White (quadriceps) is back in the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

White sat for three straight games with a quadriceps issue, though he was able to serve as a defensive replacement in Sunday's contest. He'll look to wake his bat up Monday, as he's begun the year with just three hits in his first 23 at-bats.

France went 2-for-3 with two runs and was also hit by a pitch twice in a win over the Twins on Sunday.

The 26-year-old now sports a stellar .439 on-base percentage following Sunday's busy day, extending a favorable pattern he's consistently exhibited since arriving via trade from the Padres at the deadline last season. France has offered some solid power production early as well, lacing a pair of doubles and a home run across his first 41 plate appearances.

White (quadriceps) was able to serve as a defensive replacement at first base in Sunday's win over the Twins. He did not log a plate appearance.

The young first baseman had missed the last three games due to his quadriceps injury, so Sunday's appearance is a sign he may be ready to return to the starting lineup as early as Monday for the start of a four-game set against the Orioles. White's 2021 has started much like his difficult 2020 rookie campaign, as the 24-year-old is slashing .130/.167/.217 across his first 24 plate appearances.

Diaz is not in the lineup Monday against the Rangers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays' heavy rotation policy won't be changing any time soon, though Diaz has managed to find himself in the lineup far more often than not. He'll sit Monday for just the second time in the season's first 10 games. Yoshi Tsutsugo will start at first base in his absence.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Santana took White Sox closer Liam Hendriks deep for the game-tying homer in the ninth inning. The 35-year-old Santana also drew a walk for the first time since April 3. The first baseman has a .185/.313/.333 slash line with a homer, four RBI, four runs scored and five walks across 32 plate appearances this season.

White (quadriceps) will go through a pregame workout before the Mariners determine if he'll be available off the bench for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Jose Marmolejos is picking up a third straight start at first base in White's stead, but the Mariners remain hopeful that the latter can contribute as a pinch hitter. White's left quad still presented issues for him when he tested it prior to Saturday's game, so he may need to demonstrate some progress Sunday to improve his chances of avoiding a trip to the injured list.

White (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

White's strained left quad will keep him on the bench for a third straight game, allowing Jose Marmolejos to pick up another start at first base. The Mariners are still treating White as day-to-day, but a trip to the IL will grow more likely if he remains on the bench for Monday's series opener in Baltimore.

Dalbec went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

Dalbec's contact issues have been prevalent early in 2021, but he managed to plate a run with a ninth-inning force out. With one out and men at the corners, he hit a grounder to short and beat the double-play throw from second base, allowing Marwin Gonzalez to score from third and sending the game into extra frames. Dalbec is 2-for-21 with nine strikeouts and a contact rate hovering around 50 percent.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with two walks, a stolen base, three RBI and a run scored Saturday in a victory over the Angels.

Guerrero was one of a trio of Blue Jays hitters to drive in at least three runs in the blowout win. It was the second time in the last three days that the young star finished with three runs batted in, and his eight total RBI this season are tied with Randal Grichuk for the top mark on the club. Guerrero is off to a hot start to the campaign, slashing .379/.538/.621 with a pair of homers and an 8:6 BB:K.

Naylor isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Naylor had started every game for Cleveland to begin the season and went 5-for-22 with two doubles, one run and six strikeouts. Jordan Luplow will lead off and play right field during Saturday's matchup.
