Kurtz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Guardians.

Kurtz took a break from his recent stretch of late homers, instead delivering a first-inning blast Friday. He's gone deep five times during his six-game hitting streak, accounting for half of his 10 long balls on the year. The first baseman has added a .252/.307/.526 slash line, 25 RBI and 18 runs scored over his first 150 plate appearances in the majors.

Burger was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates with left side tightness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Burger seemed to grab at his left side after striking out in the seventh inning of Friday's contest, and he was replaced at first base when the Rangers took the field to play defense. The Rangers haven't yet provided details on the severity of his injury, but fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Smith is not in San Francisco's starting lineup against Boston on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Smith will take a seat after going 1-for-10 with one RBI and four strikeouts during the Giants' three-game home series against the Guardians earlier this week. Wilmer Flores will start at first base and bat in the cleanup spot.

Freeman isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

An 0-for-3 performance Thursday broke up Freeman's modest four-game hitting streak, and he'll now grab a seat on the bench while Enrique Hernandez starts at first base during Friday's series opener.

Contreras isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Contreras will get a chance to rest Friday after going 2-for-10 with three walks, five RBI and three runs scored in St. Louis' last series against the White Sox. Alec Burleson will fill the void at first base, opening up right field for Jordan Walker.

Harper (wrist) took 20 swings off a tee Friday, but he remains without a timetable for return, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.

Harper took dry swings Thursday and has progressed to hitting off a tee. While it's unclear how close he is to returning, it's another encouraging step in his recovery from right wrist inflammation.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 7-3 win against the Angels.

Goldschmidt followed Trent Grisham's second-inning long ball with a solo blast of his own to give New York a 4-2 lead. The veteran first baseman entered the day in a mini-slump, going 0-for-10 over his previous three games. In fact, Goldschmidt has struggled for most of June -- he's batting .180 with just four RBI and two homers through 17 games this month while posting a 28.8 percent strikeout rate. Goldschmidt is still batting .303 on the campaign, however.

The Mariners designated Tellez for assignment Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

The Mariners needed to free up a spot on the active roster for the return of Luke Raley (oblique), and Tellez is the casualty. Tellez has slugged 11 home runs this season, but he's sporting just a .208/.249/.434 batting line and 49:8 K:BB over 62 contests. The 30-year-old is likely to clear waivers and eventually become a free agent.

Olson went 2-for-3 with two walks, two doubles, two runs scored and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Mets.

The first baseman continues to swing a hot bat in June. Olson has hit safely in 10 straight games, slashing .378/.467/.676 over that stretch with five doubles, two homers, seven runs and 14 RBI to go along with a rock-solid 7:7 BB:K.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-5 win over Toronto.

Naylor singled in the second inning and scored Arizona's first run when Eugenio Suarez homered one batter later. The single extended Naylor' hit streak to nine games, a stretch in which he's gone 16-for-36 (.444) with five extra-base hits, 10 RBI and nine runs scored. He later walked in the sixth, stole a base and scored on a sacrifice fly. The steal was his 10th in 72 contests, matching the career high he established in 2023 across 121 games while a member of the Guardians.
