Santana went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Reds.

Santana took Luis Castillo deep in the fourth inning for his 13th home run of the season. He continues to enjoy a resurgent season, recording at least one hit in 11 of his past 12 games. That has helped improve his season-long line to an impressive .286/.404/.519 across 277 plate appearances.

Dixon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.

Dixon also struck out twice, and he's now whiffing 33.9 percent of the time this season. While the 27-year-old does have a nice .289/.305/.509 slash line with six home runs, his high strikeout rate combined with a high BABIP (.397 entering Tuesday) suggest that some regression could be coming.

Bour was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Bour was sent to Triple-A in mid-May after posting a .584 OPS through 30 games, but he's appeared to find his stroke in the minors with a .292/.400/.611 slash line. The 31-year-old will start at first base and bat fifth in his return to the majors.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer as the Yankees defeated the Mets 12-5 in the first game of a doubleheader Tuesday.

Voit gave the Yankees a lead they would not relinquish with a three-run bomb to left in the fourth inning off Zack Wheeler. It was the 28-year-old's 16th homer of the season and the fifth in his last 16 games. Voit's slash line is now .263/.379/.508 for the year, and he has 44 RBI in 236 at-bats.

Casas went 4-for-5 with a home run, double and four RBI on Monday in Low-A Greenville's 9-2 win over Kannapolis.

The four-hit performance was the first of Casas' career since he was selected in the first round of the 2018 first-year player draft. The third baseman has delivered multi-hit efforts in three of his past six starts and maintains a .275/.350/.517 line for the season.

Tellez heads to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Tellez sits for the fourth time in six games, with each off day coming against a lefty starter. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will rest his legs as the designated hitter Tuesday, with Brandon Drury starting at the hot corner.

Cron is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against Seattle.

Cron has hit .333/.397/.596 over his last 14 contests. He'll get a rest Tuesday, with Marwin Gonzalez playing first base.

Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-3 win for the Angels over the Dodgers on Monday.

Calhoun was the only Angel to get to Hyun-Jin Ryu, as he touched up the Dodgers' red-hot lefty with a solo homer in the second inning for his 14th long ball of the season. The veteran was hitting just .194 at the end of April but he's turned it on since then, as this performance leaves him with a .243/.332/.496 slash line through 226 at-bats.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Olson took Drew Smyly deep in the second inning to drive in his fifth and sixth runs over the last six games. The slugging infielder now has nine homers on the season, a total he's compiled at a pace of just under one every three games. Olson's .227 average and .319 on-base percentage still have plenty of room for improvement, but his .504 slugging percentage and .823 OPS both qualify as the second-best figures of his career.

Diaz went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs in a 6-1 victory against the Red Sox on Sunday.

The 27-year-old had a nice weekend at Fenway Park, but his hot streak really started at Comerica Park on Thursday. Diaz is 9-for-23 (.391) in the last five games. The bad news is that hot streak has produced eight singles with just one homer and two RBI. Diaz is batting .270 with 10 home runs, 24 RBI, 31 runs and one steal in 189 at-bats during 2019.
