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.

Schanuel (leg) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Schanuel departed Wednesday's contest when a foul ball off his right lower leg resulted in a painful contusion. He's considered day-to-day. Brandon Drury will fill in at first base for the Angels in Thursday's matinee.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

The Rays haven't indicated that Diaz is dealing with an injury, and despite being one of the team's more productive hitters this season, he'll be on the bench for the third time in four games Thursday. With Diaz's playing time having been scaled back lately, Jonathan Aranda has taken over as the Rays' everyday first baseman, and manager Kevin Cash has rotated a number of different players at the designated-hitter spot.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Rays.

Torkelson went deep with a runner on in the sixth inning, giving him 10 long balls for the year and helping the Tigers inch closer to a playoff spot. It's been a choppy season for the 25-year-old, and his struggles led to a demotion to Triple-A Toledo in June. It's a step back from the 31 home runs and 94 RBI Torkelson produced in 2023, but he's been better since getting recalled in August, and he'll turn the page even further if he helps lead Detroit on a postseason run for the first time in his career.

Schanuel was removed from Wednesday's game against the White Sox due to a lower right leg contusion.

Schanuel struck out swinging after fouling a ball off his leg during his lone at-bat in the top of the first inning, and he didn't take the field once the Angels went on defense to begin the bottom half of the frame. If he's unable to play in Thursday's series finale, Brandon Drury could be in line to pick up a start at first base.

Kavadas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Kavadas' grip on a strong-side platoon role may be slipping down the stretch; he'll hit the bench Wednesday for the second time in the Angels' last three matchups with right-handed pitchers. He'll cede his spot in the lineup to Matt Thaiss, who picks up a start at catcher while top backstop Logan O'Hoppe gets a day off behind the dish but sticks in the starting nine at designated hitter.
