Willi Castro RF | CHC
Twins' Willi Castro: Stays hot in Friday's loss
Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Astros.
All three Twins runs came on solo shots, with Castro getting his team on the board by taking Colton Gordon deep in the fourth inning. Castro has been on fire since the end of May, slashing .408/.491/.796 over his last 14 games with five homers, 10 RBI and 12 runs, and with Royce Lewis (hamstring) suffering another injury Friday, the 28-year-old utility player will have a little less competition for playing time in the immediate future.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Homers twice in win
Torres went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 11-5 win over the Reds.
Torres opened the scoring with a leadoff homer in the first inning and went deep again in the seventh. It was a much-needed power surge for the 28-year-old, who hadn't homered since May 12 and entered Friday with just one extra-base hit over 12 June games. On the season, he's slashing .271/.373/.414 with seven home runs, 33 RBI, 32 runs scored and four steals across 249 plate appearances.

The young infielder, who has a .706 OPS for the season, will slot back in as a regular starter Friday against Cincinnati righty Nick Martinez.

Chisholm exited Wednesday's game with tightness in his left groin and will miss a second consecutive game due to the issue, though Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that he hopes the 27-year-old will be available as a pinch hitter, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. In Chisholm's place, Oswald Peraza will play third base and bat eighth.

Kim (shoulder) was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment Thursday due to right hamstring tightness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Kim has yet to play in the majors this season while he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery, but he did begin a rehab assignment late last month and has appeared in 12 games for Triple-A Durham. Across 49 trips to the plate with Durham, Kim is slashing .211/.347/.263 with just two extra-base hits, four RBI, eight runs scored, two stolen bases and an 8:5 BB:K. Kim is expected to resume his rehab stint as soon as next week.

Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Held out Thursday
Chisholm (groin) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Kansas City.
It's not a surprise that Chisholm is sitting out Thursday's series finale after he had to exit Wednesday's game with left groin tightness. The positive news is Chisholm has not been placed on the 10-day injured list and is considered day-to-day at this time. Oswald Peraza will pick up a start at third base for the Yankees.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Cleared for rehab games
Sosa (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Sosa had expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday, but he'll instead start up a rehab stint. He landed on the shelf in early June with a right hip flexor strain and should be able to rejoin the White Sox after a quick stay in the minors.
