Lee went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Lee has multiple hits in four of his last eight games and is now slashing .252/.313/.417 with five home runs, 17 RBI, 14 runs scored, two stolen bases and an 8:21 BB:K across 112 trips to the plate this season. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 draft is still batting near the bottom of the lineup.

Martin went 3-for-5 with three singles in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Martin is slashing .333/.484/.435 across 91 trips to the plate this season, but 18 of his 23 hits have been singles, as he's produced one home run, seven RBI, 11 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 19:13 BB:K. Martin has been a good source of batting average and on-base percentage, but he's not doing much else. He's also been caught stealing an MLB-high four times. Martin should continue to see regular playing time with his hot bat and good eye at the dish.

Antonacci went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Padres.

Antonacci helped start a six-run rally in the second inning, driving in a run with a single while also coming around to score. He later collected another hit to record multiple knocks in a game for the second time in his first 10 starts in the majors. Antonacci is slashing .250/.358/.432 across 53 plate appearances, and he also has at least one RBI in three straight games.

Montgomery went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 8-2 win over the Padres.

Montgomery went deep in the fifth inning to stretch the White Sox's lead to 7-0 at the time. The shortstop has hit safely in four straight contests, going 5-for-16 (.313) with two homers and three RBI in that span. He's up to nine homers, 22 RBI, 15 runs scored and one stolen base over 32 contests this season while maintaining a .237 batting average and .859 OPS. He also has a 28.8 percent strikeout rate, but that's tolerable as long as he continues to slug.

Correa went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Red Sox.

Correa was responsible for the Astros' only run, launching a solo shot in the third inning. The 31-year-old also recorded his third three-hit performance of the season and has now tallied five extra-base hits, six runs scored and six RBI over his past 10 games. He's been impressive in the early going, slashing .288/.370/.441 with three homers, 15 RBI, 21 runs scored and a stolen base across 127 plate appearances.

Martinez isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

Martinez will get a breather after making six consecutive starts and going 6-for-24 with two homers, five RBI and a steal in that span. His absence will allow Chase DeLauter to start in right field while Rhys Hoskins serves as Cleveland's designated hitter.

Clement is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

Clement started Toronto's first 31 games of the season, but he'll receive his first day off Friday while in the midst of a 2-for-14 slump. Lenyn Sosa will instead man the keystone and bat sixth versus Minnesota righty Simeon Woods Richardson.

Jackson is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 26-year-old opened the season in a bit of a timeshare at second base, but he grabbed hold of the everyday job with a hot start and is now sitting after starting 19 straight games. Jackson's bat has cooled off lately, however, as he's slashing just .200/.238/.300 in his past 11 contests. Blaze Alexander is manning the keystone Friday for Baltimore.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Volpe (shoulder) will remain on his rehab assignment at Double-A Somerset through this weekend, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The Yankees discussed the possibility of bringing Volpe back for their weekend series against the Orioles, but the team will wait until his 20-day rehab window closes Monday before activating him from the 10-day injured list. Coming back from left shoulder surgery, Volpe has played 10 rehab contests thus far, slashing .303/.324/.394 with one home run, two stolen bases and a 1:7 BB:K. Jose Caballero will remain the Yankees' primary shortstop through the weekend.

Martin will start in right field and bat third in Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

That the righty-swinging Martin is in the lineup versus lefty Patrick Corbin is not a surprise. However, he's now started in right field three times in the last four games, and the first two of those game against righties. Martin has been one of the Twins' best hitters this season and could be emerging as the team's preferred option in right field over the struggling Matt Wallner.
