Schanuel (leg) isn't in the Angels' lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Schanuel will sit down for the second game in a row after exiting Wednesday's game early with a bruised right lower leg. Niko Kavadas will fill in as Los Angeles' first baseman and bat eighth Friday.

Turner is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Oakland, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Turner will begin Friday's contest on the bench while Cal Raleigh serves as the designated hitter and bats second. Turner has reached base safely in 24 straight starts, and since Sept. 1 he's slashed .293/.391/.440 with 13 runs scored, two home runs and eight RBI across 92 plate appearances.

Singleton is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Cleveland.

The lefty-hitting Singleton will take a seat Friday against southpaw Joey Cantillo and the Guardians. In his place, Victor Caratini will play first base and bat fifth.

Rizzo is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Pirates.

Rizzo had been in the lineup for each of the previous four tilts, reaching base eight times, but he'll get a day off Friday. Oswaldo Cabrera is at first base and hitting ninth for the Yankees.

The Astros recalled Dezenzo from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

He's taking the roster spot vacated by fellow rookie Shay Whitcomb, who was sent down. Dezenzo has slashed only .212/.255/.308 with one home run in 17 games with the Astros this season. It's possible he'll get a little playing time versus lefties over the final weekend.

Vaughn went 3-for-4 with a two-RBI single and a run scored during Thursday's 7-0 win over the Angels.

All seven runs scored by the ChiSox came in the fifth inning, and Vaughn started the scoring by plating Dominic Fletcher and Miguel Vargas on an RBI single. Vaughn came around to score in the frame on a Lenyn Sosa double. In September, Vaughn is 25-for-78 (.320) with four home runs, 10 RBI and seven runs.

Mountcastle isn't in Baltimore's lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

Mountcastle has recorded a hit in both games he's played in since returning from the injured list Tuesday. He'll get a chance to rest Thursday while Ryan O'Hearn starts at first base and Adley Rutschman serves as the DH, putting James McCann behind the plate.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run single in a win over the Astros on Wednesday, extending his on-base streak to 20 games.

Turner has also reached safely in 24 straight starts, and he owns a .302/.396/.500 slash line with a 14.2 percent walk rate and 17.0 percent strikeout rate over that span. Those numbers are reminiscent of vintage Turner from the pinnacle of his career with the Dodgers, and his contributions have played an integral part in keeping the Mariners in contention for an AL wild-card spot.

Pasquantino (thumb) took batting practice on the field Thursday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Pasquantino is just over three weeks removed from surgery to repair a fractured right thumb, a procedure which carried a projected 6-to-8 week timetable. That he's already taking what looked to be full swings in batting practice seems to suggest he has a shot to beat that timeline, although the Royals would need to qualify for the postseason and probably advance at least one round in order for Pasquantino to become a realistic option.

Kavadas is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the White Sox.

For the second straight day and third time in four games, Kavadas is not in the lineup versus a right-hander. Angels manager Ron Washington has leaned more towards having both of his catchers in the lineup lately, with one of them behind the plate and the other serving as the designated hitter. In Thursday's series finale, it will be Logan O'Hoppe catching and Matt Thaiss at DH.
