Reynolds (hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Reynolds has been sidelined the past couple weeks by a hip injury and has been cleared to rejoin the active roster after a three-game rehab stint with Triple-A Louisville. The 31-year-old should return to a utility role now that he's healthy.

Jung's contract was selected from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Jung's activation was expected for several days, and he'll officially start at third base and bat seventh during his major-league debut Friday against the Blue Jays. The 24-year-old has less competition for playing time at the hot corner after Ezequiel Duran was sent down Thursday, and the Rangers' top prospect should have plenty of chances to secure regular at-bats in the majors over the final month of the season.

Maton went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss against the Marlins.

The 25-year-old got the Phillies on the board with a two-out homer in the third inning off Sandy Alcantara. Maton has not seen much action lately, appearing in six of Philadelphia's last eight games but recorded just eight at-bats during that stretch. He has taken advantage of those recent chances however, tallying four hits including a double and a homer for a .750 slugging percentage.

Moncada went 5-for-6 with two homers, a double, three runs scored and five RBI in a 14-2 win Thursday in Oakland.

Moncada homered off JP Sears in his first two plate appearances, singled and scored in the fourth, doubled in a run in the fifth and tacked on a single in the sixth. He had recorded only five hits in his previous eight games but reached that mark in his first five trips to the plate Thursday. It was his second five-hit performance of the season and his first two-homer game since 2019. The 27-year-old came into the game with a .582 OPS and exited with a .624 mark following the excellent evening.

Peterson went 1-for-3 with one run scored and one steal in Thursday's win over the Giants.

Peterson has hit well in his last seven games, recording a .333 average over 18 at-bats. The third baseman is turning in career highs in batting average (.260), slugging percentage (.430), and OPS (.758) during 2022. Interestingly, the 32-year-old is outstanding on the road with an. 899 OPS in 156 plate appearances compared to a .569 OPS in 117 plate appearances at home.

Farmer went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Cubs.

Farmer took an 0-1 sinker from Adrian Sampson over the left field fence for his 10th home run of the season to get the Reds on the board. The 32-year-old has scored in each of his last four games and has four RBI in that span. He is now eight runs shy of his career high of 60 and has tied his career high of 63 RBI.

Peterson isn't in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Giants.

Peterson sat against a left-handed pitcher during Thursday's matinee and will remain on the bench for the nightcap since southpaw Alex Young is beginning the game on the mound for San Francisco. Mike Brosseau will remain at third base and lead off.

Mead has been shut down for the remainder of the season due to a forearm/elbow injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Mead missed nearly a month between July and August due to a right elbow strain. While he apparently isn't dealing with any further damage, he received an injection to help his recovery process and won't rush back to the field prior to the end of the minor-league season. The 21-year-old appeared in 76 games between the Double-A and Triple-A clubs this year and slashed .298/.390/.532 with 13 home runs, 50 RBI, 43 runs and seven stolen bases.

Manager Aaron Boone said LeMahieu (toe) will be placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

The veteran infielder has been nursing a toe injury for a while and missed both games of Wednesday's doubleheader. The Yankees are now running thin on available infielders, and Miguel Andujar was promoted in a corresponding move.

Longoria isn't in the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Brewers, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria started the last three games and went just 1-for-13 with four strikeouts. David Villar will start at the hot corner and bat seventh during Thursday's matinee.
