Martin is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

After making 15 straight starts, Martin will sit out for the second time over the last three contests. James Outman will handle left field and bat eighth.

Martinez is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Rangers.

Martinez will begin Friday's festivities on the bench after starting three of the previous four games. It will be Daniel Schneemann in center field and batting seventh for the Guardians.

Rice is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Orioles.

After five consecutive starts, Rice will take a seat in Friday's series opener. The Yankees will roll with Paul Goldschmidt at first base and Austin Wells at catcher.

Grisham is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Orioles.

The left-handed-swinging Grisham will take a seat as the Orioles send lefty Trevor Rogers to the bump. Cody Bellinger will slide over to center field and Austin Slater will receive a start in left field.

Chisholm is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

The left-handed-hitting Chisholm will get a breather as the Orioles send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the hill. Jose Caballero will get the start at second base and bat ninth for the Yankees.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Washington.

Taylor will take a seat for Friday's series opener, giving way to Brooks Baldwin in center field. Taylor has one hit in his last 14 at-bats, with the lone hit being a two-run home run.

The Blue Jays recalled Bruihl from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Bruihl will join the active roster for the final weekend of the regular season, replacing Paxton Schultz in the bullpen. The 28-year-old Bruihl has a 5.68 ERA in 12.2 innings with the Blue Jays this season. He has been with Buffalo since Aug. 30.

The Blue Jays optioned Schultz to the team's spring training complex on Friday.

Schultz is being sent back down after making one scoreless appearance during his most recent stint with the big club. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen will be taken by Justin Bruihl.

Harrison is slated to start Friday's game against the Tigers in Boston.

Harrison stepped in as Boston's fifth starter last weekend at Tampa Bay and aced the test, striking out five while allowing one earned run on four hits and two walks across six innings in a no-decision. The southpaw will be rewarded with another turn through the rotation Friday, and another strong showing could help his case for earning a spot on Boston's postseason roster, should the Red Sox clinch a playoff spot.

The Rays activated Aranda (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Aranda has been on the shelf since late July due to a fractured left wrist, but has rejoined the active roster ahead of the Rays' final series of the regular season. He has been playing in backfield games at the Rays' spring training complex in Florida, and could see some big-league action this weekend. Everson Pereira (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Aranda's return could mean fewer opportunities for Bob Seymour.
