The Red Sox recalled Seigler from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

Seigler will rejoin the big-league club after spending just under two weeks in Worcester. In the majors this season, the 27-year-old has slashed .250/.331/.405 with three home runs and 13 RBI over 171 plate appearances. Boston sent Eli White (foot) to the 10-day IL to make room for Seigler on the roster.

Springer (shoulder) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Friday's contest against the Orioles.

Springer has been slowed this week by a nagging left shoulder issue, but he appeared off the bench in the Blue Jays' last game Wednesday and is back in the lineup for the series opener versus Baltimore.

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.

Sears has joined the Tigers in Detroit and is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Toledo to start Saturday's game against the Rockies, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

With Jack Flaherty (forearm) due back from the injured list next week, Sears may be in line for just one start for Detroit before either heading to the bullpen or reporting back to Triple-A.Sears has made one start and two relief appearances with the Tigers this season, authoring a 4.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 8:3 K;BB over 12.1 innings.

Montero is traveling to his native Venezuela for the birth of his child, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Montero has not yet been placed on the paternity leave list, but that could happen Saturday when Andrew Sears is added to the roster to make a spot start. With Jack Flaherty (forearm) due back next week, Montero could spend the stretch run in the bullpen.

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.

Lee is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rockies.

It looks to be a routine day off for the rookie infielder. Javier Baez will cover second base for the Tigers while Lee rests.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Washington's game against the Angels on Friday.

Despite launching a solo shot during Wednesday's affair with the Padres, Ruiz will sit out the series opener against the Angels. Harry Ford will catch balls and strikes while batting seventh for the Nationals.

Winn (thumb) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the White Sox.

Winn was scratched from the lineup for the Cardinals' last game Wednesday in San Francisco, just one day after he had returned from a left thumb fracture. He may continue to deal with some lingering soreness in the thumb the rest of the way, and the Cardinals plan to evaluate Winn's readiness on a day-to-day basis.

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.
