    He was struck by a Grant Hartwig pitch in the sixth inning and immediately left the game. It's not clear at this point whether France has undergone X-rays, but more should be available on his status after the game. The first baseman went 1-for-2 with a single prior to the hit-by-pitch.

  • Ryan Noda 1B | BAL

    Athletics' Ryan Noda: Thrives as in-game replacement

    The 27-year-old lined out to center in his pinch-hit appearance, but he proceeded to deliver in his final at-bat of the night with an eighth-inning double that drove in Zack Gelof. Noda now has five RBI over his last seven games and pushed his OPS back over the .800 threshold (.803) for the season with Friday's production.

  • Jose Abreu 1B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Abreu: Tallies another homer

    Abreu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Yankees.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: No lingering injury issues

    Diaz went 1-for-4 with a double and a walk Wednesday against the Marlins.

    Diaz has started a pair of games since returning from soreness caused by a hit by pitch. He hasn't been slowed by the issue, as he's reached base four times in 10 plate appearances since rejoining the lineup. Diaz hasn't been able to maintain the spike in power he showed at the beginning of the season, but he's maintained a .327 batting average and has racked up 79 runs scored across 113 games.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Mariners' Ty France: On base once in return to action

    France (wrist) went 0-for-3 with a walk in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.

    France was back in the lineup and starting at first base after being removed from Tuesday's game due to getting struck on the left wrist during a pickoff attempt. The veteran infielder was able to get on base via a free pass to push his OBP over the last 11 games to an elite .404, and his ability to play a full game seemingly corroborates he'll be unimpeded by his wrist contusion moving forward.
