Ohl is listed as the Twins' starting pitcher for Friday's game against the Tigers at Target Field.

Ohl made his most recent appearance out of the bullpen, tossing 2.2 scoreless frames in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Royals. The rookie right-hander has previously made two starts for Minnesota and made another five starts in the minors earlier this season, but he has yet to cover more than four innings in any outing. As such, Ohl will likely be deployed as more of an opener than a traditional starter Friday, with Jose Urena available to work in bulk relief behind him.

Arias went 0-for-1 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 9-4 win over Miami.

Arias contributed in various ways to Cleveland's win. He delivered one run on a groundout and drove in the game-winning tally on a sacrifice fly. The shortstop was later hit by a pitch, stole second base and scored the team's final run. Arias has maintained a tenuous grip on the starting shortstop job since returning from an ankle injury in late July, going 15-for-59 (.254) with three home runs, 14 RBI, two steals and six runs scored over 17 contests.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with an RBI, three runs scored and two steals in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Marlins.

Ramirez has been on a run-scoring binge, crossing home plate 15 times over the last 14 contests. He's tied for 10th in MLB and leads the Guardians with 79 runs scored this season, giving him a shot to score 100 runs for a second straight season.

Bradish (elbow) made a rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, allowing two hits and two walks in five scoreless innings. He struck out nine.

The rehab start was Bradish's third with Norfolk and his fifth overall in the minor leagues amid his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and he was able to build up to 74 pitches on top of dominating the opposition Thursday. As it stands, the Orioles plan to have the right-hander make one final rehab appearance before clearing him to rejoin their rotation and make his season debut, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. Once Bradish is ready to come off the injured list, it would make sense for Baltimore to option the struggling Brandon Young back to the minors.

Soler (back) has yet to resume baseball activities, per MLB.com.

Soler has now been out of action for over three weeks, as he last played July 23 against the Mets. The veteran outfielder has had an issue with his back on multiple occasions this year, so the Angels may be opting to give him all the time he needs to recover given their current place in the standings (they sit five games out of a wild-card spot with three teams ahead of them in the race for the final bid). Since Soler has been out of action, Jo Adell has been getting most of the starts in right field while Bryce Teodosio has become a near-everyday presence in the lineup in center.

Clarke (hip) is expected to start a rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Las Vegas, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Clarke was sidelined July 22 with a Grade 2 right adductor strain but has progressed enough to begin a rehab assignment as he works toward a return to the majors. His overall numbers this season -- a .646 OPS across 47 games -- have been underwhelming, yet the rookie entered the injury break swinging the bat well. In 14 games during July, he posted a .298/.340/.574 slash line with a .914 OPS, six doubles, two triples, one homer, two steals and two RBI. While the 25-year-old is still working to establish himself offensively at the major-league level, Clarke's return is highly anticipated for the difference his elite defense makes in center field.

Keaschall went 1-for-5 with one RBI and one stolen base in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

Keaschall had four multi-hit efforts in five games after returning from a fractured forearm Aug. 5, but he's since slowed down. He has gone just 2-for-17 over his last four contests, and his steal Thursday was his first since before the injury. Overall, the top prospect has been fairly steady over a small sample, batting .328 with two home runs, six steals, 14 RBI, seven runs scored and six doubles across 16 games this season. He should continue to play on a near-everyday basis, primarily at second base.

Julien went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

Julien has gone just 5-for-25 (.200) with a 2:8 BB:K over 10 games since rejoining the big-league roster following the trade deadline. This was his first multi-hit effort in that span, which has seen him fill a part-time role. He's seeing most of his time at first base but is sharing the position with Kody Clemens and Mickey Gasper. Julien will need to show more consistency to claim a larger share of playing time. On the year, he has a poor .198/.282/.328 slash line with three homers, nine RBI, nine runs scored and no stolen bases over 131 plate appearances.

Greene went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Thursday's 4-3, 11-inning win over the Twins.

Greene provided a jolt in the top of the fourth inning, taking Bailey Ober deep to cut into a 3-0 Minnesota lead. The outfielder is starting to trend upward after a slow start following the All-Star break. Greene has reached base in seven of his last 10 games, and he's recorded two home runs and five RBI during that span. On the season, the 24-year-old now has 28 long balls and 89 RBI, both of which lead the team and are among the top 10 in the majors.

Ober allowed three runs on four hits and struck out four without walking a batter over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Tigers on Thursday.

Ober allowed a two-run home run to Riley Greene in the fourth inning and an RBI single to Colt Keith in the sixth. While Ober was stingy with baserunners, the Tigers were able to take advantage of his few mistakes. He's given up eight runs over 16.1 innings across three starts since returning from a left hip impingement. Overall, he's posted a 5.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 86:24 K:BB through 108.1 innings across 20 starts this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Athletics.
