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.

Stewart started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Cubs.

Stewart manned the hot corner for a second consecutive game with Ke'Bryan Hayes nursing soreness in his back. Hayes, who entered as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning Thursday, is expected to see a specialist by Monday. Presumably, Stewart will continue to start at third base until Hayes is ready to resume a full-time role.

Crim went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Thursday's 9-7 loss to Miami.

The rookie cleared the fence twice Thursday with each drive carrying more than 400 feet. Just a week after delivering his first big-league long ball, Crim now owns his first multi-homer performance only 11 games into his MLB career. Since being recalled last week, the 28-year-old has swung the bat well, posting a .261 average (6-for-23) with three homers, a double, seven RBI and four runs scored across his first six games with Colorado since making his MLB debut in May.

Alonso went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Padres.

Alonso opened the scoring with a 445-foot blast off Randy Vasquez with two outs in the first inning. Alonso's now homered in four straight games and six times in September, giving him 37 long balls on the year. Overall, the first baseman is slashing .270/.345/.526 with 121 RBI and 82 runs scored through 669 plate appearances this season.

Mountcastle (finger) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Thursday's game versus the Yankees

Per Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com, Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino revealed that Mountcastle has been dealing with a finger issue the last two days, though it's unclear whether that's the only reason he's been out of the lineup. The 28-year-old's start Thursday is just his third over the past eight tilts.

Gonzalez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Athletics.

The right-handed-hitting Gonzalez has seen more and more reps versus righties lately -- in addition to his regular starts against lefties -- but he'll take a seat for this one as the Athletics send righty J.T. Ginn to the bump. David Hamilton is at second base and batting seventh for the Red Sox.
