The Rockies will activate Doyle (groin) from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Royals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Doyle has been sidelined since late May, first due to an oblique strain but more recently because of a strained groin. However, he has gone 10-for-21 with a home run since resuming his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque last week, clearing the way for his return. Doyle was not being used as an everyday player when he got hurt, and it might take the Rockies trading another outfielder to alter his playing time outlook.

Single-A Charleston activated Gray (elbow) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Gray wound up missing nearly two months due to midseason elbow surgery but has completed a two-week rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 18-year-old was taking the minor leagues by storm before going down, as he's slashing .275/.394/.456 with six home runs, three doubles, four triples, 30 RBI and four stolen bases over 198 plate appearances for Charleston.

Adames went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

Adames singled in the second inning before coming around to score. He also reached base on a fielder's choice in the seventh and stole second, logging his fourth stolen base of the season. The veteran shortstop has recorded a hit in six straight games and is now batting .214 with 16 runs scored, 13 RBI, four home runs and three stolen bases across 95 plate appearances in July. Overall, he's slashing .227/.281/.425 with 56 runs scored, 45 RBI and 18 long balls in 437 plate appearances this season.

Single-A Charleston activated de Brun (wrist) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

After recovering from December wrist surgery, de Brun completed a two-week rehab assignment with the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. The 19-year-old outfielder was part of Tampa Bay's compensation for trading Shane Baz to the Orioles last winter, and he's gone 10-for-22 (.455) with two doubles, four RBI, three stolen bases and six runs scored over his first seven career minor-league games.

Eldridge went 2-for-5 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

Eldridge singled in the first inning and added another base hit in the third, marking his first multi-hit performance since July 18. The 21-year-old is batting .213 with 12 runs scored, 10 RBI, five home runs, a stolen base and 15:35 BB:K in 104 plate appearances in July. Overall, he's slashing .253/.353/.451 with 35 runs scored, 26 RBI, 11 long balls and a stolen base across 275 plate appearances this season.

Steele (elbow) will throw from flat ground and then toss 20 pitches off a mound Saturday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Steele has been sidelined all season, first as he continued his recovery from UCL revision surgery and later after suffering a flexor strain in April. The left-hander will not have enough time to get stretched out as a starting pitcher this season, but a return late in the year as a reliever is possible.

High-A Jersey Shore activated Spikerman (ankle) from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

Spikerman missed about a month of action with an ankle injury, but he's back with Jersey Shore after making a pair of rehab appearances for Single-A Clearwater. Over 125 plate appearances for the High-A club, the switch-hitting outfielder is slashing .253/.405/.337 with four doubles, two triples, nine RBI and 18 stolen bases.

Triple-A Norfolk activated Trimble (hamstring) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Trimble is back in action with the Tides after missing over a month of play with right hamstring discomfort. The switch-hitting outfielder has made 88 plate appearances across four levels of minor-league ball this season, slashing .274/.375/.658 with eight home runs, four doubles, 18 RBI and 20 runs scored.

The Twins transferred Sands (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

A move was required to free space on the 40-man roster for the addition of A.J. Minter. Sands is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to remove loose bodies and bone spurs from his right elbow and is out for the rest of the season.

The Orioles designated Tromp for assignment Friday.

The transaction frees a spot for the addition of Jake Rogers, who was acquired via trade Thursday and officially reported to the club Friday. Assuming Tromp passes through waivers, he would have the ability to elect free agency,
