Duran started in right field and went 3-for-5 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Astros.

Duran filled in for the injured Adolis Garcia (quadriceps) in right field. Since Garcia sustained the injury earlier this week, the Rangers have used Alejandro Osuna in right field against right-handers and Duran against a lefty. Duran's moved around the diamond for injured teammates the last few weeks; he's started games at first base, second base, shortstop and now right field.

Burger went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Friday in a 4-3 extra-innings win over the Astros.

The homer was Burger's 13th of the year to extend his hitting streak to five games. The infielder had a .658 OPS as of June 20, though he's performed far better at the plate since then as he tries to salvage a disappointing season. Since the start of July, Burger is batting .324 with six extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored over his last 71 plate appearances to increase his OPS to .703 for the campaign.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus Atlanta.

With lefty Chris Sale on the mound for Atlanta, Naylor is getting the night off from the starting lineup. Naylor has been scuffling at the plate over the past month, slashing just .247/.281/.400 in that span. Luke Raley is starting at first base and batting ninth.

The White Sox optioned Elko to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Elko's latest stint in the majors lasted a week, but he received just one start and five plate appearances during that time, going hitless. He's posted a .523 OPS with a 41.7 percent strikeout rate across 23 games with Chicago this season.

Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

Pasquantino had cooled off after a stretch of nine homers in 14 games from Aug. 10-24. Entering Thursday, he had failed to log an extra-base hit while going 3-for-27 (.111) over his previous eight games. The first baseman has had a breakout year in terms of power with 29 homers over 138 games, and he's added a .258/.320/.467 slash line, 96 RBI, 58 runs scored, 22 doubles, one triple and one stolen base while occupying a starting role.

Schanuel (wrist) is planning to take batting practice Friday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Schanuel is still feeling soreness in his hand area, delaying his anticipated return from the injured list. There's no clear timeline for him to be activated, but he's eligible to be reinstated at any time since he's already spent the 10-day minimum on the shelf.

The Angels optioned Kavadas to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

He's clearing out to make room on the roster for waiver claim Logan Davidson. Kavadas hadn't been playing much and has gone just 2-for-20 with 10 strikeouts with the big club this season.

The Angels recalled Davidson from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Davidson was claimed off waivers from the Astros on Wednesday and will report to the major-league club. The 27-year-old has spent the bulk of this season at the Triple-A level, slashing .250/.385/.395 with 10 homers and seven steals. Davidson can play all over the diamond, but his best chance at immediate playing time is at first base, where Nolan Schanuel (wrist) remains shelved.

Gonzalez started at first base and went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Guardians.

Gonzalez, who was in the starting lineup for a seventh consecutive game, got the call at first base against Cleveland left-hander Joey Cantillo. He eventually moved to second base, where he may get more chances going forward due to the domino effect of Roman Anthony's oblique injury. With the Red Sox all of sudden down a couple of outfielders -- Wilyer Abreu (calf) is the other -- Ceddanne Rafaela is needed in center field, opening up second base for Gonzalez and others.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-9 win over Cincinnati.

Guerrero put the Jays ahead 6-5 in the fifth inning with a 398-foot blast off Nick Martinez, his 22nd homer of the year and first in 12 games. Guerrero's been heating up at the plate, going 7-for-16 (.438) with no strikeouts in his last four games following a 1-for-22 stretch over his previous eight contests. Overall, the first baseman is slashing .293/.389/.486 with 77 RBI and 89 runs scored across 588 plate appearances this season.
