Lowe went 3-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 9-4 win over Kansas City.

The first baseman gave Texas its first lead of the game with a two-RBI triple in the fourth inning before coming around to score on Jonah Heim's single. Lowe has hit safely in seven straight games, going 11-for-26 (.423) in that span. The 25-year-old is slashing .259/.357/.411 with 10 home runs, 40 RBI, 35 runs scored and four stolen bases across 314 plate appearances this year.

Dalbec is out of the lineup Friday against the Yankees, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Dalbec started the past five games and will head to the bench after striking out nine times in his past 11 plate appearances. Michael Chavis will start at first base and bat leadoff in his place.

Dalbec went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts and was removed for a pinch hitter in Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Rays.

Dalbec appeared to catch fire during the middle of June, but he has since slid back. Over the last three games, he's hitless in 11 plate appearances with nine strikeouts.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a run scored and two walks Thursday against the Rangers.

Olson continued his excellent form at the plate, as he now has at least one hit in 19 of his last 22 games. In that span, he's delivered seven home runs, 21 RBI and 20 runs scored all while hitting .404. While Olson won't likely be able to maintain that form for the rest of the season, he has a tremendous 162 wRC+ through 300 plate appearances.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and another run scored during Thursday's win over the Orioles.

Guerrero stayed red hot atop the MLB home run leaderboard as he cranked his 24th of the season, this time a 422-shot against Dean Kremer in the second inning. The 22-year-old has hit safely in 13 of his last 14 games as he continues to lead the Blue Jays in pretty much every batting category, including hits (89), on-base percentage (.441), RBI (61) and average (.338).

Voit went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday against the Royals.

Voit delivered his third home run of the season in the third inning to give the Yankees a four-run lead. He's recorded at least one hit in each of his three games since being activated from the injured list June 22, highlighted by a pair of home runs and a triple. For the season, Voit is hitting .211/.297/.404 across just 64 plate appearances.

O'Hearn went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.

O'Hearn staked the Royals to an early lead, clubbing a two-run homer to right field in the first inning. He added another RBI on an infield single that temporarily put Kansas City on top in the ninth frame. In two games since being called back up to the big club June 22, O'Hearn has gone 4-for-9 with a pair of homers and five RBI.

Santana went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.

The veteran first baseman looked to be the potential hero for the Royals, belting a 432-foot solo shot in the eighth inning to put the team ahead by a run. The Yankees responded with a solo shot of their own in the bottom of the frame, however, and ultimately pulled off the win. Santana's homer was his first since June 13th, but he wasn't dormant in the seven games between long balls, slashing .310/.375/.345 with three RBI and four runs over that span.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts as Texas defeated Oakland, 5-3 on Wednesday.

Lowe knotted the score at 3-3 with his seventh-inning blast off Yusmeiro Petit and later reached on a infield single the next inning. The homer was Lowe's first since June 12 and the first baseman now has a hit safely in five straight games.

Diaz isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Diaz went 2-for-6 with a double, two runs and a strikeout in Tuesday's loss to Boston, and he'll get a breather Wednesday. Ji-Man Choi will start at first base while Austin Meadows serves as the designated hitter.
