The Rockies reinstated Freeman (oblique) from the injured list Friday.

Freeman has been sidelined for the past month by a left oblique strain, but he's been given the green light to return to Colorado after going 2-for-12 with two walks during a four-game rehab assignment. Now healthy, Freeman will likely slide in as bench depth for the Rockies.

Marte (hip) is starting at second base and batting in the leadoff spot against the Rockies on Friday.

Marte was lifted from Wednesday's win against the Giants due to stiffness in his hip, but the 31-year-old second baseman has been cleared to play in Friday's series opener. Marte is slashing .262/.377/.554 with five home runs and eight RBI over 77 plate appearances this season.

Garcia is not in the Nationals' starting lineup against the Orioles on Friday.

Garcia was activated from the Nationals' paternity list Friday, but he'll begin the game in the dugout while Nasim Nunez starts at second base and bats ninth. Garcia has gone 7-for-38 with two steals, one home run and five RBI since the beginning of May.

The Blue Jays are hopeful that Gimenez (quad) will resume running this weekend, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gimenez has been taking grounders and hitting in the batting cage this week as he ramps up his baseball activities, but running will be the bigger test as he comes back from a right quad strain. The second baseman is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list May 18, but he's going to need a bit more time than that.

Campbell was seen doing some first-base drills prior to Friday's game versus Atlanta, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

It doesn't necessarily mean the Red Sox are giving real thought to using Campbell at first base, as players will sometimes take reps at a position they're unlikely to play. However, the Red Sox have a clear opening at first base following the season-ending injury to Triston Casas (knee), and Campbell's defensive metrics at second base have been poor. Campbell has never played first base in pro ball.

The Nationals activated Garcia (personal) from the paternity list Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia missed the three-game series in Atlanta earlier this week while welcoming a new addition to the family but is ready to go for the weekend set in Baltimore. The second baseman has a .618 OPS with three homers and six stolen bases this season for the Nationals.

Chisholm (oblique) fielded grounders Friday at Yankee Stadium and was scheduled to begin hitting off a tee earlier this week, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Chisholm has been out all month with a right oblique strain but has been cleared to ease back into baseball activities. The second baseman was originally given a 4-6 week return timeline, so he's likely still not close to being activated from the IL even in a best-case scenario.

Bazzana is being evaluated for an injury to his right side at Double-A Akron, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Bazzana tweaked his side during the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday and was absent from RubberDucks' lineup Thursday. At this point, it's not clear how long the first overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft might be sidelined. Bazzana is slashing .252/.362/.433 with four home runs and eight stolen bases over 33 contests with Akron this season. He's homered twice and boasts a 1.013 OPS across his last 10 games.

Manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Edman (ankle) is close to returning from the 10-day injured list, DodgersBeat.com reports.

Roberts didn't offer up a specific return date, but it appears Edman could be activated this weekend versus the Angels or early next week against the Diamondbacks. The 30-year-old suffered an ankle injury in late April and is poised to rejoin the Dodgers without embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. Hyeseong Kim has taken advantage of Edman's absence with a 1.038 OPS in his first 12 big-league contests, but the veteran utility player shouldn't have an issue maintaining a regular spot in the lineup after posting a .252/.295/.523 slash line with eight homers, two steals, 24 RBI and 19 runs in his first 30 games this year.

The Rays optioned Montes to Triple-A Durham on Friday.

The 28-year-old was promoted Tuesday with Yandy Diaz heading to the restricted list, but Diaz was returned to the active roster Friday. Montes didn't see the field during his brief time in the majors, though he appeared in five big-league games earlier in the season and went 2-for-10 with an RBI and three strikeouts.
