Manager Aaron Boone said after Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Minnesota that Goldschmidt was unavailable off the bench due to a right knee injury, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

The Yankees are still in the process of evaluating Goldschmidt's injury, but the Yankees believe that the veteran first baseman is dealing with a low-grade sprain, per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic. Boone suggested that a stint on the injured list could be in the offing for Goldschmidt, which would likely result in Ben Rice settling in as New York's everyday first baseman and Austin Wells regaining the primary catcher role.

Mountcastle went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.

Mountcastle tied the game with a 394-foot leadoff blast in the seventh inning and recorded his first multi-hit effort since returning from the injured list Friday. Since being reinstated, he's gone 4-for-17 with two homers and a 2:5 BB:K while starting in five consecutive games. On the season, the 28-year-old is slashing .245/.283/.368 with four homers, 17 RBI, 21 runs scored, and one stolen base across 219 plate appearances.

Pasquantino went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 8-7 loss to the Nationals.

The first baseman did his best to get the Royals back into the game after they fell behind 5-0 in the top of the first inning, driving in Kansas City's first run with a groundout in the bottom of the first and then adding a three-run shot off Jake Irvin in the fourth. Pasquantino has three homers and 11 RBI in the last four games, and over 19 contests since his last day off July 22, he's batting .240 (18-for-75) with seven of his 22 long balls on the season, plus 23 of his 80 RBI.

Kurtz is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Rays on Wednesday.

Kurtz will begin Wednesday's game on the bench after starting in the Athletics' last 14 games, with Tyler Soderstrom shifting over to first base and batting in the cleanup spot. Over that 14-game span, Kurtz has gone 13-for-50 (.260) with 10 runs, two doubles and three RBI.

Toro is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Houston.

After starting at first base in each of the first two games of the series, Toro will begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench. Romy Gonzalez is handling first base and batting sixth for the Red Sox.

Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins.

Goldschmidt had started both of the first two games of the series, but his playing time versus right-handers has been trending down in the second half. The Yankees will turn to Ben Rice at first base and Austin Wells at catcher in the series finale against Minnesota.

Santana is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Marlins.

It's the third time in the last four games Santana has been out of the lineup and the sixth time across the last 10 tilts versus right-handed pitching that the 39-year-old has sat out. C.J. Kayfus is handling first base for the Guardians on Wednesday.

Tellez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Diamondbacks.

The left-handed-hitting Tellez has been the preferred option at first base against righty hurlers since the right-handed-hitting Jake Burger returned from the injured list last week. However, it will be Burger at first base and batting sixth versus Diamondbacks righty Zac Gallen on Wednesday.

The White Sox plan to give Mead regular playing time at third base down the stretch, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Mead handled first base in his first six starts for the White Sox, but Miguel Vargas returned from the injured list Tuesday and is slated to play that position moving forward. That leaves the hot corner for Mead, although the White Sox will have more juggling to do with their infield once Chase Meidroth (thumb) is back. Mead is 7-for-27 with five RBI in his first eight games since arriving in Chicago.

Pasquantino went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Pasquantino paced the offense with a three-run blast in the third and added on with an RBI double in the seventh. He posted his second five-RBI game of the season. Prior to Tuesday's big performance, Pasquantino was just 6-for-41 through 10 games in August. Despite that, he's been productive for a second straight year and is pacing for 25-plus home runs after hitting his 21st on Tuesday.
