Kiner-Falefa (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Kiner-Falefa is slated to be at third base Saturday, designated hitter Sunday and shortstop Tuesday, with a return to the Blue Jays coming after that if all goes well. He's been out since early July with a left knee sprain and has been mentioned as a possible trade candidate. Players can be traded while on the IL, so the fact that Kiner-Falefa isn't scheduled to return until after the deadline wouldn't necessarily preclude a trade.

Lux is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Houston, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The left-handed hitting Lux is getting a day off as the Astros send lefty Framber Valdez to the bump. Cavan Biggio -- who also bats left-handed -- will be at second base for the Dodgers.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Gorman will avoid a matchup with southpaw MacKenzie Gore on Friday. Brendan Donovan will fill Gorman's spot at second base.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

Lowe will take a seat Friday with southpaw Nick Lodolo starting for Cincinnati. Instead, Isaac Paredes will DH while Jose Caballero plays second base.

Norby went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 7-6, extra-inning victory versus Miami on Thursday.

The 24-year-old was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday to take the roster spot of Jorge Mateo, who was placed on the injured list with an elbow injury. Norby made a strong impression upon his return to the majors, belting a solo shot in the fourth inning and adding an infield single in the ninth. Norby probably isn't going to play every day given Baltimore's infield depth, but he could stick with the big club for a while since Mateo expected to be out for at least several weeks.

Lowe went 4-for-4 with two walks, a solo homer, two doubles, three total RBI and two runs during Thursday's 13-0 win over Toronto.

Lowe reached base in all six of his plate appearances and generated his first four-hit game of the season. The 29-year-old's first-inning homer was the fourth in his last seven games. Lowe has gone 20-for-64 (.313) with six home runs, 11 runs scored and 10 RBI in July.

Semien went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's 2-1 win over the White Sox.

Semien extended his on-base streak to 16 games, taking Jonathan Cannon yard in the third inning for a solo shot to tie the score at 1-1. The second baseman is up to 15 homers -- four of which have come during his on-base streak -- while tallying a .724 OPS and a 13.6 percent strikeout rate for the season.

Drury isn't in the Angels' lineup for Thursday's game versus Oakland, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Drury will get a day off Thursday after going 2-for-4 with an RBI during Wednesday's win over Seattle. While he sits, Luis Rengifo will shift to second base while Anthony Rendon starts at the hot corner and Willie Calhoun acts as the DH.

Kiner-Falefa (knee) is on track to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Kiner-Falefa will be cleared for rehab games as long as he gets through workouts the next couple days with no issues. The utility infielder has been out since early July with a left knee sprain. He shouldn't need too many rehab at-bats before being activated, with a return next week being possible. Kiner-Falefa could take over at shortstop for the Blue Jays while Bo Bichette (calf) is out.

Polanco went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday.

Polanco was productive on yet another night of anemic play by the Mariners offense as a whole, snapping a brief 0-for-8 skid that had encompassed the previous two games. Polanco has now hit safely in five of the last seven contests overall, and the .231 average he's mustered in that span actually represents significant improvement over his body of work for the majority of the season.
