Guerrero is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

There has been nothing yet to suggest a new injury is in play, so it seems Guerrero is simply getting a mental and physical break after an 0-for-5, three-strikeout showing in Thursday's series finale against the Yankees. Will Wagner will start at first base and bat eighth against right-hander Kyle Hendricks.

Contreras (wrist) is starting at first base and batting cleanup Friday against the Cubs.

Contreras was held out of the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates due to a left wrist contusion, but he's good to go following Thursday's team off day. The 33-year-old has been productive at the plate since the start of June with nine doubles, five homers and an .878 OPS in 28 games.

Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

The 25-year-old started the previous four games and has been a lineup regular since returning from lower-back inflammation in early June, but Noelvi Marte's (oblique) activation from the injured list Friday leaves Cincinnati with a crowded infield. Encarnacion-Strand has a .723 OPS since coming back from his injury and could be the odd man out for the Reds, though he still seems likely to receive semi-regular starts.

Steer (hand) is starting at first base and batting fifth Friday against the Phillies.

Steer had X-rays on his right hand come back negative after being hit by a pitch Wednesday during the conclusion of a suspended game, and he's been cleared to start Friday's series opener in Philadelphia. The 27-year-old finished June strong and is batting .408 (20-for-49) with three doubles, a triple, five homers and two stolen bases across his past 13 contests.

Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 11-7 loss to the Nationals.

Torkelson got the scoring started for Detroit in the first inning with his 19th home run of the season. It also bumped the first baseman up to 55 RBI, which is good for second on the team behind All-Star starter Riley Greene's 69. Torkelson is only batting .234, and he's striking out a little more than 23 percent of the time, but he delivers his fantasy value from his ability to put the ball over the wall and drive in runs.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 6-2 win over the White Sox.

Freeman opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning and plated the Dodgers' next two runs with another two-bagger in the third. This was Freeman's third multi-hit effort over his last four games. The first baseman is at a .312/.382/.507 slash line with 10 home runs, 47 RBI, 45 runs scored and no stolen bases over 75 games this season. He's also collected 23 doubles, which has him tied for third in the majors through Thursday's action.

Schanuel went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Thursday's 5-1 win over Atlanta.

The 23-year-old first baseman clubbed his eighth long ball of the season with a second-inning shot off Atlanta right-hander Bryce Elder. Schanuel has settled in as the Angels' everyday man at the cold corner this year, starting 83 of the team's first 86 games. Over his last 188 plate appearances, Schanuel is slashing .286/.382/.460 with six homers, 10 doubles, 22 RBI and two stolen bases.

Kayfus was removed from Thursday's game with Triple-A Columbus due to a knee contusion, SI.com reports.

Kayfus suffered the injury in a rundown early in Thursday's game and left immediately. Despite the scare, his exit was deemed precautionary, and he appears to have avoided a serious issue. Kayfus has had an impressive year, hitting .295/.384/.565 across 224 plate appearances and could be ready for his big-league debut at some point this summer.

The Rays optioned Mead to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

With Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) returning from the 60-day IL on Thursday, Mead will end up as the odd man out of a spot in the Rays' infield unit. The 24-year-old slashed .225/.320/.342 with eight RBI and 14 runs scored through 128 plate appearances during his time in the majors, and he'll now serve as organizational depth at Triple-A.

Goldschmidt is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Toronto.

Goldschmidt had started at first base in five of the past six contests for the Yankees, but he'll grab a seat for Thursday's series finale. Ben Rice is handling first base and batting second.
