Raley was called up from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

Raley is set to make his season debut with the Rays after being recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday. He'll fill one of the roster spots that were left when Manuel Margot (knee) and Kevin Kiermaier (hip) were placed on the 10-day injured list. The outfielder has produced a .299/.374/.575 slash line with seven homers, 25 RBI, 14 runs and two stolen based over 87 at-bats with Durham this season.

Vaughn went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in a victory versus the Blue Jays on Monday.

Vaughn didn't waste any time making his mark on the contest, belting a run-scoring double in the first inning. He followed with three additional hits, including a solo homer in the fourth. This was Vaughn's third four-hit performance of the campaign, and he's slashing an impressive .389/.444/.500 with 10 runs, nine RBI and an 8:10 BB:K over 17 games in June.

Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a 4-2 win over the Rays.

Rizzo gave the Yankees an early lead, going deep to right field in the first inning. He added a sixth-inning single but struck out in his other two at-bats. Rizzo appears to have regained his power stroke, smashing four home runs and driving in eight runs over his past five games.

Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI in Monday's loss to the Red Sox.

That's three straight multi-hit efforts for Torkelson, which has pushed his season batting average from .178 up to .198. It's still a rough number overall for the rookie, but fantasy managers are at least seeing signs that the 2020 No. 1 overall pick is starting to figure things out at the plate. Torkelson's fantasy stock should continue to climb as he gains confidence at the MLB level.

Santana isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Santana will get a breather after he went 1-for-5 with three walks over the last two games. Hunter Dozier is shifting to first base while Kyle Isbel draws the start in right field.

Rizzo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Sunday in a loss to the Blue Jays.

Rizzo was initially given the day off, but he came in to pinch hit for Kyle Higashioka in the eighth inning and lined a solo homer to right field. He received another at-bat in the ninth but grounded out to end the game. Rizzo has gone deep in three of his past four games and is batting .545 (6-for-11) with seven RBI and a stolen base over that stretch.

The Mariners recalled Padlo from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

With Seattle needing to reduce its pitching staff to 13 men ahead of Monday's MLB-imposed deadline, Padlo will join the big club as a replacement for reliever Roenis Elias, who was designated for assignment. Padlo will give Seattle a righty-hitting option off the bench, but he may not even receive a look as a short-side platoon player while he's up with the big club.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

That's consecutive two-hit games for Torkelson, who may finally be starting to break out. The rookie is still batting just .190 with a 26.5 percent strikeout rate, so it will take a little while for his overall stat line to look a little better. With the Tigers sitting at 26-40, Torkelson along with fellow top rookie Riley Greene should see plenty of playing time in a rebuilding campaign. Both players have the talent to post nice fantasy numbers the rest of the way, though growing pains are likely.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Sunday that Casas is receiving regular treatment for his sprained right ankle, but the 22-year-old is not yet close to returning to the lineup at Triple-A Worcester, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Casas is conducting his rehab at the Red Sox's spring training facility in Fort Myers, Fla. and could require a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League before he makes his return to the Triple-A lineup. Though a promotion to the big leagues could happen at some point in 2022, Casas' lingering ankle injury makes it unlikely that he'll be ready to make his MLB debut before the All-Star break.

Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and two walks in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Yankees.

Guerrero set the tone for Sunday's offensive outburst with his two-run shot off of Luis Severino in the first inning. He would reach base three more times and score another run in the seventh. Over his last 10 games, Guerrero is 16-for-41 (.390) with four homers and five multi-hit performances. After a poor May (.681 OPS in 26 games), the 23-year-old has brought his slash line back to .267/.355/.510 through 279 plate appearances.
