Campbell was seen doing some first-base drills prior to Friday's game versus Atlanta, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

It doesn't necessarily mean the Red Sox are giving real thought to using Campbell at first base, as players will sometimes take reps at a position they're unlikely to play. However, the Red Sox have a clear opening at first base following the season-ending injury to Triston Casas (knee), and Campbell's defensive metrics at second base have been poor. Campbell has never played first base in pro ball.

The Nationals activated Garcia (personal) from the paternity list Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia missed the three-game series in Atlanta earlier this week while welcoming a new addition to the family but is ready to go for the weekend set in Baltimore. The second baseman has a .618 OPS with three homers and six stolen bases this season for the Nationals.

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.

Manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Edman (ankle) is close to returning from the 10-day injured list, DodgersBeat.com reports.

Roberts didn't offer up a specific return date, but it appears Edman could be activated this weekend versus the Angels or early next week against the Diamondbacks. The 30-year-old suffered an ankle injury in late April and is poised to rejoin the Dodgers without embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. Hyeseong Kim has taken advantage of Edman's absence with a 1.038 OPS in his first 12 big-league contests, but the veteran utility player shouldn't have an issue maintaining a regular spot in the lineup after posting a .252/.295/.523 slash line with eight homers, two steals, 24 RBI and 19 runs in his first 30 games this year.

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.

Kim went 3-for-3 with a double, two walks, two RBI, one stolen base and four runs scored in Thursday's 19-2 win over the Athletics.

From the No. 9 hole, Kim was able to have another strong performance, earning his first three-hit game in the majors. He also drew his first two walks in the contest. Kim is now batting .429 with a home run, five RBI, nine runs scored and three steals across 30 plate appearances to begin his big-league career. He's seeing time at second base and in center field against right-handed pitchers, though he could soon take on a reduced role with Tommy Edman (ankle) nearing his return from the IL.

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.
