Drury (shoulder) went 1-for-4 in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Mariners.

Drury played the full game at second base after missing over a month with a shoulder injury. It was unclear what kind of playing time he would see upon his return, but with Zach Neto (back) going on the injured list, Drury has a chance to take over second base with Luis Rengifo moving to shortstop. Drury has had a productive season, slashing .276/.322/.497 with 14 home runs, 45 RBI, 36 runs scored, 17 doubles and two triples over 76 contests.

Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Mariners.

Rengifo logged his seventh multi-hit effort in his last 13 games, a span in which he's batting .315 (17-for-54) with nine extra-base hits. It looked like his path to everyday playing time would close with Brandon Drury (shoulder) returning from the injured list Friday, but Zach Neto (back) was placed on the IL as the corresponding move. With Neto sidelined, Rengifo will likely take over the starting shortstop job in the interim and retain the leadoff gig. Rengifo is slashing just .230/.318/.397 on the year with 11 homers, 34 RBI, 42 runs scored and five stolen bases through 96 contests, but he's been hot enough lately to warrant a look outside of AL-only formats.

Caballero went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Friday's 9-7 win over the Angels.

Caballero's at-bats remain limited, but he's gone 3-for-13 (.231) with four steals over his last eight games. The second baseman had a window to gain playing time after Kolten Wong was designated for assignment, but it's been Josh Rojas and Dylan Moore who have instead picked up most of the extra work at the keystone. Caballero is slashing .227/.352/.326 with 19 steals, three home runs, 21 RBI and 27 runs scored over 210 plate appearances.

Gorman went 3-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Rockies.

Gorman missed the prior game with a bruised foot he sustained Wednesday, but he returned with a vengeance, popping a pair of homers for the second time in his last eight contests. The second baseman is up to 24 long balls, 67 RBI, 47 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .245/.331/.512 slash line through 97 games this season. With Brendan Donovan (elbow) done for the year, Gorman will likely take on an everyday role at second base rather than sitting versus most southpaws.

Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a homer, two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's win over the White Sox.

Gimenez put the Guardians on top with his two-run shot in the fifth inning. It was his 10th long ball of the year and first since July 24. Gimenez has gone 14-for-71 (.197) in 19 games since the All-Star break, dropping his season slash line to .239/.309/.387 through 421 plate appearances.

Rojas is out of the lineup Friday against the Angels.

Jose Caballero will start at second base and bat ninth as the Mariners take on left-hander Reid Detmers. The lefty-swinging Rojas has gone 0-for-6 with two strikeouts since Seattle acquired him from the Diamondbacks at Tuesday's trade deadline.

Drury (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Angels manager Phil Nevin had indicated that Drury would remain on his minor-league rehab assignment through the weekend, but that was before the 30-year-old infielder connected for a long two-run homer at Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday night. He is playing second base and batting fifth Friday against the Mariners following a month-long absence due to left shoulder inflammation.

Schneider is starting at second base and batting seventh in his major-league debut Friday against the Red Sox.

Whit Merrifield is in left field against southpaw James Paxton, bumping Daulton Varsho to center while Kevin Kiermaier joins Santiago Espinal and Cavan Biggio on the bench. Schneider might have to get off to a hot start in order to carve out even a platoon role with the Blue Jays, but he does at least seem capable of doing that. The 24-year-old had posted a .969 OPS with 21 home runs and 64 RBI through 87 games this season for Triple-A Buffalo.

Frazier is out of the lineup Friday versus the Mets.

Jordan Westburg will cover second base and bat fifth as the Orioles take on left-hander David Peterson. Frazier has slashed just .189/.283/.321 in 60 plate appearances off lefties this year.

The Mets optioned Arauz to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

With Starling Marte (migraines) coming back from the injured list Friday, the Mets will send Arauz back to the minors to free up a roster spot. The 25-year-old went 1-for-6 during his latest stint in the majors and is slashing .244/.344/.429 through 395 plate appearances in Triple-A this year.
