Twins' Trevor Larnach: Moves to IL with wrist issue
The Twins placed Larnach on the 10-day injured list Friday with left wrist soreness, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
Larnach's season is expected to be over, and Alan Roden has been recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Larnach hasn't played since last Sunday, and he'll likely close the book on his 2026 season with a .269/.352/.436 slash line with 13 home runs, 48 RBI, 57 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 45:79 BB:K across 433 trips to the plate.

Caglianone is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

Jarren Duran LF | BOS
Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Sitting versus left-hander
Duran is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.
Sitting against left-handed starters has become Duran's new normal, and with lefty Ian Seymour on the mound for Tampa Bay on Friday, Boston will go with Roman Anthony, Nate Eaton and Wilyer Abreu from left to right in the outfield. Duran is batting just .159 with a .463 OPS across 47 trips to the plate this month.

Chase DeLauter RF | CLE
Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Returns to lineup Friday
DeLauter (wrist) is starting in right field and batting third Friday against the Athletics, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
DeLauter's sprained right wrist flared back up this week, and he was held out of action Tuesday and Wednesday against the White Sox ahead of Thursday's off day. The 24-year-old is back in action against lefty Mason Barnett for Friday's series opener. DeLauter has just three home runs since the All-Star break but does have 12 doubles, two triples and 23 walks in that span, boosting his OPS to .815 for the season.

Wade extended the Astros' lead to 3-1 in the fifth inning with a 365-foot shot off Seth Lugo, his fourth homer this season and first since Aug. 30. Wade had gone just 2-for-14 in nine games coming into the contest. Overall, he's slashing .212/.316/.364 with 19 RBI 16 runs scored over 136 plate appearances this season.

Denzel Clarke CF | ATH
Athletics' Denzel Clarke: Swipes two bases Thursday
Clarke went 1-for-2 with two steals and a walk in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Rays.
Clarke was active on the bases early, swiping second and third base after depositing a single in the third inning. The center fielder has appeared in 10 games since returning from a left hamstring strain, going just 2-for-14 (.143) with no extra-base hits or RBI. Clarke boasts significant speed and strong defensive acumen, but he's struggled mightily to find his footing offensively at the big-league level.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Goes yard in Thursday's loss
Butler went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Rays.
Butler provided the lone run for the Athletics, crushing a solo homer in the sixth inning. The outfielder has gone yard five times in his past 11 games, though he's hitting just .209 (9-for-43) during that stretch. On the year, Butler is slashing .231/.319/.390 with 17 homers, 59 RBI, 58 runs and 10 stolen bases in 145 contests.

Walker Jenkins CF | MIN
Twins' Walker Jenkins: Clubs homer in loss
Jenkins went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
He was the one to force extras, taking Ben Joyce deep in the ninth inning to tie the game at 3-3. Jenkins had gone 0-for-16 over his previous six games. The outfield prospect is still adjusting to the majors -- even with this big game, he's batting just .143 with a .556 OPS, two homers, seven RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base over his first 17 contests for the Twins.

Joshua Lowe LF | LAA
Angels' Josh Lowe: Picks up steal
Lowe went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Twins.
Lowe doubled and swiped a bag in the ninth inning, but the Angels weren't able to manufacture a walk-off win in that frame. After hitting safely in four of his last five games, the outfielder is now batting .212 with a .646 OPS, 10 steals, 12 home runs, 29 RBI, 28 runs scored and nine doubles across 319 plate appearances this season.
