The Red Sox recalled Seigler from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

With Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the injured list due to forearm inflammation, Seigler will rejoin the big club to help bolster Boston's infield depth. The 27-year-old has spent the vast majority of the season at Triple-A, slashing .289/.405/.437 with three homers, 23 RBI and 18 runs scored through 163 plate appearances. He could make an occasional start while the Red Sox are without Kiner-Falefa and Nick Sogard (oblique), though Andruw Monasterio is likely the frontrunner for regular playing time.

The Blue Jays acquired Urias from the Diamondbacks on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Urias, an eight-year MLB veteran, has played well this season at the Triple-A level in the Pacific Coast League (.939 OPS in 27 games) and is expected to join Toronto's major-league squad after exercising an upward mobility clause in his contract. Zwelling notes Urias' low chase rates throughout his time in the majors made him an appealing target for the Blue Jays, and the 29-year-old will now receive another big-league opportunity in his new organization.

The Red Sox placed Kiner-Falefa on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Friday, with left forearm inflammation, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Kiner-Falefa was a late scratch from the lineup before Friday's game, and his forearm will now force him to remain sidelined until at least June 29. Andruw Monasterio is a likely candidate to pick up extra starts in the infield while Kiner-Falefa is out, and Anthony Seigler will come up from Triple-A Worcester to add to Boston's infield depth.

Clement (hip) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Clement will miss a second consecutive start Saturday due to hip soreness. The 30-year-old had been playing through his injury for a while prior to sitting out Friday's game, though he may have to spend time on the injured list if he doesn't rejoin the lineup within the next couple of days. Davis Schneider will start at second base and bat seventh Saturday.

Meidroth isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

The White Sox will give Meidroth a break Saturday after he went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts during a loss in Friday's series opener. Sam Antonacci will shift to second base, opening up left field for Randal Grichuk.

Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

The star infielder looked none the worse for wear despite leaving Thursday's game early after fouling a ball off his groin in the fourth inning. Chisholm kicked the Yankees' offense into gear by leading off the bottom of the second frame with his 11th homer of the year, and he stole his 21st bag of the season in the eighth after drawing a one-out walk. Friday's effort was encouraging, but Chisholm hasn't had a multi-hit performance since May 29, and through 15 games in June he's batting just .188 (9-for-48) -- albeit with five homers, seven steals, 11 RBI and 14 runs.

Altuve went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Guardians.

Altuve launched what proved to be the game-winning three-run homer in the sixth inning before adding an RBI double in the seventh. The 36-year-old has gone deep in three of his past five games, tallying seven RBI during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .234/.310/.405 with eight long balls, 20 RBI, 33 runs scored and one steal across 230 plate appearances.

Kiner-Falefa was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners due to left forearm inflammation, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Kiner-Falefa has recorded a base hit in each of his last six games, but he'll have to wait a bit longer for his next chance to extend his streak while he sits out with a forearm issue. Marcelo Mayer -- originally set to sit out due to an illness -- will join the lineup and start at shortstop with Kiner-Falefa on the sidelines.

Mayer (illness) will start at shortstop and bat seventh Friday against the Mariners, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Mayer was originally left out of the starting nine because of an illness, but he now appears to be feeling better and will get the nod at shortstop, replacing Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm). Mayer's struggles at the plate have continued into June, as he's slashing .172/.265/.310 across 34 plate appearances since the beginning of the month.

Mayer isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners due to an illness, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

After sitting out Thursday's finale against Toronto, Mayer will miss a second consecutive start Friday while he recovers from his illness. Andruw Monasterio will take over as Boston's second baseman and bat ninth.
