Cabrera went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Astros.

The homer was Cabrera's 12th of the year but his first since June 19, while the steal was only his fourth in 2019. The veteran infielder continues to hold down the starting spot at third base despite a .231/.319/.400 slash line, but the Rangers may be about to reduce his workload considerably and give Danny Santana a look at the hot corner.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 12-1 win over the Tigers.

It's his first multi-hit performance since the All-Star break. Guerrero isn't living up to the massive hype that accompanied him to the majors, but the 20-year-old is still offering glimpses of his upside despite a tepid .245/.322/.391 slash line.

Lowe went 3-for-3 with an RBI double and another two-bagger during a loss to the Yankees in the second game of a doubleheader on Thursday.

Lowe plated the Rays' only run with his timely double in the third inning, and his second two-bagger later in the contest qualified as his eighth extra-base hit of July overall. The rookie also has multiple hits in three of his last four games, and his season average has already seen a 52-point boost to .315 during the month.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during a loss to the Yankees in the first game of a doubleheader Thursday.

The Cuban slugged the second of back-to-back homers off Yankees starter Domingo German in the first inning, a 341-foot laser that also qualified as Diaz's third homer in the last four games. Diaz also has five multi-hit efforts over the last eight games overall, pushing his season line to a solid .279/.349/.500.

Cron went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory over Oakland.

In his third game since returning from the injured list due to an inflamed thumb, Cron delivered Minnesota's final run of the game with a 401-foot blast to left field in the eighth inning. The long ball snapped a season-long 12-game power drought for Cron, who is now slashing .265/.324/.502 with 18 homers and 55 RBI in 313 at-bats this season.

Voit went 1-for-3 with a solo home run to help the Yankees to a 5-1 victory in Game 2 of their doubleheader against the Rays on Thursday.

The 28-year-old checked in with his 18th long ball of the season with this fifth-inning solo blast off Charlie Morton. Now healthy after a brief spell on the injured list with an abdomen injury, Voit will look to continue his strong season that has seen him post an excellent .275/.387/.497 slash line and drive in 52 runs over 316 at-bats.

Dixon is not in the lineup Thursday against Cleveland.

Dixon was supposed to get the day off Wednesday but was added to the lineup when Niko Goodrum was scratched with a bruised finger. Goodrum is back and starting at first base Thursday.

Bour was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Bour will head back to the minors to free up a roster spot for Luke Bard, who was summoned from the minors in a corresponding move. The slugger showed some improvements at the plate during his most recent stint with the big club (.227/.271/.545 in 15 games), though he's still slashing just .183/.269/.387 on the season (160 plate appearances).

Dixon is starting at first base and hitting seventh Wednesday against the Indians, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Dixon was originally slated to get the day off, but an injury to Niko Goodrum (finger) during batting practice forced the first baseman into action. Through nine games this month, Dixon is slashing .207/.303/.379 with one home run and five RBI.

Dixon is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland.

Dixon hits the bench for the second time in three games. Harold Castro will handle first base in his absence.
