Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.

The veteran first baseman took Kyle Hendricks deep in the fourth inning to open the scoring. Walker had a rough start to his first campaign in Houston, but since the beginning of July he's slashing .261/.316/.467, a performance in line with his last few years with Arizona. Friday's homer was Walker's 25th, a mark he's reached in four straight seasons, and he needs four more RBI in the final two games to reach 90 for the third time in his career.

Naylor was pulled from Friday's game against the Dodgers with minor groin tightness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Naylor seemingly suffered the injury while stealing second base in the third inning Friday, leading to his eventual removal in the fifth. The fact that his groin issue is being described as minor is a good sign that he'll be healthy for Seattle's postseason run, although the M's may still err on the side of caution and hold him out for the final few games of the regular season. Naylor's steal Friday was his 30th of the season, a stunning career high for a player whose previous best was only 10, and who had a total of 25 career pilfers coming into 2025.

Naylor was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Naylor was visibly uncomfortable after swiping second base in the third inning of Friday's contest, and he was eventually lifted for a pinch hitter in the fifth. The Mariners will take a closer look at him to determine what the issue is and should relay their findings in the near future.

Aranda (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss at Toronto.

Aranda returned from a fractured left wrist that had kept him out since late July and immediately made an impact after being activated Friday. The Tampa Bay first baseman gave his team a 2-1 lead in the second with a solo shot off Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber. Aranda is now slashing .316/.395/.485 with 13 homers, 54 runs scored and 55 RBI across 413 plate appearances. The All-Star should play a prominent role in the Rays' lineup for their final two games.

The Rangers selected Solano's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Solano inked a minor-league contract with Texas on Sept. 9 after being released by Seattle on Sept. 1. The veteran infielder will provide the Rangers with additional depth after Josh Smith was placed on the paternity list. Nathan Eovaldi was transferred to the 60-day injured list to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Solano.

Rice is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Orioles.

After five consecutive starts, Rice will take a seat in Friday's series opener. The Yankees will roll with Paul Goldschmidt at first base and Austin Wells at catcher.

The Rays activated Aranda (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Aranda has been on the shelf since late July due to a fractured left wrist, but has rejoined the active roster ahead of the Rays' final series of the regular season. He has been playing in backfield games at the Rays' spring training complex in Florida, and could see some big-league action this weekend. Everson Pereira (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Aranda's return could mean fewer opportunities for Bob Seymour.

Mountcastle went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two total RBI and an additional run scored in Thursday's 6-5 win over Tampa Bay.

Mountcastle got Baltimore on the board in the third inning with his seventh homer of the year, a two-out, opposite-field blast off Jesse Scholtens, before driving in a second run with another two-out base hit in the fifth. It's the first multi-hit game since Sep. 2 for Mountcastle -- he'd gone 8-for-51 (.157) in 13 contests coming into Thursday. Overall, he's slashing .253/.289/.372 with 35 RBI and 34 runs scored across 353 plate appearances this season.

Schanuel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Royals.

Schanuel has gone 6-for-22 (.273) with two homers and four RBI over six games since he returned from a wrist injury. The first baseman is up to 12 homers through 131 games, one shy of his power output from 147 games in 2024. He's added a .267/.355/.393 slash line, 53 RBI, 64 runs scored and five stolen bases in 2025 as an everyday presence in the Angels' lineup when healthy.

Pasquantino went 1-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three total RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Angels.

Pasquantino made an early impact with his two-run homer in the first inning, and he added a third RBI in the third. The first baseman has put it all together in September, batting .314 (27-for-86) with four homers, 17 RBI and 15 runs scored over 22 contests this month. For the season, he has a .267/.326/.479 slash line with 32 homers, 111 RBI, 72 runs, 31 doubles and a stolen base over 157 games.
