Langford isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins due to left side tightness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The severity of Langford's injury is still unclear, but manager Bruce Bochy said the team will take a look at him Friday and determine next steps from there. Langford's absence will allow Michael Helman to start in center field and bat ninth against Miami.

Abreu (calf) will fly to Tampa Bay on Saturday, and a decision regarding his activation from the 10-day injured list is expected to be made shortly after, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Abreu had a good workout at Fenway on Friday, and he'll join the team in Florida ahead of Saturday's game. It's unclear if he'll be activated Saturday or Sunday specifically, but a return during Boston's series in Tampa Bay is expected. The outfielder has been on the shelf since Aug. 21 due to a strained right calf.

Moncada (ankle) is batting third and playing third base Friday against Colorado, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Moncada is in the starting lineup for the first time since picking up a left ankle injury Sunday. The third baseman has slashed .239/.342/.462 with 12 home runs this season. He's hitless with four strikeouts in his last seven at-bats, however.

The Angels reinstated Schanuel (wrist) from the 10-day injured list, and he'll bat leadoff and play first base Friday against Colorado, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Schanuel will return from a three-plus-week absence due to a bruised left wrist. The 23-year-old appeared in a pair of minor-league games during a rehab stint, going 4-for-8 with a double and three runs scored. Schanuel's return means fewer opportunities for Oswald Peraza and Logan Davidson.

The Rangers designated Edwards for assignment Friday.

Edwards will surrender his spot on the 40-man roster to make room for Tyler Mahle (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day IL on Friday. Edwards, 34, has given up three earned runs in six MLB innings this season and carries a 5.31 ERA through 39 frames at Triple-A Round Rock.

The Rangers reinstated Mahle (shoulder) from the injured list ahead of his start against Miami on Friday.

A shoulder strain has kept Mahle off a big-league mound since mid-June, though he's made three rehab appearances in the minors this month, coughing up five earned runs with a 10:2 K:BB across 7.1 innings. He threw just 52 pitches during his most recent appearance, so the Rangers may aim to limit his workload Friday against a Marlins offense that's posted a .712 OPS since Sept. 1. Carl Edwards was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Boston.

Lowe is out of the lineup for the second time in three games, a stretch that followed four consecutive starts at second base. In his last six games, Lowe is 6-for-26 (.231) with a homer and nine strikeouts.

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

Simpson will get a breather after making four consecutive starts -- two in center field, two in left. Christopher Morel will patrol left field Friday while Everson Pereira mans center.

The Tigers optioned Horn to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Horn has given up just one run in 5.1 innings since joining the big-league squad Sept. 2, lowering his ERA in the majors to 1.59 through 11.1 frames. Despite his strong performance, he'll be pushed back to the minor leagues by Kyle Finnegan (groin), who returned from the injured list Friday.

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

Mangum will take a seat for the second time in three games. Christopher Morel, Everson Pereira and Josh Lowe will fill the outfield from left to right.
