Volpe went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 6-1 win versus Tampa Bay.

The New York shortstop cracked a bases-clearing double in the third inning to extend the Yankees' lead to 4-0. This performance marks Volpe's third three-RBI game of the season. Perhaps this game's success will spur the 23-year-old on to a better second half, as he entered the evening hitting a miserable .143 (12-for-84) with eight runs scored and five RBI over his previous 20 games.

Bichette left Friday's game against the Tigers due to a right calf strain.

Bichette wasn't able to put any weight on his right leg after lining out to right field in the sixth inning, and he's now officially been diagnosed with a strained right calf -- the same injury that caused him to miss the last four games before the All-Star break. The Blue Jays didn't place him on the IL after his initial strain, but there's a good chance he spends some time on the injured list this time around in order to properly address the issue. Leo Jimenez will presumably take over as Toronto's starting shortstop while Bichette recovers.

Bichette was removed from Friday's game versus Detroit with an apparent leg injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Bichette was hopping to first base as he lined out to right field during the sixth inning, and he was reluctant to put any weight on his right leg. The 26-year-old shortstop missed the final four games of the first half due to a strained right calf, and the Blue Jays' trainers will take a look at him to determine if his latest injury is related.

Story (shoulder) told reporters Friday that there is a chance he'll return for the playoffs should the Red Sox make the postseason, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

After playing just eight games at the beginning of the year, Story underwent arthroscopic surgery for a dislocated left shoulder and was transferred to the 60-day injured list April 18. The procedure was thought to be season-ending at the time, but Story relayed that his doctor said there's a chance that the veteran shortstop will play again this year, per Alex Speier of The Boston Globe. Regardless of when he returns, Story may not see regular playing time, given that Ceddanne Rafaela has stepped into the Red Sox's starting shortstop job. Story has played just 145 regular-season games since joining Boston in 2022 due to various injuries.

Holliday (elbow) will begin playing partial games at second base for Triple-A Norfolk as part of his rehab progression, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports Friday.

Holliday has exclusively played DH since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list June 25 after experiencing right elbow inflammation earlier that month, so this is a good sign he's nearly 100 percent healthy. The Orioles' top prospect, Holliday has a .898 OPS at Norfolk through 312 plate appearances.

Wilson is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Friday's series opener against the Angels.

Wilson has risen quickly through the Athletics' farm system since being selected sixth overall in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. Following his promotion to Triple-A Las Vegas on May 8, Wilson has slashed .398/.444/.639 with four home runs, 12 RBI and a 1.083 OPS across 90 plate appearances. He'll take over the starting job at shortstop, and if Wilson is able to adapt as well to the big leagues as he has in the minors, he should move up in the A's batting order during the second half of the season.

The White Sox selected Baldwin's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Baldwin is starting at second base and batting eighth Friday in Kansas City in what will be his major-league debut. The switch-hitting infielder earned a promotion after slashing .324/.391/.460 with eight home runs and 17 stolen bases between Double-A Birmingham and Charlotte this season. Baldwin should see regular playing time for the White Sox, perhaps in a super-utility role rather than as an everyday option at the keystone.

Baez (back) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Toronto.

Baez missed the final contest before the All-Star break, and the time off wasn't enough to get him back in the lineup. The Tigers had expressed optimism earlier this week that Baez could avoid the injured list, but it's not a good sign that five days of rest was insufficient. Zach McKinstry will handle shortstop Friday.

The Athletics selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

It was reported Thursday that Oakland would be calling up Wilson for Friday's second-half opener versus the Angels, and he's now officially been added to the 26-man and 40-man rosters. The 22-year-old was selected with the sixth overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft and has posted a 1.161 OPS with eight homers and two steals in 46 games between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this season. He should take over the starting job at shortstop from Max Schuemann.

Bichette (calf) will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Friday's game against the Tigers.

Bichette missed the final four games of the first half with a strained right calf, but the additional rest over the All-Star break appears to have been enough to get him healthy. The shortstop will carry a disappointing .596 OPS into the second half.
