Donaldson went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's 10-4 win over the White Sox.

Donaldson hit an RBI double in the second inning before going deep in the ninth off of Matt Foster. He's now collected three extra-base hits and six RBI over the last two days against the White Sox. The veteran third baseman is slashing .233/.347/.417 with 13 RBI through 29 games.

Moustakas went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo homers in Friday's 8-2 win over the Pirates.

The multi-homer game was Moustakas' first since September of 2020. He gave the Reds the lead with a solo shot off Mitch Keller in the top of the fourth inning and later capped the scoring with another homer off Heath Hembree in the seventh. He's now hitting .347 with three homers in 14 games since returning from a biceps injury in late April.

Lewis went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and two runs scored in Friday's 12-8 win over Cleveland.

Lewis' first MLB homer was a 395-foot grand slam off of Bryan Shaw that capped off an eight-run fifth inning for Minnesota. The rookie infielder is hitting .320 through 25 career at-bats. If he continues to prove that he's capable at the plate, Lewis could stay on the big league roster once Carlos Correa (finger) returns.

Segura is not in the lineup Friday against the Dodgers, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura is riding a 10-game hitting streak, homering three times and stealing a pair of bases while slashing .457/.525/.743 over that stretch. He'll get a breather Friday as Johan Camargo takes over at second base.

Longoria isn't starting Friday against the Cardinals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria returned to action Wednesday against the Rockies and went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts. He'll get a breather in Friday's series opener while Wilmer Flores starts at the hot corner and bats third.

LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI and a walk in a 15-7 win over the White Sox on Thursday.

LeMahieu began the game with a double and came around to score on a Giancarlo Stanton homer. That set the tone for the Yankees, who finished with a season-high 15 runs. LeMahieu notched his second three-hit game of the campaign and has gone 6-for-13 with six runs, four doubles and two walks over his past three contests.

Urias (abdomen) isn't starting Friday against the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive matchup as he continues to deal with abdominal discomfort. Rylan Bannon will start at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Walls was added to the Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays and will start at third base and bat ninth, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 25-year-old was originally absent from Friday's starting nine, but Yandy Diaz was a late scratch due to an illness. Walls is 1-for-22 two walks, two runs, a stolen base and nine strikeouts in his past seven contests.

Toro isn't starting Friday against the Mets.

Toro is in the midst of a slump in which he's gone 0-for-10 with two strikeouts, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight game. Eugenio Suarez will start at third base while Mike Ford serves as the designated hitter.

Anderson (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list and will start at third base Friday against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 28-year-old has been on the COVID-19 IL for the past week but has rejoined the Marlins after a one-game rehab assignment with Single-A Jupiter. Anderson has seen most of his action at third base but has also started eight games in the outfield, and he should see most of his action at the hot corner for the foreseeable future with Joey Wendle (hamstring) moving to the 10-day IL.
