The White Sox reinstated Foster (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Foster's lengthy recovery from Tommy John surgery in April 2023 is finally complete, as he joins the White Sox active roster Friday. The 27-year-old made 14 minor-league rehab appearances, 11 for Triple-A Charlotte, in which he logged a 2.31 ERA and 17 Ks across 11.2 innings. Dominic Leone (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher in Friday's game against the Yankees, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

It's the third straight assignment as an opener for Brieske, and he went a combined 4.1 scoreless innings in the first two. The former starter is capable of going deeper into games than most openers, but the role still limits his fantasy utility. Brant Hurter is a likely candidate for bulk relief Friday.

Mayza signed a major-league contract with the Yankees on Friday and was selected to the 26-man roster.

Mayza inked a minor-league deal with the Yankees on July 10 and has since been pitching for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 2.16 ERA across 8.1 innings. The left-hander shouldn't be expected to handle high-leverage work in what will be his first MLB action since being designated for assignment by the Blue Jays in late June.

The Tigers designated Lucas for assignment Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Lucas will lose his spot on the 40-man roster with the Tigers selecting the contracts of Jace Jung and Trey Sweeney. Lucas hasn't pitched for Detroit since July 28. The 27-year-old has a 10.29 ERA in MLB this season but posted a 3.51 ERA across 33.1 innings with Triple-A Toledo, where he'll likely remain if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Bernardino will start Friday's game against the Orioles, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The 32-year-old will make his third start of the season but will only throw an inning or two. Cooper Criswell is expected to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday to handle the bulk relief role in the contest. Bernardino has a 3.79 ERA with a 40:17 K:BB in 40.1 big-league innings.

Garcia recorded his 13th hold of the season in a loss to the Tigers on Thursday, allowing an earned run on a walk over two-thirds of an inning.

Garcia issued an inning-opening walk to Austin Meadows in the eighth inning before retiring the next two batters, but Andres Munoz then surrendered a two-run home run to Javier Baez that allowed Meadows to cross the plate. Garcia has been charged with a combined three earned runs over the last two days and five overall in his last five appearances, a stark contrast to the four straight scoreless one-inning outings with which he opened his Mariners tenure.

Ferguson (1-1) got the win over the Mets on Thursday, allowing a hit and a walk over two scoreless innings. He struck out two.

Ferguson needed 44 pitches to get through his two frames after taking the mound to begin the fifth inning. The right-hander became the pitcher of record after the Athletics were able to take a one-run lead in the home half of the sixth, leading to Ferguson recording his first career win. He has put together six consecutive scoreless appearances after allowing a combined four runs over two innings in back-to-back outings July 30 and Aug. 2.

The Twins outrighted Blewett to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Blewett was removed from the 40-man roster after making just one appearance for the Twins, but he's cleared waivers and will stick around in the organization. The 28-year-old has put up a 3.66 ERA and 52:17 K:BB over 51.2 frames at St. Paul in 2024.

Yates (4-2) took the loss against the Twins on Thursday, allowing one run on two walks over one inning while striking out one.

Yates entered the game with the score tied in the top of the ninth and retired the first batter before surrendering back-to-back walks. The right-hander would then see a run come home after allowing both runners to advance on a wild pitch, followed by a sacrifice fly from Carlos Santana. It was only the second loss of the season for Yates, with the previous one coming back on June 18 against the Mets. The earned run was also the first that's been charged to the veteran this month, while Thursday's appearance was his first in 2024 in which he issued multiple walks.

Duran picked up the save in Thursday's win over the Rangers, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Duran entered the contest with a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth and retired the first two batters on strikes before getting Josh Smith to ground out for his 17th save of the season. The right-hander has allowed only one run this month over five appearances, posting a 7:0 K:BB over that stretch while recording two saves. He's also recorded at least two strikeouts in three of his last six outings.
