Guerrero went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 win over Minnesota.

The first baseman knocked in Marcus Semien with an RBI single before scoring on Bo Bichette's home run in the first inning. Guerrero has hit safely in 16 of 18 games in September, going 27-for-71 (.380) with seven homers, nine RBI and 21 runs scored this month. He's lifted his impressive slash line to .321/.411/.617 with a major-league-leading 46 homers, 105 RBI and 119 runs scored across 642 plate appearances overall.

Gurriel is not in the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gurriel will take a day off after starting the past eight games and delivering a .722 OPS during that span. Aledmys Diaz will start at first base Sunday for Houston.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

O'Hearn is on the bench for the third consecutive game as Salvador Perez receives a day off from behind the plate to serve as the designated hitter. O'Hearn is 3-for-23 through 12 games in September and may receive inconsistent opportunities down the stretch.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Saturday's 3-1 triumph over the Angels.

Olson took Los Angeles starter Jose Suarez deep as part of a three-run first during which Oakland scored all of its runs. The blast gives the first baseman 36 on the year, which ties his career high for homers set in 2019. Olson has now compiled a modest five-game hitting streak during which he's gone 7-for-18 with a double and three long balls.

Mountcastle went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk Saturday against the Red Sox.

Mountcastle reached the 30-home run mark when he took Nick Pivetta deep in the first inning. He also singled later in the game. The 24-year-old is hitting .260/.311/.498 with 83 RBI in 530 plate appearances this season.

Voit went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer and a walk in Saturday's 11-3 loss to Cleveland.

Voit swatted his 11th homer of the season in the eighth inning, connecting off Justin Garza to round out the scoring. Playing time has been sporadic for Voit since the Yankees acquired veteran first baseman Anthony Rizzo from the Cubs, but Voit has shown some signs of life at the plate over his last three games, reaching base five times with a pair of homers and three walks.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle.

O'Hearn finds himself on the bench for the third time in four games. He's only started four games all season against lefties, so it's unsurprising to see him on the bench here against Yusei Kikuchi. Hunter Dozier will be the right fielder Saturday, while Hanser Alberto fills the designated hitter spot.

Rizzo is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Rizzo has gone 3-for-22 at the plate over his last seven games. He'll hit the bench Saturday, with Luke Voit taking over at first base.

Dalbec went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 7-1 over the Orioles.

Dalbec's hot bat certainly hasn't cooled off. The first baseman launched his fifth home run over the last eight games and ninth over the last 18. Dalbec started 12 of the last 14 contests, so it looks like the plan for him to platoon at first base has been scrapped for now.

Diaz entered Friday's extra-inning win over the Tigers as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth and delivered a two-run single in his only at-bat.

Diaz's timely knock plated Manuel Margot and Francisco Mejia to close the Rays' deficit to 4-3 at the time. The 29-year-old's clutch hitting was an extension of a favorable September pattern, as he's now driven in multiple runs on three occasions during the month on his way to 11 RBI over 13 games.
