The Orioles transferred Sanchez (knee) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The veteran catcher was ruled out 8-to-10 weeks after being diagnosed with a right knee sprain in early July, so it's not a surprise he eventually made his way to the 60-day IL. Sanchez will be eligible to be reinstated in early September, though it's unclear if he's expected to be available at that point.

The Athletics placed Perkins on the 15-day injured list Friday with a strained right shoulder.

Perkins appears to have picked up the injury during Thursday's start against Minnesota, when he yielded two runs over five innings en route to his third win of the campaign. The 25-year-old has a 4.19 ERA in 38.2 innings with the A's this season. Joey Estes was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill Perkins' spot on the roster and presumably in the rotation.

Semien (foot) is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Friday.

Semien fouled a ball off his left foot during Thursday's game against the Royals and was diagnosed with a foot contusion. Per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, Semien is in jeopardy of missing the entire weekend series, so his absence from Friday's lineup isn't surprising. Ezequiel Duran will draw the start at the keystone and bat eighth.

The Athletics recalled Nunez from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Nunez will rejoin the A's active roster for the first time since being optioned Aug. 6. The 26-year-old will fill Ben Bowden's (lat) spot in the bullpen. A trade deadline acquisition from San Diego, Nunez has allowed two runs with a 10:2 K:BB in five innings with Las Vegas.

Guerrero (hamstring) participated in pre-game warmups ahead of Friday's contest against the Marlins and could be available off the bench, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Guerrero has been out of the Blue Jays' lineup since leaving Monday's game against the Pirates due to left hamstring tightness. The good news is that he was cleared to participate in pre-game activities Friday, sprinting on the field before hitting in the batting cage. Guerrero should still be considered day-to-day, but there's a chance he returns to the lineup at some point during Toronto's three-game road series in Miami. Ty France is starting at first base in Friday's series opener.

The Athletics recalled Estes from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Estes hasn't pitched in an MLB game since April 6, spending nearly all of the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Las Vegas. The 23-year-old has posted a 5.51 ERA and 67:20 K:BB across 17 appearances (15 starts) spanning 80 innings with Las Vegas. Estes is likely to slot into the A's rotation, taking the place of Jack Perkins (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day injured list.

The Athletics activated Wilson (forearm) from the 10-day injured list, and he will start at shortstop and bat fifth against the Mariners on Friday.

The 23-year-old will return to the majors after fully recovering from a fractured left forearm that landed him on the IL in late July. He appeared in four games for Triple-A Reno during his rehab assignment and went 3-for-14 with a solo homer and two additional runs scored. Max Schuemann was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

X-rays on McNeil's right shoulder came back negative, and he is available off the bench for Friday's game against Atlanta, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

McNeil is out of the Mets' lineup for a second straight game due to a right shoulder issue, but the good news for the veteran is that imaging didn't reveal any structural damage. He'll be available off the bench as a pinch hitter and could return to the lineup at some point during this weekend's three-game road series.

The Brewers activated Bauers (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Bauers has been sidelined since just after the All-Star break with a left shoulder impingement but is ready to go after homering three times in five rehab games. The 29-year-old will likely operate primarily as a reserve bat.

The Brewers placed Ortiz (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left hamstring strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Ortiz left Thursday's game against the Cubs after grabbing at his hamstring while running out a groundball, and further testing revealed he's dealing with a strain. Per McCalvy, it's a low-grade strain. The 26-year-old shortstop's spot on the 26-man roster will go to Jake Bauers (shoulder), who's being activated from the injured list in a corresponding move. Look for Andruw Monasterio and Brice Turang to handle most of the action at shortstop while Ortiz is idle.
