Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Cardinals.

Lowe led off the scoring for the Rays in the first inning with his 25th homer of the campaign. Six of those home runs have come in his last 15 starts, raising his slugging percentage to .489 for the season -- his highest mark since the 2021 campaign.

Gray went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Friday against the Cardinals.

Gray has spent the majority of the past month in the majors but has primarily been a bench bat. However, with a significant number of injuries across the Rays' depth chart, he's been called upon to start three consecutive games between shortstop and second base. Gray popped his first home run of the season and second of his career in the second inning.

Semien (foot) underwent an MRI on Friday that came back inconclusive, MLB.com reports.

Semien fouled a ball off his foot during the series finale against the Royals on Thursday and was held out of Friday's lineup. He remained in a walking boot and could miss the entire weekend set against the Guardians. Ezequiel Duran started at second base in Semien's place.

Bliss (biceps) could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week, Zac Hereth of SeattleSports.com reports.

The Mariners plan for Bliss to get 40-to-50 at-bats in the minors before activating him from the 60-day injured list. The 25-year-old second baseman appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery from a left biceps tear that's kept him on the shelf since early April, and a return at some point in mid-September isn't out of the question. Once he's cleared to rejoin Seattle, the righty-hitting Bliss figures to work on the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Cole Young at the keystone.

Rojas is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Padres on Friday.

Despite going 6-for-12 with four RBI in his last four starts, Rojas will be on the bench for the start of Friday's game while Alex Freeland and Buddy Kennedy start at second and third base, respectively. Rojas has seen an uptick in playing time due to Tommy Edman (ankle), Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) and Max Muncy (oblique) all residing on the 10-day injured list.

Urias is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

Urias will be on the bench for a second straight game while Darell Hernaiz starts at second base and bats seventh. Urias hasn't been that productive at the plate since the All-Star break, posting a .546 OPS with five runs, one homer and six RBI across 66 plate appearances.

The A's optioned Schuemann to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Schuemann made the Opening Day roster, and he's bounced around the infield as needed while making the occasional start in the outfield. However, with Jacob Wilson (forearm) back from the injured list, the Athletics are no longer in need of Schuemann's services. The 28-year-old has slashed .200/.303/.288 with a 20:33 BB:K in 188 plate appearances this season.

Semien (foot) is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Friday.

Semien fouled a ball off his left foot during Thursday's game against the Royals and was diagnosed with a foot contusion. Per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, Semien is in jeopardy of missing the entire weekend series, so his absence from Friday's lineup isn't surprising. Ezequiel Duran will draw the start at the keystone and bat eighth.

X-rays on McNeil's right shoulder came back negative, and he is available off the bench for Friday's game against Atlanta, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

McNeil is out of the Mets' lineup for a second straight game due to a right shoulder issue, but the good news for the veteran is that imaging didn't reveal any structural damage. He'll be available off the bench as a pinch hitter and could return to the lineup at some point during this weekend's three-game road series.

Semien (foot) could miss the entire weekend series against the Guardians and a trip to the 10-day injured list is possible, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Semien had to be lifted from Thursday's game versus the Royals due to a left foot contusion after fouling a ball off the area. He has not been diagnosed with any fractures, but evidently the discomfort could keep him out a handful of days or longer. Ezequiel Duran, Cody Freeman and Josh Smith and Michael Helman are options to play second base for the Rangers while Semien is out.
