Pasquantino left Friday's game against the Orioles with right shoulder discomfort, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports. He went 0-for-3 before exiting.

Pasquantino was replaced by Matt Duffy at first base. It's likely Pasquantino will likely undergo further testing on the shoulder to determine the severity of the injury, but at this point the 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day.

Gurriel is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the White Sox.

Gurriel will take a seat after he went 0-for-8 with a run scored while starting twice during the Marlins' three-game series with the Royals. Garrett Cooper will draw the start at first base and bat fifth in the series opener with Chicago.

Tellez is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Athletics.

Owen Miller will start at first base and bat leadoff for the Brewers as the A's stage a bullpen game headed by left-handed opener Sam Moll. Brian Anderson is taking a turn at designated hitter.

Alonso was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

He was sent for a CT scan and MRI on Thursday after getting struck by a 97 mph Charlie Morton fastball in Wednesday's game versus Atlanta, and Alonso is now expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks. The power-hitting 28-year-old had delivered an .872 OPS with a league-leading 22 home runs and 49 RBI through 62 games this season with the Mets, who are starting Mark Canha at first base Friday in Pittsburgh. Mark Vientos could also be an option.

Mountcastle is not in Friday's lineup due to an undisclosed illness, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

He should be ready to return sometime over the weekend. With Mountcastle on the bench, Anthony Santander is starting at first base Friday, with Ryan McKenna handling right field.

Mountcastle is out of the Orioles' lineup Friday due to an illness, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

Mountcastle tried to play through his illness Thursday against Milwaukee -- he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts -- but will get Friday off as he recovers. Fantasy managers should consider Mountcastle day-to-day going forward.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Friday that Bohm is still experiencing some soreness in his left hamstring and won't come off the injured list Saturday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Instead, Bohm will test his hamstring in a team workout. It sounds like the 26-year-old corner infielder should be ready to return by early next week and possibly as early as Sunday.

O'Hearn isn't in the Orioles' lineup Friday versus Kansas City, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

The left-handed slugger will sit Friday as the Royals prepare to send southpaw Daniel Lynch to the mound. O'Hearn is batting .250 (7-for-28) over his last eight games with five extra-base hits but a 1:10 BB:K.

Mountcastle isn't starting Friday against the Royals, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Mountcastle has been in a cold spell at the plate recently, slashing .133/.188/.133 across the past seven days. His slump will cost him a start for the second time in the last three games, as Anthony Santander will take over at first base for Mountcastle. Ryan McKenna will start in right field and bat ninth.

Ellis is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Dodgers.

Ellis will remain on the bench for a second consecutive game, both of which came against left-handed starters -- a troubling sign for his playing time. Edmundo Sosa will draw the start at the hot corner while Kody Clemens handles first base in the series opener with Los Angeles.
