Gil (shoulder) threw a live batting practice session Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

It appears to be the first time Gil has faced hitters since he was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in early May with right shoulder inflammation. A return to game action seems imminent, but it's unlikely Gil will be an option for the Yankees anytime soon.

Jung (calf) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

Jung was removed from Tuesday's game versus the White Sox with left calf tightness. He sat out Wednesday and the Rangers had an off day Thursday, but Jung still isn't ready to rejoin the lineup. Ezequiel Duran will again fill in at third base.

The Athletics recalled Morales from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

After spending over a month with the Triple-A club, Morales will make his way back to the Athletics. With Las Vegas, the 23-year-old posted a 7.18 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 57:33 K:BB in 52.2 innings this season. The A's optioned Yunior Tur to Las Vegas to make room for Morales on the active roster.

Wells is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Philadelphia.

Wells will ride the bench for his second consecutive game after sitting out the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Pittsburgh. Ali Sanchez will be behind the plate and bat ninth for the Yankees.

Chisholm is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Phillies.

Chisholm will take his first rest day since the All-Star break for Friday's series opener. Jose Caballero will play second base and bat eighth for the Yankees.

The Guardians optioned Dion to Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Dion logged three appearances during his most recent stint with the big club, yielding two runs with a 7:0 K:BB over 4.1 innings. He'll be replaced on the roster by Tim Herrin (elbow), who is back from the injured list.

The Guardians optioned Schneemann to Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Schneemann had been with the Guardians all season, but he's slashed just .155/.222/.213 since May 1. His roster spot will be filled by Angel Martinez (foot), who is back from the injured list.

Walls (fingers) is out of the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Guardians.

Walls will miss his second consecutive game after hyperextending his middle and ring fingers on his left hand in Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. Ben Williamson will once again man shortstop and bat eighth for Tampa Bay.

The Guardians activated Herrin (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Herrin required only a minimum absence while working his way back from a left elbow contusion. He'll slide back into a left-handed setup role.

Kwan is absent from the Guardians lineup for Friday's series opener against the Rays.

Despite picking up at least one hit in nine of his last 10 games, Kwan will ride the bench Friday. David Fry will take over in left field and bat fifth for Cleveland.
