Urshela is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

The veteran third baseman will get a breather as Matt Vierling gets the start at the hot corner and bats fifth. Urshela has gone 4-for-18 in his last five games and is slashing .256/.282/.305 on the year.

Fletcher is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Baltimore.

Fletcher will cede center field duties to Tommy Pham, with Andrew Benintendi and Corey Julks rounding out Chicago's outfield. Fletcher has yet to collect a hit since returning to the big-league roster May 15, going 0-for-6.

Rogers is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

Carson Kelly will get the start at catcher as Rogers sits for a second straight game. The 29-year-old Rogers has started only four of Detroit's last 12 games, and he's gone just 2-for-16 over that span with a 1:7 BB:K.

Olson (hip) is listed as the Tigers' probable starter for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The 24-year-old exited his start Monday against the Royals with a bruised hip after being struck by a comebacker, but he's ready for his next turn through the rotation. Olson has enjoyed a nice start to the campaign with a 2.16 ERA over 50 innings, but he's been particularly effective across his past five starts with just three earned runs allowed.

Urias was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

With Seattle deciding to bring back outfielder Jonatan Clase, Urias will lose his spot in the majors. The 26-year-old third baseman has a slash line of .152/.264/.316 with 12 RBI on the season.

Clase was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

The 22-year-old outfielder was optioned at the end of April but will make his return to the majors with Luis Urias being optioned down. Clase has appeared in nine games for the Mariners this season, going 6-for-27 with three RBI and two stolen bases.

Baez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

The 31-year-old will cede shortstop duties to Zach McKinstry. Baez has started nine of the last 10 games for the Tigers, batting 11-for-34 with nine RBI in that stretch.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Royals.

Palacios started the previous four games but will sit Friday after he went 3-for-14 with a walk and a run during that stretch. Jonny DeLuca will start in right field and bat third.

Lowe (side) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

The 26-year-old departed Wednesday's contest with a right side strain and was sent for an MRI on Thursday, the results of which remain unknown. Lowe will sit for at least one game and should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Maeda (illness) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and will start Friday against the Blue Jays.

Maeda was previously expected to rejoin Detroit's rotation Saturday or Sunday, but he'll instead take the mound Friday. The right-handed veteran has started seven games this season and has a 1-1 record with a 6.75 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB over 30.2 innings.
