Gimenez went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a steal, and an additional run scored in Friday's win versus Pittsburgh.

The Cleveland second baseman slugged a 375-foot solo shot off Carmen Mlodzinski in the fifth inning for his sixth long ball of the year. Gimenez later swiped second base in the seventh to collect his ninth steal in the month of August and 25th of the season. The 25-year-old is now slashing .254/.305/.333 with 57 runs scored and 53 RBI across 528 plate appearances.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Houston.

Frazier will yield to Tyler Gentry in right field Friday against Framber Valdez and the Astros. Frazier has just one hit in his last 16 at-bats.

Massey is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Houston.

Massey will avoid a same-hand matchup with lefty Framber Valdez on Friday. Maikel Garcia will play second base while Nick Loftin slots in at DH.

Baldwin is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Mets.

Baldwin looks to have fallen out of a regular job, as he's been out of the lineup now for three straight games and four times over the last six contests. Jacob Amaya is at shortstop and Nicky Lopez is at second base for the White Sox in the series opener.

The Royals recalled Loftin from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

Loftin will replace Vinnie Pasquantino (thumb) on the active roster as Pasquantino heads to the injured list. Loftin has been with Omaha since July 30 and has slashed .199/.294/.248 with Kansas City this season, although he has a .358/.436/.494 line at Triple-A in August. The 25-year-old might see plenty of work at first base, though the Royals should also give Salvador Perez opportunities at the position.

Keith is on the bench for Friday's game against Boston.

After going 0-for-10 during Detroit's three-game set with the Angels, Keith will get Friday off to clear his head. In his place, Zach McKinstry will play second base and bat seventh.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against San Diego.

The lefty-hitting Lowe will dodge a matchup with southpaw Martin Perez on Saturday, In Lowe's place, Jose Caballero will play second base while Taylor Walls slots in at shortstop.

The White Sox placed Lopez on waivers Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

In his first season with the Southsiders, Lopez has slashed .238/.310/.290 with five steals, 33 runs and 17 RBI across 387 plate appearances. The other 29 clubs now have the opportunity to add the 29-year-old to their roster for the final month of the season and pay what's left of his $4.3 million salary. However, his poor performance makes it likely that he passes through waivers unclaimed and remains with the Sox.

Frazier is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Houston.

Frazier had started each of the last nine games when the Royals were facing a traditional right-handed starter (he sat once against a righty opener), but he'll begin this one on the bench as the Astros send righty Hunter Brown to the hill. Garrett Hampson will be in right field for the series opener in Houston.

Wagner is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Boston.

It's right-hander Kutter Crawford on the bump for the Red Sox, but the left-handed hitting Wagner will begin this one on the bench. Leo Jimenez is getting the call at second base for the Blue Jays.
