  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Serves as DH on rehab

    Moreno (finger) served as the designated hitter for Triple-A Reno on Friday and went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI.

    This was the second game of Moreno's rehab assignment after he caught five innings Thursday. The catcher missed nearly two months of action with a fracture of his right pointer finger and is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list anytime after Sunday.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Plays hero in four-RBI effort

    Kirk went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.

    With the Blue Jays down 3-0 in the seventh inning, Kirk got hold of a Robert Garcia changeup and drove it the other way for a two-run homer. After Texas struck back for two more runs in the top of the eighth, the backstop completed the comeback in the bottom of the frame with a two-run single off Phil Maton. The long ball was Kirk's eighth of the season and his first since June 19, snapping a 36-game drought, while the multi-RBI performance was his first since July 11. Despite those dry spells, he's still slashing .296/.355/.403 through 98 contests on the season with 52 RBI, 11 short of the career high he set in 2022. Friday's steal was also the first of his career.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Reaches 25-homer mark

    Langeliers went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Angels.

    Langeliers led off the bottom of the first inning with a homer, and he added an RBI single in the eighth to help the Athletics secure their lead. His power has spiked in August with seven homers over his last 13 games, a span in which he's also batting .386 (22-for-57). The catcher has gone deep 25 times this season, putting him on pace to reach the 30-homer mark for the first time in his career. He's added 55 RBI, 53 runs scored, 21 doubles, five stolen bases and a .274/.320/.549 slash line across 92 contests in a breakout campaign.

  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Lifts 25th homer

    Goodman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Friday against the Diamondbacks.

    Goodman got the scoring going for the Rockies as he blasted his 25th home run of the season in the first inning. That continues his recent tear, as seven of his long balls have now come in his last 15 games.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Sitting Friday

    O'Hoppe is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Athletics on Friday.

    O'Hoppe will get a day off while Travis d'Arnaud serves behind home plate and bats seventh. O'Hoppe has gone 5-for-29 (.172) with four RBI in eight games since the beginning of August.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Getting breather Friday

    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

    Jeffers isn't part of the starting nine for the first time in 15 games, yielding to Mickey Gasper behind the dish while Trevor Larnach fills in at DH. Jeffers is hitless in his last 11 at-bats, a stretch that began immediately after he posted a 12-game hit streak.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: Late add to lineup

    Garver will DH and bat sixth in Friday's game against the Mets.

    Garver was left off the first iteration of Seattle's lineup, but he'll step into the starting nine after Josh Naylor (undisclosed) was scratched. Garver is slashing .212/.301/.332 in 219 plate appearances this season.

  • Logan Driscoll: Released by Tampa Bay

    The Rays released Driscoll (ankle) on Friday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Driscoll appeared in 15 games for the Rays last season and slashed a forgettable .171/.189/.257 with one home run, five RBI, two runs scored and a 1:6 BB:K across 37 plate appearances. Driscoll rolled his ankle during spring training and hasn't played in 2025.

  • Sandy Leon C | ATL

    Braves' Sandy Leon: Booted from 40-man roster

    Atlanta outrighted Leon to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

    Leon will cede his spot on the 26-man and 40-man roster Friday in response to Ronald Acuna's (calf) reinstatement from the 10-day injured list. Leon struck out in his only plate appearance during his stint in the bigs. Leon will have the option to elect free agency or remain within Atlanta's organization.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: On bench Friday

    Kelly isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against the Pirates.
