The Astros activated Abreu from the restricted list Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Abreu missed the series in Toronto earlier this week as he tended to a personal matter, but he's back for the weekend series in Detroit. Colton Gordon was sent down in a corresponding roster move.

Chandler (3-7) earned the win Thursday over the Mariners, allowing a run on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

It was a strong performance from Chandler, who held the Mariners scoreless for four innings before allowing a lone run in the fifth. The right-hander has now held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last four outings, posting a 2.82 ERA across 22.2 innings in that span. Overall, Chandler's ERA sits at 4.42 through 79.1 innings this season with a 1.39 WHIP and 73:46 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the Phillies on the road his next time out.

The Rangers placed Freeman on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a herniated disc.

Freeman missed the first two months of the season with a lower-back fracture, though it's unclear if this injury is related. The utility player is 4-for-17 at the dish during his brief time in the majors this season.

Clement (hip) will start at shortstop and bat second Thursday against the Rangers.

Left hip soreness forced Clement to miss four starts in the past six games, but he was able to appear as a pinch hitter Wednesday and will now return to the starting nine for Thursday's series opener. The 30-year-old infielder has fallen into a cold spell at the plate recently, going just 2-for-19 with a walk and a run scored across his last six games.

The Rangers activated Seager from the 7-day concussion injured list Thursday.

Seager was sidelined for two weeks with concussion symptoms following a collision at home plate earlier this month. He skipped a rehab assignment, as the Rangers were satisfied with how Seager looked and felt in on-field workouts. Seager is sporting a disappointing .186/.284/.373 with nine home runs in 47 games this season.

The Phillies reinstated Rojas (elbow) from the restricted list Thursday and placed him on the 60-day injured list.

Rojas received an 80-game suspension at the start of the season after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs, and he's set to miss the entire 2026 campaign after tearing the UCL in his right elbow while ramping up his activity. He was given a 6-to-8-month recovery timeline after undergoing surgery earlier this month, so he could be ready to go by the time spring training begins next year.

Crooks is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The left-handed-hitting Crooks didn't start the previous two days due to Arizona having a lefty on the mound. He's absent from Thursday's lineup because Ivan Herrera has been Michael McGreevy's personal catcher this season. Crooks had started six of seven contests prior to this three-game run with no starts, so it's been an inconsistent stretch of playing time for the rookie catcher.

The Brewers optioned Yoho to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Yoho was lit up for three earned runs during his inning of work Wednesday against the Reds, bringing his ERA up to 6.00 through six innings with the Brewers. He's had much more success in the minors (0.90 ERA through 20 IP), so the team will send him back down to Nashville to get back on track. Jared Koenig (elbow) is expected to return from the injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Cubs to fill the vacant bullpen spot.

Durbin (finger) will start at third base and bat sixth in Thursday's contest versus the Yankees.

Durbin had to leave Wednesday's game against the Rockies due to a partial dislocation of his left pinkie finger. While Durbin's finger surely isn't fully recovered, he will attempt to play through the injury.

Moran (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Moran has missed the past three weeks with left elbow inflammation, but he's improved enough to be cleared for a game setting. The southpaw should rejoin the Boston bullpen by late June or early July.
