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.

Dalbec will return to the starting lineup Wednesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Dalbec has taken a seat the last two games while Danny Santana started at first base against right-handed starters. He's batting .146 with one home run against righties compared to .314 with four homers against lefties. With Framber Valdez on the bump Wednesday, Dalbec will start at first base. Manager Alex Cora indicated he plans to start him again Thursday against right-hander Jake Odorizzi.

Gurriel went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 5-1 win over Boston.

Gurriel returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing three games due to inflammation in his left middle finger.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, two runs and a strikeout in Tuesday's 12-6 win over Seattle.

Olson opened the scoring with a solo shot off starter Marco Gonzales and tacked on a two-run single as part of a six-run seventh. This marks consecutive multi-hit outings for the power-hitting first baseman, who's now slashing .264/.354/.560.

Guerrero went 4-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double Tuesday against the Marlins.

Guerrero had a perfect night at the dish to record his third multi-hit effort in his last eight starts. The performance was highlighted by his three-run homer in the third inning off Sandy Alcantara. 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.

Dalbec isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Dalbec will be out of the lineup for a second straight game despite his two-hit effort Saturday. Danny Santana will start at first base and bat seventh.

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.

Manager Dusty Baker said Tuesday that Gurriel (finger) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The Houston lineup will get a major boost Tuesday with Yordan Alvarez (wrist) also slated to return from a multi-game absence. Gurriel, who is slashing .309/.380/.511 with seven homers and 38 RBI on the campaign, will look to break out of a 4-for-27 skid in his return.
