Peterson is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Peterson started four of the last five contests, but he'll take a seat Friday as he is 3-for-20 since Aug. 14. DJ Stewart, Anthony Santander and Trey Mancini will start from left to right in the outfield for the Orioles.

Candelario (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Candelario recorded multiple hits in three of his last four rehab games with Toledo and homered Thursday, but he had been in a bad way before landing on the IL (.156/.235/.234 in his last 20 games), so the Tigers will keep him down and have him work out the kinks until rosters expand. Dawel Lugo has been starting at third base for the big-league club.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Tigers.

Bregman slugged a two-run shot in the fourth inning to give the Astros the first lead of the game. He also singled in the sixth. The 25-year-old shortstop has now tied a career best of 31 home runs while slashing .279/.407/.558 with 95 runs scored and 85 RBI.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Thursday's win over the Rangers.

In his return from the injured list due to a hamstring injury, Moncada batted cleanup and hit his 21st homer of the season, this time off Ariel Jurado in the third inning. The 24-year-old, who was out since July 31 with a strained right hamstring, also doubled in the fifth. Over 98 games this season, Moncada is slugging .303/.359/.545 with 22 doubles and 61 RBI.

Burger (Achilles) is hoping to be able to play in the instructional league this fall, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

He originally had been targeting making it back before the end of the AZL season, but that no longer seems realistic. Burger has not played in a game since 2017 due to multiple Achilles injuries.

Moncada (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Thursday's game against the Rangers.

As expected, Moncada is set to make his return for this four-game home series against Texas. He has been sidelined since July 30 with the hamstring injury. Moncada hit .409 with two home runs in five games during a rehab assignment. Ryan Goins will presumably move to a bench role.

Urshela recorded two base hits in four at-bats Tuesday in the Yankees' 6-2 loss to the Athletics.

After feasting on the Orioles a week ago, Urshela hasn't slowed down much while taking on the more competent Indians and Athletics pitching staffs. Over the last five contests, Urshela has gone 8-for-21 to lift his season-long batting average to .338.

Moncada (hamstring) went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored for Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Moncada successfully completed two consecutive games in the field and is on track to return Thursday. Since joining the Knights for his rehab stint, Moncada is 9-for-22 with three extra-base hits and six RBI in five games.

Devers was named the American League Player of the Week on Monday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Devers could do no wrong last week, slashing .593/.633/1.185 with three home runs, seven doubles and 11 RBI in six games. The 22-year-old leads the majors in doubles (46), hits (167), RBI (101) and total bases (300).

Moncada (hamstring) is on track to return from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Moncada is scheduled to play nine innings in the field for Triple-A Charlotte on Monday and Tuesday, and if everything goes well, it sounds like the infielder will be cleared to rejoin the White Sox ahead of Thursday's series opener against Texas. Prior to landing on the shelf at the end of July with a hamstring injury, Moncada compiled a .301/.358/.535 triple-slash with 20 home runs and seven stolen bases in 97 games.
