Naylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

Naylor delivered a go-ahead solo shot in the seventh inning. Prior to Friday, Naylor had gone just 1-for-19 with six strikeouts over his previous six games, and he hadn't homered since Aug. 10 versus the Rays. The first baseman is up to 16 long balls, 70 RBI, 62 runs scored, 22 stolen bases and a .282/.346/.450 slash line through 118 contests. He's been consistently strong at T-Mobile Park and should benefit from facing a weak pitching staff in this weekend's series versus the Athletics.

X-rays on Mayo's right hand came back negative after he was hit by a pitch in Friday's loss to the Astros, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mayo took a 97-mph fastball from Bryan Abreu off his right hand in the bottom of the ninth inning. Consider him day-to-day headed into Saturday's matchup with Houston.

Pasquantino went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Tigers.

Pasquantino extended his home-run streak to five games with a two-run blast off Will Vest in the ninth. It was the first baseman's seventh homer in 10 contests, and he's now racked up 13 extra-base hits and 24 RBI so far in August. For the season, he's slashing .263/.324/.475 with 27 homers, 89 RBI, 54 runs scored and a steal in what's shaping up to be a career year.

Mayo will undergo X-rays on his right hand after being hit by a pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday against the Astros, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Mayo was hit by a 97-mph fastball from Bryan Abreu but was able to stay in the game. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said after the Orioles' loss that he believes Mayo will be OK, but he'll still undergo scans. Mayo went 1-for-3 with one walk, the hit-by-pitch and one run scored in Friday's contest. He's slashing .201/.280/.348 with five home runs, 19 RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base across 182 plate appearances this season.

Guerrero (hamstring) participated in pre-game warmups ahead of Friday's contest against the Marlins and could be available off the bench, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Guerrero has been out of the Blue Jays' lineup since leaving Monday's game against the Pirates due to left hamstring tightness. The good news is that he was cleared to participate in pre-game activities Friday, sprinting on the field before hitting in the batting cage. Guerrero should still be considered day-to-day, but there's a chance he returns to the lineup at some point during Toronto's three-game road series in Miami. Ty France is starting at first base in Friday's series opener.

Guerrero (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Miami.

Guerrero hasn't played since injuring his left hamstring during Monday's contest in Pittsburgh. He's been diagnosed with inflammation rather than a strain, so Guerrero could be back in the lineup any day. In the meantime, Ty France will draw another start at first base Friday.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Goldschmidt started three of the previous four contests and has an .823 OPS through 15 games in August, but he'll head to the bench for Friday's matchup with Boston. Ben Rice will handle first base while Austin Wells starts at catcher versus Red Sox righty Brayan Bello.

Walker went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and a second run scored in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Orioles.

Walker had gone 11 games without a homer, batting a paltry .179 (7-for-39) with three doubles and four RBI in that span. He made his impact early Thursday, giving Houston a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Walker is up to 17 long balls this season while adding 67 RBI, 54 runs scored, one stolen base, 21 doubles and a .235/.302/.396 slash line over 121 contests. He is likely to finish with his lowest homer total since 2021, though he should still be able to eclipse 20 long balls for a fourth straight year.

Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Twins.

Kurtz extended the A's lead to 7-2 in the sixth inning with a 425-foot blast off Michael Tonkin, his 26th this season. With his two knocks Thursday, the rookie first baseman extended his hitting streak to six games -- he's gone 11-for-21 (.524) with three homers in that span. Kurtz has positioned himself as the favorite for AL Rookie of the Year by slashing .315/.404/.650 with 68 RBI and 65 runs scored across 367 plate appearances.

The Red Sox will designate Toro for assignment prior to Thursday's game versus the Yankees, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

The writing on the wall for Toro to lose his 40-man roster spot following the team's addition of Nathaniel Lowe, and Toro didn't help himself with a .524 OPS in his last 49 games. David Hamilton will be recalled from Triple-A Worcester to replace Toro on the active roster.
