The Federal Aviation Administration and United Airlines are investigating an incident involving the Colorado Rockies during a chartered flight from Denver to Toronto.

In a since-deleted video posted to social media, Rockies hitting coach Hensley Meulens is seen sitting in a pilot's seat in the cockpit while the plane is in flight.

"Had some fun in the cockpit on our flight from Denver to Toronto. Thanks to the captain and the first officer of our United charter that allowed me this great experience," Meulens wrote in a caption for the social media post.

Texas Rangers rookie right-hander Jack Leiter was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, one day after allowing seven runs in his major league debut.

The Rangers recalled right-hander Owen White from Round Rock to provide bullpen depth for the start of their weekend series against the Atlanta Braves.

Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks will make his scheduled start against the Miami Marlins on Sunday, but the team is concerned about the veteran's start to the season.

Hendricks, 34, is 0-2 with a 12.71 ERA over four outings that includes a league-high seven home runs allowed.

"It's not one or two starts," Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said Friday morning. "It's been four, so I think there is a level of concern, but I would also say, given his track record and given the fact that he's gotten through some struggles in the past, this isn't the first time he's struggled. No one pitches in the big leagues and doesn't have those struggles at some point."

The Boston Red Sox continue to battle injury woes, with third baseman Rafael Devers dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee and outfielder Tyler O'Neill going on the injury list after the two collided during Monday's game.

Devers, a two-time All-Star, underwent an MRI on Thursday. He left Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians with knee discomfort and served as designated hitter during Wednesday's game, going hitless in four at-bats with three strikeouts.

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Aroldis Chapman has been suspended two games and fined an undisclosed amount for "inappropriate actions" during Monday's game against the New York Mets, MLB announced Thursday.

The Cleveland Guardians acquired right-hander Pedro Avila from the San Diego Padres for cash on Wednesday.

In a corresponding move, the Guardians transferred infielder Angel Martinez to the 60-day injured list.

The Colorado Rockies placed veteran Kris Bryant on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a low back strain.

Bryant, 32, is batting just .149 through 13 games this season with one home run, six RBIs and 18 strikeouts. The move is retroactive to Sunday.

San Diego Padres ace Yu Darvish landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with neck tightness.

The Padres' Opening Day starter, Darvish last pitched Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits in five innings in a no-decision against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers. The 37-year-old right-hander's designation is retroactive to Monday.

Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander will make his season debut Friday night at the Washington Nationals.

Houston manager Joe Espada made the announcement Wednesday.

"Getting him back is huge because it brings a level of confidence to our team, a boost of confidence that we're going to get someone who's been an MVP, a Cy Young [winner] on the mound," Espada said. "It's [good] for the morale and to get stuff started and moving in the right direction."

Ozzie Albies has been placed by the Atlanta Braves on the 10-day injured list with a fractured big toe on his right foot.

"It's a freak injury, and there's nothing I can do it," Albies said. "Just makes sure I heal fast, and I'm ready to go."

Albies wore a walking boot Tuesday. He said he didn't realize he was injured until he took off his shoe Monday night and was taken for X-rays by a trainer.

"I'm sure once he got inside and the adrenaline stopped flowing and the game juices and all that, you're just seeing him limp around and got pretty sore," Snitker said. "I'm sure that wasn't real comfortable out there."
