The Rangers transferred Carter (wrist) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Dylan Moore, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Round Rock by the Rangers following the placement of Corey Seager (abdomen) on the 10-day IL. Carter is recovering from a right wrist injury that will keep him sidelined for the rest of the 2025 campaign, but he could be ready for the start of spring training.

The Rangers placed Seager (abdomen) on the 10-day injured list Friday.

Seager is expected to miss a few weeks after undergoing an appendectomy Thursday, but the veteran shortstop could return for the final games of the regular season. Dylan Moore was called up from Triple-A Round Rock to provide infield depth for the Rangers, and Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran are slated to see additional work at shortstop for as long as Seager is sidelined. If Seager doesn't return this season, he'll finish 2025 with a .271/.373/.487 slash line with three steals, 61 runs, 21 homers and 50 RBI over 445 plate appearances.

Brieske will be shut down for the rest of the 2025 season due to a right elbow injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Brieske has been on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list since July 14. The severity of his elbow injury is enough for him to miss the rest of the season, though he'll be shut down for at least four-to-six weeks and doesn't appear to be in immediate danger of missing the start of spring training, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Brieske appeared in 22 major-league games in 2025 and finished with a 6.55 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 16:12 K:BB across 22 innings.

Sandlin received an injection Monday to reduce the inflammation in his right elbow and is aiming to resume his throwing program Saturday or Sunday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Sandlin has been on the 15-day injured list since July 8 due to right elbow inflammation. He's had his throwing program shut down twice due to setbacks, but the hope is that Monday's cortisone injection will be enough for the 28-year-old right-hander to get back on track with his recovery. Sandlin posted a 2.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and three saves across 16.1 innings prior to landing on the IL.

Kim (back) isn't expected to return from the 10-day injured list until at least Monday when team rosters expand to 28 players, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Kim has played just 29 major-league games this season due to multiple injuries, most recently lower-back inflammation that landed him on the 10-day IL on Aug. 21. He's eligible to return from the IL on Sunday, but the Rays will wait to bring back the 29-year-old shortstop until at least Monday. Carson Williams has played well since making his major-league debut Aug. 22, but it's unclear what his role will be once Kim has returned.

Cameron isn't listed as a starting pitcher in any game of Kansas City's three-game set against the Tigers that begins Friday, Jackson Stone of MLB.com reports.

Cameron's normal trip through the rotation would have lined him up for a start Saturday, but Stephen Kolek will take the mound instead. Michael Wacha will close out the series Sunday. It's unclear when Cameron's next start will come, but it looks as though the Royals will limit his workload during the closing weeks of the regular season. Cameron has thrown 140.2 innings this season across Triple-A and the Majors, and his previous career high was 122.2 innings, which he set in 2024.

Tauchman is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

The left-handed-hitting Tauchman doesn't always sit out against southpaws, but he will take a seat for this one as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Brooks Baldwin is in right field for the White Sox.

Montgomery (side) is starting at shortstop and batting fourth in Friday's game versus the Yankees.

Montgomery missed each of the previous two contests with a left side issue that initially popped up last week. It's the type of injury that can be prone to setbacks, but Montgomery feels well enough now to give it a go. He'll bring a streak of four consecutive games with a home run into play Friday.

Lopez (shoulder) will make what's expected to be his final rehab start Sunday at Triple-A St. Paul, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Lopez struck out five and allowed three earned runs over four innings in his second rehab outing Tuesday with St. Paul. He threw 68 pitches in that start and will get stretched out a bit more before returning from the 60-day injured list and likely slotting into the Twins rotation during next weekend's series in Kansas City. Lopez has been shelved since early June due to a Grade 2 teres major strain.

Santander (shoulder) will travel with the Blue Jays to Cincinnati early next week and should begin a rehab assignment after that, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Santander has been running, taking batting practice and hitting off a high-velocity pitching machine and is close to being cleared for game action. The switch hitter has been on the shelf with a subluxation of his left shoulder since late May. Santander could return to the Blue Jays' active roster by mid-September if all goes well.
