Santana (personal) was reinstated from the restricted list Saturday.

Santana was away from the team Friday while addressing a family emergency, but he'll rejoin the club prior to Saturday's matchup against the Rangers. He should be the team's top option at first base for the final two games ahead of the All-Star break.

Gurriel will sit Friday against the Athletics.

Gurriel has just two hits in his last four games, dropping his season slash line to .231/.283/.383. J.J. Matijevic will get the start at first base in his absence.

Calhoun will sit Friday against the Mariners.

Calhoun started against the last three southpaws the Rangers faced but will hit the bench Friday against Robbie Ray. Elier Hernandez gets the nod in left field.

Torkelson isn't starting Friday against the Guardians.

Torkelson drew starts in the last eight games and hit .222 with two doubles, three runs and an RBI. Harold Castro is starting at first base and batting fifth Friday.

Santana (personal) was placed on the restricted list Friday as he addresses a family emergency.

Santana will be away from the team for a few days while with his family, likely making him unavailable until after the All-Star break. Kevin Padlo was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday to replace him on the active roster.

Padlo was called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

The 26-year-old will return to the Mariners after he was sent down in late June, filling the roster spot of Carlos Santana who was placed on the restricted list Friday with a family emergency. Padlo has gone 4-for-22 with a double and three RBI over 10 games in the big leagues this season.

France went 2-for-5 with a two-run single and a double in a win over the Rangers on Thursday.

France's eighth-inning knock plated Sam Haggerty and Abraham Toro to erase a 5-4 deficit and give the Mariners a slim one-run lead they wouldn't relinquish. The 28-year-old had been mired in a 2-for-20 funk since coming off the injured list July 7, but perhaps his first multi-hit effort since June 21 will reignite his bat.

Abreu went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Twins.

Abreu has been excellent across his last 24 games, as he's tallied at least one hit on 22 occasions and multiple hits 14 times. In that span, he's maintained a .406 batting average with two home runs, 13 RBI and 16 runs scored. As a result of the hot stretch, Abreu has compiled a 146 wRC+ and .373 wOBA across 382 plate appearances for the season.

Vaughn went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's 12-2 victory versus Minnesota.

Vaughn drove in a run with a single in the first inning and launched a 444-foot solo shot to center field in the seventh. The 24-year-old had been in a 3-for-20 slide prior to Thursday, but he capitalized on a big offensive performance by Chicago. Vaughn has shown improvement at the plate in his second big-league campaign, as he is on pace to exceed nearly all of his offensive numbers from last season. He's also managed to lower his strikeout rate to 16.7 percent in comparison to his 21.5 percent mark from 2021.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Tigers.

Naylor has gone deep three times in July, and he's up to 12 homers on the campaign. His second-inning blast was ultimately all the Guardians needed in this victory. Since the start of June, he's batting .261 (30-for-115), and he's seen fairly steady playing time at first base, though he occasionally sits in favor of Owen Miller. Naylor has a .273/.328/.500 slash line with 44 RBI, 27 runs scored, one stolen base and 13 doubles in 60 contests this year.
