Dalbec went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-4 triumph over Seattle.

Dalbec knotted the game at 2-2 with his sixth-inning shot off Seattle reliever Anthony Misiewicz, but he wasn't productive in his other at-bats and was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth. The 26-year-old has flashed promising power in his second season with four home runs over his last six games and 22 on the season.

Vaughn was placed on the 10-day injured list with lower back inflammation Tuesday.

Vaughn hasn't played since Thursday while dealing with what was previously reported to be leg soreness. He's evidently also been dealing with a back issue. The transaction was backdated to Friday, so he'll be eligible to return Monday, which James Fegan of The Athletic reports the White Sox believe is possible.

Guerrero went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-1 win over the Rays.

He took over the major-league home run lead with an absolute missile, hooking an Adam Conley pitch just over the wall in the left-field corner on a line drive that left the yard in an incredible 3.3 seconds. Guerrero not only has 45 homers, one ahead of Shohei Ohtani, he also leads the American League in batting average at .318 -- leaving him just four RBI behind Jose Abreu for a potential Triple Crown. As an added bonus, he also leads all of MLB with 114 runs.

Dalbec isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Seattle, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Dalbec will take a seat for the series opener after racking up a pair of extra-base hits Sunday afternoon against the White Sox. Kyle Schwarber shifts to first base as a result.

Gurriel went 4-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Angels.

Gurriel broke out of a minor 1-for-13 skid over his previous three starts with a perfect day at the dish in the series finale, lifting his season average back up to a career-high .315. He'll remain in the lineup for Monday's game in Texas, manning first base and batting cleanup.

Diaz went 2-for-5 with three RBI from a pair of doubles in an extra-innings loss to the Tigers on Sunday.

Despite the disappointing team outcome Sunday, Diaz came through nicely in the latter portion of the contest. His eighth-inning two-bagger extended the Rays' lead to 5-2 at the time by plating Randy Arozarena and Manuel Margot, while his 10th-inning two-base knock snapped a 5-5 tie by bringing Ji-Man Choi home. Diaz now has three multi-hit efforts in the last seven contests, with three of his eight hits during that span going for extra bases.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Olson blasted a two-run homer off Taylor Hearn in the sixth inning to bring the Athletics within one run. It was his second long ball in as many games. The 27-year-old leads Oakland in home runs (34), RBI (98) and runs (91). He is slashing .276/.370/.545 in 586 plate appearances this season.

Rizzo is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Rizzo sits after starting 13 straight games at first base. He hit .292/.370/.542 over that stretch but went hitless in his last two contests. Luke Voit starts at first base.

Mountcastle went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 22-7 loss to Toronto.

The 24-year-old went deep in the third inning, but even with his homer, Baltimore trailed 16-4 at the time. Mountcastle has been excellent in his first full major-league season, slashing .264/.316/.498 with 28 long balls, 79 RBI, 68 runs scored and four stolen bases through 507 plate appearances. He's gone yard in three of his last five contests.

Guerrero went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and three total runs scored in Sunday's 22-7 win over Baltimore.

The first baseman went deep in the second inning to give Toronto a 6-0 lead. It was Guerrero's 44th homer of the year, tying him with Shohei Ohtani for the major-league lead. While it's already been a great season for Guerrero, he's been even better lately, hitting .372 (32-for-86) with eight homers, 13 RBI and 20 runs scored across his last 21 games. He's gone without a hit in just one game in that span. For the season, he owns a 1.018 OPS, 102 RBI and 113 runs scored in 142 contests.
