    Red Sox's Luis Urias: Called up by Boston

    Boston recalled Urias from Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Urias was acquired from the Brewers at Tuesday's trade deadline and will look to start fresh with the Red Sox in what has been an injury-stunted 2023 campaign. When healthy this season, the 26-year-old former top prospect has slashed just .145/.299/.236 with one home run in 20 major-league games. Christian Arroyo was designated for assignment Friday in a corresponding move.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Back in lineup

    Gorman (foot) is starting at second base and batting third Friday against the Rockies, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    After missing Thursday's game due to a bruised foot, Gorman is officially good to go for Friday's series opener. The 23-year-old came back from the All-Star break scorching hot, but he is just 1-for-11 with seven strikeouts across his last four games.

  • Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Officially promoted to bigs

    Toronto selected Schneider's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

    Schneider doesn't have a clear path toward regular playing time with the Blue Jays, but the 28th-round pick from the 2017 MLB Draft has forced his way to the bigs after registering a .969 OPS with 21 home runs and 21 doubles across 87 games this summer at Triple-A. He'll likely operate as a super-utility option at a variety of positions while offering some pop off the bench.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Optioned back to Triple-A

    Toronto optioned Clement to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

    Clement drew only one plate appearance during his brief stay on the Blue Jays' major-league roster. The 27-year-old infielder has posted an excellent .352/.417/.543 slash line in 52 games this season at the Triple-A level.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Gets day off Friday

    Hoerner is getting the day off Friday versus Atlanta, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Nick Madrigal will start at second base and bat leadoff against the NL East leaders and left-hander Max Fried. Hoerner went 6-for-16 with a homer, two doubles, one RBI, one stolen base and six runs scored in the Cubs' previous series versus the Reds.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Launches fifth homer

    Turang went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's win over the Pirates.

    Turang extended Milwaukee's lead to 8-1 with a three-run homer off Mitch Keller in the fifth inning. It's Turang's fifth long ball of the year and just his second in his last 50 games. While he hasn't provided frequent power, the rookie infielder has been swinging the bat well, going 9-for-20 (.450) over his last six games. Overall, Turang is slashing .221/.289/.333 with 27 runs scored, 25 RBI and 12 stolen bases across 284 plate appearances this season.

  • Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Getting call-up to Jays

    Schneider will be called up to the Blue Jays on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Schneider was a 28th-round pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, but he has steadily risen through the Jays' minor-league system and had exploded for a .969 OPS with 21 home runs and nine stolen bases through 87 games this season at Triple-A Buffalo. It's not exactly clear how he might fit into Toronto's lineup, but the 24-year-old has played pretty much every position on the diamond since beginning his professional career. Most of his starts with Buffalo have come at either second base or left field.

  • Tony Kemp 2B | MIN

    Athletics' Tony Kemp: Out with rib contusion

    Kemp is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Dodgers due to a rib contusion, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    It's not a serious concern, though, and Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Kemp could be available off the bench. The 31-year-old utilityman is slashing .217/.303/.310 with three homers and 12 steals in 88 games this season for Oakland.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Scratched with bruised foot

    Gorman was scratched from the lineup Thursday versus the Twins due to a bruised foot, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Gorman fouled a ball off his foot Wednesday and will take a day off for rest and treatment. It's not believed to be a serious concern. Jose Fermin is now starting at second base and batting ninth for the Cardinals in Thursday's series finale against Minnesota.
