Marte went 1-for-4 in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies.

Marte was activated off the 10-day injured earlier in the day and was in the lineup at second base and leading off against a left-hander. The initial plan for Marte, who is coming off a hamstring injury, is to see time in the field and at designated hitter, but at either spot he should bat first or second in the order.

Lopez was removed from Friday's game against the Athletics due to right ankle discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Lopez left the game in the second inning before making a plate appearance. It's currently unknown if he's dealing with any structural damage, but the Marlins should provide an update once they take a closer look at him.

Edman (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

Edman didn't play Wednesday after tweaking his right ankle Tuesday against the Marlins and had an additional day of rest with the Dodgers off Thursday. However, he's still not feeling well enough to play, so Miguel Rojas will handle second base in the series opener. Edman worked out pregame Friday, and he and the Dodgers are optimistic that he'll be ready to return to the lineup Saturday, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports.

Vivas is starting at second base and batting ninth Friday against the Rays, and he's expected to receive regular playing time after Jazz Chisholm (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Vivas was up with the Yankees last summer and earlier this season, but he didn't see the field during his brief stints with the big club. The 24-year-old is making his MLB debut Friday, and it appears he'll get a chance to showcase himself while Chisholm is sidelined for the next 4-to-6 weeks. Vivas has enjoyed a strong start to the campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with two homers, six steals and a .319/.426/.436 slash line in 26 contests.

Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Chisholm was diagnosed with a high-grade strain of his right oblique and is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The 27-year-old Chisholm sustained the injury Tuesday against the Orioles and landed on the 10-day injured list earlier Friday. Significant oblique injuries often have multi-month recovery timelines, so a return in four weeks seems optimistic for a high-grade strain. Jorbit Vivas is making his MLB debut at second base Friday versus the Rays and is expected to get regular playing time while Chisholm is out, at least initially.

Lowe is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

With left-hander Max Fried on the mound for the Yankees, Lowe will take a seat. Curtis Mead is getting the start at second base and batting eighth. Lowe is hitting .209/.248/.318 with four home runs, 15 RBI, nine runs scored and a 6:31 BB:K across 117 plate appearances to begin the season.

Campbell (ribs) remains out of the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Twins.

Campbell was scratched from Thursday's lineup with sore ribs and will miss a second straight start. It's unclear whether he will be available off the bench. David Hamilton will play second base in Campbell's stead.

The Diamondbacks activated Marte (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Marte will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back onto the active roster after missing nearly a month of action with a strained left hamstring. The 31-year-old had slashed .346/.469/.462 in his first eight contests before getting hurt.

Hamilton started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Hamilton filled in for Kristian Campbell, who was scratched from the lineup after feeling rib soreness while stretching prior to the game. Hamilton's potential value has been limited due to lack of playing time behind Campbell. Thursday's steal was his third in 14 games, and the activity was his first appearance in a week. He'll be the primary fill-in at the keystone while Campbell is unavailable.

The Yankees recalled Vivas from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Vivas was up with the big club briefly last month but didn't appear in a game. He's an option at second base while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is out, although Pablo Reyes and Oswald Peraza are likely higher in the pecking order.
