Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Twins.

Torkelson has been in a nice groove lately, posting a .286/.405/.571 slash line over his last 10 games to go along with three home runs, four RBI and five runs scored. After a down year in 2024, the 25-year-old has bounced back as a key offensive performer for the Tigers this season. Torkelson is currently tied for 13th in the majors with 26 long balls this year.

Schanuel went 3-for-4 with a walk in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Athletics.

Schanuel was able to account for one-third of the 12 baserunners the Angels earned in this contest. This was a slump-breaking effort for the first baseman, who had gone 0-for-14 over his previous four games. He's been held hitless in four straight games on just two occasions all season, demonstrating consistency at the plate. He's posted a .267/.355/.387 slash line with 10 home runs, 49 RBI, 59 runs scored and five stolen bases over 119 contests.

Pasquantino's early exit from Saturday's game against the White Sox was due to a heat-related illness.

Pasquantino was pulled from the game following his first-inning at-bat, which ended with a strikeout. Though being removed from a game early is very rarely a positive occurrence, the reason for his exit gives reason to hope that he's not dealing with anything serious. It's unclear if Pasquantino will be able to return to the lineup Sunday for the series finale, however.

Pasquantino was pulled from Saturday's game against the White Sox after one inning due to an apparent injury, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Pasquantino appeared to show discomfort after taking a swing in his lone plate appearance. He remained in the contest to finish the at-bat but was replaced by Nick Loftin -- who had started in left field -- at first base for the top of the second inning. Meanwhile, John Rave entered the contest in left. Pasquantino figures to undergo further evaluation, the results of which should provide more details about what he's dealing with, along with a potential return timeframe.

Mead isn't starting against the Royals on Saturday.

Mead has been a regular at third base since getting called up from Triple-A on Aug. 3, and he's held his own with a .281/.361/.281 slash line -- albeit with no extra-base hits -- along with five RBI and a stolen base over 10 games as a member of the White Sox. He's getting a breather Saturday, though, as Miguel Vargas is starting at the hot corner and Lenyn Sosa is sliding over to first base.

Goldschmidt (knee) isn't in the starting lineup against St. Louis on Saturday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for the third straight game as he deals with a low-grade strain in his right knee. That said, he was able to appear as a defensive replacement at first base late Friday (though he didn't make a plate appearance), so he could be available off the bench again Saturday. Ben Rice is starting at first base in Goldschmidt's stead.

Naylor (illness) is batting fourth and playing first base Saturday against the Mets.

The Mariners scratched Naylor from Friday's lineup due to illness, but he's feeling well enough to start Saturday's contest. He'll reclaim his typical spot at first base and bat cleanup. Naylor is riding a five-game hit streak, going 7-for-19 (.368) during that stretch.

Toro is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Toro will yield to Romy Gonzalez at first base for the second time in three games. Toro hasn't logged multiple hits in a game since July 19, going 10-for-69 (.156) with two doubles and two home runs during that stretch.

Torkelson went 1-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored in Friday's 7-0 win over the Twins.

Torkelson displayed a good eye at the plate, drawing multiple walks in a game for the eighth time this season. The infielder has increased his walk rate from 8.8 percent in 2024 to 10.5 percent this year. Torkelson has also boosted his power production, as he's currently sitting at 26 home runs after only going deep 10 times across 92 regular-season games last season.

Kurtz went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double and three total runs scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Angels.

The long ball was Kurtz's first since his historic four-homer game versus the Astros on July 25. He's been just fine since then, batting .278 with a .724 OPS the 15 games between homers, though he had an 11:20 BB:K in that span as well. The rookie first baseman is up to 24 homers, 65 RBI, 59 runs scored, 21 doubles, two stolen bases and a .305/.384/.631 slash line through 82 contests.
