Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 10-6 win over the Giants.

Perdomo logged a steal for the second game in a row. He's batting .361 (13-for-36) over his last 10 games, though just two of those hits have gone for extra bases. The shortstop is batting .254 with a .737 OPS, 19 steals, nine home runs, 46 RBI, 63 runs scored, 18 doubles and six triples over 131 contests this season. While he's been nowhere near his 20-homer, .851 OPS performance from last year, he continues to occupy a starting role thanks to his strong ability to get on base.

De La Cruz went 3-for-5 with a run and two RBI in Friday's 10-8 win over the Cubs.

The performance extended De La Cruz's hitting streak to six games, a heater in which he's gone 13-for-30 (.433) with four doubles, a homer, a steal, three RBI and seven runs. On the season, the 24-year-old is slashing .268/.345/.476 with 21 home runs and 23 stolen bases in 116 contests, his third straight 20-20 campaign.

Wilson will undergo surgery on his left shoulder Sept. 16, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Wilson landed on the injured list last Friday due to soreness related to a shoulder separation he suffered earlier in the season, and he'll opt to go under the knife to address the issue. His procedure will be similar to the one teammate Zack Gelof underwent last September, and assuming Wilson also has a similar return timeline, he figures to be fully healthy by the time the 2027 campaign begins.

Henderson is not in the Orioles' starting lineup against the Athletics on Friday, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Henderson will have a rare off day while Blaze Alexander -- who was reinstated from the injured list Friday -- will start at shortstop and bat leadoff. Henderson has a .217 batting average (18-for-83) in August with two steals, two home runs, five RBI, 15 runs scored and a 17:15 BB:K.

The Orioles optioned Vazquez to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

The Orioles selected Vazquez's contract from Norfolk on Wednesday, but he'll now depart the active roster without appearing in a game to make room for Blaze Alexander (hand), who returned from the IL on Friday. Vazquez will remain on the Orioles' taxi squad for now in case Baltimore needs to add infield depth on short notice.

Pratt is out of the lineup for Friday's matchup with Texas.

Despite recording four hits over his last three games, Pratt will sit out Friday's series opener against the Rangers. Joey Ortiz will slot in at shortstop and bat sixth for Milwaukee.

Pena (hand) is in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Mets, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.

After taking a fastball off his left hand during Thursday's series finale against the Yankees, Pena is good to go for Friday's series opener with the Mets after X-rays came back negative. Pena will lead off and man shortstop for Houston.

Story (sports hernia) remains with Triple-A Worcester on his rehab assignment Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Though he is scheduled for a day off Friday, Story will stay with Worcester rather than rejoin the Red Sox for their series this weekend against the Yankees. Boston will return home to host the Mariners on Monday, and that could be the day the Red Sox are eyeing for Story's return. Out since mid-May following sports hernia surgery, Story is 5-for-32 with a 1:10 BB:K in his first nine rehab games.

Pitre is batting .300 (9-for-30) with two doubles, one triple, one steal and a 4:4 BB:K over eight games since being promoted to Triple-A Syracuse on Aug. 18.

Part of the package the Mets received from the Rays for Freddy Peralta, Pitre's elite contact skills and plate discipline have fueled a breakout campaign that saw him produce a .335/.437/.465 slash line in 47 Double-A games between Montgomery and Binghamton prior to his promotion. The 23-year-old has primarily played second base this season, but New York has another top keystone prospect racing up the ladder in Mitch Voit. Pitre's lack of power creates questions about whether his profile can survive as an everyday player in the majors a la Luis Arraez, or whether he'll eventually have to settle for a utility role.

Witt went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 13-2 win over the Blue Jays.

The star shortstop did his part offensively in the blowout win, matching Jac Caglianone for the team lead by coming around to score three times. Witt has reached base in 11 straight games, producing a .349/.462/.605 slash line with three homers, seven RBI, 13 runs and four stolen bases during that span. In total, he's slashing .289/.366/.459 with 16 homers, 49 RBI, 75 runs and 36 stolen bases across 116 contests.
