The Angels recalled Kavadas from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Kavadas' time in the majors will likely be brief, as he is filling in for Yoan Moncada (personal) while the former takes his U.S. citizenship test Tuesday. Kavadas owns an .821 OPS in Triple-A and will be on the bench for Tuesday's contest against Tampa Bay.

The Blue Jays selected Kennedy's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Since signing a minor-league deal with the Jays in mid-July, Kennedy has slashed just .207/.309/.259 with five RBI across 68 plate appearances with Buffalo. Despite his poor recent output, he'll join the major-league roster to provide Toronto with a glove capable of covering all three bases and left field. The Blue Jays designated catcher Ali Sanchez for assignment in a corresponding move.

Santana is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mets.

It marks the second time across the last three contests and fourth time over the last 12 games that Santana has been out of the lineup. The 39-year-old is slashing just .198/.265/.280 since the start of June and could continue ceding starts to C.J. Kayfus. It will be Kayfus handling first base and batting eighth for Cleveland on Tuesday.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and three total runs scored in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Monday.

Goldschmidt led off the game with a 419-foot blast to left field. The long ball was his first since June 19 -- a span of 31 games. Goldschmidt batted just .212 with only six RBI during the long power drought, but he's continued to hold down a near-everyday role at first base of late, starting seven of the Yankees' past eight games.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Twins.

That's consecutive two-hit games for Torkelson, who has managed to boost his season batting average up to .240. In 17 games following the All-Star break, the first baseman is batting .269. While the numbers don't jump off the page, the .240 average would be a new career best for Torkelson, as would his current .330 on-base percentage. The 25-year-old continues to deliver most of his fantasy value via his power stroke, as he's slugged 23 homers across 108 games.

Elko (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

Elko will shift to Triple-A following his return to health. He'd been on the shelf since July 11 after suffering a right knee sprain and was struggling through an 0-for-16 stretch at the plate prior to going down with the injury.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Monday that Mountcastle will not be activated from the 60-day injured list during the team's series against the Phillies that runs through Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Mountcastle is slashing .391/.440/.783 with two home runs and three doubles in his first six rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk, but he will remain in the minors for the time being. The Orioles begin a homestand Friday, and Mountcastle seems to have a good chance to return to the active roster that day. He's been shelved since late May with a right hamstring strain.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Mountcastle (hamstring) won't be reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener in Philadelphia, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Before receiving Sunday off, Mountcastle had appeared in six rehab games for Triple-A Norfolk, making four starts at first base and two at designated hitter while slashing .391/.440/.783 with two home runs and three doubles. Though Mountcastle hasn't experienced any setbacks with his right hamstring during his assignment, Mansolino said that the Orioles want the 28-year-old to get some more at-bats in at Triple-A before he rejoins the big club for the first time since late May. Mountcastle may not be activated during the series with Philadelphia, but he still appears on track to return from the IL at some point during the upcoming week.

Tellez will start at first base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Tellez will crack the lineup for a fourth straight game, as the Rangers are reopening a regular role for him against right-handed pitching with Josh Jung (calf) having been on the bench for each of those contests. If Jung is able to avoid a stint on the injured list or if Jake Burger (quadriceps) is activated in the coming days, Tellez could be squeezed out of a regular lineup spot before long.

Mayo will start at first base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Mayo has been one of the main beneficiaries in the wake of the Orioles' active trade deadline, during which Baltimore shipped out Ryan O'Hearn, Cedric Mullins and Ramon Laureano. The rookie will make a third straight start at first base Sunday, and he could retain a regular spot in the lineup even if Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) returns from the 60-day injured list during the upcoming week. The Orioles could install Mountcastle as their everyday designated hitter, which would keep first base open for Mayo, who is slashing .241/.389/.517 with two home runs and a 6:6 BB:K since the All-Star break.
