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.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.

Lindor kicked things off with a leadoff homer off Kyle Freeland. Lindor came across home plate in the third on a Juan Soto RBI double before finishing things off with another solo shot in the eighth. It was Lindor's second multi-homer game of the season, and the 31-year-old shortstop is slashing .278/.347/.480 with 10 steals, 12 home runs and 33 RBI across 259 plate appearances this season.

Betts will get X-rays after injuring a toe on his left foot Wednesday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Betts stubbed his left toe at home Wednesday and is considered day-to-day until results from the X-ray come back. Miguel Rojas -- who is starting at shortstop against the Yankees on Friday -- would stand to see more playing time if Betts is forced to the injured list. Betts has slashed .258/.336/.402 with three steals, four home runs and 12 RBI in 110 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

Betts isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

After going 2-for-12 with an RBI and two runs scored during the Dodgers' last series in Cleveland, Betts will take a seat to begin a three-game set against New York. Miguel Rojas will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Allen (hand) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Allen was struck in the hand by a pitch during Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies, and he'll miss at least one start due to the injury. The 26-year-old already had X-rays come back negative and may not miss much additional time.

The Marlins selected Winkler's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

The 26-year-old will receive his first taste of the majors after posting a .754 OPS with five homers and 15 stolen bases in 41 games with Jacksonville to begin the season. Winkler can play all over the infield defensively and should fill a utility role with the Marlins.

Winkler is expected to be called up from Triple-A Jacksonville by the Marlins on Friday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Winkler has enjoyed a productive start to the season with Jacksonville and has a .275/.331/.423 slash line with five homers and 15 steals in 41 games. The 26-year-old doesn't seem to have a path to regular playing time, though his ability to play all over the infield could help him see the field as a utility player.

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.

Abrams went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Mariners.

It's been a cold stretch at the dish for Abrams, who got just his second hit in his last six games Thursday. The speedy shortstop has gone 2-for-24 with no RBI during this span, and he hasn't stolen a base since May 15. The month of May has been kind to Abrams overall, however, as he's batting .277 with 12 extra-base hits, eight RBI, four steals and 21 runs scored through his last 101 at-bats.

X-rays on Allen's hand returned negative after he was forced to leave Thursday's game against the Phillies, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Allen was clipped in the hand by a pitch in the third inning and was removed immediately after. It appears he's avoided a long-term injury, though his status for Atlanta's weekend series against Boston is unclear.
