Montes was removed from Friday's game against the Athletics in the fifth inning with an apparent injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Montes, playing in just his third MLB game, crashed hard into the outfield wall while trying to make a play on a Zack Gelof triple in the top of the fifth. While Montes got up and was walking around afterward, he was replaced in right field by Taylor Ward in between innings.

Manager Stephen Vogt said after Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers that DeLauter (wrist) is considered day-to-day, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

DeLauter was diagnosed with a right wrist sprain after leaving the second game of Friday's twin bill. However, when Vogt was asked if it's an IL situation for DeLauter, the skipper said, "We don't think so. We're very much day-to-day right now." The Guardians will wait and see how DeLauter feels Saturday before determining his availability for the rest of the series.

Grisham was removed from Friday's game against the Padres with right hamstring discomfort, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Phillips notes that it's the same hamstring that sent Grisham to the injured list earlier this season, though the outfielder has said that he's been healthy since coming back in July. Regardless, Grisham has been in a bad way at the dish, as he entered Friday with just four hits in his last 44 at-bats.

Grisham was removed from Friday's game against the Padres with an apparent injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

While it wasn't obvious what was hurting Grisham, he was seen going down into the clubhouse with a trainer. Grisham drew a walk and was caught stealing in the top of the second inning. Heliot Ramos replaced Grisham in the third.

DeLauter was removed from the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers with a right wrist sprain, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

DeLauter made one trip to the IL earlier this season with a rib injury and recently missed time with hamstring tightness. The extent of his latest issue isn't entirely clear, though the initial diagnosis is a bit ominous this late in the season. Travis Bazzana replaced DeLauter at designated hitter in the nightcap.

Martinez was removed from the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers with a left shoulder bruise, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Martinez was involved in a collision with teammate Brayan Rocchio in the top of the fourth inning, leading to Martinez's exit. However, the Guardians are labeling his removal as precautionary, so it would seem Martinez escaped with a relatively minor injury.

Judge (ribs) won't face live pitching before the Yankees return home next week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Judge took batting practice on the field Friday and appears on track to return during the team's upcoming homestand, which runs from Sept. 8-13. However, Hoch suggests a return for the very start of that homestand is unlikely with Judge still yet to check the final box in his recovery program. Instead, Hoch is "unofficially circling" Sept. 11 as the likely target date for Judge's return.

Martinez was removed from the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers after colliding with teammate Brayan Rocchio in shallow left field in the top of the fourth inning, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Rocchio made the catch and both players were able to walk off under their own power, but Martinez was lifted before the top of the fifth. Nathaniel Lowe replaced Martinez in the game, pushing David Fry from first base out to left field.

Judge (ribs) took batting practice on the field prior to Friday's game against the Padres, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The three-time MVP has cleared another hurdle on his road to recovery from a stress fracture in his rib that has sidelined him since the end of May. Manager Aaron Boone recently suggested Judge could be back at some point during the Yankees' homestand next week.

Greene is absent from Detroit's lineup for the second game of Friday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

After being reinstated from the injured list Tuesday, Greene will rest for the second half of Friday's doubleheader. The 25-year-old went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the matinee. Ben Malgeri will man left field and bat seventh for the Tigers.
