Caminero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during the Rays' 5-3 loss to the Red Sox in the second game of Friday's doubleheader.

Caminero was cleared to play in both of Friday's game after X-rays came back negative on his left hand, which was struck by a pitch during Tuesday's All-Star Game. He went 1-for-4 in the first game, which Tampa Bay lost 10-0, but he tied things up in the third inning of the second game with a solo homer off Eduardo Rivera. Caminero is up to 29 home runs and a .925 OPS which rank second and sixth, respectively, in the majors this season.

Alexander (hand) does not have a timeline to return from the 10-day injured list, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Alexander landed on the IL on Thursday due to a fractured left hand that he sustained against the Royals this past Sunday. The third baseman will undergo weekly checkups on his left hand and will begin physical activity once the bone heals. Coby Mayo is starting at third base Friday against the Astros, and he should see a bump in playing time at the hot corner for as long as Alexander is on the shelf.

Barger (back/elbow) remains shut down from baseball activities, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

While Barger hopes to play again this season, an August return would be a best-case scenario, according to manager John Schneider. Barger hasn't played since May 9 due to right elbow inflammation and a stress reaction in his back. It's been a lost season for the 26-year-old, as he's managed to appear in just nine games to this point in 2026.

Durbin went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in a 10-0 win over the Rays in the first game of Friday's doubleheader.

He also got hit by a pitch. Durbin continues to wield a hot stick, posting a third multi-hit game over his last six contests. He entered Friday's matinee on a roll with a .325 batting average (26-for-80), five doubles, six home runs, 13 RBI, five steals and 17 runs scored over his previous 23 games.

Caminero (hand) will start at third base and bat third in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

Caminero had to leave Tuesday's All-Star Game after being hit on the left hand by a pitch, but X-rays came back negative and he's ready to roll for the beginning of the second half. The 23-year-old heads into the unofficial second half in a tie for fourth in MLB with 28 home runs.

The Orioles placed Alexander on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a fractured left hand, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The move is retroactive to July 13, as Alexander suffered the injury in Sunday's game against the Royals when he was hit by a pitch in the hand. He's likely looking at more than the minimum stay on the injured list. Alexander is enjoying a career year in his first season with Baltimore, slashing .312/.368/.439 with four homers, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a 16:54 BB:K across 246 plate appearances. Alexander has become the Orioles' everyday third baseman. Coby Mayo, Jeremiah Jackson and Christian Encarnacion-Strand could all see extra playing time with Alexander sidelined.

The Athletics selected White's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

White has quickly ascended the ranks of the Athletics' farm system since being drafted 40th overall in 2024, and he'll now get a chance to contribute for the big club after slashing .303/.345/.489 with nine homers, 47 RBI and 44 runs in 55 games at Las Vegas. The 23-year-old will help bolster the Athletics' corner-infield depth and could even make a handful of starts while both Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee) are on the injured list.

Camerino (hand) said he plans to be in the lineup for both games of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 23-year-old had X-rays come back negative after being hit by a pitch on the left hand during Tuesday's All-Star Game, and he doesn't expect to need any time off to begin the second half of the season. Caminero entered the break on a bit of a skid at the plate with a .143 average (4-for-28) and 32.4 percent strikeout rate in his last eight games, though all four of his hits in that span went for extra bases.

Caminero was removed from the All-Star Game on Tuesday after getting hit on the hand by a pitch in the third inning, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Caminero left the game immediately after taking a 97.6-mph sinker off his left hand, though X-rays on his hand came back negative shortly after his departure, per Topkin. Caminero is considered day-to-day and will now have two days to rest and recover before the Rays begin their second-half schedule Friday in Boston.

Wilson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Rays.

Wilson added to Seattle's lead by taking Ian Seymour deep for a solo homer in the fourth inning. It was his second long ball of the season and first since the Mariners claimed him off waivers June 18. The utility man has seen limited production with his new club, going 3-for-18 across his first 10 games with Seattle.
