Mangum is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Mangum will take a seat for the second time in three games. Christopher Morel, Everson Pereira and Josh Lowe will fill the outfield from left to right.

The Tigers reinstated Finnegan (groin) from the injured list Friday.

Finnegan has sat out the entire month of September while dealing with a right groin strain. He made one rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, striking out one batter and walking another over two-thirds of an inning, and he now has the green light to return to Detroit's bullpen. The 34-year-old righty has pitched 14.1 shutout frames with a 19:3 K:BB since joining the Tigers at the trade deadline and could get save opportunities down the stretch.

Edwards (wrist) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

Edwards is absent from the starting nine for a sixth consecutive game due to right wrist soreness. Graham Pauley will bat eighth and play second base.

Senga allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four across 3.2 innings in a start with Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Senga fanned eight over six innings of one-run ball in his first outing after being demoted to Syracuse, so Thursday's performance was a clear step backward. With Syracuse's season ending Sunday, the plan is for Senga to throw either a simulated game or live batting practice session next, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. It's looking unlikely at this point that Senga will be able to show enough to convince the Mets he should be included on their postseason roster, should they qualify.

Caminero (back tightness) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Boston.

Caminero is out of the lineup for a second straight game after being lifted from Wednesday's contest with mid-back tightness. Tristan Gray will bat sixth and play third base Friday. Caminero is taking swings in the batting cage Friday, and if all goes well, he'll be back in action Saturday.

The Phillies optioned Lantigua to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Lantigua will cede his spot on the 28-man roster to Alec Bohm (shoulder) as Bohm returns from the 10-day injured list. Lantigua didn't appear in a game for the Phillies. He's slashed .233/.360/.334 with seven home runs and 17 stolen bases across 490 plate appearances with Lehigh Valley.

Hicklen cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Hicklen was designated for assignment Tuesday, but he'll remain within the Phillies organization at Triple-A. The outfielder has slashed .218/.288/.437 with eight home runs and seven stolen bases across 132 plate appearances for Lehigh Valley this season.

The Phillies activated Bohm (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Bohm missed the minimum 10 days with a cyst in his left shoulder. He did not go out on a rehab assignment but put in the necessary work to convince the Phillies he was ready to go. With Bohm back in the fold, Otto Kemp could either play some second base versus lefties or shift to a reserve role.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Scheemann isn't part of the starting nine for a third consecutive contest. Steven Kwan, Angel Martinez and C.J. Kayfus will fill the outfield from left to right.

Rivas is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

Rivas is on the bench for the third time in four games, with Jorge Polanco manning second base. Rivas has one hit in his last 16 at-bats, but he has a pair of stolen bases and a 5:4 BB:K during that stretch.
