Torres went 3-for-5 with a double Friday in a loss to Boston.

Though no runs resulted from Torres' three knocks, it was nonetheless another positive performance by the second baseman. Torres has consecutive multi-hit efforts and has at least one hit in 11 of his past 13 contests overall. During that stretch, he's slashing .348/.423/.543 with a pair of long balls, four RBI and five runs while bringing his season batting average up from .221 to .237.

Foscue is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.

Foscue will get a breather Saturday after going 0-for-4 in Friday's 6-5 loss to Toronto. Jonah Heim will serve as the designated hitter Saturday and bat seventh against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman.

Polanco went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

Polanco provided the final run of the night for the Mariners, belting a 421-foot shot to left center in the fourth inning with Cal Raleigh aboard. The veteran infielder was one of several struggling Seattle bats to snap out of slumps with big hits Friday, and he's now left the yard twice in his last five games.

The Twins optioned Julien to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

The loss of Carlos Correa (heel) prompted Julien's promotion from Triple-A last Saturday, and he'll now return to the minors as Jose Miranda (back) returns from the injured list. During his latest stint with the Twins, Julien went 2-for-12 with eight strikeouts over five games. He's had an easier time at St. Paul, posting a .780 OPS through 165 plate appearances on the year, though he still has yet to find the same offensive groove that he enjoyed in 2023.

Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

Gimenez had a solid night as he matched his hit total from his previous six games. The 25-year-old has 27 multi-hit games this season but just two over his last 16 appearances. Gimenez has also struggled as a runner of late, with just two stolen bases in his last 26 games. The second baseman is hitting .248 with a .632 OPS through 96 games this season.

The Rays acquired Horvath, Jackson Baumeister and Matthew Etzel from the Orioles on Friday in exchange for starting pitcher Zach Eflin, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Horvath was selected 53rd overall by the Orioles in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft and got his first taste of professional action last year with a 1.058 OPS in 22 games across rookie ball, Single-A Delmarva and High-A Aberdeen. The 22-year-old is back at the High-A level this year and has a .232/.328/.417 slash line in 71 games.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

Even with right-hander George Kirby on the mound for Seattle, Lopez will take a seat. Brooks Baldwin will play second base while Paul DeJong fills in at shortstop.

Kiner-Falefa (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Kiner-Falefa is slated to be at third base Saturday, designated hitter Sunday and shortstop Tuesday, with a return to the Blue Jays coming after that if all goes well. He's been out since early July with a left knee sprain and has been mentioned as a possible trade candidate. Players can be traded while on the IL, so the fact that Kiner-Falefa isn't scheduled to return until after the deadline wouldn't necessarily preclude a trade.

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

Lowe will take a seat Friday with southpaw Nick Lodolo starting for Cincinnati. Instead, Isaac Paredes will DH while Jose Caballero plays second base.

Norby went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 7-6, extra-inning victory versus Miami on Thursday.

The 24-year-old was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday to take the roster spot of Jorge Mateo, who was placed on the injured list with an elbow injury. Norby made a strong impression upon his return to the majors, belting a solo shot in the fourth inning and adding an infield single in the ninth. Norby probably isn't going to play every day given Baltimore's infield depth, but he could stick with the big club for a while since Mateo expected to be out for at least several weeks.
