The Rangers activated Seager (back) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Seager has been shelved since mid-May with lower-back inflammation, but he's been cleared to return to action after going 1-for-5 in a couple rehab games with Double-A Frisco. The shortstop had been in an offensive rut before getting hurt, going 0-for-25 over his last seven games. Seager will be back in the Rangers' lineup as they kick off a weekend series against the Guardians.

Trevino (hamstring) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout.

Trevino also caught six innings behind the plate in his first bit of game action since he strained his left hamstring nearly three weeks ago. The veteran backstop shouldn't require too many more rehab at-bats before rejoining the Reds' active roster.

Straw went 2-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

Getting the start in center field in place of Daulton Varsho against southpaw Chris Sale, Straw produced a two-run single in the third inning before playing a role in the Blue Jays' four-run outburst in the top of the ninth. It was the veteran outfielder's first multi-hit performance since May 6, snapping a 1-for-23 skid that had dragged his OPS on the season down from .812 to .647. Straw remains an important bench piece for Toronto in a predominantly lefty-swinging outfield, but playing time will be even harder to come by once Addison Barger (elbow) is activated from the IL.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

His current homer drought stands at 15 games, but Guerrero might be on the verge of a summer rampage. The star first baseman has doubles in four of the last six games, and over his last 10 contests he's slashing .389/.476/.500 with seven runs, albeit with just two RBI.

Clement went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

The 30-year-old infielder extended his current hitting streak to seven games with his fifth performance of the season of three hits or more. Clement has hit safely in 16 of his last 17 contests, slashing .381/.400/.619 over that blistering stretch with six doubles, three homers, one steal, 10 runs and 10 RBI.

Acuna went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays.

The third-inning steal was Acuna's 14th of the season, with seven of them coming in the last eight games. Over that stretch, the 28-year-old superstar is slashing .296/.472/.889 with five homers, seven runs and nine RBI as he shows signs of regaining the pre-injury form that saw him deliver 41 home runs and 73 stolen bases in a historic 2023 regular-season campaign.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored Thursday against the Astros.

Lowe ignited a Pirates rally with each of his doubles, coming around to score both times. It was his first multi-hit game in his last seven starts, though he's still been plenty productive of late. Across his last 10 games, Lowe has two homers, eight RBI and 10 runs scored. He's maintained an .873 OPS across 57 games this season, his highest mark since 2020.

The Yankees will recall Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday to take the roster spot of the injured Aaron Judge (ribs), Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Jones will likely head back to the minors once Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) or Giancarlo Stanton (calf) returns, but Jones should receive at least a week or so of regular playing time with the big club. The young outfielder struggled in his first stint in the majors earlier this year, going 4-for-24 with no home runs and a 3:12 BB:K.

Moreno batted third in the order and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo adjusted the lineup Thursday, swapping the spots of Moreno and shortstop Geraldo Perdomo, who was dropped to seventh. It was just the third time this season the catcher has hit third, but he's been one of the team's hottest hitters of late, slashing .311/.394/.459 over the last 17 contests. Per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports, Perdomo will mainly stick in the seventh spot for now, but it's not yet clear if Moreno will be the primary No. 3 hitter while the shortstop works through his struggles at the dish.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that the plan for now is to keep Perdomo in the lower third of the batting order, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Perdomo hit out of the seventh spot Thursday and responded with two hits, including a two-out, game-tying single in the bottom of the eighth inning. Perdomo could move around the lineup depending on days off for teammates, but the plan is to mainly keep in the seven-hole for now. The shortstop had a breakout 2025 but is slashing .230/.333/.348 with three home runs, 22 RBI, eight steals and 27 runs through 59 games in 2026.
