Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Schmidt (elbow) will make one more rehab appearance Saturday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

If that goes well, Schmidt could rejoin the active roster during the Yankees' road trip next week. He's made four rehab appearances so far, allowing three runs with an 8:1 K:BB over 5.2 innings. Coming back from an internal brace procedure, Schmidt will be used in a bullpen role for the Yankees down the stretch before likely re-entering the rotation in 2027.

Peters is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

As St. Louis sends out southpaw Matthew Liberatore, the left-handed-hitting Peters will ride the pine for Friday's series opener. Brenton Doyle will take over in center field and bat sixth for the White Sox.

Murakami is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.

The Cardinals are sending left-hander Matthew Liberatore to the mound, so the White Sox are giving their left-handed-hitting slugger a day off. Miguel Vargas will slide over to first base, Colson Montgomery will cover third base and Luisangel Acuna will grab a start at shortstop.

Flaherty (forearm) is slated to throw a 2-to-3-inning simulated game Saturday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Flaherty made a rehab start last Sunday with Triple-A Toledo, throwing 19 pitches over 1.1 scoreless innings. He will get stretched out a bit more Saturday and could rejoin the Tigers rotation next week, though he likely wouldn't be prepared for a full workload. Flaherty has been shelved since late July due to right forearm flexor inflammation.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that Perez (orbital) is "most likely" done for the season, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Perez suffered an orbital fracture and blurred vision back in June when he was struck in the face by an exercise band. He had to be pulled off a rehab assignment in August because his vision still wasn't back to normal, and it seems Perez will run out of time to return before the curtains close on the regular season.

The Red Sox recalled Seigler from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

Seigler will rejoin the big-league club after spending just under two weeks in Worcester. In the majors this season, the 27-year-old has slashed .250/.331/.405 with three home runs and 13 RBI over 171 plate appearances. Boston sent Eli White (foot) to the 10-day IL to make room for Seigler on the roster.

Springer (shoulder) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Friday's contest against the Orioles.

Springer has been slowed this week by a nagging left shoulder issue, but he appeared off the bench in the Blue Jays' last game Wednesday and is back in the lineup for the series opener versus Baltimore.

Boston placed White on the 10-day injured list with a right foot ligament injury Friday, retroactive to Sept. 9.

White had produced at least one base hit in seven of his last eight games before being sidelined Friday. The 32-year-old had been taking over in center field for Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps), becoming an everyday player. In 60 plate appearances since joining Boston, White is slashing .276/.300/.379 with one homer and 12 RBI. The Red Sox recalled Anthony Seigler from Triple-A Worcester to replace White on the active roster.

Sears has joined the Tigers in Detroit and is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Toledo to start Saturday's game against the Rockies, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

With Jack Flaherty (forearm) due back from the injured list next week, Sears may be in line for just one start for Detroit before either heading to the bullpen or reporting back to Triple-A.Sears has made one start and two relief appearances with the Tigers this season, authoring a 4.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 8:3 K;BB over 12.1 innings.

Montero is traveling to his native Venezuela for the birth of his child, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Montero has not yet been placed on the paternity leave list, but that could happen Saturday when Andrew Sears is added to the roster to make a spot start. With Jack Flaherty (forearm) due back next week, Montero could spend the stretch run in the bullpen.
