The Mariners placed Milner on the family medical emergency list Friday.

By rule, Milner will remain on the list for 3-to-7 days. He's been replaced on the active roster by Troy Taylor.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said earlier this week that Fried would be piggybacked by Will Warren during Friday's game in San Diego, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Assuming Boone's plan hasn't changed since he first mentioned the piggyback plan Tuesday, Fried will operate with a restricted workload Friday that could make it difficult for him to hit the five innings required to qualify for a win. After missing time with a left elbow bone bruise, Fried returned from the 15-day injured list last Saturday and started the second game of a doubleheader versus the Red Sox, giving up one run while striking out four batters over 3.2 innings and 63 pitches.

Urquidy gave up one hit over a scoreless inning of relief in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Astros.

After the White Sox recalled him from Triple-A Charlotte on Aug. 14, Urquidy had been deployed as either a starter or bulk reliever in each of his four appearances, turning in a 4.58 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB in 17.2 innings. With Davis Martin returning from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, however, Urquidy looks set to work in a traditional relief role. He'll likely be used primarily in lower-leverage spots much like he was Thursday, when he came on to pitch the eighth inning while the White Sox trailed by four runs.

Fedde is slated to start Friday's game against the Twins at Rate Field, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

With the White Sox bringing Davis Martin back from the injured list and adding him to the rotation Wednesday, Fedde looks like he'll get the nod as the club's fifth starter over Jose Urquidy, who tossed a scoreless inning in relief in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Astros. While serving as a starter or bulk reliever in each of his last three appearances, Fedde has posted a 1.32 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB across 13.2 innings.

Ryan (hamstring/paternity) is expected to be cleared to pitch in games again soon, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Ryan has not pitched since June because of a hamstring strain, and he's also been away on paternity leave recently. The 27-year-old was acquired from the Dodgers at the trade deadline in the Tarik Skubal deal, and he will be making his organizational debut when he gets into a game. The Tigers remain optimistic that Ryan can pitch for them before the end of this season, but it's not a given after such a long layoff.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that Flaherty (forearm) could begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo this weekend, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Flaherty has progressed well of late as he ramps up his throwing progression, and he could test things out in a game setting soon. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since late July with right forearm flexor inflammation. Flaherty could need a couple rehab appearances before rejoining the Tigers' rotation later this month.

The White Sox optioned Romo to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

He's losing his spot on the active roster in order to make space for the return of Kyle Teel (ankle). Romo had been sharing the catcher job lately with Jake Rogers, who will stick around as Teel's backup.

The White Sox activated Teel (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Teel landed on the IL just after the All-Star break with a left high-ankle sprain, but he's been deemed fit to return after going 7-for-22 with one home run and one double in six rehab contests. The young catcher has been limited to only 19 games in the big leagues this season due to injury, slashing .190/.271/.317 in those tilts. Teel will serve as the primary catcher for the White Sox down the stretch, though the left-handed hitter could sit in favor of Jake Rogers versus lefties.

Peck is not in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Peck started at shortstop each of the last two days and will likely man the position in Friday's nightcap, but he'll begin the matinee on the bench. Javier Baez will cover shortstop and bat ninth in the first game of the twin bill.

Bateman went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's win over the Guardians.

It's Bateman's third three-hit performance in his last 11 games as he continues to provide a jolt to the top of the Blue Jays' batting order. Over that stretch, the rookie center fielder has a stunning .395/.449/.488 slash line with two doubles, a triple, two steals, three RBI and 10 runs scored.
