Saucedo (knee) underwent an MRI on Friday which was encouraging, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Saucedo was placed on the 15-day injured list with a hyperextended right knee Wednesday, and after Friday's imaging, the Mariners are hoping he will return to the bullpen when he's first eligible to be activated May 23. The left-hander might need to make a rehab appearance before being activated.

General manager Justin Hollander said Friday that Santos (lat) will likely remain out until July, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Santos has primarily been throwing from flat ground at the Mariners' complex in Arizona. He will now move his rehab from Arizona to Seattle, though it remains unclear how far away the 24-year-old righty is from throwing off a mound. Santos has been on the IL all season due to a strained right lat.

Canzone (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Canzone is expected to play in four games with Tacoma before potentially coming off the injured list. The 26-year-old has been out since April 15 due to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, but he now appears to be on the cusp of returning to the major-league roster.

Brash underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Brash injured his right elbow during spring training and was pulled off his throwing program after suffering a setback in late April. He will now miss the remainder of the year as a result of his procedure, and the Mariners are hoping he can return by early June next season.

Nevin is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Mariners, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Nevin will take a seat for a second game in a row Friday as he's currently going through a 0-for-20 dry spell at the plate. Lawrence Butler will draw the start in right field and bat eighth against Seattle.

Davis isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

Davis went 2-for-6 and scored three times during Wednesday's doubleheader against Texas, and he will get an extended rest period as the A's begin their series with Seattle. Tyler Soderstrom will fill the void at first base and bat sixth.

Polanco is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest with the Athletics, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Polanco will get a breather after going 2-for-18 with one run scored and seven strikeouts over Seattle's four-game series in Minnesota. Josh Rojas will slide over to second base while Luis Urias enters the lineup at third base and bats ninth against Oakland.

Adrianza said Friday that he has experienced issues with his lower back, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

It's uncertain whether or not Adrianza will require a trip to the injured list, but he said he received an MRI on Friday, which should help determine how long he may be out for. The 34-year-old has played in eight games since joining the Angels in late April, slashing .192/.250/.346 with two RBI in 28 plate appearances.

The Rangers recalled Anderson from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Anderson will join Texas' bullpen as a replacement for Josh Sborz (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day injured list Thursday. Anderson has appeared in four games for the Rangers this season, allowing four earned runs across three innings while striking out five batters and walking none. He will likely be limited to low-leverage situations while in the big leagues.

Kirillof is not in the starting lineup for Friday's outing against the Blue Jays.

The 26-year-old will look on from the dugout for the second straight matchup as Austin Martin takes left field versus Toronto lefty Yusei Kikuchi. Kiriloff has struggled lately to produce with his bat, going hitless in his last six games.
