    • Returns from IL
      The Reds activated Friedl (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

      Advice: Freidl missed a little over a month with a strained right hamstring but is ready to go after playing a few rehab games. The 28-year-old has been limited to only 26 contests this season due to injury but will regain his role as the Reds' regular center fielder, at least versus right-handed pitching.

    • In lineup Friday
      Buxton (forearm) is batting second and playing center field Friday against Detroit.

      Advice: Buxton exited Wednesday's game after being hit by a pitch in the forearm, but after X-rays came back negative and a team off day Thursday, he'll be back in action. Buxton is 3-for-17 with a pair of home runs since the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:48 am
       
    • Phillies acquire OF Austin Hays from Orioles
      Phillies acquired OF Austin Hays from the Orioles in exchange for RHP Seranthony Dominguez and OF Christian Pache.

      Advice: Hays gives the Phillies a strong right-handed offensive option in the outfield. He’s hitting .328/.394/.500 against left-handed pitching this year and has hit .272/.328/.463 against left-handed pitching in his career. An All-Star a season ago for Baltimore, Hays finds himself as the odd man out in the crowded Orioles outfield. Rotoworld Friday, 9:51 am
       
    • Lands in Philadelphia
      The Phillies acquired Hays from the Orioles on Friday in exchange for right-hander Seranthony Dominguez and outfielder Cristian Pache.

      Advice: It's no secret that Philadelphia has been seeking outfield help, and Hays was available after being squeezed out of an everyday role in Baltimore. The 29-year-old has slashed a disappointing .255/.316/.395 with just three home runs over 175 plate appearances in 2024, but he posted a .275/.325/.444 slash line with 16 homers while making the All-Star team in 2023. His immediate role could be that of a short-side platoon partner for Brandon Marsh, as Hays has slashed .328/.394/.500 this season versus lefties. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:43 am
       
    • Reinstated from injured list
      The Twins activated Lewis (groin) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

      Advice: The 25-year-old landed on the shelf with an adductor strain in early July, but he's ready to rejoin the Twins after a two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul. Lewis has been dominant at the plate when available this year with 10 homers and a 1.039 OPS, but injuries have limited him to just 24 games. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:33 am
       
    • Twins activate 3B Royce Lewis from injured list
      Twins activated 3B Royce Lewis from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Lewis started a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday as he returns from an adductor strain. When healthy, he’s been an absolute beast at the plate for Minnesota. Lewis has hit .303 with 27 home runs and 75 RBI in 94 games over the last three years. He has the potential to be a difference maker in fantasy leagues over the rest of the season. Lewis is hitting .292 with a 1.039 OPS and 18 RBI in 24 games this year. Rotoworld Friday, 8:28 am
       
    • Heading to bench Thursday
      Siri is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Siri will exit the starting nine for the first time since July 7 in what looks to be a maintenance day. Jonny DeLuca will pick up the start in center field for Siri, who could probably benefit from a day off after striking out six times in eight at-bats between the first two games of the series in Toronto.

    • Moving to bench Thursday
      Urshela is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: Urshela will head to the bench for the first time since July 13, ending his streak of seven consecutive starts. Bligh Madris will step in for Urshela at first base. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:04 am

    • Moving to bench Thursday
      Canha is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: Canha will cede his spot in the lineup to Zach McKinstry, who gets the nod at third base while Matt Vierling shifts to the outfield. After going 0-for-22 over a six-game stretch from June 25 through July 2, Canha has bounced back over the ensuing three weeks, slashing .306/.390/.500 over 11 games. As a veteran on an expiring contract, Canha could be a prime candidate to get moved elsewhere ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline while the 50-53 Tigers likely find themselves in the sellers camp.
