Guerrero went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's victory over Boston.

Guerrero scored on a Cavan Biggio single in the first inning, then sent Raimel Tapia home on a single of his own in the fifth inning. This was the first baseman's fourth multi-hit performance in his last six games, raising his batting average from .268 to .280 during that span. Guerrero has an impressive .341 batting average for the month, but he has just two home runs in July after hitting nine in June.

Naylor went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox.

This was Naylor's third multi-hit effort in his last five games. He's gone 8-for-20 (.400) with five RBI and three runs scored in that span. He's continued to play well while seeing consistent time at first base, though he was the designated hitter Sunday. The 25-year-old is up to a .282/.332/.504 slash line with 13 home runs, 51 RBI, 30 runs scored and a stolen base through 262 plate appearances.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Kansas City.

Diaz drilled a solo shot off of Kris Bubic in the third inning, ending a 56-game homerless drought. He later doubled and scored a run in the sixth. The 30-year-old was in a 3-for-24 (.125) slump since his last multi-hit game July 11. Diaz improved his season slash line to .295/.409/.404 with 24 extra-base hits and 43 runs scored through 86 games.

Santana is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Astros.

Santana will get a breather after he went 1-for-6 with a solo home run and two walks in the first two games of the series. Ty France will start at first base while Sam Haggerty enters the lineup in right field and bats ninth in the series finale.

Vaughn is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Guardians.

Vaughn will get a breather after he went 3-for-13 with a double, an RBI and two runs over the first three games of the series. Eloy Jimenez will start at designated hitter while AJ Pollock enters the lineup in left field and bats third versus Cleveland.

Clemens is starting at third base and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Clemens was called back up to the majors after the All-Star break and will be making his second start since play resumed. The rookie has struggled with a .153/.227/.322 slash line through 26 games, so he doesn't inspire a ton of confidence even when he's in the lineup. Fantasy managers can look elsewhere for now.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's loss against the Astros.

Santana scored Seattle's lone run in Saturday's contest on a seventh-inning solo shot. It was his fifth home run in 19 games as a Mariner after hitting four with the Royals prior to his trade. Santana has a 10:10 K:BB rate this month but has just 13 hits in 55 at-bats, giving him a .236 July batting average. He has a .217 batting average on the season.

Dalbec went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss against the Blue Jays.

Dalbec was responsible for all of Boston's offense Saturday, launching a second-inning solo shot off Alek Manoah. It was his eighth home run of the season and his third in July. The first baseman picked up two hits in the contest after going hitless in his last three appearances. He has struggled throughout the season, but July has been especially rough for Dalbec, who has 22 strikeouts and 10 hits. He is carrying a .210 batting average after Saturday's contest. In addition to his work at first base, Dalbec may get starts at third base while Rafael Devers (hamstring) is on the 10-day injured list.

White (sports hernia) was pulled off his rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma following his last appearance June 14 and has since taking part in baseball activities back in Seattle while receiving treatment, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

White has now been pulled off his rehab assignment on two occasions this season, as he was previously shut down for two weeks before returning to action for Tacoma for one game in mid-June. Altogether, White went 3-for-27 with 11 strikeouts across his nine rehab contests, so he wasn't finding much success before he informed the Mariners that he wasn't feeling right physically. The 26-year-old has been on injured list all season and hasn't played in an MLB game since May 13, 2021, as his previous campaign was cut short when he required surgery to repair a left hip flexor strain. At this stage, the Mariners likely aren't counting on White being a major contributor in 2022 if and when he's healthy again.

Naylor isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Naylor started the last six games and hit .250 with two home runs, a double, seven RBI and three runs. He'll get a breather while Owen Miller starts at first base and bats sixth.
