Horwitz went 3-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 win over the Athletics.

Horwitz doubled in the fourth inning, singled in the sixth and went yard in the eighth. While the long ball was his first since July 11, the 26-year-old has three multi-hit efforts in seven August contests. On the year, he is hitting .282 with five homers, 20 RBI and 24 runs scored across 206 plate appearances.

Marte is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Marte will begin Friday's contest in the dugout after going 0-for-4 with one walk, one run scored and three strikeouts in Thursday's 6-4 loss to Philadelphia. Kevin Newman will start at second base and bat ninth against Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler.

Holliday will start at second base and bat sixth in Friday's game at Tampa Bay, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

It's the highest he's batted in his brief major-league career. Holliday has earned a move up in the Orioles' batting order by going 9-for-28 with one double, four home runs and 11 RBI in eight games since being recalled in late July.

Brujan is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

Brujan will be on the bench against the Padres, who'll start southpaw Martin Perez. Brujan has now been absent from the starting lineup in four consecutive games against left-handed pitching despite having a better OPS (.636) against lefties than righties (.616) this season.

Keaschall will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Keaschall has battled elbow problems for much of the season, although it hasn't affected his production as the 21-year-old is slashing .303/.420/.483 with 15 homers and 23 stolen bases between High-A Cedar Rapids and Double-A Wichita. Because he's a position player, having the surgery now will give Keaschall a shot to be recovered in time for spring training. Assuming he's healthy, Keaschall could debut for the Twins in 2025.

The Twins activated Farmer (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Declan Goff of SKOR North reports.

He's been sidelined for nearly a month with a right shoulder strain but is ready to go after playing three rehab games with Triple-A St. Paul. Farmer is starting at second base and batting ninth in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a stolen base Thursday against the Giants.

Garcia's two-out, game-tying three-run blast in the ninth inning was belted off San Francisco closer Camilo Doval and was Garcia's 14th of the season. Garcia added a single earlier in the game, representing his 26th multi-hit effort of the campaign while also collecting his 19th steal. It's been a breakout season for the 24-year-old second baseman, who over 365 at-bats has put together a .290 average with 14 homers, 56 RBI, 43 runs and 19 steals.

Stott isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Southpaw Jordan Montgomery will start on the bump for Arizona on Thursday, so the lefty-hitting Stott will step out of the starting nine. Edmundo Sosa will cover second base instead and bat seventh.

The Red Sox reinstated Grissom (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Worcester, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Grissom has taken a massive step back at the plate in the big leagues this year, slashing just .148/.207/.160 with three RBI in 87 plate appearances. He's begun to rediscover his swing while on a rehab assignment with Worcester, tallying a hit in nine of his last 10 games, but the Red Sox will keep him stashed away in the minors now that he's fully recovered from his right hamstring strain.

Triolo is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

Triolo had started in each of the last three games and in eight of the past nine contests, but with Oneil Cruz (illness) making his return to the lineup following a two-game absence, Triolo looks poised to see his playing time take a hit now that the Pittsburgh infield is back to full strength minus Nick Gonzales (groin). Trade-deadline pickup Isiah Kiner-Falefa has inherited Gonzales' everyday role at second base.
