Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Mariners in Game 6 of the ALCS.

Guerrero launched a solo home run off Logan Gilbert to open the bottom of the fifth inning before later being hit by a pitch in the seventh frame and coming around to score again. Additionally, the first baseman notched a single in the bottom of the eighth, securing his sixth multi-hit performance of the playoffs. Through 10 games in the postseason, Guerrero has batted .462 with six home runs, 12 RBI and 11 runs scored over 39 at-bats.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that he views Rice as the team's primary first baseman next season, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Rice split time between designated hitter (48 starts), first base (46 starts) and catcher (26 starts) in 2025, slashing .255/.337/.499 with 26 home runs across 530 regular-season plate appearances. Boone didn't rule out Rice serving as the team's No. 2 or No. 3 catcher in 2026, but most of the 26-year-old's playing time is expected to come at first base.

Guerrero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Game 4 of the ALCS on Thursday against the Mariners.

Guerrero provided an insurance run for the Blue Jays in the seventh inning with his fifth postseason home run. He's been a key to Toronto's success in the ALCS, going 6-for-9 with two homers, two doubles and four runs scored in his last two games.

Guerrero went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, two additional runs scored and a walk during Wednesday's 13-4 win against Seattle in Game 3 of the ALCS.

After collecting nine hits against the Yankees in the ALDS, Guerrero had gone hitless through Toronto's first two games against the Mariners. He returned to form with his performance Wednesday, which was highlighted by a 406-foot blast against George Kirby in the fifth inning. The first baseman has been one of the most prolific hitters in the postseason this year, slashing .464/.515/.964 with four homers, 10 RBI and eight runs scored through seven games.

Goldschmidt will start at first base and bat sixth Wednesday in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Blue Jays.

It will be Goldschmidt's first start of the series and just his second start so far this postseason. Right-handed reliever Louis Varland is serving as the opener in what will be a bullpen game for the Blue Jays.

Rice is not in the lineup Wednesday for Game 4 of the ALDS versus the Blue Jays.

The Yankees are turning to Paul Goldschmidt at first base as the Blue Jays go with a bullpen game. Rice is 4-for-18 with one home run, four RBI and a 1:8 BB:K across five games this postseason.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees in Game 3 of the American League Division Series.

Guerrero smacked a two-run shot in the first inning and scored on an impressive head-first slide in the third. Despite his best efforts to put them away, the Yankees rallied from a 6-1 deficit to win the game and stay alive in the series. The 26-year-old Guerrero is now batting .615 this postseason (8-for-13) as he makes good on all the hype and promise that accompanied his arrival to the major leagues.

Naylor (personal) will start at first base and bat fifth Tuesday in Game 3 of the ALDS versus the Tigers.

Naylor's availability for Game 3 had been in question, as he did not travel with the Mariners to Detroit while he and his wife were expecting the birth of their first child. He has since rejoined the team and is in the lineup as the series moves to Detroit. Naylor is 0-for-8 with a 1:1 BB:K in the first two games of the ALDS.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Monday that Naylor is with his expecting wife and it's uncertain whether the first baseman will be available for ALDS Games 3 and 4 in Detroit, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Naylor did not travel with the team as he and his wife await the birth of their first child. He could be placed on the paternity list, which would make him unavailable for 1-to-3 games, but it does not seem to be a given that a move will be made. Luke Raley or Eugenio Suarez could fill in at first base if Naylor has to miss time. If it's Suarez who is used at first base, the Mariners would likely install Ben Williamson at third base. Naylor has gone 0-for-8 with a 1:1 BB:K in the first two games of the ALDS versus the Tigers.

Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow on Monday would not commit to Casas (knee) being the team's starting first baseman next season, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Breslow also noted that while Casas is "doing really well" in his recovery from surgery in May to repair a ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee, he could not guarantee the 25-year-old will be ready in time for Opening Day. If healthy, Casas is the heavy favorite to break camp as Boston's primary first baseman, but the Red Sox are keeping their options open at this early juncture of the offseason. Injuries have limited Casas to just 92 games over the last two seasons, and he slashed only .182/.277/.303 across 29 contests in 2025 before his knee injury.
