DeLauter (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Friday's matchup with the Royals.

DeLauter, absent from the starting lineup for the previous three games, is seemingly past the worst of his hamstring issue. The 24-year-old entered the Guardians' most recent game against the Angels and contributed to a comeback win with a single in the ninth. DeLauter will act as the designated hitter and bat second for Cleveland's series opener against Kansas City.

McKinstry is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup with the Dodgers.

McKinstry will not face his old teammate Tarik Skubal on Friday, as he rides the bench against the left-hander. Ben Malgeri will take over in right field and bat sixth for Detroit.

Keith is absent from the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Dodgers.

With the Dodgers sending southpaw Tarik Skubal to the mound, Keith will sit out against his former teammate. Detroit will send Hao-Yu Lee to man the hot corner and bat second.

Story (sports hernia) remains with Triple-A Worcester on his rehab assignment Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Though he is scheduled for a day off Friday, Story will stay with Worcester rather than rejoin the Red Sox for their series this weekend against the Yankees. Boston will return home to host the Mariners on Monday, and that could be the day the Red Sox are eyeing for Story's return. Out since mid-May following sports hernia surgery, Story is 5-for-32 with a 1:10 BB:K in his first nine rehab games.

Anthony (finger) was spotted Friday at Polar Park with Triple-A Worcester, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.

The Red Sox had left open the possibility that Anthony could be activated from the 60-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Yankees. However, Anthony's presence at Worcester suggests he will continue his rehab assignment for at least one more day. The Red Sox begin a homestand Monday, so perhaps the club is targeting that day for Anthony's return to the active roster. Out since early May with a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger, Anthony is 7-for-23 with two home runs in his first seven rehab contests.

The White Sox promoted Gilbert from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Gilbert will make his first appearance with the big-league club since early June after being sidelined for almost two months with a shoulder injury. Over 20 games in Charlotte, the southpaw owns a 5-2 record, 4.64 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB in 33 innings this season. Chicago placed Tyler Schweitzer on paternity leave to create room for Gilbert on the active roster.

The White Sox placed Schweitzer on the paternity leave list Friday.

Schweitzer will miss up to three contests while welcoming a new child to the family. The White Sox recalled Tyler Gilbert to fill Schweitzer's spot in the bullpen.

The White Sox reinstated Benintendi from the bereavement/family medical emergency list Friday.

Benintendi missed the minimum three days on the bereavement list. This season, the 31-year-old is slashing .244/.306/.419 with 13 homers and 65 RBI over 393 plate appearances. The White Sox open a three-game set against the Twins with right-hander Dean Kremer toeing the slab Friday, so Benintendi figures to jump right back into the lineup.

Way (back/shoulder) was pulled off his rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha and will be re-evaluated Friday in Kansas City, per MLB.com.

Way made two rehab appearances, one with Double-A Northwest Arkansas and another with Triple-A Omaha, without experiencing any issues related to the low-back spasms and tightness that landed him on the injured list. However, mild right shoulder discomfort has now paused his progress. The 27-year-old has made 19 appearances with the Royals this season, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB across 23.1 innings, but any kind of significant setback in his recovery could prevent him from pitching in the majors again in 2026.

Chisholm went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases in a loss to Houston on Thursday.

Chisholm's speed was on display throughout the contest -- his one hit was an infield single, and he swiped second base following that knock and after a fifth-inning walk. The veteran infielder has stolen at least one base in three consecutive contests and has recorded seven thefts across his past 10 games. That's pushed Chisholm up to 38 stolen bases on the season, two shy of his career-high mark and second overall in the majors this year.
