Ryan Mountcastle 1B | BAL
Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Stays hot against Twins
Mountcastle went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Twins.
Mountcastle took Alex Colome deep in the seventh inning to record his sixth home run of the season. He performed well across the team's three-game set against the Twins, collecting five hits in 12 at-bats while slugging two home runs, driving in five and scoring twice. That aided his season-long line, which still sits at an uninspiring .238/.265/.400 mark across 196 plate appearances.

Evan White 1B | LAA
Mariners' Evan White: Remains weeks from returning
The Mariners hope White (hip) will be ready to begin a rehab assignment after the team returns home from its current road trip in mid-June, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
He may not be the primary first baseman upon returning to the Mariners, as fill-in Ty France has hit a respectable .261 with 21 RBI this season. White, on the other hand, was in a 6-for-59 slump before suffering the injury May 13.

France went 3-for-5 with an RBI ground-rule double in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
France's third-inning two-bagger plated Kyle Seager with the Mariners' third run of the game and gave him his fifth RBI in the last three games. The 26-year-old now has four multi-hit efforts in the last eight contests and has given his batting average a 31-point boost to .261 during that post-injured-list stretch.

Paulson recently underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee and will miss the remainder of the season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Paulson was traded from the Dodgers to the Rays in late December, and he began the year with Double-A Montgomery. The 23-year-old slashed .340/.373/.396 with 13 RBI and five runs this season. It's not yet clear whether he'll be ready for the start of spring training in 2022.

Manager Alex Cora indicated he plans to start him again Thursday against right-hander Jake Odorizzi.

Guerrero now has 17 home runs on the season and is hitting .337/.441/.663 with 31 runs scored and 45 RBI across 227 plate appearances.

Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL
White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Back in lineup
Vaughn (illness) will start in left field and bat seventh Tuesday against Cleveland.
Vaughn and Tim Anderson both ended up missing the second game of Monday's doubleheader in Cleveland due to allergies, but the duo feels well enough to rejoin the lineup a day later. The rookie closed out May with a .221/.303/.430 slash line, four home runs, 12 runs and 11 RBI in 26 games.
