Carroll (back) is in Arizona's lineup for Friday's matchup against the Rangers.

Carroll will return to the lineup Friday after missing the past two games with low back discomfort. The 26-year-old will man right field and bat fifth for the Diamondbacks.

Valdez was removed from Friday's contest against the Cubs with left hamstring discomfort, Aiden Stepansky of MLB.com reports.

Valdez grounded out to shortstop in the top of the sixth inning and almost immediately came up limping after exiting the batter's box. The Pirates could have more information on his status after the game, but it's an injury that could end the rookie's season. Valdez was 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in the game before exiting.

Peters is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

As St. Louis sends out southpaw Matthew Liberatore, the left-handed-hitting Peters will ride the pine for Friday's series opener. Brenton Doyle will take over in center field and bat sixth for the White Sox.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that Perez (orbital) is "most likely" done for the season, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Perez suffered an orbital fracture and blurred vision back in June when he was struck in the face by an exercise band. He had to be pulled off a rehab assignment in August because his vision still wasn't back to normal, and it seems Perez will run out of time to return before the curtains close on the regular season.

Boston placed White on the 10-day injured list with a right foot ligament injury Friday, retroactive to Sept. 9.

White had produced at least one base hit in seven of his last eight games before being sidelined Friday. The 32-year-old had been taking over in center field for Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps), becoming an everyday player. In 60 plate appearances since joining Boston, White is slashing .276/.300/.379 with one homer and 12 RBI. The Red Sox recalled Anthony Seigler from Triple-A Worcester to replace White on the active roster.

Lile is out of the lineup for Washington's matchup with the Angels on Friday.

With the Angels trotting out left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, Lile will ride the bench for Friday's series opener. The 23-year-old is currently in an 0-for-11 skid and has not reached base safely in his last three games. Dylan Crews will move over to left field and bat fifth for Washington.

Caglianone (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Boston.

It will be the fifth straight game Caglianone has missed as he deals with a left flexor strain. The Royals have considered him day-to-day, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return to action. John Rave will get another start in right field Friday.

The Blue Jays selected Martin's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Martin is receiving his first ever promotion to the big leagues after spending 12 years in the minors. The 30-year-old was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays in July, removed from the 40-man roster in August and has now made his way back onto the roster. It's a nice story of perseverance, but Martin isn't likely to play much down the stretch.

Bericoto (knee) went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Triple-A Sacramento's 6-2 loss to Las Vegas on Thursday.

After being placed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 24 with a bone bruise in his right knee, Bericoto returned to game action Wednesday, going 0-for-4. He reached base safely Thursday, hitting a leadoff single in the sixth inning before coming around to score. The 24-year-old had slashed .244/.253/.419 with 12 RBI, seven runs scored, four long balls and a stolen base across 87 big-league plate appearances before landing on the IL.

The Pirates optioned Simon to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Simon had just been recalled Sunday and received only one plate appearance this week. He's clearing off the roster to make room for the return of Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) from the injured list.
