Bellinger is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

Bellinger will get the night off Friday after making five consecutive starts. In his place, Jasson Dominguez will man left field while Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge patrol center and left, respectively.

Caminero is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

Caminero is getting his first day off since May 21, yielding his spot at third base to Curtis Mead. In his last six games, Caminero is 10-for-22 (.455) with two home runs, seven runs scored, seven RBI and a 5:4 BB:K.

The Red Sox optioned Campbell to Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Campbell has been slumping at the plate and struggling in the field recently, and Boston will send him down to Triple-A to get back on track. In his last 30 MLB games, Campbell slashed .176/.270/.231 with a 28.8 percent strikeout rate. His spot on the active roster goes to Wilyer Abreu (oblique), who is coming off the injured list.

The Red Sox reinstated Abreu (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old landed on the shelf June 9 due to an oblique strain, but he'll end up missing just more than the 10-day minimum. Abreu has a .792 OPS with 13 homers through 234 plate appearances this season, though he was slumping prior to the injury with a .161/.182/.274 slash line and 31.8 percent strikeout rate in his past 22 games.

Tauchman (groin) isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

Tauchman exited Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader due to soreness in his right groin and will be withheld from the starting nine for Friday's contest. Tauchman should still be considered day-to-day. Andrew Benintendi, Luis Robert and Austin Slater will fill the outfield from left to right.

The Yankees reinstated Weaver (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Weaver officially beats his initial 4-to-6 week timeline for return by over a week, returning to the active roster just 17 days after being placed on the IL for a strained hamstring. The 31-year-old had served as New York's primary closer before sustaining the injury, but Devin Williams has gone 4-for-4 on save chances while Weaver's been idle, leaving some room for competition. It's worth noting Weaver has been the more reliable option throughout the campaign, boasting a 1.05 ERA compared to Williams' 5.27 ERA.

Taylor will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The 23-year-old was called up by the White Sox on June 10 and has allowed two earned runs with a 5:1 K:BB over four frames in his first four big-league appearances, all in relief. Taylor was in the rotation for his first six outings of the season for Double-A Birmingham before being shifted to relief for his subsequent nine appearances, so the right-hander is likely to have a limited workload Friday.

The White Sox selected Palisch's contract from Double-A Birmingham on Friday.

Palisch has yet to make his MLB debut. In 15 outings (seven starts) at Double-A, he owns a 1.19 ERA and 35:14 K:BB across 53 innings. Palisch started the season as a reliever but is now fully stretched out. With scheduled starter Davis Martin (forearm) landing on the injured list, Palisch could factor into Chicago's pitching plans Friday.

The White Sox placed Martin on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a right forearm strain.

The right-hander was penciled in to start Friday against the Blue Jays, but he's instead landed on the IL. Martin will be eligible to return from the shelf in early July, but given the nature of the injury, he could wind up missing more than the minimum 15 days. Chicago has yet to announce a replacement starter for Friday's contest.

The White Sox placed Booser on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a left shoulder strain.

Booser yielded three runs (two earned) in a blown save Thursday and will now be sidelined for a couple of weeks. The 33-year-old has posted a 5.11 ERA and 27:14 K:BB in 24.2 innings with the White Sox this season. The move opens up a spot on the active roster for Wikelman Gonzalez.
