Rojas was removed from Saturday's game against the White Sox with an apparent injury, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Rojas appeared to be bothered by something during his plate appearance in the seventh inning and was lifted for a pinch runner after drawing a walk. It's unclear what exactly the veteran infielder is dealing with, but the Dodgers should provide more details in the near future.

Seager (ribs/jaw) isn't in the starting lineup versus Boston on Saturday.

Seager was involved in a collision at home plate Thursday against Kansas City and will sit out a second straight game due to resulting injuries to his ribs and jaw. However, he's reportedly feeling better, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, and is considered day-to-day. Nicky Lopez is starting at shortstop Saturday in Seager's stead.

Henderson went 3-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

The 24-year-old took Griffin Canning deep in the fourth inning, giving Henderson his 14th homer of the season and the 100th of his career. He's the fourth-youngest player in Orioles history to reach that milestone, behind Boog Powell, Hall of Famer Eddie Murray and Friday's opponent Manny Machado. Henderson has banged out three or more hits in five of his last 25 contests, slashing .277/.360/.475 over that stretch with five doubles, five homers, one steal, 11 RBI and 15 runs.

Bichette went 2-for-3 with two home runs and six RBI in Friday's 7-5 win over Atlanta.

The 28-year-old started the scoring with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first inning, followed up with a grand slam in the second and then delivered a sacrifice fly in the fourth to account for all but one of the Mets' runs. The RBI total matches a career high for Bichette, who has now homered in each of the past two contests and is batting .316 (12-for-38) with six extra-base hits, 12 RBI and five runs through 10 games in June.

Walls went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.

Walls has turned up the speed lately, logging four steals over his last five games. He's gone 3-for-11 with two walks and a hit-by-pitch in that span, so he's making the most of his chances on the basepaths. For the season, the shortstop has logged 10 steals on 12 attempts. He's batting. 215 with a .600 OPS, zero home runs, 15 RBI, 23 runs scored, six doubles and two triples over 178 plate appearances.

Tovar was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics due to lower left leg soreness, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Tovar took a foul ball off his leg during Sunday's contest and will now take a seat while he deals with some lingering soreness. Willi Castro will shift to shortstop as a result, opening up second base for Chad Stevens.

Adames (lower body) will start at shortstop and bat sixth Friday against the Cubs, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

Adames sat out the Giants' last game Wednesday due to pain in his lower half, but he's been cleared to return to action for Friday's series opener against the Cubs. The 30-year-old backstop has slugged three home runs in nine games since the start of June but is 0-for-17 with nine strikeouts in his last four contests.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Friday that Seager is considered "day-to-day" due to rib and jaw injuries that he sustained during Thursday's game against the Royals, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Seager was shaken up after colliding with Carter Jensen at home plate during Thursday's game. Seager will take a seat for at least one game while Ezequiel Duran starts at shortstop and bats fifth for Friday's series opener.

The Athletics reinstated Wilson (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Wilson has been given the green light to return to the Athletics after fully recovering from a dislocated left shoulder that he suffered in early May. Now that he's back in the picture, Alika Williams is set to see less playing time in the infield. The move corresponds with Brent Rooker (knee) being placed on the 10-day injured list.

The Tigers designated Short for assignment Friday.

The Tigers needed to make room on the 40-man roster after claiming James Outman off waivers. Short had been losing out on playing time, and with Zach McKinstry playing more infield following the addition of Outman, there was simply no role left for Short, per Jason Beck of MLB.com. Short is slashing .167/.304/.222 with two RBI over 46 plate appearances this season.
