Torkelson went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Twins.

Torkelson had been hitless across his past three games, but he snapped out of the funk in a big way Monday. The three-hit effort was the first of the 22-year-old's MLB career, and it was just the seventh multi-hit performance of his rookie season through 42 games. It's mostly been a struggle for Torkelson, who's batting just .194 overall, but the talent is there for a breakout to come at any point.

White (groin), who went 1-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Las Vegas on Sunday, has reached safely in four straight games for the Rainiers.

The rehabbing infielder is still sitting on a .136 average and .406 OPS during his seven-game rehab stint with the Rainiers, but he's now reached safely in four straight and doesn't appear to have endured any physical setbacks thus far. White is carrying a bloated 30.8 percent strikeout rate during that span, however, shining a light on one of his career-long Achilles heels.

Clemens was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Clemens will join the Tigers ahead of their five-game series versus the Twins, setting him up to make his major-league debut in the coming days. Over 184 at-bats in Triple-A this season, he's produced a .283 average with eight homers, 31 RBI, 27 runs and three stolen bases. Clemens will take the spot of Robbie Grossman (neck), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

France went 2-for-5 with a two-run single and a run in a win over the Astros on Saturday.

France put the final runs of the night on the board with his fifth-inning knock. The red-hot infielder now boasts a 10-game hitting streak during which he's compiled six multi-hit efforts on his way to a .439/.489/.707 slash line.

Guerrero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels due to soreness in his left wrist, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Guerrero was originally slated to serve as the designated hitter in Sunday's series finale, but he's instead absent from the lineup due to the wrist issue. The 23-year-old is 4-for-16 with two home runs, a double, three walks and three RBI over his past four contests, and it's unclear when the injury first surfaced. He should be considered day-to-day while Cavan Biggio starts at first base in his place.

Dalbec went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore.

Dalbec pinch hit for Franchy Cordero and broke a 3-3 tie with just his second homer of the season and first since April 10. He also had a hit in the nightcap, giving him at least one knock in three straight games. Relegated to starting against left-handers and an occasional righty, Dalbec's playing time is scattered, and he isn't helping fantasy teams at this time.

Calhoun went 3-for-6 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Athletics.

Calhoun has reached base safely in 17 straight games, slashing .397/.451/.778 with 11 extra-base hits, six walks and 18 runs scored during that stretch. The 34-year-old outfielder raised his OPS to .803, his highest mark since the end of the 2020 season.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-4 win over Oakland.

Lowe's been a new hitter since being held out of the lineup Wednesday. In the three games since, he's 6-for-11 with a home run, triple, double, four RBI and four runs scored. The power (.373 slugging, .106 ISO) is still nowhere near what one expects from a corner infielder due to just six extra-base hits over his first 38 games.

Torkelson isn't starting Saturday's game against the Guardians.

Torkelson was initially slated to get a day off Friday before the game was postponed, and he'll ultimately be out of the lineup Saturday. Harold Castro will take over at first base and bat fifth.

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a run scored Friday against the Mariners.

Gurriel led off the second inning with a single and came around to score. He chipped in another base knock to begin the sixth frame to turn in his second consecutive multi-hit performance. Even so, he has hit just .184 with four RBI and four runs scored across his last 10 games. Overall, Gurriel has maintained a .232/.264/.384 line across 159 plate appearances.
