    Vaughn isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against St. Louis.

    Vaughn lost his six-game hitting streak while failing to get a base knock off the bench Wednesday, but he's still slashing .423/.444/.538 through 27 plate appearances since Sept. 1. He'll rest again Friday while Jake Bauers starts at first base, batting seventh.

    Rockies' Blaine Crim: Set for COL debut

    The Rockies recalled Crim from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Colorado claimed Crim off waivers in early August from Texas, and the first baseman has slashed .273/.360/.424 in 114 plate appearances with Albuquerque since. He'll make his Rockies debut if he gets into a game. Crim is expected to serve as the team's primary first baseman while Warming Bernabel (concussion) is sidelined.

    Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Not in Friday's lineup

    Sogard is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Yankees.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Remains out Friday

    Gonzalez (knee) remains out of the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Yankees.

    Gonzalez didn't play Wednesday against the Athletics due to a sore left knee, and the team off day Thursday wasn't enough to help get him over the hump with his recovery. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Gonzalez will be available off the bench Friday and could be back in the lineup Saturday, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. David Hamilton will play second base and bat seventh for the Red Sox on Friday.

  • Logan Davidson 1B | LAA

    Angels' Logan Davidson: Pops first homer

    Davidson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-6, extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

    This was Davidson's first multi-hit effort as an Angel. He's gone 3-for-11 with three strikeouts over six games since he was claimed off waivers from the Astros. Davidson is filling a part-time role to help cover the absence of Nolan Schanuel (wrist) at first base -- Oswald Peraza has also gotten time at the position. The switch-hitting Davidson has one homer, three RBI, three runs scored and no stolen bases over 15 big-league games between the Angels and Athletics this season.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Naylor: Two steals in Thursday's win

    Naylor went 0-for-5 with two stolen bases and one run scored in Thursday's 7-6, extra-innings win over the Angels.

    Naylor swiped a bag after reaching on catcher's interference in the 10th inning, and his second steal came as the designated runner in the 12th before coming around to score the tying run in that frame. The first baseman continues to pick his moments on the basepaths with five steals over his last 11 contests. Overall, he's up to 27 thefts on 29 attempts while adding 19 home runs, 80 RBI, 74 runs scored and a .283/.344/.451 slash line over 134 games between Seattle and Arizona this season.

  • Luis Arraez 1B | SD

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Productive in Thursday's win

    Arraez went 3-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Rockies.

    Arraez had gone just 1-for-13 at the plate since his last three-hit effort Saturday. The infielder drove in the Padres' opening run in the third inning and picked up his second steal in six games. On the year, Arraez is up to a .285/.320/.387 slash line with seven home runs, 55 RBI, 58 runs scored and 11 steals across 141 contests.

    Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Drives in three runs Thursday

    Wagaman went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored during the Marlins' 5-0 win over the Nationals on Thursday.

    Thursday marked Wagaman's 12th multi-RBI game of the season and the third time that he has driven in three runs. The 28-year-old has logged at least one hit in six of his last seven games and has gone 8-for-21 (.381) with five RBI over that span.

    Angels' Oswald Peraza: Getting rest Thursday

    Peraza isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
