Stewart is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

Stewart had started each of the previous six contests but will get a breather Friday after going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Thursday's game versus the Cubs. Spencer Steer is handling first base and Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) has returned to the lineup at third base.

Hayes (back) will start at third base and bat seventh in Friday's game versus the Cubs.

Hayes didn't start the previous two tilts due to a back issue, but he entered Thursday's game against the Cubs as a defensive replacement and is back in the lineup Friday. The 28-year-old enters play Friday having gone hitless over his last five contests.

Larnach is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

Larnach will take a seat Friday against left-hander Parker Messick. In his place, Carson McCusker will DH while Austin Martin, Byron Buxton and James Outman fill the outfield from left to right.

Dingler is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus Atlanta.

It's a routine day off after Dingler started at catcher each of the previous five contests. Jake Rogers will be behind the dish and bat ninth for the Tigers on Friday.

Wallner (back) isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

Wallner was removed from Wednesday's contest due to back spasms, and despite a team day off Thursday, he'll be out of the lineup Friday. James Outman will fill right field in place of Wallner.

Keith (back) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

Keith had to be lifted from Thursday's contest versus the Guardians with a back injury and was sent for an MRI, so it's no surprise he's not ready to play in Friday's series opener. There's no word yet on the results of the imaging, but the Tigers should have an update on the 24-year-old soon. Zach McKinstry will play third base and bat eighth in Keith's stead.

O'Neill is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

O'Neill will be idle for the third time in eight games since being activated from the injured list Sept. 12. Jeremiah Jackson will bat sixth and fill right field Friday.

Holliday (undisclosed) is playing second base and batting leadoff Friday against the Yankees.

Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Holliday was out of the lineup Thursday because he was nicked up. However, the infielder is back in the starting nine for Friday's contest, holding down the leadoff spot. In his last 18 games, Holliday is 22-for-68 (.324) with two home runs, five stolen bases and a 15:16 BB:K.

The White Sox recalled Booser from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Booser has bounced between Charlotte and Chicago multiple times this season, holding a 4.82 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 33:18 K:BB over 28 frames in the majors. He'll give manager Will Venable another lefty in the bullpen.

The White Sox placed Perez on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left shoulder strain.

Perez was forced to depart his last start against the Orioles in the fourth inning with the injury, and it will officially end his season. The veteran left-hander was limited to only 56 frames this season due to elbow and shoulder issues, but he fared pretty well when on the bump, posting a 3.54 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 44:22 K:BB. Perez will be a free agent this offseason.
