The Red Sox recalled Burdi from Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander will join the Red Sox ahead of Friday's series opener in Atlanta with Liam Hendriks (hip) headed to the injured list. Burdi has allowed four hits over 2.1 scoreless frames in his two big-league appearances this season and should fill a low-leverage relief role while up with Boston.

Hendriks was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with right hip inflammation, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Hendriks has reportedly been pitching through this issue in recent weeks while logging a 19.64 ERA and 2.18 WHIP over his last five appearances. The move is retroactive to May 28, so Hendriks will be eligible to return June 13 against the Yankees.

Massey (ankle) is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth Friday against the Tigers.

Massey was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to left ankle soreness but is able to give it a go as the DH for the first game of this weekend's home series against Detroit. He is hitting .250 with zero home runs and one steal over his last 10 games.

Campbell is batting eighth Friday against Atlanta.

Campbell is expected to get one start at first base during this weekend's series, but he's starting at second base in this one. He is hitting .114 with one home run and zero steals in his last 22 games and this is the third time this season he's hit lower than seventh and the first time since May 23 he's hit eighth.

Erceg was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a lower-back strain.

The most recent news was that Erceg was unavailable due to illness, but this back issue is likely the main reason he hasn't pitched since May 24. His IL placement is retroactive to May 27, so he could return June 12 against the Yankees if he misses the minimum amount of time.

Lugo (finger) was activated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Tigers.

The right-hander landed on the shelf in mid-May due to inflammation in his right middle finger, and he's rejoining Kansas City's rotation without a minor-league rehab assignment. Lugo has continued to be a reliable rotation piece for the Royals early in 2025 with a 3.02 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 42:15 K:BB across 56.2 innings.

Trout (knee) was officially reinstated from the injured list prior to Friday's game against the Guardians.

Trout missed nearly all of May with the knee injury, but he'll be back in the lineup for the weekend series in Cleveland. Trout is batting fifth and will be limited to designated hitter initially after not going on a rehab assignment.

The Blue Jays recalled Roden from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

The 25-year-old will return to Toronto as Anthony Santander (shoulder) heads to the 10-day injured list. Roden struggled in his first taste of the majors earlier this season with a .178/.262/.260 slash line in 28 games, but he's been crushing for Triple-A Buffalo with three homers, three steals and a 1.029 OPS in 83 plate appearances.

The Blue Jays placed Santander on the 10-day injured list Friday due to left shoulder inflammation.

The veteran outfielder has gone 0-for-17 with three walks and seven strikeouts in his past five games, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. Santander has been playing through hip and shoulder issues for most of May, and it's his shoulder that ended up sending him to the IL. Alan Roden was called up from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Santander may get a cortisone shot in the coming days, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca.

Wallner (hamstring) is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Wallner has been out since mid-April due to a hamstring strain but is just about ready to rejoin the Twins after going 8-for-25 with five homers during a six-game rehab assignment. The 27-year-old had a hot start to the campaign, posting a .263/.373/.474 slash line with five doubles, two triples and a homer in 18 games.
