The Rays placed DeLuca on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Aug. 7, due to a left hamstring strain, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

DeLuca left Wednesday's game against the Angels with tightness in his left hamstring, and further testing revealed he's dealing with a strain. Tristan Peters was recalled from Triple-A Durham and Connor Seabold was designated for assignment in corresponding moves.

Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Slater (hamstring) will miss 4-to-6 weeks, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Slater suffered a strained hamstring Monday against the Rangers and was put on the injured list Tuesday. It's now known he'll miss at least one month due to the injury. The trade deadline acquisition had played in just three games for New York, going 0-for-7 with four strikeouts.

The Rangers optioned Osuna to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Osuna will yield his spot on the active roster to Jake Burger (quad), who's been activated from the 10-day injured list. Osuna will head back to Round Rock after going 1-for-9 during his latest stint in the big leagues.

The Orioles recalled Adams from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Baltimore placed Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) on the injured list Friday, opening up an opportunity for Adams to see some big-league action. The 25-year-old is slashing .185/.283/.282 in 229 plate appearances this season at Norfolk.

The Orioles placed Cowser on the 7-day concussion injured list Friday, retroactive to Aug. 7, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Cowser will be sidelined for at least a week after sustaining a concussion. Fellow outfielder Tyler O'Neill (wrist) was also placed on the injured list Friday, leaving the Orioles' outfield thin. Jordyn Adams was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Per Kubatko, the concussion is considered mild and Cowser could be back after the minimum seven days.

The Orioles placed O'Neill on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Aug. 6, due to right wrist inflammation, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

O'Neill jammed his wrist against the outfield wall Tuesday, and while his X-rays returned negative, the Orioles will give him an extended period of rest. Jordyn Adams was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk as part of a series of moves Friday. Look for Adams, Jeremiah Jackson and Greg Allen to see most of the work in right field while O'Neill is idle.

The Orioles signed Allen to a major-league contract Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Allen was released by the Cubs earlier in August, but he'll get a fresh start and a chance to see his first MLB action since 2023. The 32-year-old switch hitter slashed .271/.358/.438 with six homers and 12 steals in 234 plate appearances with Triple-A Iowa this season. He'll likely serve as a depth piece rather than a starting lineup regular.

Hawke was transferred from High-A Lake County's 7-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Friday with a sprained right shoulder, SI.com reports.

Hawke has been on the shelf since July 12, and the move will keep him sidelined until at least Sept. 10. The 22-year-old was promoted to High-A in late June, and he went 5-for-18 (.278) with three runs scored and two stolen bases before sustaining the injury.

Canha (elbow) is expected to start a rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

Canha will start up a rehab assignment exactly one month after being placed on the injured list with left elbow epicondylitis, or tennis elbow. It's unclear how long of an assignment Canha will require, but he should be back later this month.

Thomas went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Nationals.

Thomas opened the scoring in the second inning with his first major-league homer, a 406-foot shot off Mitchell Parker that put the A's ahead 2-0. The 24-year-old Thomas had been struggling early in his big-league career, going just 4-for-31 (.129) in 15 games prior to Thursday. However, he did demonstrate some power in the minors, logging 18 homers in 82 games with Triple-A Las Vegas this year. Thomas figures to see regular at-bats against left-handed pitching while Denzel Clarke (hip) remains on the IL.
