Adames went 4-for-5 with a double, two homers and five total RBI in Friday's 7-1 win over the Guardians.

The 27-year-old started the scoring with an RBI single in the opening frame and followed up with homers in the sixth and ninth innings to power Milwaukee's offense. Adames entered Friday's contest with a .529 OPS, one homer and two RBI in 13 games since returning from a concussion June 7, so the offensive outburst was a welcome sight. The performance improved his season slash line to .216/.294/.398, and he now has 12 long balls, 34 RBI and 34 runs through 65 games.

De La Cruz hit for the cycle Friday, going 4-for-5 with a solo homer, four total RBI, three runs scored and a steal in an 11-10 victory over Atlanta.

The 21-year-old became the first Reds player to hit for the cycle since Eric Davis in 1989. He added a steal for good measure, keeping him perfect on the basepaths at 7-for-7 in steal attempts. Friday's game was just De La Cruz's 15th in the majors, but he's already emerging as one of the club's leaders with a .361/.418/.656 slash line and all kinds of flare and personality to go with it. The Reds have won 12 straight games and De La Cruz has been a driving force, as he has more than lived up to the hype since his arrival.

Anderson (shoulder) was added to the White Sox's lineup for Friday's game against Boston.

Anderson was initially held out of Friday's lineup in favor of Zach Remillard, but Anderson officially will start for the first time since Saturday. His shoulder is still limiting his ability to throw -- hence his start at second base -- but he should still be healthy enough to resume starting every day. The 30-year-old infielder is slashing .249/.290/.292 through 221 plate appearances this year.

Marcano isn't starting Friday against the Marlins, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Friday marks the third straight game Marcano will begin in the dugout, although two have been against lefty starters. Rodolfo Castro will start at shortstop and bat sixth.

Anderson (shoulder) is not in Friday's lineup against the Red Sox.

He originally injured his right shoulder a week ago and most recently appeared off the bench Tuesday against the Rangers. Elvis Andrus will start at shortstop while Zach Remillard will start at the keystone.

Reyes (abdomen) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Reyes will head to the injured list following an early departure Thursday with what is now understood to be an abdominal strain. David Hamilton is starting at shortstop Friday, and he could split time with Enrique Hernandez while Reyes is on the shelf.

Reyes (undisclosed) is not in the starting lineup Friday against the White Sox, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Reyes was removed from Thursday's series finale with Minnesota early and he will now miss at least one contest while nursing whatever injury he sustained. It's possible that the 29-year-old reaggravated the abdominal issue that forced him to miss Tuesday and Wednesday's games. David Hamilton will draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth in the series opener with Chicago.

Crawford (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Orioles, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Crawford will miss a third straight game as he continues to nurse an injured right shoulder following a collision during Tuesday's game with the Yankees. Jose Caballero will slide over to shortstop while Kolten Wong enters the lineup at second base and bats seventh versus Baltimore.

Bichette (thumb) is starting Friday against Oakland.

Bichette was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to thumb soreness, but he's ready to go after an extra day of rest Thursday. The 25-year-old shortstop is currently on an eight-game hitting streak and is slashing .313/.333/.469 with three RBI in that span.

Camargo signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Friday.

Camargo was let go by the Royals on Thursday and will now attempt to get back to the majors with a new organization. The 29-year-old infielder has impressed in a small sample in the minors this season, slashing .298/.412/.544 through 68 plate appearances.
