Pratto went 4-for-5 with two home runs for a total of three RBI and three runs scored in a 9-7 victory over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Pratto put together the best game of his young career with a four-hit effort that included two home runs off Lucas Giolito. The rookie first baseman is slashing .209/.295/.461 in 115 at-bats this season and has a path to continued playing time with Vinnie Pasquantino sidelined due to shoulder discomfort.

Guerrero went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs.

His solo shot in the seventh inning off Michael Rucker gave the Blue Jays a bit of insurance. Guerrero is putting the finishing touches on another solid month, slashing .283/.319/.513 through 26 games in August with eight doubles and six of his 27 homers on the season.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Orioles.

Naylor's fourth-inning blast put the Guardians ahead for good. The 25-year-old has had some struggles at the plate lately -- this homer was his first extra-base hit since Aug. 13. In his last 12 games, he's gone just 7-for-39 (.179), though the slump has yet to cost him his near-everyday role. Naylor is slashing .263/.315/.459 with 16 long balls, 61 RBI, 35 runs scored and five stolen bases through 93 contests this year.

Rizzo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Angels.

Rizzo homered for the second straight game, taking Mike Mayers deep in the second inning Tuesday. This long ball was Rizzo's 30th of the season, making this the first time he's reached that threshold since 2017. He's only two homers shy of his career high, a mark he reached in three of four seasons between 2014 and 2017. In 2022, the first baseman is slashing .225/.339/.493 with 71 RBI, 71 runs scored and six stolen bases through 116 contests.

France went 3-for-4 with a homer, three runs scored and two RBI in a 9-3 win Tuesday in Detroit.

France hit a solo shot in the second and singled and scored in his next two plate appearances. He's homered in consecutive games after hitting just one long ball in his previous 24 contests. With 16 homers on the season, the All-Star is two shy of his 2021 total, when he set a career high.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Calhoun will sit for the fourth time in five games, but on three of those occasions, he's been absent from the lineup versus left-handed pitching. With southpaw Framber Valdez on the hill for Houston, the lefty-hitting Calhoun will give way in left field to the righty-hitting Bubba Thompson, who should continue to hold down the short side of a platoon.

Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Angels.

Rizzo took Jose Suarez deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning to give the Yankees a short-lived lead. The long ball was his fourth in August, though half of those came on the first two days of the month. Rizzo is one round tripper away from notching his first 30-homer season since 2017.

The Mariners reinstated White (sports hernia) from the 60-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma.

White has been on the shelf all season while recovering from the sports hernia surgery he underwent in March. After being pulled off his previous two rehab assignments in May and June following setbacks, White resumed his assignment with Tacoma on Aug. 9 and now looks to be fully healthy again after reaching the end of his latest 20-day evaluation window. Since the Mariners don't have an everyday role available for White, he'll continue to play regularly at Tacoma, where he's produced a .197/.305/.423 slash line in 82 plate appearances between his three separate rehab assignments. White had been far more productive at the plate in his most recent games and could be a candidate to join Seattle as a bench bat in September, when the roster expands from 26 to 28 men.

Pratto went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 15-7 win over the Padres.

Pratto contributed to the Royals' two biggest rallies. He earned an RBI on a fielder's choice and scored in the first inning, then added a two-run double and another run in the eighth. The first baseman finished the three-game series 4-for-12 with seven RBI, a home run and three doubles. While he's slashing just .182/.276/.382 through 36 major-league games, Pratto should have a clear path to playing time while Vinnie Pasquantino (shoulder) is out.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Tigers.

Lowe mashed one of four Texas home runs over the final four innings, which turned a blowout into a close affair. It was the first baseman's 22nd homer and sixth in the last 10 contests. During that run, he's gone 18-for-43 (.419) with 16 RBI and nine runs scored.
