The Tigers transferred Perez (orbital) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

With the team claiming Yilber Diaz off waivers from the Diamondbacks, Detroit needed to open a spot on the 40-man roster. Perez will miss a couple months at minimum after he sustained a left orbital fracture in pregame warmups June 16.

Meyers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

Riding the bench for a fourth straight game, Meyers appears to have lost his grip on a regular role in the Houston outfield after putting together dismal .203/.261/.317 slash line over 134 plate appearances on the season. Since Meyers was last included in the lineup Monday, Taylor Trammell and Brice Matthews have picked up two starts apiece in center field.

Frelick is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Cubs.

It's right-hander Colin Rea on the bump for the Cubs, but the left-handed-hitting Frelick will nonetheless begin the series opener on the bench. Jake Bauers is occupying right field for the Brewers, and Andrew Vaughn is in the lineup at first base.

The Guardians designated Fairchild for assignment Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Cleveland needed the spot on the 40-man roster for prospect Cooper Ingle, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move. Fairchild took 27 plate appearances with the Guardians, but he struck out 14 times and recorded just three singles and seven walks.

Freeman is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Minnesota.

After starting each of the previous four contests in right field, Freeman will take a seat for Friday's series opener versus the Twins. The Rockies will go with Mickey Moniak, Cole Carrigg and Jake McCarthy in the outfield and Troy Johnston at designated hitter.

Bericoto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 9-6 loss to the Athletics.

Bericoto went yard to center field in the sixth inning, giving the Giants a 6-2 lead before the bullpen melted down. The 24-year-old outfielder has started back-to-back outings, homering in both contests. He's slashing .231/.231/.577 with four RBI and three long balls across 26 plate appearances this season.

The Mets activated Taylor (hip) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Taylor missed the last month of action while battling a hip flexor strain, but he's ready to roll after going 7-for-15 with a pair of home runs over four rehab games. The right-handed hitter will likely see most of his playing time versus southpaws as a short-side platoon partner for rookies A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge in the outfield.

Marsh went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, one walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Nationals.

Marsh's power surge continued Thursday, as he's now launched three homers in his past four games while collecting six RBI during that span. The Phillies have lacked consistency in the heart of their lineup in 2026, whether it be from Alec Bohm, J.T. Realmuto or Adolis Garcia (lat) before he got injured, but Marsh is coming through with a career season. Through 297 plate appearances, the 28-year-old outfielder is batting .324 with 12 big flies, 14 doubles, 41 RBI and eight stolen bases.

Butler went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Thursday's 9-6 win over the Giants.

Butler came through in the clutch, depositing an RBI single into right field with two outs in the ninth inning to give the Athletics the lead. The 25-year-old has struggled to a .197 batting average and .585 OPS across 73 games this season, but he has shown signs of turning things around of late. Across 20 appearances in June, Butler is slashing .288/.327/.481 with two homers, four doubles, seven RBI, 11 runs and two stolen bases, though he's striking out at a 29.1 percent clip this month.

Crews went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.

The 24-year-old may finally be showing signs of living up to his draft billing after being the second overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. Crews has four multi-hit performances in the last six games, batting .400 (10-for-25) over that surge with two doubles, a homer, a steal, three RBI and eight runs. Crews also has a 0:7 BB:K during that stretch, and a 2:28 BB:K in 128 MLB plate appearances this season as plate discipline remains his biggest hurdle.
