Kim was removed from Friday's game against the Twins due to a right calf injury, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

After spending the first several months of the season on the injured list due to shoulder and hamstring injuries, Kim's Rays debut came to an early end after he injured his calf attempting to steal third base in the seventh inning. Manager Kevin Cash said after the game that Kim is considered day-to-day, so it doesn't seem like the 29-year-old infielder is headed for another IL stint. Taylor Walls will likely start any games Kim has to miss.

Caballero is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

Though he leads the majors with 30 stolen bases, Caballero has been handling a part-time role in recent weeks. He'll be on the bench for the second game in a row and the fourth time in six games, and his chances of earning starts in the middle infield aren't likely to improve in the short term with the Rays activating Ha-Seong Kim (shoudler) from the injured list Thursday. Caballero will likely see fewer at-bats, though Rays manager Kevin Cash told Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun on Friday that Caballero will continue to see playing time, adding that both Caballero and Taylor Walls are "big parts of our club." Walls probably ranks as the preferred option at shortstop when Kim is out of the lineup, though the right-handed-hitting Caballero could be a regular part of the lineup against left-handed pitching as a replacement in the outfield for either Chandler Simpson or Josh Lowe, both of whom bat from the left side.

Bichette (knee) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

The shortstop stepped on a ball during batting practice Monday and missed almost the entire four-game set against the Yankees, though Bichette appeared off the bench Thursday, going 0-for-1. Now that he's feeling well enough to return to the lineup, Bichette will look to put the finishing touches on a resurgent first half in which he's slashed .272/.311/.426 with 11 homers and four steals over 380 plate appearances.

Capra was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Friday.

Capra was part of history earlier this week when he became Clayton Kershaw's 3,000th strikeout victim. Two days later, he's been bumped from the 40-man and 26-man rosters, as prospect Colson Montgomery comes up for his MLB debut. Capra provides defensive versatility but has slashed just .125/.157/.177 in 105 plate appearances this season between the Brewers and White Sox.

Montgomery was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

A first-round pick in 2021, Montgomery has spent the past couple seasons at the Triple-A level, slashing .215/.319/.398 across 814 total plate appearances. He has put up 11 homers and a couple steals over 55 games this season and will now get his first look at the major-league level, presumably as the starting shortstop for Chicago. He replaces Vinny Capra on the active roster.

Story went 4-for-5 with a home run, four RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 11-2 win over the Nationals.

Story laced a two-run single in the fifth inning and later added a two-run blast in the eighth, notching his first four-hit game of the season as well as his first time homering and swiping a base in the same contest. The shortstop is riding a six-game hitting streak and has hit safely in eight of his past 10 games, with the latter stretch including seven extra-base hits, 13 RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases. For the year, Story is slashing .252/.293/.404 with 13 long balls, 51 RBI, 42 runs scored and 14 steals across 349 plate appearances.

Neto went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, a stolen base and three runs scored in Thursday's 5-1 win over Atlanta.

The homer was the 13th of the year for Neto, who broke out of a 1-for-17 skid at the plate over his prior six games. The shortstop has proven to be a strong source of power and speed at a premium position in fantasy leagues to this point. Through 280 plate appearances, Neto is slashing a strong .270/.311/.487 with 13 long balls, 16 doubles, one triple, 49 runs scored and 14 stolen bases.

Montgomery is expected to be recalled by the White Sox to make his major-league debut Friday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Montgomery was viewed as one of the top shortstop prospects in the league following a sensational 2023 season. He's underwhelmed at Triple-A Charlotte for each of the last two years with a .717 OPS in 185 games, but the White Sox are still ready to give him a chance to presumably take over as their starting shortstop. The move is not yet official, but the promotion will shake up the White Sox's infield, with Josh Rojas looking like a potential playing time loser.

The Angels selected Stevens' contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Stevens has been with Triple-A Salt Lake all season, slashing .307/.383/.542 with 14 homers, 43 RBI and 48 RBI through 298 plate appearances, and he'll now get his first look in the majors following Christian Moore's (thumb) move to the injured list. The 26-year-old Stevens will make his MLB debut Thursday as the Angels' starting second baseman, though Kevin Newman figures to be the favorite to start at the keystone most days for the Halos going forward.

Bichette (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

Bichette tweaked his right knee when he stepped on a ball during batting practice prior to Monday's game versus the Yankees, and he will wind up being out of the lineup for all four games of the series. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Bichette should be available off the bench, however, and it's "very realistic" the shortstop will be back in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Angels, per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Ernie Clement will again handle shortstop, while Will Wagner will be to Clement's right at third base.
