Naylor went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double, eight RBI and a walk in Monday's 12-9 win over the White Sox.

Naylor drilled a grand slam off of Liam Hendriks to tie the game in the ninth inning before hitting a three-run, go-ahead home run in the 11th. The 24-year-old is up to eight extra-base hits and 21 RBI with a .338/.370/.574 slash line through 73 plate appearances. More regular playing time could be available for Naylor if his bat stays hot.

Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's win over the Rangers.

Rizzo plated the only run of the game in the bottom of the eighth inning on a double to left center. It marked the first baseman's first double since April 28 against Baltimore and his first RBI of the month after going just 2-for-20 in his first six games of the month.

Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's game against the Royals.

Mountcastle tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth inning with a single to left field. He's now 10-for-21 with two doubles, two home runs, seven RBI and a stolen base over his last five contests.

Abreu went 1-for-2 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Red Sox.

Abreu swatted a two-RBI double in the third inning to put the White Sox up 3-0. He has at least one hit in nine of his last 10 games, also racking up six RBI and six runs scored in that span. While hits have fallen in, Abreu has only a .146 ISO through 109 plate appearances to begin the season -- a significant drop from his .219 mark in 2021.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

With the Rangers concluding a busy weekend in New York with a day game after a doubleheader, Lowe will get a breather for the first time since April 10. Andy Ibanez will step in at first base for Lowe, who could probably benefit from a day to clear his head after going 3-for-37 with 16 strikeouts over his last 10 starts.

Mountcastle went 5-for-9 with a double, two RBI, a stolen base and one run scored across both games of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Royals.

Mountcastle went 4-for-5 in the first game, then added his steal in the second. The 25-year-old lifted his slash line to .276/.303/.419 through 109 plate appearances this season. He's gone 9-for-17 across his last four contests as he continues to hit in the middle of the Orioles' order. The first baseman has four home runs, 14 RBI, 10 runs scored, three doubles and two stolen bases in 26 games.

Torkelson, who went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Astros, has just three hits in his last 10 games.

In this cold stretch, Torkelson has gone just 3-for-32 with 14 strikeouts, and his season batting average has dipped to .167. The Tigers fell to 8-19 with Sunday's loss, so they'll likely keep playing the talented rookie regularly in what appears to be a rebuilding season. Fantasy managers may occasionally get some big games from Torkelson, but he's hard to trust at this point due to his inability to make consistent contact at the plate.

O'Hearn isn't starting the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

O'Hearn drew his third consecutive start in Sunday's matinee, and he went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a strikeout. Hunter Dozier will start at first base while Salvador Perez serves as the designated hitter.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees.

With southpaw Jordan Montgomery on the hill for the nightcap, Calhoun will head to the bench while Adolis Garcia picks up a start in right field. Calhoun was responsible for the Rangers' only damage against Gerrit Cole in the Yankees' 2-1 win in Game 1, as he took New York's ace deep in the seventh inning for his first home run of the season.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

The freshly activated Ji-Man Choi (elbow) will step in at first base for Diaz, who had drawn starts at the position in each of the Rays' last six games. Though Choi is back in the fold, Diaz is expected to play on a near-everyday basis while bouncing between the two corner-infield spots. Taylor Walls appears to be at greater risk of losing out on regular playing time following Choi's return.
