Raley is not in Saturday's lineup against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays were slated to face three righties this weekend, but they will still find opportunities for some of their right-handed bench bats. Harold Ramirez is starting at designated hitter against righty Hunter Brown. Raley is hitting .185 with zero home runs and a 32.4 percent strikeout rate in his last 10 games.

Diaz (groin) returned to the lineup Friday but said he is still sore when he runs, swings and plays defense, MLB.com reports.

Diaz missed only one full game with the injury and returned as the DH on Friday, when he went 0-for-3 with an RBI. Manager Kevin Cash hopes his first baseman will return to playing the field Saturday, but the skipper also noted the injury will require management for the rest of the season. Diaz has been one of the Rays' better hitters this season, so the team certainly won't want to keep him out of the lineup, but his recovery may ultimately dictate extra days off down the stretch.

Naylor went 3-for-4 with a double in Friday's 3-0 loss to the White Sox.

Naylor accounted for half of the Guardians' hits in the shutout loss. While the first baseman has gone nine games without a home run, he's smacked three doubles and gone 10-for-34 (.294) in that span. For the season, he's maintained a .309/.349/.510 slash line with 15 homers, 79 RBI, 41 runs scored, 25 doubles and six stolen bases over 378 plate appearances in a breakout campaign.

Casas went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two total RBI in Friday's 3-2 win over the Giants.

Casas was a thorn in the side of Giants ace Logan Webb, as the Boston first baseman hit an RBI double in the second inning and a solo shot in the fifth. This was Casas' fifth multi-hit effort during his active six-game hitting streak, a span in which he's homered four times and driven in eight RBI. The first baseman is up to a .256/.361/.491 slash line with 16 long balls, 40 RBI, 46 runs scored, 15 doubles and two triples through 90 games this season. He's seen steady playing time with the Red Sox facing six straight right-handers, and that should continue through the weekend.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Tampa Bay.

After going 50 games without a homer to begin the season, Abreu now has nine in his last 50. His long ball in the fourth inning Friday tied the game against Rays ace Shane McClanahan. It's been a strange season for the veteran, but he's at least showing flashes of his old self. Abreu signed a three-year, $58.5 million contract with the Astros last November.

Kirilloff (shoulder) is back in the lineup Friday at Kansas City.

The 25-year-old will cover first base and bat third versus right-hander Brady Singer after missing Wednesday's game because of minor shoulder soreness. Kirilloff has posted a solid .818 OPS with eight homers and 32 RBI through 67 games this season.

The Royals placed Pratto on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left groin strain.

Pratto's production at the plate has been down recently -- he's slashed just .189/.286/.297 over the past two weeks. He will be sidelined until at least Aug. 6, and Samad Taylor will come up from Triple-A Omaha to fill Pratto's roster spot, but it's not yet clear who will take over for Kansas City at first base.

Vaughn isn't in the White Sox's lineup Friday against the Guardians, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Despite his four-game hitting streak, Vaughn will get a second consecutive day of rest Friday. Gavin Sheets will instead get the nod at first base and bat sixth.

Schaunul has been promoted to Double-A Rocket City, Taylor Blake Ward of The Sporting Tribune reports.

It's quite the rapid rise for Schaunul, who less than three weeks ago was taken by the Angels with the 11th overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. Schaunul had played just five games between the Angels' Arizona Coast League affiliate and Low-A Inland Empire, going 7-for-14 with a double and a 1:5 K:BB. A debut in 2023 almost surely isn't happening, but Schanuel could be on track to reach the majors early in 2024, especially considering the team's struggles to find a reliable first-base option this season.

Diaz (groin) will return to the lineup Friday at designated hitter, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz tweaked his left groin during Tuesday's game versus the Marlins and then sat out Wednesday. An MRI didn't reveal anything serious, though, and he's at least ready to hit Friday following Thursday's off day. Diaz is sporting a .391 OBP since June 1, but his early-season power binge has mostly evaporated as he's hit only two home runs since that date.
