The Rangers designated Edwards for assignment Friday.

Edwards will surrender his spot on the 40-man roster to make room for Tyler Mahle (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day IL on Friday. Edwards, 34, has given up three earned runs in six MLB innings this season and carries a 5.31 ERA through 39 frames at Triple-A Round Rock.

The Rangers reinstated Mahle (shoulder) from the injured list ahead of his start against Miami on Friday.

A shoulder strain has kept Mahle off a big-league mound since mid-June, though he's made three rehab appearances in the minors this month, coughing up five earned runs with a 10:2 K:BB across 7.1 innings. He threw just 52 pitches during his most recent appearance, so the Rangers may aim to limit his workload Friday against a Marlins offense that's posted a .712 OPS since Sept. 1. Carl Edwards was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Boston.

Lowe is out of the lineup for the second time in three games, a stretch that followed four consecutive starts at second base. In his last six games, Lowe is 6-for-26 (.231) with a homer and nine strikeouts.

Simpson is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox

Simpson will get a breather after making four consecutive starts -- two in center field, two in left. Christopher Morel will patrol left field Friday while Everson Pereira mans center.

The Tigers optioned Horn to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Horn has given up just one run in 5.1 innings since joining the big-league squad Sept. 2, lowering his ERA in the majors to 1.59 through 11.1 frames. Despite his strong performance, he'll be pushed back to the minor leagues by Kyle Finnegan (groin), who returned from the injured list Friday.

Mangum is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Mangum will take a seat for the second time in three games. Christopher Morel, Everson Pereira and Josh Lowe will fill the outfield from left to right.

The Tigers reinstated Finnegan (groin) from the injured list Friday.

Finnegan has sat out the entire month of September while dealing with a right groin strain. He made one rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, striking out one batter and walking another over two-thirds of an inning, and he now has the green light to return to Detroit's bullpen. The 34-year-old righty has pitched 14.1 shutout frames with a 19:3 K:BB since joining the Tigers at the trade deadline and could get save opportunities down the stretch.

Caminero (back tightness) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Boston.

Caminero is out of the lineup for a second straight game after being lifted from Wednesday's contest with mid-back tightness. Tristan Gray will bat sixth and play third base Friday. Caminero is taking swings in the batting cage Friday, and if all goes well, he'll be back in action Saturday.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Scheemann isn't part of the starting nine for a third consecutive contest. Steven Kwan, Angel Martinez and C.J. Kayfus will fill the outfield from left to right.

Rivas is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

Rivas is on the bench for the third time in four games, with Jorge Polanco manning second base. Rivas has one hit in his last 16 at-bats, but he has a pair of stolen bases and a 5:4 BB:K during that stretch.
