Vaughn went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI on Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Vaughn took Kevin Gausman yard in the opening frame to record his sixth home run of the season. After his solo shot, Vaughn drove in an additional run on a single in the fifth inning. Across his last 10 games, Vaughn has delivered five multi-hit performances -- good for a .359 batting average -- with two home runs, nine RBI and seven runs scored. Through 121 total plate appearances, he appears to be on the path to a breakout campaign by maintaining a .291/.339/.509 line.

France went 2-for-3 with an RBI, a run and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Orioles.

France walked and scored in the first inning before adding another single in the next frame and an RBI base knock in the top of the third. The multi-hit effort was his third in the past four games and his hitting streak has now reached 12 straight contests. Over that stretch, France has batted .447 with two homers, 11 RBI and eight runs.

Clemens went 0-for-3 with a walk in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Clemens was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Monday and waited until the second game Tuesday to make his MLB debut. The 26-year-old replaced Robbie Grossman (neck) on the active roster, with the latter hitting the 10-day injured list Monday. Clemens will likely occupy a bench role while he's in the majors, which limits his fantasy potential for the time being.

Calhoun will start in right field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Not only will the lefty-hitting Calhoun stick in the lineup even with a southpaw (Ryan Yarbrough) on the bump for Tampa Bay, but he'll find himself in a prime run-producing spot. Calhoun's inclusion in the starting nine in an unfavorable matchup is a testament to just how much his stock has climbed after a miserable April had previously put him at risk of moving into a part-time role. After plating three more runs and reaching base three times in Monday's 9-5 win, Calhoun is now sitting on a monstrous 1.057 OPS in May heading into the final game of the month.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

After going a collective 7-for-19 with three extra-base hits while starting in each of the past five games, the lefty-hitting Lowe will exit the lineup with southpaw Ryan Yarbrough on the hill for Tampa Bay. Sam Huff steps in for Lowe at first base.

Guerrero (wrist) will start at first base and bat third in Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Guerrero was on the bench for Sunday's 11-10 win over the Angels while he contended with a sore left wrist, but he felt well enough to make a pinch-hitting appearance in the Blue Jays' victory. With the benefit of an off day Monday, Guerrero's wrist no longer looks to be much of a concern as the Blue Jays kick off a six-game homestand.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

With southpaw Daniel Lynch on the hill for Kansas City, the Guardians will counter with a lineup that includes eight right-handed-hitting options while the lefty-hitting Naylor and Steven Kwan head to the bench. Owen Miller will fill in for Naylor at first base, while Jose Ramirez gets a day out of the field and serves as Cleveland's designated hitter.

Santana is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

With the Royals giving Whit Merrifield a day out of the field and having him serve as the team's designated hitter, Santana will retreat to the bench while Hunter Dozier covers first base. Santana's move to the bench comes after he went 1-for-18 with three walks against five strikeouts in the Royals' last five games.

Pasquantino was named the International League Player of the Week on Tuesday.

Pasquantino earned the weekly award with force, going 11-for-23 with four home runs, 11 RBI, six runs scored, two doubles and a triple in six games versus Triple-A Louisville. He had been struggling a bit in the batting average department, but a two-week surge has him up to a robust .303/.396/.667 slash line with 15 homers, 51 RBI, 36 runs scored and three stolen bases in 46 games with Omaha this season, his first year at the highest minor-league level.

Mountcastle went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and four runs scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the Red Sox.

Mountcastle played a big role in the blowout win, posting his first extra-base hits since May 22 in the process. The 25-year-old has been fairly steady in the heart of the Orioles' order this year. He has a .268/.298/.412 slash line with six homers, 20 RBI, 17 runs scored, four doubles and two stolen bases through 161 plate appearances. Monday marked the first time he's gone multiple games without striking out since he did so in three straight contests in the first week of the campaign.
