    • Rejoining big club
      The Blue Jays recalled Barger from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

      Advice: The 24-year-old went 1-for-18 during a brief stint with the Blue Jays earlier this season, and he'll rejoin the MLB roster after he posted a .218/.344/.391 slash line in 31 games since being returned to Buffalo in early May. Barger doesn't have a clear path to an everyday role despite being one of the organization's top prospects, but he's still likely to see at least semi-regular playing time while up with Toronto.

    • Returns from injured list
      The Giants reinstated Ahmed (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Areareports.

      Advice: Ahmed has been sidelined just over a month by a sprained left wrist but is ready to rejoin the Giants after three rehab appearances in the minors. He was operating as San Francisco's primary shortstop prior to the injury and has a .236/.274/.291 slash line through 36 games this season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:48 am
       
    • Optioned to Triple-A
      The Giants optioned Schmitt to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Schmitt saw some action at shortstop after Nick Ahmed (wrist) went down, but Brett Wisely had overtaken him recently and now Ahmed is back in the fold. The 25-year-old Schmitt has produced just a .586 OPS in 102 games so far at the big-league level. Rotowire.com Today, 9:43 am

    • Activated and optioned
      The Giants activated Luciano (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Luciano has put his hamstring injury in the rearview mirror, but he will remain at Sacramento where he had been on a rehab assignment rather than return to the majors. Nick Ahmed (wrist) is also back from the IL and will take over as the Giants' shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 9:40 am
       
    • Serves as DH on rehab
      Gonzalez (hamstring) served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI for Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.

      Advice: Gonzalez made his first appearance while on a rehab assignment and played five innings. Per Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe, Gonzalez is expected to start at first base Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 5:54 am

    • Moves up order
      Hamilton batted second and went 1-for-5 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 9-3 win over Philadelphia.

      Advice: Hamilton's good stretch of hitting led to batting second for the second consecutive game against a right-hander, and the shortstop extended a hit streak to five games. Since mid-May, when manager Alex Cora started giving him regular run in the starting lineup, Hamilton has batted .341/.378/.553 with 11 extra-base hits, nine RBI, 14 runs and 10 steals over 26 contests.

    • Stays at shortstop
      Smith started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Smith made another start at shortstop, as the Rangers are being careful with Corey Seager (hamstring). Seager had returned to action Wednesday, serving as the DH, and was originally in Thursday's starting lineup at DH before being scratched. Smith continued to be surprising contributor for the Rangers; he's 19-for-53 (.358) with six extra-base hits, two steals, four RBI and 10 runs scored over the last 15 games.

    • Contributes to win
      Newman started at shortstop and went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 11-1 over the Angels.

      Advice: Newman delivered a two-run single in the seventh then, after stealing his third bag of the season, trotted home on Joc Pederson's grand slam. Newman made his first start in three games; he had been the primary shortstop until Geraldo Perdomo was activated off the IL on Tuesday. Newman will work in a utility role and currently is considered the top backup to Christian Walker at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 4:55 am

    • Forgettable night in return
      Moore (personal) went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in his return from paternity leave during an extra-inning loss against the White Sox on Thursday.

      Advice: Moore had sat out the previous two games while on leave, and he went down on strikes three times against masterful White Sox starter Garrett Crochet before also logging one final punchout when facing reliever Michael Kopech. Since hitting safely in back-to-back games May 25-26, Moore has been mired in a nightmarish slump, going 4-for-42 with a single extra-base hit (a double) and a 38.8 percent strikeout across his last 13 contests.
