The Athletics reinstated Wilson (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Wilson has been given the green light to return to the Athletics after fully recovering from a dislocated left shoulder that he suffered in early May. Now that he's back in the picture, Alika Williams is set to see less playing time in the infield. The move corresponds with Brent Rooker (knee) being placed on the 10-day injured list.

Schanuel (calf) is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Rays on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Schanuel will be out of the Halos' lineup for a second consecutive game while dealing with a left calf injury that he sustained after he took a pitch off his leg during Tuesday's game against the Astros. Trey Mancini will serve as the Angels' first baseman and bat fifth in Friday's game.

Meyers is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Royals on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Meyers will take a seat while the Astros start Joey Loperfido, Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith in the outfield from left to right. Meyers has gone 4-for-27 (.148) with two RBI over his last nine games.

The Tigers designated Short for assignment Friday.

The Tigers needed to make room on the 40-man roster after claiming James Outman off waivers. Short had been losing out on playing time, and with Zach McKinstry playing more infield following the addition of Outman, there was simply no role left for Short, per Jason Beck of MLB.com. Short is slashing .167/.304/.222 with two RBI over 46 plate appearances this season.

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

Both Hanifee and Beau Brieske will head down to Toledo in order to make room on the Tigers' 26-man roster for Kenley Jansen and Jacob Waguespack. Hanifee has appeared in 14 games (two starts) for the Tigers this season and has a 3.29 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and two holds over 13.2 innings. He could get another crack at major-league action should Detroit need right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

The Tigers optioned Brieske to Triple-A Toledo following Thursday's game against the Twins.

Both Brieske and Brenan Hanifee will head down to Triple-A to make room on the Tigers' 26-man roster for both Kenley Jansen and Jacob Waguespack. Brieske has tossed 2.2 scoreless innings over his last two outings and could return to the majors this season should the Tigers require right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

The Tigers selected Waguespack's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

The Tigers acquired Waguespack from the Brewers on Wednesday, and the right-hander will operate out of Detroit's bullpen after both Beau Brieske and Zack Short were optioned to Triple-A in corresponding moves. Waguespack has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 1.74 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB across 20.2 innings. He last saw major-league action in 2024 with the Rays, when he allowed six earned runs on 13 hits and 10 walks while striking out 11 across 10 innings.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch confirmed Friday that Mize (adductor) will rejoin the rotation with a start Sunday in Cleveland, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Mize has been out since late May with right adductor inflammation, but he's ready to roll after tossing five frames of one-run ball with five strikeouts in his lone rehab start with Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday. He threw 55 pitches Tuesday and hasn't had a full workload in three weeks, so Mize might not pitch deep into Sunday's contest.

Pederson (hip) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter Friday against the Red Sox.

The veteran slugger sat out Thursday's series finale in Kansas City after exiting Wednesday's contest due to left hip discomfort, but he's ready to go after sitting out one game. Pederson had a hot start to June -- going 5-for-12 with three extra-base hits in the first three contests of the month -- but he has just one hit across his past five games.

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

Seager is batting .238 (5-for-21) with two homers and for RBI in five games since returning from the injured list last week, and he'll receive a day off Friday after starting the previous three contests. Ezequiel Duran will pick up a start shortstop for the series opener in Boston.
