Abreu left the game in the eighth inning Friday with the finger issue. He is not in the Saturday lineup in Houston.

Astros first baseman Chris Carter had two RBI in Friday's loss to the White Sox. 

Carter went 2 for 4, lifting his average to .185. His two runs driven in gave him 26 on the year.  

White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu left Friday's game in the eighth inning, with a finger injury. 

Abreu was 2 for 4 with a run scored when he left. He was taken to the hospital for X-rays, per Comcast Sports Net Chicago. 

Abreu said he initially hurt the finger about two weeks ago and has been playing through it. 

Blue Jays left fielder Chris Colabello hit a game-winning home run in Friday's win over Minnesota. 

Colabello hit a two-run shot in the top of the ninth to break a 4-4 tie. He went 1 for 4 on the night and hit his fourth home run. He now has 14 RBI. 

Indians first baseman Carlos Santana, currently on the paternity list, is expected to rejoin the team on Sunday in Seattle, according to Cleveland.com.

Indians first baseman Carlos Santana is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Seattle. 

Santana will be replaced at first for the second straight game by Brandon Moss, who moves from right to make his sixth start of the year at first base. 

David Murphy moves into right field to replace Moss, for his fifth start there this year. 

A trio of ailing Rays are ready to roll Friday night in Baltimore. Outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (ankle), shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera (groin) and right fielder Steven Souza are all in the lineup.

Cabrera and Souza had missed the last three games while Kiermaier lost no time to his ailment.

Indians first baseman Carlos Santana has been placed on the paternity list, the team announced Thursday. Santana, who has two home runs in his last three games, will be away from the team for no more than three games. 

The team called up pitcher Austin Adams and outfielder Jerry Sands from Triple-A, as pitcher Scott Atchison was also placed on the 15-day disabled list. 

Jose Abreu was the hero for the White Sox in their extra-inning victory over the Blue Jays on Wednesday. Abreu initially gave the team an early 2-0 lead with a two-run double in the third inning. 

Then, after the Blue Jays tied the game in the ninth, Abreu tripled and later scored in the 10th inning, helping to secure the 5-3 win. He finished a home run shy of the cycle, finishing with a three-hit performance. 

Though his 17-game hitting streak recently came to an end, Abreu hasn't stopped hitting. He has now hit safely in 20 of his last 22 games, lifting his average up to .284 on the year. 

Despite being hit by a pitch on his wrist and undergoing X-rays Tuesday, Indians first baseman Carlos Santana had a big game on Wednesday. In the team's win over the Rangers, Santana went 1 for 3 with a three-run home run in the third inning. It was Santana's sixth homer of the season, and second in his last three games.

Santana also walked twice and scored twice on Wednesday. He is still batting a low .221 on the season, but he has now reached base safely via a hit or a walk in eight straight games.
