Kavadas went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to Toronto on Thursday.

The Angels' offense had been shut out until Kavadas made things interesting with a three-run blast to left field in the ninth inning. The long ball was not only his first as a major-leaguer, it was also his first hit of any kind -- he had gone 0-for-14 prior to the homer. Kavadas has intriguing power, as he went deep 19 times in 94 games in Triple-A this season prior to being called up by the Halos on Aug. 16.

Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 10-2 loss to the Cubs.

Torkelson brought home the Tigers' only runs Thursday, tagging Justin Steele for a two-run shot in the seventh inning. In five games since returning to Detroit's big-league roster, Torkelson is 7-for-17 (.412) with two doubles, a triple and a home run. The 24-year-old has a .652 OPS in 249 plate appearances on the year.

Mountcastle exited Thursday's game against the Astros due to a sore wrist, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Mountcastle suffered the injury while diving headfirst into second base in the second inning. He remained in the contest until the ninth frame but reported that the pain got progressively worse. Imaging will likely be the next step and should provide a clearer timeline for Mountcastle's return.

Soderstrom (wrist) played catch before Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, the Associated Press reports.

Soderstrom began his strengthening program earlier this week and Wednesday's activity was part of his progression. There's still no word on when the rookie might be able to get some swings in rehab games, but he still seems to be well on track to return to the big-league roster before the end of the regular season.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI against the Athletics on Wednesday.

Diaz suffered an injury scare Sunday after being hit by a pitch in the arm, but he didn't miss any action and went 4-for-11 with two doubles in the Rays' ensuing three-game series against Oakland. Diaz has had a strong month of August, maintaining a .297 average with six RBI and eight runs scored across 18 games.

Rizzo (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset during the weekend, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Rizzo will serve as a designated hitter for the first several games of his assignment before eventually moving back to first base. The Yankees haven't said how long the 35-year-old will remain in the minors, though he figures to return to New York sometime in early September.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that the team has discussed sending Rizzo (forearm) out on a rehab assignment, though no decision has been reached as to when it would begin, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Rizzo would serve as a designated hitter initially on the rehab assignment before eventually playing time first base. The 35-year-old has been on the injured list since mid-June with a fractured right forearm and is likely trending toward an early September return.

Guerrero will start at third base and bat third in Wednesday's contest versus the Reds.

Guerrero will pick up a second start in a row and the eighth start this season at the hot corner, despite having not previously made any starts at the position since his 2019 rookie campaign. The 25-year-old has already picked up third-base eligibility on some fantasy platforms, and getting to the 20-game threshold before the end of this season would mean he would have eligibility at the position in just about every format heading into 2025.

Rizzo (forearm) batted in a simulated game against Yankees reliever Ian Hamilton on Tuesday, but the first baseman's return timeline is still undetermined, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

That Rizzo was able to take swings against Hamilton -- who threw his full arsenal of pitches -- is a positive sign that his forearm fracture is healing well, but manager Aaron Boone indicated that the team still wants Rizzo to heal further before sending him off on a rehab assignment. The veteran slugger has been out since mid-June and isn't likely to return to New York's lineup until some time in September.

Dezenzo is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It's the third straight game on the bench for Dezenzo, who has started just three of the last nine games and just one of the last seven against right-handed pitching. Yainer Diaz will play first base in Wednesday's series finale, while Victor Caratini will do the catching.
