Manzardo went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in Friday's 3-2 extra inning win over Minnesota.

Manzardo sent the fans home happy after his single to left field brought Brayan Rocchio home. Manzardo has been red hot at the plate since the All-Star break and is in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak, going 15-for-33 (.455) with three home runs and 11 RBI over that span.

Trout is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the White Sox on Friday due to an illness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout has started in all 13 games since the All-Star break, going 11-for-49 (.224) with three doubles, two home runs and six RBI with a 41.7 percent strikeout rate over that span. However, an illness will send him to the bench for the start of Friday's series opener while Travis d'Arnaud serves as the designated hitter and bats eighth.

Diaz (forearm) is starting at first base and leading off Friday against the Dodgers.

Diaz exited Thursday's game after getting hit on the arm by a pitch in his first plate appearance, but he's right back in there Friday against lefty Clayton Kershaw.

The Blue Jays placed Springer (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Springer was hit in the head with a pitch Monday in Baltimore and hasn't played since, but he'll be eligible to return to the lineup next Tuesday in Colorado. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays activated Daulton Varsho (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list.

Keaschall (forearm) won't be reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday and will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The Twins have a ton of roster spots to fill coming out of the trade deadline, but Keaschall needs a bit more time in the minors before rejoining the active roster. The 22-year-old served exclusively as a designated hitter during the first week of his rehab assignment, and he'll continue building up his defensive work with St. Paul. Once reinstated, Keaschall should see plenty of playing time following the departures of Carlos Correa (illness), Willi Castro, Harrison Bader and Ty France.

Diaz was removed from Thursday's game against the Yankees in the fourth inning after being hit on the right forearm by a pitch, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz initially remained in the game after being hit by a Marcus Stroman offering in the top of the first inning, but he was removed for a pinch hitter the next time his spot in the order game up. The designated hitter's name has come up in trade rumors, but Topkin hears that Diaz's removal was related to injury and not a trade. The Rays should have more on his condition after the game.

Yoshida went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 13-1 win over the Twins.

The 32-year-old launched a solo shot off position player Kody Clemens in the ninth inning, giving Yoshida his first homer of the year in his 13th game. After a very belated start to his campaign due to offseason shoulder surgery, Yoshida has a .239/.255/.370 slash line with three doubles, two steals, three runs and four RBI in 47 plate appearances since his activation in early July. He's been seeing consistent playing time since the All-Star break, but Yoshida's role could become more secure of the Red Sox are able to flip one of their young outfielders before the trade deadline.

Polanco went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Athletics on Wedneday.

Polanco's homer was a two-run shot in the seventh inning that reduced Seattle's deficit from three runs to one. The long ball was his 17th of the campaign, marking the most he has hit during a regular season since he went deep 33 times for Minnesota in 2021. Part of Polanco's increase in production this year has been due to health. He's had a few nagging issues but has been able to play in 90 games so far. after averaging just 100 regular-season contests over the past three campaigns.

Fry went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Rockies.

Fry socked his fifth homer of the season, and he's begun to show a power stroke despite a lack of average in the month of July. Over his last 43 at-bats, the 29-year-old is batting only .209 but has four long balls, one double and 10 RBI. It's fair to wonder if the Guardians will try to get Fry in the lineup more frequently versus righties-- the righty-hitting infielder has a .530 OPS versus left-handed pitching despite seeing most of his action against southpaws.

Pederson is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Angels on Wednesday.

Even with the Halos sending right-hander Jose Soriano to the mound, the lefty-hitting Pederson will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Pederson was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Sunday but has gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts since his return. Kyle Higashioka will serve as the designated hitter while Jonah Heim starts behind home plate.
