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.

Wade (thumb) threw Tuesday but remains unable to catch, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Wade has been out with a dislocated thumb on his glove hand since early July. Given that he's still not able to use the thumb, his return doesn't appear to be imminent.

Lowe remains on the bench against lefty Chris Sale and the Red Sox on Tuesday, source reports.

The Red Sox will trot out a third straight southpaw, David Price, on Wednesday, so Lowe could wind up stuck on the bench all series. Travis d'Arnaud remains the starter at first base in his absence.

Diaz was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left foot contusion, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Diaz was forced to exit Monday's game against the Red Sox after fouling a ball off his foot. He'll now miss at least 10 days, but X-rays confirmed that he was able to avoid a fracture. Matt Duffy (hamstring) was activated off the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move and should spend a fair amount of time at third base in Diaz's absence, with Mike Brosseau and Joey Wendle also in the mix.

Gurriel went 3-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 11-1 win over Oakland.

Gurriel took Homer Bailey deep for a two-run shot as part of a seven-run third inning, where he also registered an RBI single. The 35-year-old infielder is riding an 11-game hitting streak and has seen his OPS swell from .726 to .847 since the start of July. He's racked up a ridiculous 11 homers and 26 RBI in just 17 games this month.

Diaz left Monday's game against the Red Sox after fouling a ball off his left foot, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz immediately went down after fouling a ball off his own foot, and after being looked at by the team trainer, he hobbled off the field. Nate Lowe entered the contest with an 0-2 count and finished the at-bat. Diaz will be considered day-to-day until the severity of his injury is uncovered. He was headed for X-rays late Monday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Cron was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with right thumb inflammation.

Cron spent 10 days on the injured list earlier in the month due to the same injury. The first baseman appeared in five games after returning -- going 4-for-19 with a home run in those contests -- but apparently still didn't feel right, prompting him to receive a cortisone shot and head back to the IL, according to Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com. The move is retroactive to July 21, making Cron eligible to return July 31, should he prove ready. Cody Stashak was summoned to the majors to take Cron's roster spot.

Lowe is not starting against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez and the Red Sox on Monday.

Lowe has hit .289 with five homers in 13 games since returning to the big leagues. He's started against just three of the seven lefties the Rays have faced over that time period. Travis d'Arnaud gets the nod at first base in his absence.
