Martinez started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 11-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

Martinez was activated from the injured list Friday and played his first MLB game since June 13. He missed six weeks due to a fractured left foot.

Montgomery (elbow) will make the seventh start of his rehab assignment Saturday in the first game of Triple-A Round Rock's doubleheader with Albuquerque, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

After turning in a 2.25 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 11:0 K:BB in 12 innings across his first five rehab starts between Round Rock and Double-A Frisco, Montgomery was roughed up for six earned runs on seven hits over 2.2 innings in his most recent outing with the Triple-A club last weekend. Montgomery was still able to reach 53 pitches in that appearance, and if he's able to build on that workload Saturday, he could be cleared to return from the 60-day injured list during the upcoming week. Montgomery has been on the shelf all season while recovering from UCL surgery, which he underwent last March.

Meidroth went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI on Friday against the Astros.

Meidroth was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the first inning to account for his first RBI, and then he tallied an additional RBI with a double in the fifth. The performance continued his strong July, as he's hitting .295 with nine RBI and seven runs scored across 17 contests.

Antonacci went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Astros.

Antonacci got the White Sox's offense rolling early, singling in his first at-bat before stealing second base and coming around to score. That marked his third stolen base in July and 14th of the season. Antonacci continues to excel in the leadoff spot for Chicago, as he has 10 runs scored, eight RBI and three home runs across his last 17 games.

Prielipp (finger) threw a bullpen session at Target Field on Thursday and is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday's home game versus the Athletics, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

The Twins have yet to announce a starter for Saturday's contest, but all signs point to Prielipp getting the nod, assuming his bullpen session went according to plan. Minnesota placed Prielipp on the IL on July 9 after he developed a blister on his middle finger, with the trip to the shelf enabling the Twins to manage his workload during the second half of the season. Prielipp -- who underwent elbow surgeries in 2021 and 2023 -- is already up to 85.1 innings this season between the majors and Triple-A St. Paul, after he tossed a career-high 101.1 innings across three minor-league affiliates in 2025. He was limited to three frames during his rehab start with St. Paul last weekend, and it wouldn't be surprising if Prielipp were capped at around four or five innings in his first start back from the IL.

Outman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Outman will move to the bench for a second straight game after starting five of Detroit's first seven games after the All-Star break. Riley Greene, Matt Vierling and Zach McKinstry will patrol the outfield while Outman rests.

Anderson struck out seven batters over five perfect innings in a start with Double-A Arkansas on Friday.

Presumably due to rest, Anderson hadn't taken the mound in three weeks before Friday, but he picked up right where he left off and showed no signs of rust. The Mariners plans for Anderson over the rest of 2026 aren't clear, but with the lefty sporting a 1.27 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and eye-popping 115:10 K:BB in 77.2 innings on the season, it's evident Double-A batters are no match for him.

Torkelson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Torkelson will get a day off Saturday after going 0-for-7 with five strikeouts through the first two games of the series. His absence will put Colt Keith at first base, allowing Hao-Yu Lee to start at the hot corner.

Dingler isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Dingler will step out of the lineup Saturday after going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and a hit-by-pitch in Friday's contest. Jake Rogers will fill in as the Tigers' catcher and bat ninth.

Caglianone (shoulder) will start in right field and bat third Saturday against Detroit.

Caglianone missed out on the starting lineup in each of Kansas City's last three games due to a sore right shoulder, though he was able to enter Friday's game off the bench. Now that the issue appears to have subsided, he'll return to the starting nine and look to remain hot after having accumulated a 10-game hitting streak earlier this month.
