Lowe went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Angels.

He hit back-to-back jacks with Adolis Garcia in the eighth inning, giving the Rangers a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Lowe has had a solid start in Texas after an offseason trade from Tampa Bay, hitting .254 (18-for-71) through 19 games with five homers and 17 RBI.

Olson went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 13-12 extra-inning win over the Twins.

The first baseman went yard twice against Kenta Maeda, helping to chase the right-hander from the game after only three innings. Olson has been on fire lately, hitting safely in seven straight games and going 11-for-26 (.423) with five homers and nine RBI.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Wednesdays' 6-3 loss to the Rockies.

Gurriel swatted a game-tying two-run homer off Rockies starter Austin Gomber in the second inning. In the ninth, Gurriel earned another RBI with a groundout to plate Carlos Correa. The 36-year-old Gurriel is slashing .333/.452/.500 with two homers, eight RBI and six runs scored across 73 plate appearances.

Mountcastle went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Marlins.

Mountcastle drew the start in left field and hit third Wednesday. In the fourth inning, he drew a walk and stole second, but he was left stranded. The 24-year-old is slashing only .169/.203/.277 with a homer, seven RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases across 69 plate appearances. He's in a 0-for-18 rut at the plate. The Orioles begin a three-game series with the Athletics on Friday, and the return to AL play enables the utilization of Mountcastle as the designated hitter.

Abreu and the White Sox won't play Cleveland on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Northeast Ohio, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

The two teams will make up Wednesday's game as part of a traditional doubleheader on Memorial Day. Abreu and the White Sox will have an off day Thursday before returning to action Friday with a three-game home series against the Rangers.

Dalbec went 2-for-3 with a triple and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Dalbec's average climbed to .244 after a slow start, but a look at expected rates suggest the rise was bound to happen. The prodigious slugger, who has yet to homer in 2021, ranks near the top of the majors in expected batting average, expected slugging percentage and barrel percentage, per Statcast. The corner infielder is 9-for-24 (.375) with four doubles and one triple over the last eight games.

Santana went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in a loss to the Rays on Tuesday.

The Royals were routed in the contest, but Santana made sure the team's offense wasn't to blame. The veteran plated a pair of runs with a double in the third inning and bashed a solo homer in the fifth. After a slow start to the campaign, Santana has been coming on strong with four straight two-hit games. Over that span, he has gone 8-for-15 with four extra-base hits and four RBI.

Abreu went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI during Tuesday's 8-5 win at Cleveland.

The 34-year-old hit an RBI single between a pair of solo homers to power Chicago's offense during Tuesday's victory. Abreu has a .221/.316/.426 slash line with four home runs, nine runs, 14 RBI and 25 strikeouts through 18 games this season.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in a 7-0 win during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins.

The first baseman supplied a little more power in the nightcap, going 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored. Olson has hit safely in six straight games, and he's now slashing .288/.377/.577 with four homers and 12 RBI through 15 contests.

Diaz is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Royals, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

He is hitting .324 with a .464 OBP and one extra-base hit (a double) over his last 10 games. Yoshi Tsutsugo will start at first base while Austin Meadows gets the start at designated hitter.
