Arias (hamstring) is one option to fill in at third base after Jose Ramirez suffered a fractured left hamate bone Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Arias is currently on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus, where he's being prepared for a utility role, including one game at third base. Daniel Schneemann and David Fry are also possibilities on the current roster. Arias can be activated off the 60-day IL at any point.

Williams went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Rockies.

Williams remained on the roster even after Max Muncy and Jacob Wilson returned from the injured list over the last week. While Williams is likely to be ticketed for a bench role, he's doing his best to make a competition of things, going 8-for-19 (.421) over his last six contests. On the year, he's batting .278 with a .788 OPS, one home run, four doubles, five RBI, five runs scored and no stolen bases over 39 plate appearances.

Neto went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 8-0 win over the Rays.

Neto has hit safely in seven of his last eight games, but he's gone just 7-for-34 (.206) in that span. The shortstop is now batting .228 with a .766 OPS, 14 home runs, 11 steals, 32 RBI, 48 runs scored, 14 doubles and a triple over 68 contests. Neto's low average is likely related to his career-worst 31.4 percent strikeout rate, but he continues to be a strong contributor in counting stats.

Seager (ribs/jaw) isn't in the starting lineup versus Boston on Saturday.

Seager was involved in a collision at home plate Thursday against Kansas City and will sit out a second straight game due to resulting injuries to his ribs and jaw. However, he's reportedly feeling better, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, and is considered day-to-day. Nicky Lopez is starting at shortstop Saturday in Seager's stead.

Henderson went 3-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

The 24-year-old took Griffin Canning deep in the fourth inning, giving Henderson his 14th homer of the season and the 100th of his career. He's the fourth-youngest player in Orioles history to reach that milestone, behind Boog Powell, Hall of Famer Eddie Murray and Friday's opponent Manny Machado. Henderson has banged out three or more hits in five of his last 25 contests, slashing .277/.360/.475 over that stretch with five doubles, five homers, one steal, 11 RBI and 15 runs.

Walls went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.

Walls has turned up the speed lately, logging four steals over his last five games. He's gone 3-for-11 with two walks and a hit-by-pitch in that span, so he's making the most of his chances on the basepaths. For the season, the shortstop has logged 10 steals on 12 attempts. He's batting. 215 with a .600 OPS, zero home runs, 15 RBI, 23 runs scored, six doubles and two triples over 178 plate appearances.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Friday that Seager is considered "day-to-day" due to rib and jaw injuries that he sustained during Thursday's game against the Royals, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Seager was shaken up after colliding with Carter Jensen at home plate during Thursday's game. Seager will take a seat for at least one game while Ezequiel Duran starts at shortstop and bats fifth for Friday's series opener.

The Athletics reinstated Wilson (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Wilson has been given the green light to return to the Athletics after fully recovering from a dislocated left shoulder that he suffered in early May. Now that he's back in the picture, Alika Williams is set to see less playing time in the infield. The move corresponds with Brent Rooker (knee) being placed on the 10-day injured list.

The Tigers designated Short for assignment Friday.

The Tigers needed to make room on the 40-man roster after claiming James Outman off waivers. Short had been losing out on playing time, and with Zach McKinstry playing more infield following the addition of Outman, there was simply no role left for Short, per Jason Beck of MLB.com. Short is slashing .167/.304/.222 with two RBI over 46 plate appearances this season.

Seager is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Seager is batting .238 (5-for-21) with two homers and for RBI in five games since returning from the injured list last week, and he'll receive a day off Friday after starting the previous three contests. Ezequiel Duran will pick up a start shortstop for the series opener in Boston.
