Santana was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Royals due to left shoulder soreness, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Santana was initially penciled into the lineup as the designated hitter, but Mike Freeman will replace him and bat third. Santana should be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Court had his contract selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Court, who started the season in independent ball, will get his first taste of the majors after spending the past eight seasons as a journeyman. Prior to earning his first big-league promotion, the 31-year-old compiled a .279/.377/.581 triple-slash with nine home runs and two stolen bases in 37 games with Tacoma. Court figures to fill a utility role during his time with the big club. Tim Lopes (concussion) was placed on the 7-day IL while Ryon Healy (back/hip) was shifted to the 60-day IL in a pair of corresponding moves.

Mountcastle went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Triple-A Norfolk's 9-7 win over Rochester on Thursday.

The 22-year-old has caught fire at the plate lately for Norfolk, batting .357 with three home runs over his last 10 games. A first baseman by trade, Mountcastle has also dabbled at the hot corner and in left field for Norfolk, which could help his cause for landing an everyday role once he eventually gets the call to the big leagues. A promotion could be coming shortly after the trade deadline July 31, when the non-contending Orioles may have some openings in the lineup depending on who is dealt away.

Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs an RBI and a walk in the Rangers' 11-3 win over the Athletics on Thursday.

Cabrera was hitting just .220 in July coming into this contest, but he posted a big day in this blowout victory for Texas, lacing a trio of base hits and reaching base in four of his five plate appearances. He's now slashing .234/.318/.399 with 12 homers and 48 RBI through 352 plate appearances.

Calhoun went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles and two RBI in Wednesday's 3-2 victory at Dodger Stadium.

Calhoun swatted an RBI double in the first inning, then crushed a 403-foot homer off Ross Stripling in the fourth to give the Angels a 2-0 lead. He also tacked on a double in the ninth to cap off another successful night at the plate. Throughout the Angels' first ever two-game Freeway Series sweep over the Dodgers, Calhoun contributed two home runs and four doubles. Overall this season, the 31-year-old is batting .243/.332/.500 with 23 homers, 61 runs scored and 54 RBI.

Voit is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Twins.

After Tuesday's extra-inning affair, Voit will get a chance to rest in this one. DJ LeMahieu starts at first base while Gio Urshela starts at third base.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Nate Lowe and Ji-Man Choi will both head to the bench for the third day in a row with the Red Sox bringing another lefty (David Price) to the bump. Travis d'Arnaud will receive a start at first base while Austin Meadows handles the designated hitter spot.

Calhoun went 3-for-5 with a homer, two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored to contribute to Tuesday's victory over the Dodgers.

Calhoun's fingerprints were all over the victory, as he doubled in a run in the fifth inning and launched a solo shot in the seventh. His greatest contribution, however, may have come with his arm; he fired a perfect throw to nail Cody Bellinger at the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning to end the game and preserve the one-run win. The heroic performance came on the heels of a 1-for-16 skid that resulted in a rare day off Sunday. The 31-year-old is slashing .237/.328/483 with 22 homers and 52 RBI in 401 plate appearances this season.

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the A's.

His second-inning shot off Mike Fiers was an inside-the-park job and accounted for the game's only offense until the ninth inning. Gurriel now has 20 homers on the year, with an incredible 12 of them coming in July -- a month during which the 35-year-old is slashing a massive .405/.436/.959.

Olson went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Astros.

The first baseman's 21st homer of the year was a big one, as he took Roberto Osuna deep in the ninth inning to send the game to extras. Olson is now slashing a strong .262/.344/.555 through 69 games on the year.
