Padlo cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Padlo will remain in the Angels organization. The 26-year-old infielder is just 6-for-54 at the plate across parts of three seasons at the big-league level.

Guerrero went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 2-1 win over San Francisco.

Guerrero broke a scoreless tie in the sixth inning with a 413-foot two-run shot that gave the Blue Jays all the offense they needed to pull out the win. The long ball was the third in the past five games for the slugger, who has gone 8-for-22 with six extra-base hits and nine RBI over the hot stretch. Prior to the impressive run, Guerrero had been batting .243 (18-for-74) with just one homer over his first 20 contests in June.

Raley went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's victory over the Diamondbacks.

Raley got the scoring started with a solo shot off Brandon Pfaadt in the first inning. It's Raley's 13th homer of the year, though just his third in his last 25 games. Still, the 28-year-old outfielder has been productive in that span -- he's gone 21-for-62 (.339) since the start of June. Raley's now slashing an impressive .276/.354/.573 with 40 runs scored, 30 RBI and eight stolen bases through 210 plate appearances this season.

Gurriel did not suffer any broken bones to his face Thursday and is considered day-to-day, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Gurriel was in Thursday's lineup against Boston but was scratched after taking a groundball to the nose in pregame warmups. He seemingly avoided serious injury and could return as early as Friday, when the Marlins open a series in Atlanta.

Torkelson went 2-for-3 with two walks, two home runs and four RBI in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Rangers.

Torkelson enjoyed a career day at the plate Thursday, recording his first multi-home run game in his second MLB season. The four RBI is also a career best. Torkelson now leads the team with 11 long balls and 39 RBI this season. Despite a middling .696 OPS overall, the 23-year-old is showing signs of living up to his potential as the 2020 No. 1 overall pick.

X-rays came back negative on Rizzo's elbow after he was hit by a pitch in Thursday's win over the Athletics, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Rizzo made an early exit from the contest, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated the veteran first baseman will likely sit out Friday's series opener in St. Louis, but it's not an overly serious concern. Rizzo finished 1-for-3 with the HBP and a run scored Thursday in Oakland and is batting .269/.357/.430 with 11 homers and 37 RBI across 75 games this season.

Gurriel was scratched from the lineup Thursday in Boston due to an apparent facial injury, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Gurriel took a groundball to the nose while participating in pregame infield drills at Fenway Park on Thursday and walked off with a towel to his face. Luis Arraez will slide over to first base with Jon Berti covering second and Jean Segura entering the Marlins' lineup at third.

Bohm is not in the lineup Thursday against the Cubs.

Josh Harrison will start at third base and bat eighth versus the Cubs and right-hander Kyle Hendricks, with Kody Clemens handling first base and hitting ninth. Bohm has largely raked against lefties this year but holds a .650 OPS in his 201 plate appearances versus righties.

Cooper was scratched from the lineup Thursday against the Red Sox due to an illness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Jorge Soler will slide into DH duties with Yuli Gurriel sticking at first base and Jesus Sanchez being added to the lineup in right field. Cooper can safely be considered day-to-day as the Marlins wrap up this series at Fenway Park before heading to Atlanta for a three-game weekend set.

Flores is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Flores hasn't appeared in a game since returning Tuesday from an IL stint for a bruised left foot -- potentially because the Giants don't want to expose him to the turf at Rogers Centre in Toronto. LaMonte Wade is playing first base in Thursday's series finale and J.D. Davis will handle the hot corner.
