Garver went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.

Garver launched his 14th homer of the season in the seventh inning, extending the Mariners' lead to 3-1 at the time. The single and round tripper he generated snapped an 0-for-14 skid that had encompassed his previous four games and served as his third multi-hit effort of September. Despite Wednesday's success, Garver is limping to the finish line of the 2024 regular season with a .171/.286/.333 slash line across 426 plate appearances.

Pasquantino (thumb) took batting practice on the field Thursday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Pasquantino is just over three weeks removed from surgery to repair a fractured right thumb, a procedure which carried a projected 6-to-8 week timetable. That he's already taking what looked to be full swings in batting practice seems to suggest he has a shot to beat that timeline, although the Royals would need to qualify for the postseason and probably advance at least one round in order for Pasquantino to become a realistic option.

Kavadas is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the White Sox.

For the second straight day and third time in four games, Kavadas is not in the lineup versus a right-hander. Angels manager Ron Washington has leaned more towards having both of his catchers in the lineup lately, with one of them behind the plate and the other serving as the designated hitter. In Thursday's series finale, it will be Logan O'Hoppe catching and Matt Thaiss at DH.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Benintendi will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Gavin Sheets and Nicky Lopez while the Angels send southpaw Tyler Anderson to the hill. Zach DeLoach will fill in for Benintendi in left field.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Lopez typically serves as the White Sox's leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching, but he'll hit the bench for the fourth time in five games while Chicago opposes another lefty (Tyler Anderson) in the series finale with the Angels. Miguel Vargas will serve as Chicago's table setter Thursday, while Jacob Amaya takes Lopez's usual spot at shortstop.

Adams (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Adams hasn't played in a week due to a sore right knee. While there's no indication an injured list stint could be in the offing, it's also unclear when he might be ready to return to action. Gustavo Campero is covering right field again for the Angels.

Schanuel (leg) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Schanuel departed Wednesday's contest when a foul ball off his right lower leg resulted in a painful contusion. He's considered day-to-day. Brandon Drury will fill in at first base for the Angels in Thursday's matinee.

Carpenter is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

With southpaw Tyler Alexander toeing the rubber for the Rays, the left-handed-hitting Carpenter will take a seat for the series finale. Andy Ibanez will enter the Detroit lineup as a replacement for Carpenter and will serve as the Tigers' leadoff hitter.

Sheets is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Angels.

The White Sox are facing a lefty for the second day in a row and Sheets will again begin the contest on the bench. He did pinch hit (and struck out) in Wednesday's game. Miguel Vargas is in the designated hitter slot Thursday.

Lee is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Lee and Chuckie Robinson have alternated starts at catcher over the team's last 14 contests. It will be Robinson behind the plate as the White Sox attempt to complete a sweep.
