The Red Sox optioned Sogard to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

Sogard was promoted to the big club at the end of July and made his major-league debut Aug. 2 against the Rangers. Across 12 games with Boston this season, he batted .227 with nine runs scored, three steals and six RBI. His playing time with the big club was set to decline with Tyler O'Neill (leg) returning from the 10-day injured list, so Sogard will head back to Worcester to get regular playing time.

Massey is not in Saturday's lineup against the Reds.

He'll head to the bench with lefty Nick Lodolo on the hill for Cincinnati. The lefty-hitting Massey may also sit Sunday with Andrew Abbott slated to start for the Reds.

Horwitz is absent from Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.

The lefty-hitting Horwitz will retreat to the dugout Saturday with the Cubs sending southpaw Justin Steele to the mound. George Springer will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the leadoff spot.

Polanco went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a loss to the Pirates on Friday.

Polanco uncorked his 12th home run of the season in the ninth inning with the bases empty to give Seattle a brief ray of hope in what was ultimately a two-run loss. The veteran has now left the yard in two of the last four games and reached safely in each contest during that span, a brief reprieve from his season-long struggles.

Keith (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Keith sat out of Friday's contest against the Yankees to recover from lingering soreness in his left hamstring. The 23-year-old appears to be healthy enough to play Saturday, and he will be eased back in as he works as the Tigers' designated hitter. Since the All-Star break, Keith is slashing .234/.280/.330 with seven runs scored, two home runs and six RBI across 100 plate appearances.

Holliday went 4-for-5 with a triple, three runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 12-10 loss to the Red Sox.

The Baltimore rookie collected his first career four-hit performance that included his first major-league triple, and he scored a career-high three runs. Since being recalled July 31, Holliday has batted .286 (16-for-35) with five homers, 13 runs scored and 14 RBI across 15 games. The 20-year-old should continue to play every day at second base for the Orioles as the team marches to the postseason and could move up in a potent batting order if he remains hot -- Holliday has yet to hit higher than sixth in the majors.

Drury is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta, per MLB.com.

Drury will sit for a second straight game. He's struggled at the plate since the All-Star break, slashing .127/.260/.143 with four RBI across 73 plate appearances. Michael Stefanic will start at second base and bat ninth against Atlanta right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach.

Castro is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Rangers.

It's a rare day off for Castro, who had started every game so far this month. Kyle Farmer and Edouard Julien will form the double-play combination for the Twins.

Keith was deemed day-to-day Friday with left hamstring soreness stemming from a cramp he felt Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

He was held out of the Tigers lineup Friday and was described as "banged up" by manager A.J. Hinch, but the team doesn't seem worried that Keith is dealing with anything serious. Zach McKinstry is starting at second base Friday.

Sogard (calf) will start at second base and bat seventh in Friday's game in Baltimore.

Sogard exited Wednesday's game versus the Rangers after fouling a ball off his calf and didn't play in the series opener against the Orioles on Thursday. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one.
