Abreu went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Friday against the Tigers.

Abreu supplied the only offense for the White Sox with a two-RBI double in the eighth inning. He has been particularly productive across his last five games, driving in six while collecting seven hits across 18 at-bats. Abreu's power production has fallen considerably this season, but he's still managed to maintain a .369 wOBA and 143 wRC+ across 620 plate appearances.

Rizzo (head) participated in live batting practice Friday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Rizzo "looked good" according to Scott Effross, who threw against Rizzo as part of his own rehab from a shoulder injury. The Yankees are hoping to activate Rizzo on Sunday ahead of their final game in Milwaukee.

Pratto is not in Friday's lineup against the Red Sox.

Pratto is hitting .103 with a 40 percent strikeout rate in 11 games this month, and things have gotten so bad that he's out of Friday's lineup even against a right-hander in Michael Wacha. Vinnie Pasquantino is starting at first base, while MJ Melendez is the designated hitter.

Aranda is not in Friday's lineup against the Rangers.

Aranda's strong hit tool has translated well so far to the majors, but his defensive shortcomings have also been apparent. He is slashing .316/.409/.579 with one home run, five strikeouts and three walks in 22 plate appearances this month. Taylor Walls is starting at second base while Christian Bethancourt starts at first base.

Vaughn went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Thursday against the Guardians.

Vaughn went back-to-back with Gavin Sheets in the second inning to tally his 16th homer of the season. He's now surpassed his home run total from 2021, though it took an extra 29 plate appearances for him to do so. Vaughn also has at least one hit in seven of his last eight starts, maintaining a .379 average with six RBI and three runs scored in that span. For the season, he has maintained a .290/.340/.460 line across 500 plate appearances.

Abreu went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Thursday against the Guardians.

Abreu didn't join the White Sox home run barrage Thursday, but he still had a productive effort -- highlighted by RBI singles in the fifth and ninth innings. He now has at least one hit in 16 of 18 starts since Aug. 27, during which time he's maintained a .347 average with 10 RBI and 11 runs scored. Abreu has shown no signs of slowing down overall, posting a .313/.386/.458 line across 616 plate appearances on the campaign.

Diaz went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Diaz took Kevin Gausman yard in the second inning to start the rout for the Rays. It was Diaz's ninth homer of the season and first in his last 54 at-bats, though he still managed to hit .407 with eight runs scored in that span. For the season, Diaz is hitting .294/.402/.425 across 535 plate appearances.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's victory over the Padres.

Santana launched a three-run shot off Mike Clevinger in the bottom of the fifth inning, giving the Mariners a 6-0 lead. The 36-year-old has now gone deep 15 times this year and three times in his last five games. Santana has gone 5-for-29 with three homers, six RBI and six runs scored over 10 games in September.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Rays.

Guerrero got Toronto on the board early as he hit a solo homer to left field in the first inning. The long ball was the 100th of his career and 28th on the season. It was also his first since Aug. 30, breaking a 63 at-bat homerless drought, his longest of the season. Guerrero is slashing .278/.342/.485 through 142 games this season.

Pratto isn't starting Wednesday against the Twins.

Pratto will get a breather after he went 0-for-9 with a run, an RBI, a walk and six strikeouts over the last three games. Vinnie Pasquantino will start at first base and bat cleanup Wednesday.
