Guerrero went 2-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored as he helped guide the Blue Jays to a 9-1 win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Guerrero doubled once in the fourth and a second time in the seventh, when he was able to clear the bases for three RBI. Wednesday's effort extended Guerrero's hitting streak to nine games as the young third/first baseman is now hitting .255/.333/.445 on the season with four home runs and 13 RBI as he continues to pick it up at the plate following a slumping start to the campaign.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Pirates.

Abreu finished off the scoring with a two-run shot in the seventh inning. The blast was his 12th of the season, tying him with Fernando Tatis for the MLB lead, and extended his hitting streak to 10 games. He's gone 19-for-40 with nine homers, 18 RBI and a 1.748 OPS during the streak.

White went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles, a walk and a run in a win over the Padres on Tuesday.

White didn't have any big hits, but he still continued a welcome surge after seeing his average bottom out at .104 on Aug. 12. The rookie has subsequently hit .321 (9-for-28) with three doubles, four home runs, 12 RBI, three walks, a stolen base and six runs over the following nine games, displaying some of the same proficiency at the plate that was evident during his successful 2019 campaign at Double-A Arkansas. White's 41.0 percent strikeout rate naturally has a long way to go, but the 24-year-old encouragingly posted his first whiff-free performance during that stretch in Tuesday's contest.

Diaz is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Orioles.

This will be his fourth day off in the last 15 games. He is hitting .404/.509/.553 with two home runs and more walks (10) than strikeouts (seven) over that stretch. Yoshi Tsutsugo will start at the hot corner and bat fifth.

Wade is starting in center field Wednesday for the second day in a row against a right-handed pitcher (Mike Clevinger).

He hit sixth Tuesday and is batting eighth Wednesday. Wade and Jake Cave have been the two center field options with Byron Buxton (shoulder) on the injured list. Cave has 11 strikeouts and zero walks in 34 at-bats over his last 10 games, so Wade is getting a chance to show what he can do. Wade hasn't been much better, striking out four times with zero walks in nine at-bats since getting recalled, but he does have a stellar plate discipline track record in the minors. Buxton could return as early as next week.

O'Hearn went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

O'Hearn has struggled to generate run production, especially lately. He entered Tuesday with one hit, two RBI and zero runs scored in his last 18 at-bats (seven games). O'Hearn ceded a start at first base to Hunter Dozier last weekend, but the Royals clearly have not lost all patience, so expect to continue seeing O'Hearn in the heart of the order against right-handed pitching.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Rangers.

Olson gave the Athletics a lead they never relinquished with his blast in the fourth inning. The first baseman is up to 10 homers, 22 RBI and 20 runs scored despite batting just .175 through 31 games. Fantasy managers that can weather his low average will want to take advantage of his powerful bat -- he'd be on pace for a 50-homer campaign in a full season.

Santana went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Monday's 3-2 loss to Minnesota.

Santana singled three times, including his RBI single in the seventh inning. For the season, he still owns a pedestrian .208./389/.323 slash line.

Tellez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Tellez will sit out for the third time in the four-game series, with all of his benchings coming when the Rays have started southpaws. Travis Shaw will serve as the Jays' designated hitter in Tellez's stead.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a triple and run scored in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

Guerrero tripled in the fourth inning and scored on Travis Shaw's single two batters later. It marked the 21-year-old's first triple on the season and the third of his career. Guerrero has underwhelmed a bit thus far in 2020, slashing a modest .245/.321/.429 on the season.
