Gonzalez went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Twins.

Gonzalez got the start at first base Saturday and belted three singles while batting in the sixth spot in the lineup. He's expected to see the bulk of starts at first base in the short term after Triston Casas ruptured his left patellar tendon in Friday's game, with Abraham Toro providing depth at the position. How Gonzalez plays over the coming days and weeks will play a factor in how the Red Sox address the position, either internally through the farm system or externally via trade, per Ian Browne of MLB.com.

The Orioles recalled Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Mayo will likely receive regular reps at the hot corner while Jordan Westburg and Ramon Urias are both on the injured list due to hamstring injuries. Mayo, 23, struggled upon reaching the majors last season, going just 4-for-41 with 22 strikeouts, but he's since bounced back in Triple-A by posting a .869 OPS through 127 plate appearances this year.

Tellez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

Tellez will take a seat on the bench Saturday with the left-handed Patrick Corbin due to start on the bump for Texas. Donovan Solano will fill in as Seattle's first baseman and bat sixth.

The Orioles plan to recall Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

One of the top prospects in the Orioles' farm system, Mayo is now due for his third career stint with the big-league club after slashing .252/.346/.523 across 127 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. He'll provide the O's with insurance at third base with Jordan Westburg (hamstring) and Ramon Urias (hamstring) both nursing injuries.

The Red Sox placed Casas on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a ruptured left patellar tendon.

Although Casas is only on the 10-day IL for now, his diagnosis almost certainly rules him out for the remainder of the 2025 season. Abraham Toro was selected from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move to give Boston infield depth, though Romy Gonzalez will likely receive the bulk of the starts at first.

Aranda isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

The Yankees will send lefty Ryan Yarbrough to the mound to begin Saturday's contest, so Aranda will grab a seat on the bench while Curtis Mead starts at first base and bats fifth.

Gonzalez entered for an injured Triston Casas (knee) and went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over Minnesota.

Casas sustained what Red Sox manager Alex Cora described as a "significant knee injury," per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. The Red Sox have limited organizational depth at first base, so it looks like Gonzalez, who was a platoon partner at the position with Casas, will be the immediate replacement. The situation will be worth monitoring over the next few days to determine how Cora and the organization plan to address this positional need. Gonzalez is batting .279/.340/.419 with six doubles, two steals, five RBI and nine runs scored over 43 at-bats.

Crim started at first base, batted eighth and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 13-1 loss to Seattle.

Crim made his MLB debut after having his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock. After Texas optioned Jake Burger to the minors, there's an opportunity for someone to grab the first base job. Crim will be part of the mix. The 27-year-old has played 308 games at Round Rock since 2022 and is well past the point of being considered a prospect.

Santana went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Friday's 5-3 loss to Toronto.

Santana put the Guardians on the board in the second inning on a solo home run off Chris Bassitt, and the former tied things up at 3-3 in the eighth after his single to right field brought Daniel Schneemann home. Santana is up to three home runs on the season, though his last one before Friday was April 9 against the White Sox. He's slashing .229/.306/.330 with two stolen bases, 13 runs scored and nine RBI in 124 plate appearances this season.

Tellez went 3-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 13-1 win over the Rangers.

Since a three-game stretch with three homers and seven RBI from April 18-20 in Toronto, Tellez had gone just 2-for-12 across his last eight games. The first baseman broke out of that funk with a trio of singles Friday, making him one of six Mariners to log multiple hits in this blowout win. He's batting .194 with a .680 OPS, four homers, 13 RBI, nine runs scored and no stolen bases over 69 plate appearances this season. Tellez is in a strong-side platoon role at first base, though Donovan Solano has poached a few at-bats versus righties.
