Schanuel went 3-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Athletics.

Schanuel delivered the walk-off hit in the 10th inning to secure his three-hit game. The first baseman has four multi-hit efforts and five RBI, as well as two steals, over his last six games. He's up to a .284/.382/.391 slash line with three home runs, 21 RBI, 34 runs scored and three steals through 64 contests. As long as Schanuel avoids a prolonged slump, he shouldn't be too threatened by the Angels' recent acquisition of LaMonte Wade, who figures to serve as a reserve option at first base, designated hitter and the corner outfield spots.

Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Orioles.

Torkelson's 16th home run of the season in the fifth inning with a runner on ended up being the difference in the game. The slugging infielder only hit 10 long balls during the 2024 regular season after cracking a career-best 31 home runs back in 2023. Torkelson may never hit for a great average, though he could approach 40 homers if he maintains his current pace and stays healthy.

Guerrero is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.

It's a rare day off for Guerrero, whose only other breather this season came back on April 10. The Blue Jays will go with Ernie Clement at first base Tuesday as Guerrero receives some well-deserved rest.

Toro started as first base and went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-8 extra-innings loss to the Rays.

There was much turmoil caused by Rafael Devers' refusal to play first base and Boston's scrapped experiment with Kristian Campbell to move there, but Toro may have been the answer all along. He's reached base safely in 10 consecutive games, going 17-for-40 (.425) with five doubles, one home run and seven RBI during the streak. Toro is slashing .333/.352/.563 over 25 games for Boston, but it's fair to question if he can sustain that over the long haul.

Schanuel went 2-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 7-4 win over the Athletics.

Schanuel has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 8-for-24 (.333) with four doubles and six RBI in that span. The steal was just his second of the season, as the first baseman typically doesn't add much speed or power despite steady contact skills. For the year, he's up to a .276/.374/.385 slash line with three home runs, 20 RBI, 34 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple over 63 contests.

Wade will report to the Angels in the coming days, perhaps as soon as Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Wade was acquired via trade from the Giants over the weekend and is not eligible to be sent to the minors without being exposed to waivers, so he will go directly onto the big-league roster. It's not clear how much playing time Wade will receive initially, as his primary position, first base, is held down by Nolan Schanuel. Wade has experience in the outfield and could see some action in either left or right.

The Athletics optioned Davidson to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Davidson went 3-for-20 with 12 strikeouts during his brief time with the big club. He's making room on the roster for the return of Nick Kurtz (groin) from the 10-day injured list.

The Athletics activated Kurtz (hip) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Kurtz has been sidelined since late May with a strained left hip flexor but is ready to roll after homering in his lone rehab game. The rookie first baseman has collected a .762 OPS with five long balls over 28 contests with the Athletics this season.

The Red Sox designated Noda for assignment Monday.

The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Roman Anthony. Noda was acquired from the Angels via trade in late May and has slashed .378/.519/.703 with three homers and a 12:12 K:BB in 13 games with Triple-A Worcester. There could be some interest in Noda on waivers.

Kurtz (hip) went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in a rehab game with Single-A Stockton on Saturday.

Kurtz showed off his well-known power with a two-run home run that landed on the right-field porch. The 22-year-old is expected to be activated from the Athletics' 10-day injured list Monday, assuming he came out of Saturday's rehab game without any setbacks with his left hip. Before being shelved May 27, the first baseman slashed .245/.315/.447 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 28 games with the big club.
