Lee went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 11-8 win over the White Sox.

Lee fueled a Tigers comeback, smacking an RBI double in the sixth inning before tying the game with a two-run shot in the eighth. It was the 23-year-old's first career four-hit effort, and he's now tallied six extra-base hits and eight RBI over his past six contests. On the year, he's slashing .264/.320/.432 with 10 homers, 42 RBI, 38 runs scored and two steals across 326 plate appearances.

Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Chisholm (thumb) is expected to return from the injured list during New York's upcoming homestand, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Chisholm has been on the shelf since Sept. 10 due to a sprained right thumb, and although Boone didn't give an exact date for when Chisholm will be activated, the second baseman appears to have made encouraging progress in his recovery. He'll presumably spend the rest of the weekend ramping up baseball activities before the team determines his availability for Tuesday's series opener against the Rays.

Sogard started at second base Thursday but moved to first after Willson Contreras was removed with a bruised right hand.

Sogard, who was hitless in four at-bats, has been getting steady work at second base, but versatility is his primary value to the Red Sox. Contreras is deemed day-to-day and told Perla Paredes of MLB.com that it "might take days" for the soreness and swelling to subside. Sogard, who has played 14 games at first base for Boston in 2026, is expected to share duties there with Mickey Gasper for as long as Contreras is unavailable.

Moore isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Moore will get a day to reset after going 0-for-19 with eight strikeouts across his last five games. Oswald Peraza will take over at second base and bat seventh.

Lee is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the White Sox.

Lee will grab a seat for Thursday's series opener after starting the previous five contests. Javier Baez will slot in at second base in Lee's stead.

The Rays optioned Madrigal to Triple-A Durham on Thursday.

Madrigal went 3-for-10 and drove in one run during his brief time on the big-league roster. His roster spot is being absorbed by Taylor Walls (hip), who has returned from the injured list.

Foscue started at second base and batted leadoff, going 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Boston.

Foscue settled in at leadoff for a third consecutive game, all against left-handed starters. He typically doesn't start against righties. Foscue has hammered southpaws this season, posting a slash line of .326/.397/.607 with eight home runs and 27 RBI over 151 plate appearances.

Massey went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Astros.

Massey crushed a solo shot in the eighth inning off the right-field foul pole to bring the lead to 3-0 for the Royals. This was Massey's first home run since coming off the 7-day concussion injured list in early September. Since returning from the injury, Massey is slashing .326/.354/.435 with two doubles, a homer and a steal in 12 games.

Keaschall went 3-for-5 with two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

The 24-year-old made his mark from the leadoff spot, and it was Keaschall who crossed the plate as the phantom runner in the bottom of the 13th inning on a Victor Caratini walk-off single. Keaschall has posted back-to-back three-hit efforts, and through 14 contests in September he's batting .302 (16-for-53) with two doubles, two steals, four RBI and nine runs.

Meidroth went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.

The second baseman did his job at the top of the order, but the rest of the White Sox lineup managed just five hits in total. Meidroth is batting .269 (14-for-52) over 15 games in September with three doubles, two homers, one steal, five RBI and seven runs as he wraps up a solid second big-league campaign.
