Torkelson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

Torkelson will get a day to clear his head Saturday after going 0-for-12 across his last three games. While he sits, Colt Keith will start at first base for Detroit while Kerry Carpenter works as the DH and Wenceel Perez starts in right field.

Mead went 2-for-2 with three walks, three runs and an RBI in Friday's 14-8 win over the Tigers.

Mead made just his seventh start against a right-handed pitcher for the season, filling in at third base Friday for Junior Caminero. He took advantage of the opportunity by reaching base in every plate appearance while scoring multiple runs in a game for the second time on the campaign. Mead is hitting a solid .250/.336/.385 across 110 plate appearances this season, but his playing time is too sporadic to make him useful outside of AL-only leagues.

Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Guardians.

Prior to Friday, Soderstrom had gone just 4-for-31 (.129) with five walks and six strikeouts over a nine-game span since his previous multi-hit effort. He's up to five steals this season, three of which have come in June, but he's not expected to be a big source of speed. The 23-year-old is batting .249 with a .776 OPS, 14 home runs, 45 RBI, 41 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple over 77 contests this season. With Nick Kurtz having retaken a starting role at first base after a stint on the injured list due to a hip issue, Soderstrom has settled in as the Athletics' starting left fielder once again.

Kurtz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Guardians.

Kurtz took a break from his recent stretch of late homers, instead delivering a first-inning blast Friday. He's gone deep five times during his six-game hitting streak, accounting for half of his 10 long balls on the year. The first baseman has added a .252/.307/.526 slash line, 25 RBI and 18 runs scored over his first 150 plate appearances in the majors.

Burger was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates with left side tightness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Burger seemed to grab at his left side after striking out in the seventh inning of Friday's contest, and he was replaced at first base when the Rangers took the field to play defense. The Rangers haven't yet provided details on the severity of his injury, but fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Smith is not in San Francisco's starting lineup against Boston on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Smith will take a seat after going 1-for-10 with one RBI and four strikeouts during the Giants' three-game home series against the Guardians earlier this week. Wilmer Flores will start at first base and bat in the cleanup spot.

Freeman isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

An 0-for-3 performance Thursday broke up Freeman's modest four-game hitting streak, and he'll now grab a seat on the bench while Enrique Hernandez starts at first base during Friday's series opener.

Contreras isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Contreras will get a chance to rest Friday after going 2-for-10 with three walks, five RBI and three runs scored in St. Louis' last series against the White Sox. Alec Burleson will fill the void at first base, opening up right field for Jordan Walker.

Harper (wrist) took 20 swings off a tee Friday, but he remains without a timetable for return, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.

Harper took dry swings Thursday and has progressed to hitting off a tee. While it's unclear how close he is to returning, it's another encouraging step in his recovery from right wrist inflammation.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 7-3 win against the Angels.

Goldschmidt followed Trent Grisham's second-inning long ball with a solo blast of his own to give New York a 4-2 lead. The veteran first baseman entered the day in a mini-slump, going 0-for-10 over his previous three games. In fact, Goldschmidt has struggled for most of June -- he's batting .180 with just four RBI and two homers through 17 games this month while posting a 28.8 percent strikeout rate. Goldschmidt is still batting .303 on the campaign, however.
