Kiriloff (wrist) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The move has no impact on Kiriloff's recovery timeline, as he's already been ruled out for the year after undergoing surgery in late July. The procedure's eight-week recovery timeline means he won't make it back this season but should still leave him with plenty of time to get ready for next year. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the Twins to select Nick Vincent's contract.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees.

O'Hearn sat twice over the weekend with the Royals playing in a National League park without a designated hitter, and he's out of the lineup again Tuesday. Whit Merrifield will serve as the designated hitter while Hanser Alberto starts at second base.

Voit went 2-for-5 with a home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 11-inning win over Kansas City.

The two teams engaged in a scoreless tie for six frames before Voit broke the stalemate with a seventh-inning RBI single. In the ninth, the slugger again untied the contest with a solo shot to right field. The long ball was his fourth of the season and his first since returning to the active roster Sunday. Voit is slashing .239/.321/.385 overall in what has been an injury-plagued campaign.

Santana went 0-for-6 with a strikeout in Monday's 8-6 extra-innings loss to the Yankees.

It's rare for the first baseman to fail to get on base in some way -- he has a .341 on-base percentage and 14.6 percent walk rate this season. Santana has gone 10 games without a multi-hit effort, going just 5-for-38 (.132) with six walks and three runs scored in that span. All five hits in his slump have been singles.

Vaughn will be on the bench for Monday's game against the Twins.

The White Sox's outfield has gotten considerably more crowded recently, with Luis Robert (hip) returning Monday to join Eloy Jimenez (pectoral), who made his season debut in late July. Vaughn could slip into a lesser role down the stretch, as his off day Monday will be his second in three games, though his 1.073 OPS over his last 16 games suggests he deserves to be in the lineup as often as possible. Leury Garcia starts ahead of him in left field on this occasion.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Red Sox.

Guerrero continues to destroy opposing pitchers and reached the 35-homer plateau in style, blasting a two-run shot in the fifth inning off Garrett Richards in the fight inning. The star first baseman ended a six-game homer drought with his blast and continues to deliver value as one of the game's elite offensive threats this year.

Vaughn went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk as the White Sox beat the Cubs 9-3 on Sunday.

Vaughn smacked his 16th homer of the season in the first inning, walked in the third and singled home a run in the seventh. It was the second time in his last four contests in which he reached base three times. The young outfielder has now reached base 10 times in 20 plate appearances over his last five games, raising his slash line to .264/.331/.460.

Gittens (ankle) reported to Double-A Somerset on Sunday to begin a rehab assignment.

Gittens has been on the shelf since July 25 with a sprained right ankle, but he'll likely only need a few games in the minors to convince the Yankees he's fully healthy. Even if the Yankees elect to keep Gittens up with the big club once he's reinstated from the 10-day injured list, he'll likely be limited to a depth role at first base behind Luke Voit, who is set to take over as the club's primary first baseman while Anthony Rizzo (illness) is on the COVID-19 IL.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup Sunday at St. Louis, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

O'Hearn will sit for the second straight contest while the Royals are without the services of a designated hitter in a National League park. Hunter Dozier will start in right field Sunday while Hanser Alberto works at third base.

Mountcastle (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mountcastle is feeling better Sunday but continues to exhibit concussion-like symptoms after taking a hard tag to the head Friday, so he'll spend some time on the injured list. He'll be eligible to rejoin the active roster during next weekend's three-game set at Boston.
