Schanuel went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

After sitting out Thursday's game due to tightness in his left calf, Schanuel returned to his usual spot at first base and looked pretty healthy when he doubled in the eighth inning and then swiped third base. The 23-year-old has had a productive beginning to July, slashing .286/.354/.381 over 10 contests with a homer, a steal, three runs and seven RBI.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a stolen base across both ends of Friday's doubleheader split with the White Sox.

The veteran first baseman clubbed the game-winning homer in the matinee, breaking a 2-2 tie by taking Tyler Alexander deep in the sixth inning, and while Santana began the nightcap on the bench, he drew a walk as a pinch hitter and swiped a bag in the 10th inning. Four of his six steals on the year, and three of his 11 long balls, have come in his last 20 games, a stretch in which Santana is slashing just .171/.275/.314 with nine runs and 10 RBI.

Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.

Smith's solo shot in the fifth inning sparked a five-run rally for the Giants. This was his second homer with the team and the first at home. He's struggled with consistency at the plate lately, going just 3-for-21 (.143) over eight games in July so far. He's at a .244/.322/.385 slash line through 90 plate appearances this season while working in a timeshare with Wilmer Flores at first base.

Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

Kurtz sparked the Athletics' comeback effort with his homer in the sixth inning. While he's had a penchant for clutch blasts this year, he struck out swinging in the ninth, ending a rally one run short of tying the game. The first baseman also picked up the first steal of his career Friday, which is just the second theft in his time as a professional. In other words, don't count on him for speed. Kurtz has delivered just fine with power alone, slashing .251/.330/.543 with 16 homers, 42 RBI, 30 runs scored, eight doubles and one triple over 56 contests.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Athletics.

Guerrero's first hit of the game was the 1,000th of his career, making him the youngest player in Blue Jays history to reach that mark. He's been a little quiet at the plate to begin July, going 9-for-36 (.250) with no home runs, two RBI and a 7:7 BB:K over his first nine games this month. Overall, the first baseman has a .279/.384/.439 slash line with 12 home runs, 46 RBI, 57 runs scored and five steals across 92 contests this season.

Burger (quad) said after Friday's win over Houston that he expects to play in Saturday's contest, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Burger had to come out of Friday's game after injuring his left quad while running to first base in the fifth inning, but it doesn't seem like the damage will be enough for him to miss any starts. The 29-year-old has been hot since returning from an oblique injury July 2, going 10-for-35 (.286) with a home run, six RBI and six runs scored over nine games.

Burger was removed from Friday's game against the Astros with left quad discomfort, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

It looked like Burger twisted his ankle while trying to beat out a throw to first base in the fifth inning, but the issue seems to be in his upper leg instead. He initially remained in the game but was pulled when the Rangers took the field in the sixth. His ability to stay in the game immediately after injuring himself could suggest the damage is minor, but the Rangers will likely provide an official update on his condition soon.

The White Sox placed Elko on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right knee sprain.

Elko suffered the injury during the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus Cleveland, and he'll now officially remain out until at least shortly after the All-Star break. Will Robertson will come up from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the open spot on Chicago's bench.

Schanuel (calf) will start at first base and bat second Friday against the Diamondbacks, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Calf tightness prevented Schanuel from appearing in Thursday's contest, but the issue seems to have subsided following a day of rest. Now back in the lineup, the 23-year-old will aim to finish the first half strong after going 9-for-38 (.237) to begin the month of July.

The Pirates designated Gorski for assignment Friday.

Gorski has been on the shelf with an undisclosed injury since May 23, and it's unclear when he'll be back in action. Friday's move opens up a spot for Yohan Ramirez on the 40-man roster.
