Manzardo went 1-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

Manzardo wouldn't let Steven Kwan's leadoff double in the first inning go to waste, as he gave the Guardians an early lead with a two-out, RBI single. He's hit safely in 13 of 17 games (16 starts) in the second half, slashing .358/.453/.585 with three home runs and 13 RBI during that stretch. The lefty batter, who remains limited to mainly facing right-handed pitching, has been more effective of late than he was in the first half of the season, when Manzardo logged a .217/.293/.442 slash line.

Larnach (side) went grounded out as a pinch hitter in his lone plate appearance in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Royals.

Larnach had been out of the lineup for the previous three games due to left side soreness as well as soreness in both of his arms, according to Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star Tribune. However, his return to action off the bench Saturday suggests he'll rejoin the lineup soon.

Rooker went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Orioles.

Rooker put the Athletics ahead with a three-run homer in the third inning before adding an RBI double in the fifth. The 30-year-old is 9-for-33 through eight August contests, tallying four extra-base hits, eight RBI, five runs scored and a rare stolen base in that span. For the season, he's slashing .274/.346/.500 with 24 homers, 70 RBI, 73 runs scored and five steals across 518 plate appearances.

Larnach (side) is not in the Twins' starting lineup against the Royals on Saturday.

Larnach will miss a third consecutive game while working through left side soreness that flared up before Wednesday's game against the Tigers. Carson McCusker will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth.

Yoshida went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 10-2 win over the Padres.

The 32-year-old put an exclamation point on the rout when he launched a two-run homer off Sean Reynolds in the ninth inning. Yoshida has two long balls on the season, both of which have come in his last five starts, but his playing time and production both remain inconsistent. Over 47 plate appearances since the All-Star break, Yoshida is slashing .227/.255/.409 with three runs, six RBI and a 1:10 BB:K.

Diaz isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Seattle, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Diaz will get a breather Friday after going 5-for-25 with two homers, four RBI and four runs scored through his first six games of August. His absence will cause Brandon Lowe to shift to first base while Tristan Gray covers second.

Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that there's a "good chance" Stanton starts in the outfield Saturday against Houston, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

Stanton has exclusively played DH this season after dealing with tennis elbow in both of his arms throughout the spring and portions of the summer. It appears as though he's feeling well enough to start playing defense, which should open up more opportunities for Stanton to make the lineup while Aaron Judge is limited to DH. Stanton has been out of the starting nine in three consecutive games, including Friday's series opener against the Astros.

Larnach (side) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Kansas City.

Larnach was scratched from Wednesday's game with left side soreness, and he'll be held out of the lineup once again for the series opener against the Royals. Mickey Gasper will DH and bat ninth Friday.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Rays.

Trout tied the game in the third inning with a 433-foot blast off Shane Baz, his 20th of the year. The blast marked the 10th time in Trout's 15-year career that he's reached the 20-homer mark. The 34-year-old veteran also extended his hit streak to six games. Overall, Trout is slashing .240/.364/.471 with 50 RBI and 48 runs scored through 376 plate appearances this season.

Keaschall went 2-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Tigers.

Keaschall opened the scoring with a two-run double in the first inning and added another RBI double in the fourth. The rookie has hit safely in eight of his first nine major-league games, with the lone exception coming April 25, when he fractured his forearm in his only plate appearance. During that stretch, he's slashing .393/.514/.679 with six extra-base hits, eight RBI, five runs scored and five steals across just 35 plate appearances.
