Garver went 2-for-5 with a two-run double in a win over the Angels on Friday.

Drawing a second consecutive start for the first time since Aug. 9-10, Garver delivered his first multi-hit effort since July 26. In the process, the veteran snapped a 14-game RBI drought with his double, which plated Jorge Polanco and Justin Turner as part of a five-run first inning for the Mariners. Garver has now reached the 40-RBI threshold for the season and has impressively knocked 28 of his 54 hits for extra bases, but the second-highest strikeout rate of his career (31.5 percent) and a .215 BABIP have led to an abysmal .166/.286/.326 slash line.

Stanton isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Stanton will get a breather Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a run scored and three strikeouts in Friday's series opener. Aaron Judge will replace him as New York's designated hitter, opening up center field for Trent Grisham to start and bat seventh.

Rooker went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-2 win at Texas.

The Oakland designated hitter opened the game's scoring when he slugged a 416-foot solo home run off Jon Gray in the first inning. Rooker then returned in the seventh to crack another solo homer, this one travelling 397 feet, off reliever Dane Dunning. The one-time All-Star is having a career year, as he's slashing .287/.366/.575 with 33 homers, 90 RBI, 69 runs scored and seven steals in 494 plate appearances.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

O'Hearn will avoid a same-hand matchup with Austin Gomber on Friday. In place of O'Hearn, Emmanuel Rivera will play first base and Eloy Jimenez will DH.

Yoshida isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

After making nine consecutive starts at DH, Yoshida will take a seat Friday against Detroit. Rafael Devers slots in at DH while Nick Sogard plays third base.

The Rays recalled Aranda from Triple-A Durham on Friday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

The 26-year-old was activated off Durham's injured list last week after missing two months due to an oblique strain, and he's now returning to the big leagues. Aranda has seen action in 18 MLB games this season and has a .607 OPS in 52 plate appearances, though he's crushed the ball at Triple-A since returning from the injury, going 10-for-23 with four homers in six games.

Rooker went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Reds on Wednesday.

It was a banner night for the Athletics' offense, and Rooker, its most prodigious power hitter, got in on the fun with a 432-foot shot to left center in the sixth inning to extend Oakland's lead to 3-0. The blast also extended the slugger's on-base streak to eight games, a stretch in which he's hitting only .233 but has completed that figure with a .343 OBP and .467 slugging percentage across 35 plate appearances.

Alvarez went 3-for-4 with three home runs and a walk in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Phillies, finishing with three runs scored and four RBI.

Alvarez belted a two-run blast off Taijuan Walker in the fourth before launching a pair of solo shots off Michael Mercado in the seventh and eighth innings. Wednesday marked the third time in his career that Alvarez has tallied three home runs in a game and the first time he achieved the feat since September 2022. The 27-year-old has been unstoppable in August, batting .372 with eight home runs, 16 RBI, 15 runs scored and an exemplary 14:11 BB:K.

Larnach is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Larnach will give way to Manuel Margot in left field while Atlanta sends southpaw Chris Sale to the hill for the series finale. Over 90 plate appearances against lefties this season, Larnach is hitting .183/.244/.280 with four extra-base hits.

Larnach went 3-for-6 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

His RBI single in the eighth inning off Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias tied the game at 4-4, but the Twins couldn't complete the comeback. Larnach has at least three hits in three of his last five games, and through 71 plate appearances in August the 27-year-old is slashing .318/.366/.530 with five doubles, three homers, 11 RBI and 15 runs.
