O'Hearn went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Mets.

O'Hearn has gone 7-for-21 (.333) with four RBI and two doubles over his last six games. The 30-year-old had seen a lot of time at first base in recent weeks, but the resurgence of Ryan Mountcastle has forced manager Brandon Hyde to get creative with where O'Hearn fits. He's made his last two starts in right field, though there's also a need to fit Anthony Santander and Colton Cowser into the mix on occasion. O'Hearn has a .306/.344/.513 slash line with nine home runs, two steals, 37 RBI and 27 runs scored through 209 plate appearances this year.

Raley (bruised knee) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Tigers.

Raley exited Wednesday's game with a right knee contusion and has not played since then. Harold Ramirez gets the start at designated hitter while batting fifth.

Abreu is not in Saturday's lineup against the Yankees.

Abreu hasn't had a day off since June 23. He is hitting .216 with two home runs over his last 10 games. Grae Kessinger is starting at first base and hitting eighth.

Guerrero went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Friday's 7-3 win over the Red Sox.

The first baseman took James Paxton deep in the first inning for a solo shot, one of five Blue Jays homers on the night. Winning the Home Run Derby during the All-Star break has perked up Guerrero's power output, as five of his 18 long balls this season have come in the 20 games since, but his .230/.341/.473 slash line during that stretch remains something of a disappointment.

France went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a pair of walks in Friday's 9-7 win over the Angels.

France snapped a 35-game homer drought with his first-inning blast, which set an early tone in favor of the Mariners. He hit just .200 with a .515 OPS during his power outage. The 29-year-old's power has taken a step back this year -- he's swatted just eight long balls in 107 contests with a .122 ISO. The first baseman has a .252/.327/.374 slash line with 43 RBI, 58 runs scored, a stolen base and 26 doubles.

The Angels outrighted Padlo to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Padlo was designated for assignment last weekend and passed through waivers unclaimed. The 27-year-old infielder is off the 40-man roster but will remain part of the Angels organization.

Naylor, who was placed on the injured list earlier Friday, was diagnosed with a right oblique strain and is expected to miss 3-to-6 weeks, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Naylor began experiencing tightness in his right side earlier this week, and an MRI taken Thursday revealed the strained oblique. David Fry could fill in as the Guardians' primary first baseman, with Gabriel Arias representing another option at the position.

Raley (knee) is out of the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

Raley fouled a ball off his right knee in Wednesday's series finale against the Yankees and is considered day-to-day. Harold Ramirez will serve as the Rays' designated hitter Friday in Detroit as Randy Arozarena, Jose Siri and Josh Lowe start across the outfield.

Arias is not in the lineup Friday versus the White Sox.

Brayan Rocchio will start at shortstop and bat seventh for Cleveland. Arias has picked it up offensively in recent weeks, but the 23-year-old is slashing just .206/.303/.321 across 80 total major-league games this season.

Cleveland acquired Calhoun from the Dodgers on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Calhoun has posted a shiny .297/.376/.530 slash line with nine home runs and 46 RBI in 58 games (266 plate appearances) this season between the Triple-A affiliates of the Yankees and Dodgers this season. The Guardians will add the 35-year-old outfielder to the MLB roster, and it's possible he's called upon to help replace the injured Josh Naylor (oblique) in the lineup.
