Frazier isn't in the Orioles' lineup Friday against the Guardians, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Lowe (knee) is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Lowe was lifted from Thursday's game against the Angels after fouling a ball off his right knee. While he is undoubtedly still sore, there's been no indication that he's dealing with anything more than a day-to-day issue. Isaac Paredes will slide over to second base Friday, with Curtis Mead getting the call at the hot corner.

The Red Sox recalled Valdez from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

With Luis Urias (calf) on the injured list, Valdez will come up to give the Red Sox additional depth in the infield. Valdez has slashed .246/.294/.415 across 126 plate appearances in the majors this season.

The Red Sox placed Urias on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left calf strain, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Urias' placement on the injured list is backdated to Thursday, so he'll be eligible to return for the final game of the season Oct. 1. Pablo Reyes and Ceddanne Rafaela figure to see an increase in playing time at second base, and Enmanuel Valdez will come up from Triple-A Worcester to fill Urias' roster spot.

Urias (calf) is absent from the lineup for Friday's tilt against the White Sox.

Urias tweaked his left calf during Wednesday's game versus the Rangers and isn't ready to play even after Thursday's off day. Ceddanne Rafaela is covering second base for the Red Sox.

Oakland is rolling out an all-right-handed lineup with Detroit throwing left-hander Tarik Skubal. Kemp has drawn only 17 plate appearances versus southpaws this year.

Lowe was removed from Thursday's game against the Angels with an apparent knee injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe fouled a ball hard off his right knee in the bottom of the seventh inning, though he was able to gut it out until the top of the ninth and doesn't seem to be dealing with anything too serious. Curtis Mead entered to play third base for the Rays as Isaac Paredes shifted over to second. Lowe finished the day 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts.

Semien went 2-for-3 with two walks, three RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 15-5 win over the Red Sox.

Drury went 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in an 8-3 win against the Rays on Wednesday.

Drury was responsible for the majority of Los Angeles' run production in the victory, knocking a three-run homer in the second inning and a two-run shot in the sixth. It was the third multi-homer performance of the campaign for the veteran infielder, who is up to 23 long balls and 75 RBI over 115 contests on the season. Drury had been struggling coming into Wednesday, slashing .164/.271/.377 over his first 16 contests in September.
