Rizzo (forearm) could be activated from the 60-day injured list when rosters expand Sunday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Rizzo has gone 2-for-8 with a home run and two walks in four rehab games with Double-A Somerset, serving as the designated hitter twice before playing first base the last two contests. He could play a full nine innings at first base Friday and rejoin the Yankees shortly after that. With the club struggling for production at first base, Rizzo should immediately become the primary option there, at least versus right-handed pitching.

The Royals placed Pasquantino (thumb) on the 10-day injured list Friday.

Pasquantino was diagnosed with a fractured right thumb Friday and given a 6-8 week timeline for his return, ending the first baseman's 2024 season unless Kansas City makes a deep playoff run. The Royals recalled Nick Loftin from Triple-A Omaha to take Pasquantino's spot on the 26-man roster. Loftin and Salvador Perez should handle most of the work at first base down the stretch.

Tellez (undisclosed) will start at first base and bat fifth in Friday's game against the Guardians.

Tellez had to depart the Pirates' last game Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, but he's ready to go after Thursday's team off day. He has slashed .276/.304/.434 with a couple home runs so far in August.

Arraez is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Tampa Bay.

It's a routine day off for Arraez, who had started each of the Padres' last four games and 11 of their last 12. Manny Machado is getting a turn in the designated hitter slot, while Donovan Solano will enter the lineup at third base and bat second.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.

The 29-year-old slugger took Ryne Nelson deep in the second inning to get the Mets on the board. Alonso has picked up the pace in August, slashing .253/.345/.505 with seven homers and 17 RBI in 26 games, and he sits one long ball short of his fourth straight 30-homer campaign and the fifth of his career.

Brown went 2-for-5 with three RBI in a loss to the Reds on Thursday.

Brown bookended the Athletics' offensive output in a wild 10-9 loss, opening the scoring with a first-inning knock that plated Brent Rooker and closing it out by driving in Rooker and JJ Bleday in the ninth to snap a 7-7 tie. The Reds will be glad to be rid of Brown, who pummeled their pitching staff for four hits, including two home runs, and seven total RBI over the final two games of the series. It's been a resurgent month for Brown overall, as Thursday's production pushed his August slash line to a stellar .305/.379/.475 across 66 plate appearances.

Pasquantino will miss the next 6-8 weeks after being diagnosed with a fractured right thumb.

Pasquantino suffered the injury during Thursday's game in Houston on a collision at first base. While he could potentially return if the Royals make a deep postseason run, it's likelier that the 26-year-old won't be seen again until spring training. It's a devastating blow to a Royals team that's fighting for a division title, and a major hit for Pasquantino's fantasy managers as well. Nick Pratto or Nick Loftin are options to be called up from Triple-A Omaha to fill in at first base, and Kansas City might also give Salvador Perez more action at the position while Freddy Fermin catches.

Bauers is not in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Reds.

It's the second straight time he's been out of the lineup against a righty (and third time overall) after he had started each of the previous three contests versus right-handers. Bauers could be back in there for the nightcap, but in the afternoon game the Brewers will go with Rhys Hoskins at first base and Gary Sanchez in the designated hitter spot.

Pasquantino underwent X-rays on his hand following Thursday's game against the Astros, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Pasquantino was forced to exit the game after a collision at first base. Manager Matt Quatraro did not yet have the results of the X-rays to provide a potential timeline for Pasquantino's return.

Olson went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Philadelphia.

Olson went deep in the third and sixth innings to give Atlanta a 4-0 lead, but it didn't last. The first baseman's power has been on full display in August -- he's batting .265 (27-for-102) with eight homers and 26 RBI over 27 contests this month. While Olson is nowhere near the pace that saw him slug 54 homers over 162 games in 2023, he's got a good chance of reaching the 30-homer mark for the fifth straight full-length campaign. He's slashing .234/.313/.447 with 25 homers, 76 RBI, 65 runs scored, 30 doubles and a triple over 134 contests this season.
