Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Out of lineup Friday
Reyes (undisclosed) is not in the starting lineup Friday against the White Sox, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Reyes was removed from Thursday's series finale with Minnesota early and he will now miss at least one contest while nursing whatever injury he sustained. It's possible that the 29-year-old reaggravated the abdominal issue that forced him to miss Tuesday and Wednesday's games. David Hamilton will draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth in the series opener with Chicago.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Trending in right direction
Crawford (shoulder) was able to partake in some pregame drills Thursday, and manager Scott Servais says he's optimistic the veteran will return to the lineup at some point during this weekend's series against the Orioles, the Associated Press reports.
Servais confirmed the shortstop was feeling better despite missing his second straight game Thursday following a collision with the Yankees' Harrison Bader on Tuesday. Crawford appears to have a fighting chance of jumping back into action as early as Friday.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Logs first MLB hit
Hamilton went 1-for-3 in Thursday's 6-0 loss to Minnesota.
Hamilton made his first MLB start and logged his first career hit in the eighth inning. Pablo Reyes, who had been dealing with abdominal soreness, started at second base but was removed in the fourth inning, suggesting he's still not 100 percent. If Reyes needs time on the injured list, the speedy Hamilton could remain with the Red Sox and get additional starts at shortstop.

Wander Franco SS | TB
Rays' Wander Franco: Benched through at least Friday
Rays manager Kevin Cash said Franco will remain out of the lineup through at least Friday's game versus the Royals due to the way the infielder has handled frustrating situations this season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Per Topkin's report, Cash said Franco "is a good kid," and the team hopes to work with him to improve with him in becoming a better teammate and in how he deals with the challenges that come with being a big leaguer. Franco is hitting .250 with one home run and four steals in 17 games this month, and he has uncharacteristically struck out at a 40 percent clip over the last three games. Taylor Walls is starting at shortstop in Thursday's series opener.
