The Blue Jays reinstated Guerrero (concussion) from the injured list Saturday.

Guerrero cleared concussion protocol Thursday, and after going 1-for-1 with a pair of walks, an RBI and a run scored during a tune-up game at Single-A, he'll return to the active roster ahead of Saturday's game against the Yankees. Davis Schneider was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Pasquantino crushed a center-cut cutter from Troy Melton, blasting it 420 feet over the right-field wall for a solo homer in the sixth inning. The first baseman has been hot since returning from right wrist soreness Monday, going 9-for-19 (.474) with two homers, three doubles, four RBI and five runs across five games. Overall, Pasquantino is slashing .247/.331/.381 with eight homers, 37 RBI, 39 runs and four stolen bases in 84 contests.

Isbel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Isbel connected on a solo homer in the fifth inning before adding an RBI double in the eighth frame. Since returning from a nearly two-month stint on the injured list due to a Grade 3 tear of his left plantar fascia, the center fielder is slashing .200/.229/.356 with two homers, eight RBI and six runs across 15 contests. Overall, Isbel is hitting .234/.283/.354 with five homers, 19 RBI, 22 runs and five stolen bases in 71 games.

Bellinger (hamstring) will return from the injured list Sunday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Manager Aaron Boone suggested earlier in the week that Bellinger could return to the Yankees' lineup by the end of the weekend, and the 31-year-old outfielder confirmed Saturday that he will do so. Bellinger went 1-for-6 with a strikeout in the two rehab games he played at Triple-A but had been on fire at the plate before getting injured, slashing .372/.438/.465 across his last dozen games. He figures to immediately reclaim his role as New York's primary left fielder.

Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Stanton strained his left calf while running the bases, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Stanton has been on the injured list since late April due to a strained right calf, and he is now dealing with a left calf strain as well after falling down during his most recent baserunning session. The Yankees haven't yet ruled out a return for Stanton later this season, but Boone admitted that it will be difficult for the veteran slugger to return before the end of the year.

Story (sports hernia) played nine innings at shortstop and went 0-for-4 for Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

Story, who played the fourth game of his rehab assignment Friday, appears to be on the verge of being activated. He's scheduled to play another full game at shortstop Saturday, per MLB.com, and will then get a rest day Sunday. Story could be activated ahead of Monday's game against Miami.

Duran went 4-for-5 with a double in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Angels.

Duran's final hit in the bottom of the 10th inning produced the winning run on a throwing error. He's found his swing again following a 13-game stretch in which he batted .128 (6-for-47). Over the last two games, Duran's reached base eight times in nine plate appearances (6-for-7, two walks, one double, one triple).

Langford went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Angels.

Langford delivered the tying run in the bottom of the 10th inning with a two-out double and then scored the winning run in the Rangers' walk-off win. August has been a cruel month for Langford, who is batting .154 (10-for-65) with four RBI over his last 19 games.

Grichuk went 2-for-3 with a solo home run Friday against the Mets.

Grichuk remains a fixture in the White Sox's lineup against lefties and has been productive with the platoon edge. Across 39 plate appearances in August, he has hit .385 with two homers, eight RBI and eight runs scored. However, his last start against a righty came July 19, and his short-side role limits his fantasy appeal.

Montgomery went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Friday against the Mets.

Montgomery was the last of three consecutive White Sox hitters to go yard in the sixth inning, recording his 27th home run of the season. He's had a tough August, striking out at a 40.3 percent clip across 77 plate appearances while hitting just .217. Montgomery has still managed nine RBI and eight runs scored across 18 contests for the month, but he remains a volatile producer.
