Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Chisholm (thumb) is expected to return from the injured list during New York's upcoming homestand, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Chisholm has been on the shelf since Sept. 10 due to a sprained right thumb, and although Boone didn't give an exact date for when Chisholm will be activated, the second baseman appears to have made encouraging progress in his recovery. He'll presumably spend the rest of the weekend ramping up baseball activities before the team determines his availability for Tuesday's series opener against the Rays.

Schanuel (side) returned from his rehab assignment Friday and isn't expected to get activated from the injured list before the end of the season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Schanuel was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake last weekend, but he appeared in just one game Sunday and hasn't played since. He rejoined the team Friday to undergo further testing and receive treatment, and although the results of his latest tests are unknown, manager Kurt Suzuki said that the 24-year-old will most likely be shut down for the year. Vaughn Grissom is expected to continue working as the Angels' primary first baseman for the rest of the regular season.

The Angels placed Paris on the 10-day injured list Friday with a fractured right index finger, retroactive to Tuesday

Paris said Friday that he injured himself while fielding grounders before Thursday's game, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. The 24-year-old is expected to need 3-to-4 weeks to recover, which rules him out for the rest of the season but leaves him plenty of time to be ready for 2027. Bryce Teodosio was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to replenish the Halos' bench depth.

Teodosio replaces Kyren Paris (finger), who was sent to the 10-day injured list.

The Rangers transferred Winn (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Winn was placed on the injured list Aug. 31 with a right rotator cuff strain, and moving to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out for the rest of the season. His place on the 40-man roster will be given to Michel Otanez, who was selected to the active roster Friday.

Gimenez is not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup against the Rangers on Friday due to a hamstring injury, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gimenez has been working through hamstring soreness for the past couple of days, and while he could be available off the bench Friday, the Blue Jays would prefer for him to rest up and be cleared to return for Saturday's contest. In Gimenez's absence, Ernie Clement will start at shortstop while Josh Smith gets the draw at second base.

Santander (shoulder/back) is scheduled to play in the outfield for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Santander was briefly shut down due to lower-back soreness, but he's been cleared to return to action Friday and is expected to play 5-to-7 innings. He's on track to play a full game in the outfield Sunday, and there's a chance that he plays for the Blue Jays before the 2026 regular season concludes.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that it "would be tough" for Bieber (shoulder) to return from the 15-day injured list before the end of the regular season, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Bieber is scheduled to throw a side session Saturday, and the Blue Jays are hoping that the veteran right-hander can return if the team qualifies for the playoffs. Bieber continues to recover from right teres major inflammation that landed him on the 15-day injured list in late August.

The Rangers promoted Otanez from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.
