Twins' Matt Wallner: On bench Friday
Wallner (back) isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

Colt Keith DH | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Out of lineup Friday
Keith (back) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.
Keith had to be lifted from Thursday's contest versus the Guardians with a back injury and was sent for an MRI, so it's no surprise he's not ready to play in Friday's series opener. There's no word yet on the results of the imaging, but the Tigers should have an update on the 24-year-old soon. Zach McKinstry will play third base and bat eighth in Keith's stead.

Jackson Holliday 2B | BAL
Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Back in lineup
Holliday (undisclosed) is playing second base and batting leadoff Friday against the Yankees.
Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Holliday was out of the lineup Thursday because he was nicked up. However, the infielder is back in the starting nine for Friday's contest, holding down the leadoff spot. In his last 18 games, Holliday is 22-for-68 (.324) with two home runs, five stolen bases and a 15:16 BB:K.

Martin Perez SP | CHW
White Sox's Martin Perez: Season ends with shoulder strain
The White Sox placed Perez on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left shoulder strain.
Perez was forced to depart his last start against the Orioles in the fourth inning with the injury, and it will officially end his season. The veteran left-hander was limited to only 56 frames this season due to elbow and shoulder issues, but he fared pretty well when on the bump, posting a 3.54 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 44:22 K:BB. Perez will be a free agent this offseason.
