Barger went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Royals.

Barger made Friday's score a little bit more respectable after he smacked a two-run homer to right field off Thomas Hatch in the ninth inning. It was Barger's 16th home run of the season, which is tied with Vladimir Guerrero for second most on the Blue Jays behind George Springer's (concussion) 18. In the 15 games since the All-Star break, Barger has gone 16-for-58 (.276) with four doubles, three home runs and 12 RBI.

Lee went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's 3-2 loss against the Guardians.

Lee had been serving in a utility infield role in recent weeks, but he's poised to serve as the Twins' everyday shortstop moving forward after Carlos Correa was traded to Houston on Thursday. While seeing sporadic playing time for much of July, Lee slashed just .164/.219/.269 with two home runs, 11 RBI, four runs and one stolen base on the month.

Jung (calf) is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

With Jung working through calf soreness, Josh Smith will shift to third base while Rowdy Tellez starts at first. Jung is on a nine-game hitting streak since the All-Star break, going 11-for-30 (.367) with six runs, two homers and five RBI over that span.

The Twins recalled Fitzgerald from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Fitzgerald made his MLB debut with Minnesota earlier this season, receiving three plate appearances across two games. He scored one run but is still looking for his first major-league hit. Fitzgerald gives the Twins some infield depth following the trades of Carlos Correa, Willi Castro and Ty France.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Rangers.

Suarez made his presence felt in his first appearance since landing back with the Mariners, doubling and then scoring the game's first run in the fourth inning. Suarez might miss working from hitter-friendly Chase Field -- the All-Star third baseman posted a 1.011 OPS in 54 home games with Arizona -- but he should have plenty of RBI chances going forward despite shifting to pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park with Seattle.

The Red Sox are still collecting information about the nature of Mayer's wrist injury, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Mayer was placed on the injured list Friday due to a wrist sprain after undergoing an MRI. The results of that imaging are apparently unclear, leaving Mayer with a murky timeline to return despite being first eligible for activation August 4.

Jung is out of Thursday's lineup against the Mariners due to calf soreness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

It sounds as if the Rangers are taking a cautious approach with Jung, and he may be out for a longer portion of the team's weekend series against the Mariners. He is not expected to require a stint on the injured list for the time being, however. Rowdy Tellez entered the lineup at first base in Jung's absence, while Josh Smith shifted to third base.

The Yankees traded Peraza to the Angels on Thursday, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

In exchange for Peraza, the Yankees received Wilberson De Pena and international bonus money from the Angels, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Peraza lost playing time with the Yankees after New York acquired Ryan McMahon but should find some playing time with a struggling Angels team.

Williamson was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Williamson had been the Mariners third baseman prior to the Eugenio Suarez acquisition, and it makes more sense for Williamson to be playing every day at Triple-A than playing sparingly in the majors. Known more for his glove than his bat, Williamson is slashing .253/.294/.310 with one home run and five steals in 85 games as a rookie.

Mastrobuoni was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

The Mariners acquired Eugenio Suarez to handle third base, and Mastrobuoni fits better as a bench infielder role than Ben Williamson, who will head back to Triple-A to get regular at-bats. Mastrobuoni is hitting .252 with one home run and five steals in 71 games in the majors.
