Westburg aggravated his left index finger injury during Friday's 22-8 win over the Rays and is considered day-to-day, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Westburg had missed three games earlier in the week due to the injury, but he was able to return to the lineup. He aggravated the injury while sliding into second base on a double, but the good news is that X-rays came back negative. His status for Saturday's matinee is up in the air, and Ramon Urias -- who came in to pinch hit in the second inning -- would stand to see more time at the keystone if Westburg were to be sidelined.

Westburg (finger) was removed in the second inning of Friday's game against the Rays due to left hand discomfort, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Westburg appeared to suffer the injury while sliding head-first into second base on a double. He initially stayed in to run the bases but was replaced by Ramon Urias in the second frame. Westburg will undergo further testing, and the Orioles should have an update during or shortly after Friday's game.

Bregman (quadriceps) will hit Friday and take groundballs Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Bregman has been running since the start of June, but he hadn't yet resumed baseball activities. However, the third baseman will begin hitting and fielding groundballs this weekend, which is a big step in his recovery from a right quad strain. He isn't expected to return before the All-Star break, however.

Ramirez (forearm) isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

Manager Stephen Vogt said earlier Friday that Ramirez likely wouldn't be able to play Friday due to a bruised right forearm. As expected, the third baseman is out of the lineup, yielding hot-corner duties to Daniel Schneemann. Ramirez should be considered day-to-day going forward.

The Red Sox placed Mayer on the bereavement list Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Mayer will be away from the team temporarily as he tends to personal matters. Nick Sogard was recalled from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, Mayer is expected to return Monday.

Manager Stephen Vogt said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that Ramirez (forearm) is "probably not going to be able to play" Friday against the Cardinals.

The 32-year-old had X-rays come back negative after being hit in the right forearm by a pitch Thursday versus Toronto, but it appears the contusion will still cause him to miss at least one game. Ramirez should be considered day-to-day until the Guardians update his status.

McKinstry went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's 8-0 win over the Athletics. He also stole a base, though he was caught stealing once as well.

McKinstry did a little bit of everything to help lead the Tigers to a comfortable win in the series finale. The utility player is having a nice season with a .277 batting average, .793 OPS and nine stolen bases across 73 games, though he has seen his playing time dip a bit recently with Colt Keith getting more run at third base. However, with the Athletics starting lefty Jeffrey Springs, the right-handed McKinstry got the nod over the left-handed Keith on Thursday. That could be the arrangement moving forward, at least until Matt Vierling (shoulder) is able to return from the injured list.

Newman (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list Thursday.

Newman will return to action after being away from the team for three days while attending the birth of his child. The 31-year-old has produced a .222 average with a double, an RBI and four runs scored over 27 at-bats in June.

X-rays on Ramirez's right forearm came back negative after he was lifted from Thursday's game versus the Blue Jays following a hit-by-pitch, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Ramirez was plunked by a Kevin Gausman pitch in bottom of the fourth inning and was removed from the game prior to the top of the fifth. However, Ramirez can be considered day-to-day after he avoided any fractures.

Ramirez was removed from Thursday's game against the Blue Jays after getting hit on the arm by a pitch, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Ramirez ran the bases for himself after taking a 95-mph fastball off his arm in the fourth inning, but he was replaced on defense when the Guardians took the field in the fifth. Initial X-rays on his arm came back negative, per Assenheimer, and the team has labeled the slugging third baseman as day-to-day going forward.
