The Rays selected Seymour's contract from Triple-A Durham on Friday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

The move is now official after Tampa Bay optioned Tristan Peters to Triple-A and released Logan Driscoll in order to make room for Seymour on the 40-man and 26-man rosters. Seymour is expected to see significant playing time at designated hitter for the Rays after smashing 30 home runs at Triple-A this season ahead of his promotion.

The Brewers reinstated Misiorowski (lower leg) from the 15-day injured list, and he'll start Friday's game against the Reds in Cincinnati, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The rookie right-hander landed on the shelf in early August due to a tibia contusion, and he'll rejoin Milwaukee's rotation after a minimum-length stay on the injured list. In his first seven big-league starts, Misiorowski has posted a 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB across 33.1 innings. He could have a limited workload in his first start back since he's returning without a rehab assignment.

The Rays released Driscoll (ankle) on Friday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Driscoll appeared in 15 games for the Rays last season and slashed a forgettable .171/.189/.257 with one home run, five RBI, two runs scored and a 1:6 BB:K across 37 plate appearances. Driscoll rolled his ankle during spring training and hasn't played in 2025.

Atlanta outrighted Leon to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Leon will cede his spot on the 26-man and 40-man roster Friday in response to Ronald Acuna's (calf) reinstatement from the 10-day injured list. Leon struck out in his only plate appearance during his stint in the bigs. Leon will have the option to elect free agency or remain within Atlanta's organization.

The Rays optioned Peters to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

The move was made in order to make room for Bob Seymour. Peters made his MLB debut with Tampa Bay last week and appeared in four games. He failed to record a hit over 12 plate appearances, striking out seven times.

Atlanta activated Acuna (calf) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

As expected, Acuna will rejoin the active roster Friday for the start of a three-game set in Cleveland. The right fielder had been on the shelf since July 30 with a calf strain. Sandy Leon was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. Acuna's return means fewer opportunities for Eli White and Vidal Brujan in right field. Acuna is batting third and playing right field in Friday's game against the Guardians.

Young is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Philadelphia.

Young will cede center field duties to Robert Hassell for the third time in four games Friday. Each of Young's absences during that stretch has come against right-handed pitchers, and the 25-year-old may be slipping into a short-side platoon role with the lefty-hitting Hassell. Young has four hits and a 28 percent K rate in his last 46 at-bats.

The Yankees released Vargas on Friday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Vargas received $2.5 million to sign with the Yankees back in August of 2018, one of the largest bonuses given to an international prospect that year. The 23-year-old shortstop made his way up to Double-A this season but slashed just .227/.299/.333 with one homer and 10 stolen bases at Somerset before being cut loose.

Baty is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

Baty will get a breather after making four consecutive starts, three at third base and one at second. Ronny Mauricio will bat ninth and handle the hot corner instead. Baty has a .712 OPS in 310 plate appearances this season.

Marte is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

It's the second straight game on the bench for Marte, who prior to Thursday started four of the previous five contests and went 7-for-17 with two homers during that stretch. Mark Vientos is batting sixth as the designated hitter in the series opener versus Seattle righty Luis Castillo.
