Hill (oblique) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Double-A Akron on Friday.

Hill hasn't played since June 24 due to a strained oblique. The 22-year-old has slashed .257/.390/.524 with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 43 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a 40:49 BB:K across 237 plate appearances between High-A Lake County and Akron this season.

Adell is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

Adell has started eight of nine games since being acquired by Cleveland but will get a breather against Padres right-hander Michael King. With the Guardians, Adell is slashing just .152/.293/.394 with two home runs, four RBI, five runs scored and a 5:10 BB:K across 41 plate appearances. Angel Martinez and Chase DeLauter are manning the corner outfield spots for Cleveland on Friday.

Ramirez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

Angel Genao is starting at third base and batting sixth, while Steven Kwan is leading off as the Guardians' designated hitter. In 17 games since returning from the injured list, Ramirez is slashing .197/.333/.197 with zero extra-base hits, four RBI, 11 runs scored, five stolen bases and a 12:3 BB:K across 75 plate appearances.

Rafaela is getting his first night off since June 20. Over the last 15 days, Rafaela is slashing .344/.364/.623 with five home runs, 13 RBI, 13 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 1:11 BB:K. Eli White is batting ninth and starting in center field Friday.

The White Sox designated Rock for assignment Friday.

With Chicago claiming Jake Rogers off waivers Friday, Rock loses his spot on the 40-man roster. Rock has appeared in four games out of the bullpen for the White Sox this season, posting a 3.48 ERA, 2.13 WHIP and 12:11 K:BB across 10.1 innings. He's currently with Triple-A Charlotte.

Basallo (shoulder) is taking live batting practice Friday at Tropicana Field ahead of the Orioles' game against the Rays, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Basallo has been sidelined since July 19 due to right shoulder inflammation, but he's now swinging a bat and is expected to head out on a rehab assignment in the very near future. Basallo just turned 22 years old Thursday and owns a .756 OPS with 16 home runs, 46 RBI, 34 runs scored and a 26:82 BB:K across 311 trips to the plate this season. Carlos Narvaez and Yohel Pozo have been handling catching duties while Basallo is out.

The White Sox claimed Rogers off waivers from the Red Sox on Friday.

Boston designated Rogers for assignment earlier in the week after activating catcher Adley Rutschman from the injured list. Rogers quickly found a new home in Chicago, which will be the fourth stop for the veteran backstop in less than three weeks after he was DFA'd by Detroit at the end of July, then traded to the Orioles before being shipped to the Red Sox on Aug. 3. Rogers will share time behind the plate with Drew Romo while Chicago waits for Kyle Teel (ankle) and Joey Bart (hand) to return from the injured list.

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

The 30-year-old right-hander has posted a 5.87 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB across 7.2 innings out of the Baltimore bullpen this season. He owns a 1.08 ERA and eight strikeouts over 8.1 innings at Triple-A in 2026.

The Orioles activated Bassitt (back) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Bassitt will start Friday's game against the Rays after missing two-plus months following surgery to remove bone spurs from his back. The right-hander made three rehab starts with Triple-A Norfolk and posted a 1.98 ERA with a 12:4 K:BB across 13.2 innings. In 12 games (10 starts) with the Orioles this season, Bassitt owns a 5.27 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 37:22 K:BB across 56.1 frames.
