Williamson (hamstring) has resumed baseball activities, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Out since early August with a right hamstring strain, Williamson will work out with the Rays through the weekend and could then begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham next week. If Williamson is able to rejoin the Rays' active roster later this month, he could be used in a short-side platoon role at second base with Richie Palacios.

The Red Sox recalled Seigler from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

Seigler will rejoin the big-league club after spending just under two weeks in Worcester. In the majors this season, the 27-year-old has slashed .250/.331/.405 with three home runs and 13 RBI over 171 plate appearances. Boston sent Eli White (foot) to the 10-day IL to make room for Seigler on the roster.

Lee is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rockies.

It looks to be a routine day off for the rookie infielder. Javier Baez will cover second base for the Tigers while Lee rests.

Cauley entered Thursday's game as a pinch runner and stole a base in a 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Cauley, who has a history of stealing bases in the minors, stole his first bag as a major leaguer. He's served in a niche role since returning as part of the Rangers' roster expansion. This was his fifth appearance since the recall, with four of them coming as a pinch runner and one on defense during a blowout loss. He's yet to have a plate appearance this month.

Campbell was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester on Thursday with a left foot contusion, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

While the injury seems relatively minor, there's a chance it will end Campbell's season given how little of the schedule is left. Campbell put up a .631 OPS with just two home runs through the end of June at Worcester this season, but he's slashed .320/.440/.524 with six long balls since July 1.

The Yankees placed Chisholm on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right thumb sprain.

Chisholm was injured Tuesday on a slide into second base. He will be shut down from all baseball activities for 7-to-10 days before being re-evaluated, and the Yankees could know by that point whether he has a chance to make it back before the end of the regular season. Anthony Volpe has taken Chisholm's roster spot and could share second base with Jose Caballero while Chisholm is shelved.

Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.

The Rangers faced Mariners left-hander Kade Anderson, which meant Foscue picked up a start. It was the fifth southpaw faced in the club's last eight games, and Foscue has done well with his recent surge in plate appearances. His single Wednesday extended a hit streak to seven contests, during which he's gone 8-for-20 with two doubles, one home run and seven RBI. Foscue is batting .271 with an .838 OPS across a career-high 218 plate appearances.

Lee went 0-for-2 with three walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

Getting the start at second base and batting second, Lee did an effective job setting the table for the heart of Detroit's order. The rookie infielder is batting just .115 (3-for-26) in September, but he's drawn seven free passes and scored six runs in eight games. With the Tigers having fallen out of the wild-card picture, the 23-year-old will likely continue getting consistent playing time while bouncing between the keystone and the hot corner.

The Orioles recalled Jackson from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

He will provide utility depth and could get some starts against left-handed pitching while Blaze Alexander (back) is sidelined. Jackson has slashed .226/.255/.359 with seven home runs in 89 games for the Orioles this season.

Chisholm has been diagnosed with a right thumb sprain and will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Chisholm suffered the injury on a slide into second base during Tuesday's game versus the Rockies. He will be shut down from baseball activities for 7-to-10 days before being re-evaluated. Given the timing of the injury, it's possible Chisholm won't make it back before the end of the regular season. Anthony Volpe could replace Chisholm on the active roster, and if that happens Volpe is an option to share starts at second base with Jose Caballero.
