The White Sox reinstated Ramos (elbow) from the injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

Ramos landed on the injured list at the start of the regular season due to a right elbow strain. He now appears to be fully recovered from the injury and is ready to begin playing regularly at Charlotte. The 23-year-old slashed .202/.252/.333 in 107 MLB plate appearances last season but showed signs of improvement in spring training, finishing the Cactus League slate with a .745 OPS.

Bradfield was placed on the 7-day injured list of Double-A Chesapeake on Friday due to a left hamstring injury, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Bradfield sustained the injury during Thursday's game, and the issue is severe enough to warrant a stint on the IL. He went 7-for-18 with three walks, two stolen bases and one RBI across his first six outings with Chesapeake before the injury.

Slater is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Red Sox on Friday.

Slater was slated to start in right field and bat third, but Brooks Baldwin will take his place instead. It's unclear why Slater was scratched from the lineup, but more clarity could be given by the White Sox following Friday's game.

The Athletics will recall Ginn from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Saturday's game against the Mets, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

The A's were down a man in their rotation after optioning Joey Estes to Triple-A following his ugly outing Sunday, so they'll now give Ginn another look in the big leagues. The 25-year-old righty has pitched well in the minors this season, allowing just two runs in 11 innings while striking out 19 batters and walking two.

Meadows (arm) resumed his hitting program Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Meadows has been able to participate in conditioning and fielding drills while working his way back from a nerve issue in his right arm, and he can now add hitting to that list as well. He still hasn't done any sort of throwing, but if manager A.J. Hinch's timeline from spring training remains intact, the 25-year-old outfielder should be cleared to throw sometime next weekend.

Malloy is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Twins on Friday.

Malloy has worked out of the leadoff spot in the lineup in the Tigers' last six games as the designated hitter. He'll begin Friday's game in the dugout while Colt Keith takes on DH duties against Twins right-hander David Festa. Malloy has started the season 6-for-26 with eight walks, four runs scored and four RBI.

Margot was diagnosed with a patellar tendon strain in his left knee Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Margot injured his knee in Monday's win over the Yankees and was placed on the injured list Tuesday. It's still unclear if he will end up spending more than the 10-day minimum on the IL, though a return timeline should emerge as he progresses further in his rehab program.

Miranda is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

Miranda has struggled out of the gates this season, slashing .143/.143/.229 with one home run, five RBI and two runs scored across 35 plate appearances. He has struck out 13 times and drawn zero walks. With Miranda taking a seat, Willi Castro is starting at third base while Edouard Julien mans second.

The Tigers activated Torres (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and he is batting leadoff Friday against the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Torres has been sidelined since March 28 but is back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against David Festa. With Torres returning, Colt Keith moves to designated hitter, batting fifth. Riley Greene is in center field and both Ryan Kreidler and Justyn-Henry Malloy will come off the bench. Torres is 3-for-7 at the plate on the young season.

Young is a candidate to be called up to start next week when the Orioles need a fifth starter, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Young had been scheduled to start Friday at Triple-A Norfolk but has been pushed back to Sunday, which could indicate the Orioles are lining him up to take the ball next weekend against the Reds. The 26-year-old has permitted just two unearned runs with an 11:2 K:BB over 11.1 innings in his first two outings with Norfolk this season. If Young is indeed promoted next week, he would be making his major-league debut.
