Vaughn started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

Vaughn slugged his 14th home run to put the White Sox on the board in the sixth inning. This was his seventh appearance and fifth start in right field, as manager Tony La Russa navigates an injury to Adam Engel (groin). Brian Goodwin started in right field Saturday against a right-hander before Vaughn's start against a lefty.

Voit went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-3 win over the White Sox.

Voit singled and scored on Rougned Odor's homer in the second inning, and he hit his own two-run shot in the ninth to put the Yankees up 5-1. It was his fifth home run of the year and second in the last seven games since returning from the injured list. Voit is slashing just .234/.314/.380 through 153 plate appearances.

Torkelson was promoted to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Torkelson went through a mild slump at Double-A Erie in late July and early August, but he bounced back across the last week and hit .423 with four home runs, two doubles, nine RBI and eight runs across his last six games. He slashed .263/.373/.560 with 14 homers, 36 RBI, 33 runs and a stolen base in 50 games with the Double-A club and will now be one step away from the majors.

Diaz (thumb) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

Diaz will sit for the second straight game after exiting Friday's contest with a sprained left thumb. The 30-year-old was able to take some swings Sunday and could be available off the bench in an emergency, but manager Kevin Cash will likely attempt to avoid utilizing him, if possible.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals.

O'Hearn is 6-for-21 with a homer, a triple, seven RBI and two runs through nine games in August, and he'll sit for the second straight contest Sunday. Salvador Perez will serve as the designated hitter while Cam Gallagher starts behind the plate.

France went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a triple, a walk and three total runs in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays.

France gave Seattle an early lead with a two-run, 422-foot blast to center field in the first inning. He reached base twice more in the contest and came around to score each time. France is currently swinging a hot stick, collecting four multi-hit efforts in his past five games. Over that stretch, he is slashing .526/.571/.789 with four runs and three RBI.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a run in a loss to the Mariners on Saturday.

The star first baseman notched a trio of singles to raise his batting average to .315 on the season. Guerrero has tallied three or more hits 13 times on the campaign, though this was his first time doing so since July 7. His MVP-caliber season also includes 35 homers, 89 runs, 88 RBI and three stolen bases.

Abreu went 4-for-5 with a solo homer Saturday in a loss to the Yankees.

Abreu notched a pair of doubles off New York starter Jameson Taillon, then he clubbed a Chad Green offering over the left-center field fence in the ninth inning to tie the game at 4-4. It was the 24th homer of the season for Abreu and gave him 86 RBI, which ranks third in MLB behind only Rafael Devers (89) and Vladimir Guerrero (88). Abreu will take an 11-game hitting streak (17-for-46) into Saturday's series finale.

Dalbec went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 16-2 rout of the Orioles.

The 26-year-old took Adam Plutko deep in the fifth inning and Cesar Valdez in the sixth, part of a five-homer, 17-hit rampage by the Boston offense in support of Chris Sale during the southpaw's first big-league start in almost exactly two years. Dalbec is up to 14 homers on the season, with three of them coming in the last two days, but his .233 batting average and 36.3 percent strikeout rate put a firm cap on his fantasy upside.

Olson was 2-for-4 and cracked his 30th home run of the season in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.

Olson took Texas starter Jordan Lyles deep in the sixth inning -- one of four Oakland round-trippers off Lyles -- to hit the 30-home run mark for the second time in his career (he hit 36 in 2019). The 27-year-old Olson is hitting .333 during the month of August, upping his season slash line to .285/.379/.578 in 475 plate appearances.
