Seigler went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Yankees.

Getting another start at second base, this time batting seventh against future Hall of Famer Gerrit Cole, Seigler got good wood on a 97.3-mph fastball in the second inning and lofted it the other way over the Green Monster. It was the first career homer for the 27-year-old in his 44th big-league game, and over eight straight starts for an injury-ravaged Red Sox infield, Siegler is batting .333 (9-for-27) with two doubles, two RBI and five runs in addition to Saturday's long ball.

Interim manager Chad Tracy said that Gonzalez (shoulder) won't be activated off the injured list before Saturday's game against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Gonzalez said earlier this week that he was aiming to return to the active roster Saturday. He'll ultimately fall short of his goal, though Tracy noted that the 29-year-old infielder still has a chance to return for Sunday's series finale, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. Gonzalez has gone 2-for-18 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored since beginning his rehab assignment June 16.

Chisholm isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

Chisholm has gone just 1-for-10 at the plate while facing a left-handed starter in each of his last three games, so the Yankees will move him to the bench to begin Saturday's matchup against southpaw Jake Bennett. Jose Caballero will cover second base while Anthony Volpe starts at shortstop.

Kiner-Falefa underwent a CT scan on his left forearm Thursday which revealed a stress reaction, MLB.com reports.

Kiner-Falefa, who was placed on the 10-day injured list June 20, had to wait for swelling to abate before undergoing the CT scan. The report indicates an expected return to be after the All-Star break.

Foscue served as the designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Foscue was prominent early, delivering a run on a first-inning single before launching a two-run homer in the third. This was Foscue's first appearance in the starting lineup in 11 games.

Frazier (elbow) resumed throwing Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Frazier has been on the shelf since early June due to right elbow inflammation. The veteran infielder has been hitting on the field, taking grounders and running for some time, and the progression to a throwing program puts him another step closer to a return. With that said, his role upon his activation is cloudy. The Angels have changed the look of their infield since Frazier's injury, with Christian Moore and Denzer Guzman both getting called up from the minors during that span and Donovan Walton putting up solid numbers while making frequent starts at second base.

Meidroth went 4-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 22-1 win over the Royals.

Meidroth drove in runs in the third and seventh innings en route to his first four-hit effort of the season. It continued a solid-yet-unspectacular June for the 24-year-old, who's hitting .293 with four extra-base hits, nine RBI and 11 runs scored through 21 games this month. On the season, he's slashing .276/.340/.384 with six home runs, 27 RBI, 47 runs scored and two steals across 331 plate appearances.

The Red Sox placed Mayer on the 10-day injured list Friday with a stress reaction in his left forearm, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Interim manager Chad Tracy said that Mayer's injury is something that he's been dealing with for a while, so the team will place him on the IL to allow him to heal properly. Tsung-Che Cheng will come up from Triple-A Worcester to fill the open roster spot and is likely to receive a handful of starts while Boston also navigates injuries to Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm) and Nick Sogard (oblique).

Lee is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

Though Zach McKinstry will cover second base Friday, Lee appears to have emerged as the Tigers' primary option at the keystone since Gleyber Torres aggravated a left oblique injury June 15 and landed back on the shelf. Lee had started at second base in eight of the Tigers' previous nine games, going 9-for-26 (.346 average) with two doubles, two runs and one RBI over that span.

Holliday (groin) is batting eight and playing second base Friday against the Nationals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Holliday is back in the starting lineup after opening the previous four games on the bench, though he was able to appear as a pinch hitter Wednesday against the Angels. Since making his season debut May 19, Holliday is slashing .198/.283/.384 with four homers, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored, three stolen bases and an 11:30 BB:K across 99 trips to the dish.
