Langford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

Langford put the Rangers on top early with a first-inning home run. It was his third long ball in the last five games and fourth in 11 contests since he returned from the injured list July 9. Langford's up to 12 homers, 28 RBI, 32 runs scored and seven steals through 51 games in 2026.

Martinez started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 11-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

Martinez was activated from the injured list Friday and played his first MLB game since June 13. He missed six weeks due to a fractured left foot.

Antonacci went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Astros.

Antonacci got the White Sox's offense rolling early, singling in his first at-bat before stealing second base and coming around to score. That marked his third stolen base in July and 14th of the season. Antonacci continues to excel in the leadoff spot for Chicago, as he has 10 runs scored, eight RBI and three home runs across his last 17 games.

Outman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Outman will move to the bench for a second straight game after starting five of Detroit's first seven games after the All-Star break. Riley Greene, Matt Vierling and Zach McKinstry will patrol the outfield while Outman rests.

Caglianone (shoulder) will start in right field and bat third Saturday against Detroit.

Caglianone missed out on the starting lineup in each of Kansas City's last three games due to a sore right shoulder, though he was able to enter Friday's game off the bench. Now that the issue appears to have subsided, he'll return to the starting nine and look to remain hot after having accumulated a 10-game hitting streak earlier this month.

Mullins went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple, two runs scored and a strikeout during Tampa Bay's 11-3 win over Cleveland on Friday.

Mullins hit his second triple of the season in his second at-bat and came around to score on Jonny DeLuca's RBI single in the fourth inning. In the eighth, the 31-year-old tallied his sixth double of the campaign and crossed home plate after Richie Palacios blasted a three-run homer. On the year, Mullins has slashed .204/.284/.355 with 12 homers, 31 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 347 plate appearances.

DeLuca went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, three runs scored and two strikeouts during Tampa Bay's 11-3 win over Cleveland on Friday.

DeLuca scored his first run on Ryan Vilade's two-run homer in the second inning. The 28-year-old later drove in Cedric Mullins in the fourth to extend Tampa Bay's early lead and scored two more times after that. On the season, DeLuca has batted .267/.303/.440 with six homers, 32 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 203 plate appearances.

Vilade went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer, a walk, a run scored and a strikeout during the Rays' 11-3 win over the Guardians on Friday.

Vilade started the scoring off for Tampa Bay in the second inning by blasting a two-run homer that scored Jonny DeLuca. The 27-year-old has now recorded at least one hit in four of his last five games, belting two home runs in that span. On the season, Vilade has slashed .260/.325/.480 with eight homers and 33 RBI in 170 plate appearances. Vilade's night was cut short after being replaced by Richie Palacios at second base in the seventh.

Lowe is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Giants on Friday.

Despite right-hander Logan Webb taking the mound for the Giants on Friday, the lefty-hitting Lowe will be on the bench for the start of the game while Wade Meckler, Mike Trout and Jo Adell man the outfield from left to right. Lowe has gone 7-for-41 (.171) with one steal, two home runs and four RBI across 13 games in July.

The Guardians optioned Schneemann to Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Schneemann had been with the Guardians all season, but he's slashed just .155/.222/.213 since May 1. His roster spot will be filled by Angel Martinez (foot), who is back from the injured list.
