The Red Sox recalled Grissom from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

Grissom will take the spot on the 28-man roster vacated by Rob Refsnyder, who was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right forearm strain. Since being optioned to Worcester on Aug. 8 after being reinstated from the IL, Grissom has slashed .269/.407/.417 with five home runs and 24 RBI across 137 minor-league plate appearances. In the majors, he's slashing .148/.207/.160 with three RBI over 87 plate appearances.

Lux is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

The lefty-hitting Lux will begin Friday's contest on the bench with southpaw Kyle Freeland taking the mound for the Rockies. Enrique Hernandez will start at second base and bat ninth.

Keith (shoulder) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Friday against the Orioles.

The 23-year-old sat out Wednesday against the Royals after he suffered a shoulder injury during Tuesday's contest, but he's back in the lineup following Thursday's team off day. Keith is hitting .315 through 14 games in September, though he hasn't supplied a ton of pop with just two extra-base hits.

Drury is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Houston, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Drury started the last two games after returning from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, but he'll be given some rest Friday. Jack Lopez is occupying second base for the Angels.

Stott is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

The left-handed-hitting Stott will receive a breather as the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the bump. Edmundo Sosa will play second base and bat seventh as the Phillies try to even up the series.

The Diamondbacks designated Guillorme for assignment Friday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

The transaction was made in order to free up a spot on the active roster for the return of Lourdes Gurriel from the injured list. Guillorme played a decent amount while Ketel Marte was injured, but his role has been limited since Marte returned to action.

Atlanta optioned Biggio to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

The 29-year-old was added to Atlanta's big-league roster Sept. 11 shortly after being acquired from San Francisco, but he'll now head to Triple-A as Ozzie Albies (wrist) returns from the injured list. Biggio appeared in just four games during his brief time in the majors, and he has a .197/.314/.303 slash line in 78 games between the Dodgers, the Blue Jays and Atlanta this season.

Garcia (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Cubs, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

It's the third straight start Garcia has missed due to soreness in his right wrist. He is considered day-to-day. Darren Baker will make a second straight start at the keystone while Garcia rests.

Atlanta activated Albies (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Albies is finally ready to rejoin Atlanta's lineup after missing most of the second half with a fractured left wrist. The switch hitter will bat only from the right side of the plate for the time being, as he still feels some discomfort when hitting left-handed. Albies has always been a stronger hitter from the right side of the dish, boasting a career .932 OPS versus southpaws.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Brewers.

Marte has scuffled (.184/.295/.368) over 11 games since coming off the injured list earlier this month, but he has knocked in seven runs during that span. He's up to 88 RBI for the season, four shy of the career best he posted in 2019.
