Olson went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a run-scoring groundout in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday.

Olson got it done with some small ball Tuesday, as he opened the scoring on the afternoon with his first-inning single before notching the final run of the game for Oakland in the second with a grounder that plated Elvis Andrus. The pair of RBI snapped a 13-game drought in that category for Olson, who hit just .170 over that stretch.

Vaughn isn't starting Wednesday against Minnesota.

Vaughn had started in each of the last nine games, and he recorded hits in seven of those appearances. The 23-year-old hit .355 with two home runs, two doubles, seven runs and five RBI during that time, but he'll get a breather while Billy Hamilton starts in left field and bats eighth.

Diaz isn't starting the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Diaz had started each of the last three games, and he went 4-for-11 with a home run, a double, five runs, two RBI and two walks during that time. Ji-Man Choi will start at first base while Austin Meadows serves as the designated hitter.

Naylor (ankle) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Naylor was carted off the field after taking a gruesome hit to his lower body during a collision June 27, and he later underwent surgery to repair multiple fibula fractures and ligament tears. The 24-year-old won't return during the 2021 season, but the team isn't yet sure whether he could be ready for spring training next year, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Voit went 5-for-6 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 12-1 win over the Mariners.

Voit anchored a 12-run, 18-hit offensive display Tuesday night with a career-high five hits, including a two-run single in the second inning and an RBI single in the third. The 30-year-old has started off a bit slow since his return from the injured list in late June; however, he's building up some momentum heading into the All-Star break after hitting safely in each of his last three contests. For the year, Voit's slashing .237/.302/.381 with three homers, 10 RBI, 12 runs scored and a 7:31 BB:K over 106 plate appearances.

France went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 12-1 loss to the Yankees.

France was the only Mariner with multiple hits on the evening and drove in the team's lone run on an RBI single to left-center field in the sixth. The 26-year-old has been a bright spot so far this season, slashing .268/.353/.428 with eight homers, 35 RBI, 37 runs scored and a 25:56 BB:K over 317 plate appearances. France is now working on a seven-game hitting streak.

Dalbec isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Angels, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Dalbec started each of the last three games after returning from a hamstring injury, and he went 2-for-10 with four strikeouts. Danny Santana will take his place at first base and bat eighth.

Diaz went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a win over Cleveland on Monday.

Diaz uncorked his fourth homer of the season in the seventh inning to bring the Rays within a run. The 29-year-old didn't notch his first round tripper of the season until June 6, but he's made up for lost time since that point and is now just 10 RBI shy of the career-high 38 he recorded in 2019.

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.
