Tellez is not starting Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Tellez has joined the team after being acquired from the Blue Jays on Tuesday, and he's officially been added to the 26-man and 40-man rosters with Daniel Robertson being designated for assignment. He won't start the first half of the twin bill, but he figures to be available off the bench and serve as a candidate to start Game 2.

Vaughn isn't starting Wednesday against Minnesota.

Vaughn had started in each of the last nine games, and he recorded hits in seven of those appearances. The 23-year-old hit .355 with two home runs, two doubles, seven runs and five RBI during that time, but he'll get a breather while Billy Hamilton starts in left field and bats eighth.

Diaz isn't starting the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Diaz had started each of the last three games, and he went 4-for-11 with a home run, a double, five runs, two RBI and two walks during that time. Ji-Man Choi will start at first base while Austin Meadows serves as the designated hitter.

Naylor (ankle) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Naylor was carted off the field after taking a gruesome hit to his lower body during a collision June 27, and he later underwent surgery to repair multiple fibula fractures and ligament tears. The 24-year-old won't return during the 2021 season, but the team isn't yet sure whether he could be ready for spring training next year, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Voit went 5-for-6 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 12-1 win over the Mariners.

Voit anchored a 12-run, 18-hit offensive display Tuesday night with a career-high five hits, including a two-run single in the second inning and an RBI single in the third. The 30-year-old has started off a bit slow since his return from the injured list in late June; however, he's building up some momentum heading into the All-Star break after hitting safely in each of his last three contests. For the year, Voit's slashing .237/.302/.381 with three homers, 10 RBI, 12 runs scored and a 7:31 BB:K over 106 plate appearances.

France went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 12-1 loss to the Yankees.

France was the only Mariner with multiple hits on the evening and drove in the team's lone run on an RBI single to left-center field in the sixth. The 26-year-old has been a bright spot so far this season, slashing .268/.353/.428 with eight homers, 35 RBI, 37 runs scored and a 25:56 BB:K over 317 plate appearances. France is now working on a seven-game hitting streak.

Hoskins went 3-for-5 with a home run, a pair of doubles and four RBI in Tuesday's 15-10 win over the Cubs.

The first baseman has gone 8-for-14 with three homers, four doubles and nine RBI in his last four games. Hoskins hit a two-run double in the second inning, a sacrifice fly in the fourth and a solo shot in the seventh to pile up four RBI in Tuesday's contest. He's raised his slash line to .236/.313/.492 with the recent surge. The 28-year-old has 20 long balls, 53 RBI, 45 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases in 83 games so far.

Calhoun (hamstring) is scheduled to play in an AZL game Thursday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

The veteran outfielder was set to run the bases Monday to test out his injured left hamstring, and things apparently went well as he's progressing to game action. Calhoun should continue ramping up his rehab work at Arizona's spring facility before embarking on a rehab assignment.

Dalbec isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Angels, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Dalbec started each of the last three games after returning from a hamstring injury, and he went 2-for-10 with four strikeouts. Danny Santana will take his place at first base and bat eighth.

The Brewers traded Toronto for Tellez on Tuesday in exchange for Trevor Richards and Bowden Francis, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

The lefty slugger joins a first base corps that's without Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring) until August. Further, Keston Hiura's inconsistencies necessitated the addition of another first baseman. The Blue Jays optioned Tellez to Triple-A on June 22 after he hit .209 with four homers and eight RBI in 139 at-bats for them this season. The exact details of the trade are unclear at this time, but righty pitcher Richards is the main piece being dealt to the Blue Jays.
