Padlo was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Padlo was called up Wednesday but entered just a single game during his time with the team, striking out in his lone plate appearance. He's now gone 1-for-13 with nine strikeouts to start his big-league career.

Guerrero went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 11-10 win over the A's.

The young superstar didn't manage an extra-base hit, but he still led Toronto in knocks in a wild and much-needed come-from-behind victory. Guerrero extended his hitting streak to 11 games in the process, and he remains within striking distance of a Triple Crown if he can stay hot through September, as he's posting a .316/.407/.601 slash line with 39 homers, 97 RBI and 100 runs in 132 games on the season.

Voit is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

Last season's home-run leader is now a part-time player after the Yankees brought in both Anthony Rizzo and Joey Gallo at the trade deadline. Voit has logged only 21 at-bats since Aug. 22, collecting four hits, including two for extra bases (one homer), while striking out 11 times. He has a .779 OPS in 52 games so far this year.

Dalbec was added to Friday's lineup against Cleveland as the starting first baseman, batting seventh, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Jarren Duran was scratched with an illness, so Kyle Schwarber will move to the outfield, opening up a spot for Dalbec against righty Cal Quantrill. Dalbec is hitting .348/.434/.758 with seven home runs and a 26.3 percent strikeout rate over his last 25 games.

Dalbec is out of Friday's lineup versus Cleveland, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

The first baseman will go back to the bench with the team facing right-hander Cal Quantrill. Lefty Kyle Schwarber is batting leadoff and starting at first base.

Gittens, who has been on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a muscle issue between his hamstring and quad, was seen running the bases prior to Friday's game and could be nearing a return, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

The 27-year-old slugger has been out since Aug. 20. He hit .267/.389/.700 with four home runs and 12 strikeouts in 30 August at-bats with the RailRiders.

Dalbec went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Rays.

Newly minted as the August Rookie of the Month, Dalbec delivered a pair of run-producing singles in the win. He hit safely for a seventh consecutive game, during which he's 10-for-22 (.455) with four home runs and 11 RBI. For the month of August, the 26-year-old slashed .339/.431/.774 (1.205 OPS) over 24 games, belting seven homers and delivering 21 runs. It's been quite a turnaround for Dalbec, who has slumped all season and survived challenges to his playing time since July.

Dalbec is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rays, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Dalbec started the past three contests and is 9-for-23 with four homers, two doubles, nine RBI and six runs in his past eight games, but he'll receive a breather Wednesday with Kyle Schwarber starting at first base. Dalbec appears to have jumped Travis Shaw for reps at first base thanks to the recent hot streak, though both players could see their playing time dip if Schwarber starts to see more time at the position.

Vaughn isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Vaughn drew starts in each of the last six games but went just 2-for-21 with three runs and an RBI during that time. Gavin Sheets will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will remain on the bench for the second straight game with Kansas City facing a southpaw (Logan Allen) on Wednesday. O'Hearn's opportunities against right-handed pitching could soon take a hit, as Kansas City welcomes back Adalberto Mondesi (oblique) from the injured list Wednesday. Mondesi is expected to see most of his initial starts at designated hitter while he returns from an extended absence, leaving O'Hearn, Hunter Dozier and Edward Olivares to compete for reps in right field.
