Blue Jays designated RHP Dillon Tate for assignment.

The Blue Jays needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for Michael Stefanic on Friday and unfortunately Tate drew the short straw this time around. He has flashed serious potential in the past, so it’s possible that another bullpen-needy team is willing to take a chance on him on waivers.

Jackson Chourio is not in Milwaukee’s starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Pirates.

It appears to just be a routine day off. Luis Lara is playing left field in Chourio’s absence on Friday, as he’s now spelled in center field, right field, and now left field in three of the last four games. It’s plausible Lara is going to be a governor on any of the other Brewers outfielders seeing full-time action, especially with their sizable lead in the NL Central.

Murakami's return gives White Sox a 'jolt'

James Schiano talks about the impact "rookie superstar" Munetaka Murakami can make upon his return to the Chicago White Sox, where he can strengthen Chicago on and off the field.

Joey Meneses

ATH 1st Baseman #84

Athletics recalled 1B Joey Meneses from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Meneses hit .143/.278/.143 in 18 plate appearances with the Athletics earlier this year, and the Quad-A slugger is hitting .347/.398/.550 in Triple-A Vegas over 327 plate appearances. He’ll give the Athletics a bench bat over the weekend, perhaps spelling Nick Kurtz for a game if Kurtz’s illness lingers.

Zack Gelof

ATH 3rd Baseman #20
Player Stats

Athletics placed INF Zack Gelof on the 10-day injured list with a right knee laceration.

Gelof cut his knee up pretty bad on a sliding catch last night in Detroit. Gelof had sort of swung between third base, second base, and left field since returning from the IL a few days ago, pushing Jeff McNeil (illness) into a bench role. McNeil will likely be more involved at second base over the weekend, pushing Joshua Kuroda-Grauer to third.

Liam Hicks is not in Miami’s starting lineup against the Guardians on Friday.

Hicks is getting a breather against LHP Parker Messick despite starting Miami’s last game against a left-hander. It appears the Marlins will platoon him at times. Hicks is hitting .333/.356/.381 in 45 plate appearances since returning from the injured list at the end of June.

Mets recalled RHP Tobias Myers from Triple-A Syracuse.

Myers will rejoin the low-leverage reliever mix for the Mets over the weekend. He has a 6.21 ERA in 42 innings and has been as disappointing a part of the Freddy Peralta trade as Freddy Peralta has so far.

Zack Short

NYM Shortstop #38
Player Stats

Mets purchased INF Zack Short’s contract from Triple-A Syracuse.

Short went 1-for-8 in three games with the Mets earlier this year. He’ll likely just be bench depth with the occasional start rather than a threat to be in the major league lineup in any real role.

Mark Vientos

NYM 1st Baseman #27
Player Stats

Mets placed 1B/3B Mark Vientos on the 10-day injured list with a right hand fracture.

He’ll miss several weeks, perhaps enough to knock him out until September. Vientos hasn’t been much of a regular since his 2024 run, and proved completely unable to hit right-handed pitchers when given the chance during Jorge Polanco’s absence. He can be dropped in most fantasy leagues at this point.

Colt Emerson is not in Seattle’s starting lineup on Friday against the Rays.

Emerson is 3-for-22 in July, so we’d understand him getting a day to clear his head if that’s what this is. Buddy Kennedy will start at third base with J.P. Crawford at shortstop against RHP Nick Martinez.

Spencer Steer

CIN Left Fielder #7

Spencer Steer is batting third and playing center field in Friday’s game against the Cubs.

Steer has not appeared in a game in center field in his major-league career. So this could be fun. The 28-year-old is hitting .240/.323/.421 this year while mostly batting in the top half of the Reds order over the past month or so. This is a stab at getting T.J. Friedl out of the lineup.
