Overn didn't make any appearances for Double-A Montgomery after Aug. 4 due to an unspecified injury.

The 23-year-old outfielder endured an injury-plagued 2026 campaign, hitting the shelf on three different occasions. He was productive when available, however, slashing .309/.395/.565 with 15 home runs and 48 stolen bases across 282 plate appearances for Montgomery.

Cortes is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Rays.

After nine straight starts, Cortes will exit the lineup for Thursday's series finale. Henry Bolte will patrol left field, and Denzel Clarke will cover center field for the Athletics.

The Tigers announced Friday that Carpenter (foot) has ramped up his running and hitting progression with the hope of returning from the injured list before the end of the season, MLB.com reports.

Carpenter has been on the shelf since July 27 due to left foot plantar fascitiis, and despite the 72-80 Tigers facing long odds to secure a postseason spot, the 29-year-old isn't yet willing to close the door on a potential return. If Carpenter does end up making it back before the season ends Sept. 27, he could be limited to more of a part-time role.

Rave went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Houston.

Rave opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the fourth inning. The 28-year-old has seen more action in right field this season, but he patrolled center field in favor of the light-hitting Kyle Isbel on Wednesday. In 131 plate appearances, Rave is slashing .219/.310/.447 with six homers, 13 RBI, 22 runs and seven stolen bases.

Adell went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Adell was a significant contributor for a second straight game, delivering a two-run single in the third inning. This, after he belted a two-run home run during Tuesday's 7-6 win. Adell, playing meaningful September baseball for the first time in his career, has hit safely in five consecutive contests, going 6-for-20 with one double, two home runs and six RBI during the streak.

Halpin started in center field and went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Halpin was in the starting lineup for a second straight day with both Chase DeLauter (wrist) and Angel Martinez (side) unavailable and became an unlikely difference-maker in the win. The left-handed batter, who had gone deep just three times through 73 games, went into his home run trot after belting a three-run shot in the sixth inning to give Cleveland a 5-3 lead. Halpin's contributions enabled the Guardians to win the series and take over first place in the AL Central, a half game ahead of the White Sox.

Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Angels.

Rodriguez has gotten on track by hitting safely in seven of his last eight games, adding five RBI and two steals in that span. The outfielder is up to 22-for-25 on the basepaths this season. Rodriguez is batting .243 with a .701 OPS, 21 home runs, 24 doubles, 66 RBI and 68 runs scored in 142 contests on the year.

Bolte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Rays.

Bolte and Tommy White both took Nick Martinez deep in the third inning for solo home runs to reduce the Athletics' deficit to 4-2. Bolte is up to 11 home runs this season, five of which have come in September. He has gone 16-for-52 (.308) with six steals, eight RBI, six extra-base hits and 13 runs scored this month.

Simpson went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a steal during the Rays' 4-3 win over the Athletics on Wednesday.

Simpson was one of three Rays batters to smack an RBI double off Brady Basso, and the former showed off his speed with a steal in the third inning of Wednesday's win. Simpson has logged 40-plus steals in back-to-back seasons, and his 42 swiped bags in 2026 are second most in the majors behind Nasim Nunez (46). Simpson's .310 batting average also ranks second behind Luis Arraez (.316), and the former is fifth in the majors in hits (167) across 580 plate appearances.

Bellinger went 3-for-5 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Twins.

The veteran outfielder did what he could to set the table for the rest of the Yankees' lineup out of the two-hole, but offense got tough to find after Aaron Judge (lower leg) left the game in the sixth inning. Bellinger has banged out multiple hits in five of his last seven games as he wraps up the regular season on a heater, and through 14 contests in September he's batting .390 (23-for-59) with three doubles, four homers, two steals, 12 RBI and 14 runs.
