Abreu went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-5 loss to Minnesota.

Abreu swatted his 15th homer in the sixth inning to put the White Sox on the board. It was the second home run in as many games for the slugging first baseman and third in the last six. June was not kind to Abreu, who batted .182 with eight RBI during the month, but he's matched that RBI total in just five July games (9-for-23, .391).

Abreu went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to Detroit.

The first baseman got Chicago on the board with an RBI single in the third inning before scoring on a Leury Garcia sacrifice fly. In the ninth, Abreu made things interesting with a three-run homer, but that left Chicago a run short in the loss. The 34-year-old went 5-for-14 with five RBI and four runs scored in this weekend's three-game series in Detroit. He's slashing .250/.330/.447 with 14 long balls, 61 RBI, 42 runs scored and a stolen base through 327 plate appearances overall.

France went 1-for-3 with a double and a bases-loaded walk in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

The surging France now has a five-game hitting streak that includes a pair of doubles and five RBI. The 26-year-old has actually been on a multi-week hot stretch, as he owns a .319 average and .989 OPS across the 82 plate appearances covering his last 19 games.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with two RBI and scored two runs in Saturday's 11-5 loss to Detroit.

Abreu plated Tim Anderson twice after the White Sox's leadoff hitter doubled twice, making this his first multi-RBI effort over the previous 13 games. He's fighting out of a fallow period, having entered Saturday's contest batting .147 with two RBI over the previous 10 games. Despite the slump, Abreu remains the team's RBI leader with 57 in 76 games.

Naylor (ankle) underwent successful surgery Friday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Naylor's procedure repaired multiple fibula fractures and ligament tearing after he was carted off the field in Sunday's loss to the Twins. The 24-year-old doesn't yet have a timetable for his return, but he's expected to begin his rehab process within the next week.

Dalbec (hamstring) is batting eighth and playing first base in Saturday's game against the Athletics, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

After missing three consecutive games with hamstring tightness, Dalbec, who's hit .273 against lefties this season, returns to face southpaw Cole Irvin. Though his .218 average in 2021 is nothing special, Dalbec has hit .315 with four homers and 10 RBI in his last 15 games.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Friday's win over Tampa Bay.

Guerrero ended a rare four-game homer drought with a two-run blast Friday and is now just three away from tying Shohei Ohtani for the MLB lead in that department. The star slugger has gone yard five times over his last 12 games.

O'Hearn isn't starting Saturday's game against Minnesota, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

O'Hearn recently drew 10 consecutive starts, but he'll take a seat for a second straight matchup. Jorge Soler will serve as the designated hitter while Hanser Alberto enters the lineup at second base.

Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a second run scored in Friday's 8-2 win over Detroit.

The 23-year-old's first hit of the game came in the seventh inning when he doubled and scored on a Danny Mendick sacrifice fly. Vaughn added a solo shot as part of Chicago's five-run ninth inning. He's gone 8-for-13 with two homers, five RBI and six runs scored across his last four games. The sudden surge has lifted his slash line to .246/.317/.436 with eight home runs, 22 RBI, 34 runs scored and a stolen bases through 240 plate appearances. He's seen everyday action in left field since Jake Lamb (quadriceps) was placed on the injured list.

White (hip) isn't close to resuming baseball activities, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

White still isn't feeling great after he received a cortisone injection Tuesday, and he's continuing to rest while he recovers from a hip flexor strain. The M's could have a better idea of the 25-year-old's return timetable once he's cleared to resume baseball activities, but it's not yet clear when that could occur.
