Mountcastle went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 4-2 win over the Yankees.

Mountcastle got the scoring started with a solo shot in the second inning before adding a sacrifice fly in the sixth. While the 28-year-old has hit safely in five of his past six contests, he's gone just 9-for-43 with two extra-base hits in September. For the year, he's slashing .256/.292/.372 with six home runs, 33 RBI, 32 runs scored and three steals across 336 plate appearances.

Burleson went 3-for-4 with a double, a hit-by-pitch and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Brewers.

This was Burleson's third straight multi-hit effort, and he's logged two homers, one triple and four doubles over 10 games since returning from a wrist injury. The 26-year-old is up to a career-high 25 doubles this season while adding 18 homers, 66 RBI, 53 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .289/.342/.466 slash line through 132 contests. Burleson continues to occupy a starting role at first base.

Pasquantino went 4-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 20-1 rout of the Blue Jays.

The Royals' first baseman collected his 29th and 30th two-baggers of the season and posted the third four-hit performance of his career. Pasquantino didn't even need to play all nine frames to accomplish the feat, as he was lifted in the seventh for Randal Grichuk when Kansas City was up 10-1. The 27-year-old Pasquantino is enjoying the best season of his four-year career, producing a .269/.326/.476 slash line with 30 homers, 106 RBI and 67 runs scored across 645 total plate appearances.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-0 win over Houston.

The big fly was the fourth of the month for Naylor, who in the process achieved the first 20-homer, 20-steal campaign of his career. Remarkably, the first baseman has recorded 16 pilfers in just 48 games since joining the Mariners. For the season, Naylor has been a five-category fantasy stud with a .289 batting average, 20 round trippers, 87 RBI, 78 runs scored and 27 thefts through 141 contests.

The Angels optioned Davidson to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Davidson will head down to Triple-A to make room for Nolan Schanuel (wrist) to be activated from the injured list. Since being called up Sept. 4, Davidson has gone 4-for-22 (.182) with a home run and 10 strikeouts.

The Angels reinstated Schanuel (wrist) from the 10-day injured list, and he'll bat leadoff and play first base Friday against Colorado, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Schanuel will return from a three-plus-week absence due to a bruised left wrist. The 23-year-old appeared in a pair of minor-league games during a rehab stint, going 4-for-8 with a double and three runs scored. Schanuel's return means fewer opportunities for Oswald Peraza and Logan Davidson.

Busch is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

Busch will dodge a same-hand matchup with Nick Lodolo as Carlos Santana bats seventh and plays first base. Busch is 9-for-30 (.300) with three home runs in his last eight games.

Stewart is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

Stewart had started each of the previous six contests but will get a breather Friday after going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Thursday's game versus the Cubs. Spencer Steer is handling first base and Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) has returned to the lineup at third base.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Guardians.

Torkelson was the only Detroit player with multiple hits in the contest and he scored the team's lone run. The first baseman has been in a nice groove lately, as he's batting .375 over his last eight games. Overall, Torkelson is slashing .242/.335/.460, and he's mashed 29 home runs to go along with 74 RBI and 80 runs scored in what's been a bounceback campaign after a down 2024.

Lowe went 1-for-3 in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Atheltics.

Lowe has hit the skids after a productive start to his Red Sox tenure. He sported a .974 OPS with two home runs and eight RBI over his first 12 games in a Boston uniform, but Lowe has languished since then with a .576 OPS and just two RBI in the subsequent 13 contests.
