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.

The Guardians activated Martinez (foot) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Martinez is returning from a six-week absence caused by a fractured left foot. He went 5-for-12 with a home run in four rehab games and will start in right field and bat leadoff in Friday's series opener in Tampa Bay.

Ramirez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

Ramirez started the last two contests upon his activation from the injured list, but he will get a breather Friday as the Guardians ease their star back into things. Gabriel Arias will cover third base.

The Phillies moved Keller (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Keller suffered a brutal blow July 16, tearing his UCL just eight days after returning from the injured list with a forearm injury. The 30-year-old will now officially miss the rest of the 2026 season and potentially the 2027 season if he elects to get surgery to repair his UCL. The Phillies selected Payton Henry's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take over Keller's spot on the 40-man roster.

The Phillies selected Henry's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

With Rafael Marchan hitting the 10-day injured list, Philadelphia selected Henry's contract to add catching depth. The 29-year-old has spent time with both the Yankees' and Phillies' Triple-A affiliates this season, slashing .201/.285/.291 with four homers and 14 RBI in 200 plate appearances. In order to add Henry to the 40-man roster, Philadelphia transferred Brad Keller to the 60-day IL.

Mayo is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand is making a fourth straight start at third base, and this is the first one of those that's come against a right-hander. Mayo has massive splits this season, sporting a 1.071 OPS against lefties and just a .455 OPS versus righties.

The Phillies placed Marchan (knee) on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 23.

After Marchan left Wednesday's game early against the Dodgers with left knee pain, Philadelphia officially transferred him to the IL on Friday. In 92 plate appearances, the 27-year-old has slashed .102/.141/.170 with just two homers and six RBI this season. The Phillies selected Payton Henry's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill Marchan's spot on the active roster.

The Cubs recalled Triantos from Triple-A Iowa on Friday.

He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by Kevin Alcantara, who was optioned to Iowa. Triantos has slashed .306/.344/.440 with seven home runs, 18 stolen bases and a 20:44 BB:K this season and will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game. The 23-year-old's versatility gives him multiple avenues to playing time, but everyday reps are unlikely.

The Royals optioned Morgan to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

Morgan will make his way back to Triple-A after spending two weeks with the big-league club. The 30-year-old made just two appearances since being recalled July 10 with Kansas City. The Royals demoted Morgan to make room for Nate Pearson on the active roster.
