Interim manager Chad Tracy said that Gonzalez (shoulder) won't be activated off the injured list before Saturday's game against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Gonzalez said earlier this week that he was aiming to return to the active roster Saturday. He'll ultimately fall short of his goal, though Tracy noted that the 29-year-old infielder still has a chance to return for Sunday's series finale, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. Gonzalez has gone 2-for-18 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored since beginning his rehab assignment June 16.

The White Sox recalled Schweitzer from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Since being sent down to Triple-A in mid-May, Schweitzer has posted a 7.71 ERA and 1.86 WHIP across 21 innings at Charlotte. Despite his poor performance, he'll return to the big leagues to give Chicago a bit of extra bullpen depth following David Sandlin's demotion. Schweitzer will likely be limited to low-leverage work as long as he's up with the White Sox.

The White Sox optioned Sandlin to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Sandlin gave up just one run over six innings during his start against the Royals on Friday, but he'll now head back to Triple-A with Noah Schultz (knee) expected to rejoin Chicago's rotation next week. Tyler Schweitzer was recalled from Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Bloss (elbow) has produced an 8.18 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB in 11 innings over three starts between Triple-A Buffalo and Double-A New Hampshire since being reinstated from Buffalo's 60-day injured list June 11.

Bloss opened the season on Buffalo's IL while completing his recovery from UCL repair surgery, which he underwent last May. He kicked off a rehab assignment May 12 and made five starts between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Dunedin before Buffalo activated him from the IL and assigned him to New Hampshire. After a lone start at the Double-A level, the right-hander was moved back to Buffalo for his last two outings. Bloss had been sharp throughout his rehab assignment, but he looks like he'll need some more time to shake off rust in the upper levels of the minors before potentially getting a look with the Blue Jays later on this season.

Warren (7-3) took the loss against the Red Sox on Friday, giving up five earned runs on seven hits and three strikeouts while failing to record a strikeout in 5.2 innings.

Warren put himself into a hole early Friday, giving up a triple to Wilyer Abreu in the first inning before Willson Contreras drove him home during the ensuing at-bat. Boston put up three more runs over the next two innings, capped off by a solo home run from Contreras. Warren now owns a 5.49 ERA and 1.88 WHIP with a 14:10 K:BB since the beginning of June following this poor showing, but he'll have a chance to redeem himself during his next start at home against Detroit.

Tolle (4-5) earned the win Friday against the Yankees, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out seven batters over seven shutout innings.

Tolle took a perfect game into the sixth inning, but his bid at history came to an end when Spencer Jones blooped a single into left field with one away in the frame. The Yankees managed two more baserunners in the seventh, but none were able to score on Tolle, who had his best stuff working Friday. His win snaps a streak of three consecutive losses, and he'll carry a 2.78 ERA and 1.02 WHIP into his start against the Nationals next week.

Quantrill is slated to start Saturday's game against the Blue Jays in Toronto.

Quantrill will be making his second start in five days, though he'll likely be limited to around 2-to-3 innings after covering two frames and tossing 34 pitches as an opener in front of Jose Corniell in Tuesday's loss to the Marlins. Corniell has since been demoted to Triple-A Round Rock, but Winston Santos hasn't been used following his call-up from Double-A Frisco on Wednesday and could end up covering multiple innings behind Quantrill on Saturday.

Okamoto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Rangers.

Once again, the third baseman provided some late power that his teammates couldn't capitalize on, as Okamoto deposited a Jakob Junis sweeper into the seats in left-center field in the eighth inning to bring the Blue Jays within a run in a 5-4 loss. Over the last 13 games, Okamoto's produced a .326/.415/.783 slash line with six of his 19 homers on the season and 15 of his 53 RBI.

Chisholm isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

Chisholm has gone just 1-for-10 at the plate while facing a left-handed starter in each of his last three games, so the Yankees will move him to the bench to begin Saturday's matchup against southpaw Jake Bennett. Jose Caballero will cover second base while Anthony Volpe starts at shortstop.

Springer is expected to be placed on paternity leave this weekend, Gregor Chisholm of the Toronto Star reports.

The veteran slugger would be afforded up to three days away while on the paternity list. Springer is still struggling to produce consistent offense this season, and over 20 games in June he's slashing just .224/.341/.382 with three homers, seven RBI and 11 runs. While he's away from the team, the Blue Jays are expected to promote prospect Sean Keys.
