The Red Sox optioned Gasper to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Gasper will give way to Trevor Story (shoulder) on the active roster as Story returns from the 60-day injured list. Gasper failed to log a hit in 16 plate appearances with the Red Sox but holds a 1.179 OPS at Triple-A.

Morel isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Despite recording a base hit in six of his last seven games, Morel will now sit down for the third time in Tampa Bay's last four contests. Yandy Diaz will instead serve as the Rays' DH while Austin Shenton starts at first base and bats ninth.

Lowe (finger) isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reporrts.

Inflammation in Lowe's finger prevented him from playing in Friday's game, and his absence will now extend into Saturday. Jonathan Aranda will pick up a start at the keystone and bat second while Lowe sits.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said Saturday that McNeil was diagnosed with a fractured wrist and will miss the remainder of the season, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

McNeil had to leave Friday's game early after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch in the fifth inning, and the incident will ultimately end up putting an early end to his campaign. The 32-year-old will finish the 2024 regular season with a .238/.308/.384 slash line alongside 12 homers and 44 RBI across 472 plate appearances. Jose Iglesias figures to serve as New York's primary second baseman for the final month of the season.

Massey went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-0 win over the Twins.

The second baseman took rookie Zebby Matthews deep in the fourth inning, part of Massey's first multi-hit performance since Aug. 24. That brief slump has been the exception for the 26-year-old of late -- since the beginning of August, Massey is slashing .297/.330/.473 over 28 contests with nine extra-base hits, including three of his 12 homers on the year.

Valdez started at second base and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

Valdez walked and scored on Ceddanne Rafaela's home run in the seventh inning. Valdez, who's started three of the last four games, may begin losing opportunities going forward. The Red Sox plan to reinstate Trevor Story (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday, and Story will start at shortstop while Rafaela moves to second base.

Marte served as the designated hitter, batted leadoff and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 8-0 loss to the Astros.

Marte, who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday, resumed his role as the team's leadoff batter against a lefty, though he didn't play the field. He missed two and a half weeks due to an ankle sprain and could be brought back at a measured pace before returning to second base.

Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

Gimenez opened the scoring in the top of the sixth inning. The second baseman hasn't hit for much power this year, but he has three homers over his last seven games to give him eight long balls on the year. Overall, he's slashing .251/.303/.343 with 57 RBI, 60 runs scored and 25 stolen bases through 133 contests.

Devers exited Friday's game against the Phillies with an apparent hand injury, MLB.com reports.

Playing first base for the first time in his career in a blowout loss, Devers was trying to field an errant throw from Connor Norby in the eighth inning and collided with Johan Rojas in the process. The severity of the issue is not currently clear.

Merrifield exited Friday's game against the Blue Jays after fouling a ball off his left foot, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Merrifield had just returned to the lineup following a two-game absence after being hit in the head by a pitch. He suffered more bad luck Friday, but the severity of the new injury is unclear.
