Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 10-8 extra-inning loss to the Nationals.

Goldschmidt tried to spark a comeback for the Cardinals after they fell behind in the top of the 10th inning, but his homer was the team's last scoring play of the day. The first baseman has homered twice and added two doubles over his last five contests, though he's also struck out seven times in that span. On the year, he's at a .229/.288/.382 slash line through 99 games while adding 15 homers, 40 RBI, 49 runs scored, 16 doubles and six stolen bases. He's been a bit better in July, slashing .244/.262/.463 over 19 games this month.

Mountcastle is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against San Diego.

Mountcastle will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout after going 0-for-3 with two RBI in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Padres. Ryan O'Hearn will start at first base Saturday while Heston Kjerstad serves as the designated hitter.

Bell went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Brewers.

He took Janson Junk deep in the ninth inning, giving the Marlins their third long ball of the game and giving Bell his third straight game with a homer and fourth straight game with multiple hits. The switch-hitting first baseman, and pending free agent, is doing what he can to improve his trade value as the deadline approaches -- over his last 13 contests he's slashing .300/.375/.620 with five home runs and nine RBI.

Guerrero went 1-for-2 with three walks and a run scored in Friday's win over Texas.

The Rangers tried to pitch around the one consistent threat in the Toronto lineup, but it didn't help them in the end. Guerrero has hit safely in eight straight games, batting .464 (13-for-28) over that stretch with two doubles, five homers and eight RBI, and he's boosted his slash line on the season to .297/.370/.487 with 18 home runs and 62 RBI in 102 contests.

Singleton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Dodgers.

Singleton has been out of the Astros' lineup for only two games in July but has struggled considerably by hitting .221 with a 29.3 percent strikeout rate across 68 at-bats. He did manage his first home run in 13 starts Friday, bringing his total on the campaign to eight. The Astros haven't shown any signs of benching Singleton, though his playing time could be in danger once Kyle Tucker (shin) is able to return.

Diaz went 1-for-5 against the Reds on Friday.

Diaz missed seven games while on the restricted list with an undisclosed personal issue. He returned to his customary leadoff position and now has at least one hit in nine of his 12 starts in July to go along with six RBI and four runs scored.

Yepez went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's extra-inning win over St. Louis.

Yepez scored runs in the second and fourth innings before knocking an RBI double in the fifth. He also drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to tie the game in the seventh and force the game to extras. Yepez had a 15-game hitting streak to begin his Nationals career before going 0-for-3 on Thursday. After his three-hit night Friday, he's now slashing .375/.423/.609 with 11 extra-base hits through 71 plate appearances.

Schanuel went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

Schanuel is 8-for-23 (.348) with two homers over eight games since the All-Star break. The Angels have started to hit him lower in the lineup -- he's batted fifth or lower in three of the last four games after routinely having the first baseman in the top third of the order earlier in the season. He's at a middling .246/.333/.367 slash line with 10 homers, 36 RBI, 37 runs scored, 11 doubles and four stolen bases over 96 contests.

Manager Dave Roberts said after Friday's game that he doesn't expect Freeman (personal) to return to the Dodgers before the end of their series against Houston this weekend, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Freeman was a late scratch from Friday's lineup, allowing him to travel back home to tend to a family emergency. It remains unclear if the Dodgers will move the first baseman onto the family emergency list, but the chances of him playing this weekend seem to be low either way. Cavan Biggio will serve as Los Angeles' primary first baseman while Freeman is away.

Tellez was removed from Friday's game due to back spasms.

Tellez was hit in the hand by a pitch during the first inning, but his removal in the third frame was apparently due to problems with his back. The Pirates are officially labeling him as day-to-day.
