year-old drew the start at designated hitter and was able to contribute a single in his first taste of big-league action this season. Ford generated a lackluster .206/.302/.313 slash line across 149 plate appearances with a whopping four major-league teams in 2022, and even with his success thus far this minor-league season in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, it remains to be seen how much he can contribute outside of the occasional power numbers.

Texas State

Crawford suffered a knee injury in the eighth inning of Saturday's loss to the Rangers but he plans to play against Texas on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Crawford suffered the knee injury while making a dive into second base and colliding with Leody Taveras. While Crawford was able to stay in the game, it was clear the shortstop was dealing with soreness. If the pain doesn't subside, he may sit out a game, but for now Crawford should be considered likely to be in the lineup for Sunday's finale against the Rangers.

Miami, FL

The Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets will square off in Game 3 of the 2023 NBA Finals on Wednesday night as the series shifts to Miami. The Heat evened up the series after outlasting the Denver Nuggets in a 111-108 win in Game 2 on Sunday. The Nuggets led for most of the game, but the Heat used a 36-25 fourth quarter to come away with a win and head back to Miami with some momentum.

St. Louis designated Barrera for assignment Saturday, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Barrera will move off the 40-man roster after appearing in six games with St. Louis following his May 6 promotion from Triple-A Memphis. He went hitless in his two at-bats with the club. The Cardinals will announce a corresponding transaction before Sunday's game against the Pirates.

The Astros plan to promote Kessinger from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Mark Berman of Fox 26 reports. Kessinger was a second-round pick in 2019 and will be in line to make his major-league in the coming days. The 25-year-old began the 2023 campaign at Triple-A Sugar Land and slashed .284/.400/.443 with six homers, 37 runs, 32 RBI and two stolen bases. Kessinger's playing time will likely depend on whether Jose Altuve (oblique) is available for the start of the Astros' upcoming series in Toronto.
