Guerrero went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two additional RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's win over the Orioles.

Guerrero keeps mashing and already has seven homers on the month, though he's been supplying value outside of the power department since he's also hit safely in all but one of his last 10 games. The slugger is hitting .381 with a 1.252 OPS in 17 games this month.

Mountcastle went 4-for-4 with three home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Blue Jays.

Mountcastle and the rest of the Orioles lineup combined for six home runs -- the most for Baltimore in a single game since August 2016 -- but it wasn't enough for the team to keep pace with the Blue Jays, who plated six runs in the ninth to steal the win. Though the 23-47 Orioles already find themselves out of playoff contention well before the All-Star break, Mountcastle has been a silver lining in an otherwise bleak season. After going 10-for-17 at the dish over his last four games, Mountcastle has lifted his season-long slash line to .266/.292/.477 across 250 plate appearances.

Vaughn went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Astros.

Vaughn proved that his face contusion wasn't an issue after reaching base three times Saturday, including a solo home run off Framber Valdez in the seventh inning. The rookie hasn't been a very consistent hitter this season, as he's batting .236, but his role has increased due to multiple injuries to teammates. He will likely get better with experience as he has shown the ability to get on base multiple times in three of his last five games.

Dalbec went 3-for-3 with a triple, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Royals.

The 25-year-old slugger capped his big day by taking Jackson Kowar deep in the ninth inning for a two-run shot. Dalbec has nine homers on the year, and four of them have come in his last 12 games.

Voit (oblique) went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in a minor-league rehab game with Double-A Somerset on Friday.

Voit's production at the plate Friday was the surest sign yet that he's ready to return to the big club. He mashed a two-run double in the second inning and a solo homer in the sixth. Barring any setbacks, Voit is expected to rejoin the Yankees for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Vaughn (face) will bat seventh and play left field Saturday against the Astros.

Vaughn exited Friday's game with a facial contusion after getting hit by a throw while running the bases. The injury evidently wasn't a particularly serious one, as he won't wind up missing a single contest.

Kiriloff is not starting Saturday against Texas.

Kiriloff isn't necessarily at risk of slipping into a true bench role, but the returns of Max Kepler (hamstring) and Byron Buxton (hip) over the last two days can't help but make the Twins' outfield considerably more crowded. Kepler, Buxton and Trevor Larnach will be the outfielders Saturday.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Cleveland's regular starting nine will be down one member with the series taking place in a National League Park. Harold Ramirez will start in right field in his absence.

Tellez isn't starting Saturday against the Orioles.

Tellez has gone 0-for-8 with three strikeouts across his last four appearances, and he'll retreat to the bench for the fourth time in the last five games. Bo Bichette will serve as the designated hitter while Joe Panik enters the lineup at second base.

France went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Rays.

France ended his RBI streak at four games, but he also extended his hitting streak to seven contests -- a span in which he's recorded three multi-hit performances to go along with two homers, six RBI and four total extra-base hits.
