The Tigers recalled Lee from Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

With Jack Flaherty (ankle) landing on the injured list Saturday, Lee will return to Detroit to provide the big club with an extra bat and start at third base against lefty Joey Cantillo and the Guardians. Lee owns just a .578 OPS across 87 plate appearances with the Tigers but has gone 9-for-30 in Triple-A since his demotion.

Foscue entered Friday's game in the fifth inning after Evan Carter (oblique) was removed and went 0-for-2 in a 10-1 loss to Boston.

Foscue finished the game at second base while Nicky Lopez moved to the outfield. This was the first game action over the last four contests for Foscue, who has been limited to starting against left-handers only. With Josh Smith (glute/wrist/illness) six games and 26 plate appearances into a rehab assignment, Foscue's window in the majors may be closing soon. He's slashing .246/.306/.446 with three home runs, four doubles, nine RBI and eight runs scored over 72 plate appearances (26 games).

Meidroth went 3-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Dodgers.

Meidroth helped break the game open with a two-RBI single in the fifth inning, contributing to a seven-run rally for the White Sox in the frame. He extended his hitting streak to 12 games, with his perfect effort Friday marking his third multi-hit performance in that span. Meidroth has hit particularly well since mid-May, maintaining a .321 average with two homers, 13 RBI and 12 runs scored across 21 contests.

Madrigal went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

Madrigal logged his third multi-hit effort in 12 games since joining the big-league roster. The infielder is batting .364 in the majors this season, though only one of his 12 hits, a double, has gone for extra bases. His steal Friday was his first of the year on his second attempt. Madrigal is filling a versatile role between second base and third base, putting some pressure on the likes of Oswald Peraza, Donovan Walton and Denzer Guzman in what remains an unsettled infield for the Angels.

Frazier (elbow) took part in light baseball activities Friday, per MLB.com.

Frazier was placed on the injured list Monday due to right elbow inflammation, but the issue isn't considered major. The veteran infielder could return to action within the next few weeks, though it's unclear what his role will be when he's ready for game action. Frazier had seen his playing time dwindling prior to getting hurt, and the Angels have since called up multiple infielders, but Vaughn Grissom (oblique) is on the IL and may be out longer than Frazier.

Grissom (oblique) has been taking light swings and participating in light baseball activities, per MLB.com.

Grissom hasn't played since June 5, and he landed on the IL with a left oblique strain June 8. Given the nature of his injury, it's a promising sign that he's now able to swing a bat, albeit not at full capacity. It's not yet clear how long Grissom will be sidelined, though it seems likely that he'll need more than a minimum stay on the injured list.

Sogard (oblique) told reporters Friday that he plans to start swinging a bat Monday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Sogard landed on the 10-day injured list in early June due to a right oblique strain. He's progressed enough to take the next step in his rehab program, and the Red Sox should have a better sense of Sogard's recovery timeline once he moves onto swinging out of a cage. He had gone 9-for-35 (.257) with two RBI and three runs scored prior to landing on the IL.

Mayer (back/neck) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Rangers.

Mayer was held out of Wednesday's lineup versus the Rays due to back and neck stiffness, but he's feeling better after a team off day Thursday. The 23-year-old is sitting on a .600 OPS with three home runs and three stolen bases this season.

Young went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Orioles.

Young led off the game with a homer, taking Kyle Bradish deep on the third pitch of the contest. Over the last 14 games, Young has hit safely in 13 of them, going 18-for-57 (.316) in that span. He's hit leadoff against the last five right-handers the Mariners have faced, corresponding with J.P. Crawford's (hand) exit from the lineup. Young is now batting .255 with a .684 OPS, five homers, 32 RBI, 29 runs scored, 10 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 70 contests this season, and he's trending up.

McKinstry went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 11-0 win over the Twins.

McKinstry's home run came against Minnesota catcher Alex Jackson in mop-up duty, but he'll take it all the same. The utility infielder has gone deep only twice this season in 45 games, and he's batting just .192 with a .564 OPS. It's a fall off from 2025, when McKinstry went deep 12 times in 144 regular-season contests and posted a .259 batting average along with a career-best .771 OPS.
