Busch went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Friday's 10-0 win over the Brewers.

Busch had the biggest hit of the game, a second-inning grand slam that put the Cubs on cruise control. This was his sixth homer of the season and his first since April 19 versus the Diamondbacks. He's gone just 5-for-29 (.172) over his last eight games, though that cool-off was expected after a blistering run over the middle of April. Overall, Busch is batting .278 with an .894 OPS, 19 RBI, 16 runs scored, two stolen bases, seven doubles and a triple over 31 contests.

Manager Alex Cora said Casas suffered a significant knee injury during Friday's game against the Twins, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Casas stepped on first base awkwardly while trying to beat out a throw in the second inning. He left the field on a stretcher and was transported to a hospital. The Red Sox will know more about the extent of his injury Saturday, but it doesn't seem like the 25-year-old will be back in the lineup anytime soon. Romy Gonzalez will likely take over as Boston's primary first baseman going forward.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Rays.

Goldschmidt was the man responsible for all of Friday's scoring, belting a three-run shot off Mason Montgomery in the fifth inning. Goldschmidt is up to three home runs on the season, two of which have come in back-to-back games. He's recorded at least one hit in five of his last six games, going 8-for-23 with six runs scored and seven RBI over that span.

Casas (leg) was removed from Friday's game against the Twins in the second inning with an apparent leg injury, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Casas stepped awkwardly on top of first base while trying to beat out a throw and fell hard to the ground. He was down for several minutes before being stretchered off the field, and an update from the Red Sox should be provided after he undergoes further testing. Romy Gonzalez pinch ran for Casas and is in the game at first base for the top of the third inning.

The Angels recalled Kavadas from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Kavadas has gotten off to a strong start in the minors, slashing .248/.376/.450 with five homers, 20 RBI and 16 runs scored through 133 plate appearances. He'll return to the Angels to fill the void left by Mike Trout's (knee) move to the injured list, though the 26-year-old is likely to come off the bench most of the time while with the big club.

The Rangers optioned Burger to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Burger has hit just .190 with a 29.6 percent strikeout rate across his first 108 plate appearances this season, so the Rangers have elected to send him to Round Rock for a while to get his swing in order. The expectation is that he will eventually regain his starting job at first base with the big club, but there's no timeline for when that might happen. For now, the Rangers could use a combination of Blaine Crim, Josh Smith, Joc Pederson and Dustin Harris at first base.

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

Crim has slashed .313/.365/.565 with seven home runs this season at Round Rock, although it's his third year there and he will turn 28 next month. He could see regular reps at first base while Jake Burger tries to get his swing straightened out at Round Rock.

France went 3-for-5 with a double in Thursday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

France has been red hot at the plate recently, going 12-for-25 (.480) with four doubles and a home run during his current six-game hitting streak. The 30-year-old first baseman is now slashing .281/.352/.421 to start the year with three homers, 18 RBI and 14 runs scored across 128 plate appearances.

Vaughn went 1-for-3 with a run scored Thursday against the Brewers.

Vaughn recorded a single in the sixth inning to extend his hitting streak to a modest four games. However, the good news ends there, as he is still hitting only .167 with a career-worst 23.1 percent strikeout rate. Vaughn also has only one extra-base hit in his last nine games, causing his ISO to dip to .105 across 121 plate appearances on the campaign.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.

Guerrero played the role of hero Thursday, crushing a go-ahead three-run jack in the eighth inning to power Toronto to victory. The All-Star first baseman has now logged a hit in six of his last seven games, and he entered Thursday with an elite 54.4 percent hard-hit rate in 2025. While Guerrero is batting a middling .255 (12-for-47) over his last 13 games, he's supplied power with four home runs, two doubles and nine RBI during that stretch.
