The Mariners selected Young's contract from Triple-A Tacoma, and he will start at second base and bat eighth against the Twins on Saturday.

Young is set to make his major-league debut after a strong start to the season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .278/.391/.463 with four steals, five home runs and 26 RBI in 245 plate appearances. With J.P. Crawford cemented as the Mariners' starting shortstop, Young will compete with Dylan Moore and Miles Mastrobuoni for regular playing time at the keystone.

Walls is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Walls will begin Saturday's contest on the bench while Jose Caballero starts at shortstop and bats in the leadoff spot. Walls has slashed .228/.313/.263 with three steals and four RBI in 67 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

Meidroth is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Orioles on Saturday.

Meidroth will get a breather after starting in each of the White Sox's last 13 games, slashing .315/.373/.407 with five steals, one home run and two RBI in 59 plate appearances during that span. Vinny Capra will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Story went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-1 win over Atlanta.

Friday's homer snapped a 15-game drought and was just his second long ball over the last 34 games. He was productive through the first three weeks of the season, but the expected impact of a healthy Story's bat hasn't played out overall. He's batting .219 with a .593 OPS and 23 RBI over 55 games this season.

Caballero went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

Getting the start in right field, the utility player hit leadoff for the first time all year and ripped a Framber Valdez two-seamer into the Crawford Boxes on the second pitch he saw, but it was all the offense the Rays could muster. The long ball was Caballero's second of the season, and over his last 14 games he's earned his audition at the top of the batting order by slashing .280/.345/.460 with six RBI, eight runs and nine steals.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Correa gave the Twins their first lead when he took Casey Legumina deep on the first pitch of the 10th inning. Over seven games since his return from a concussion, Correa is 8-for-24 (.333) with three homers and five RBI. The shortstop is up to five long balls this season while slashing .250/.290/.390 with 18 RBI, 20 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 48 contests.

The Mariners are expected to promote Young from Triple-A Tacoma this weekend, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Young is considered one of the best prospects in the Mariners' farm system and has been in Triple-A all season, slashing .278/.391/.463 with five homers, 26 RBI, 39 runs and four stolen bases through 243 plate appearances. He has maintained a strong batting average throughout his ascent through the minor leagues and has surpassed 20 steals in each full season he's played. The 21-year-old only has experience at the middle infield positions, and with J.P. Crawford cemented at shortstop, Young's clearest path to playing time in Seattle is at the keystone.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and an additional run scored in Thursday's 12-0 win over the A's.

After smacking a pinch-hit home run Wednesday, Bichette extended Toronto's lead to 10-0 in the third inning Thursday with a two-run blast off Anthony Maldonado, the shortstop's sixth long ball of the year. Following an 0-for-15 stretch, Bichette has gone 4-for-9 with four extra-base hits in his last three contests. He's slashing .277/.324/.426 with 30 RBI, 25 runs scored and four stolen bases across 253 plate appearances this year.

Bichette (back) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Thursday against the Athletics.

Bichette appeared as a pinch hitter Wednesday after missing out on the starting lineup due to back tightness and hit a two-run home run, providing the game's only offense in a 2-0 Toronto victory. The 27-year-old will return to the leadoff spot Thursday and aim to build off his round-tripper after going 1-for-19 in his previous five starts.

Jimenez (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, going 2-for-5 with a walk and three runs scored in his first game this season for the Bisons.

The 24-year-old shortstop missed nearly two months to begin the season, but Jimenez appears to be healthy now. He could provide some depth for the big-league infield later in the year if a spot opens up.
