Chisholm (oblique) fielded grounders Friday at Yankee Stadium and was scheduled to begin hitting off a tee earlier this week, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Chisholm has been out all month with a right oblique strain but has been cleared to ease back into baseball activities. The second baseman was originally given a 4-6 week return timeline, so he's likely still not close to being activated from the IL even in a best-case scenario.

Bazzana is being evaluated for an injury to his right side at Double-A Akron, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Bazzana tweaked his side during the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday and was absent from RubberDucks' lineup Thursday. At this point, it's not clear how long the first overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft might be sidelined. Bazzana is slashing .252/.362/.433 with four home runs and eight stolen bases over 33 contests with Akron this season. He's homered twice and boasts a 1.013 OPS across his last 10 games.

The Rays optioned Montes to Triple-A Durham on Friday.

The 28-year-old was promoted Tuesday with Yandy Diaz heading to the restricted list, but Diaz was returned to the active roster Friday. Montes didn't see the field during his brief time in the majors, though he appeared in five big-league games earlier in the season and went 2-for-10 with an RBI and three strikeouts.

Sosa is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

Sosa started each of the previous eight contests, but he will get a breather for the series opener against the ChiSox's crosstown rival. Josh Rojas will be at second base and bat eighth.

Semien went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 1-0 win over Houston.

Semien appeared to be coming out of a season-opening funk when he was dropped mid-April from leadoff to fifth in the order, but any initial success was fleeting. He posted a .271 average and .702 OPS over 14 games immediately after the change but recently is 4-for-33 (.121) with a .407 OPS across the last nine contests.

Lowe went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Lowe quickly opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the first inning, and he did the same thing to close out the scoring in the ninth. He torched Toronto pitching in this three-game series, going 7-for-13 with three extra-base hits and six RBI. That has Lowe's OPS up to .645 on the year, his highest mark since he was at .660 following an April 16 game versus the Red Sox. He's batting .220 with seven homers, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored, a stolen base and two doubles over 162 plate appearances.

Urias is out of the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.

This marks Urias' first day off since April 19. He's hit .268 with five home runs, eight RBI and 10 runs scored across 22 games in that span. Max Schuemann will take over at second base and hit ninth.

Clemens went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of the Orioles.

The 28-year-old utility player played hero in the nightcap, taking Yannier Cano deep for a three-run homer in the eighth inning that flipped the script on a 6-5 deficit. Clemens is batting .227 (5-for-22) with two home runs and six RBI in 11 games since joining the Twins, but he could he in line for more playing time if Ty France, who left the first game of the twin bill with a foot injury and sat out the nightcap, is sidelined for additional time.

Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double during Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Reds.

Sosa took Nick Lodolo yard in the sixth inning for his third home run of the season and added a double in the eighth frame. The long ball was Sosa's first since Apr. 24. He's been on a tear recently, notching multiple hits in four of his last five contests and going 12-for-41 (.292) at the plate during May.

Paris is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Padres on Wednesday.

Paris started the season strongly, but over his past 23 games he's slashed .100/.149/.171 with one home run, three RBI and a 52.7 percent strikeout rate. He'll begin Wednesday's game in the dugout while Matthew Lugo starts in center field and bats eighth against Padres right-hander Randy Vasquez.
