Guerrero went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's loss to the Rays.

Guerrero clobbered a 461-foot solo homer in the fourth inning, and he followed that up with a two-run blast in the bottom of the eighth. The slugger continues to see the ball well, leaving the yard four times in his last four contests. He now sits with 15 long balls to go along with 39 RBI and a .333 batting average on the year (46 games).

France (wrist) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Athletics, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

France was moved to the injured list May 14 due to inflammation in his left wrist, but he's been cleared to return after the 10-day minimum. The 26-year-old will return to the starting nine for Monday's series opener, per Corey Brock of The Athletic.

Alonso (hand) remains on track for a brief stay on the injured list, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Alonso is eligible to return to the roster Saturday. The Mets didn't specify exactly when he'd be back, but it looks as though a minimum-length absence is on the table.

Hiura was recalled by the Brewers on Monday.

Hiura was sent to Triple-A Nashville at the beginning of May, and he slashed .438/.526/.906 with three home runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases in nine minor-league games. Hitting the ball hard has never been a problem for Hiura, but it is a bit concerning that he struck out at a 34.2 percent clip during this latest run at Triple-A. The Brewers would like him to cement himself as the primary first baseman, but Daniel Vogelbach could still see some starts against righties until Hiura rounds into form.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Tampa Bay is rolling out a lefty-heavy lineup to counter Blue Jays right-hander Trent Thornton in the series finale, so the righty-hitting Diaz will head to the bench, ending a string of six consecutive starts. Diaz went 0-for-14 in the first three games of the series with Toronto, dropping his season average to .255.

The Brewers plan to recall Hiura from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Monday's series opener against the Padres, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

After Hiura posted a .513 OPS while striking out in 36 percent of his plate appearances over his first 26 games of the season in the majors, the Brewers sent him to Triple-A on May 3 to regain some confidence at the dish. While the 24-year-old still turned in a bloated 34.2 percent strikeout rate with Nashville over the past three weeks, he at least rediscovered his power stroke (three home runs and six doubles in 38 plate appearances). Though he'll be moving back up to the big club, Hiura isn't a lock to recapture an everyday role at first base, where Daniel Vogelbach has delivered a respectable .784 OPS since Hiura was demoted. The righty-swinging Hiura may have to initially settle for the short side of a platoon at the position with the lefty-hitting Vogelbach until the Brewers feel more confident Hiura can handle a full-time role.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Angels.

Olson drove in the first run of the game with a 445-foot solo blast to right field to lead off the second inning. He added a base hit in the third and later walked and scored in the seventh. The 27-year-old is slashing .268/.354/.562 with 12 home runs, 28 RBI, 26 runs scored and a 19:31 BB:K. Olson continues to be one of the premier power-hitting players in baseball and has improved his concentration at the plate. He has only struck out in 17.7 percent of his plate appearances, which is a significant improvement after striking out 31.4 percent of the time last season.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over Detroit.

Santana came up clutch in the bottom of the ninth, socking a walkoff homer off Detroit reliever Michael Fulmer. The blast was Santana's ninth of the season. The 35-year-old has added 31 RBI, 29 runs scored, a pair of stolen bases and a .257/.396/.461 slash line across 192 plate appearances. He sports an 18.2 percent walk rate and just a 14.1 percent strikeout rate as a key part of Kansas City's offense.

Vaughn went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees.

Vaughn pinch hit for Adam Eaton in the top of the ninth inning Sunday, and he completed Chicago's late-game rally by tying the contest. Vaughn had gone hitless with a walk and five strikeouts in his last 13 at-bats, but he's now hitting .220 with three home runs, 17 runs and 10 RBI this year.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees.

Abreu put the White Sox on the board with his two-run blast in the top of the sixth inning, and the team eventually tied the game in the top of the ninth. However, the Yankees drew a walk in the bottom of the ninth inning to bring in the game-winning run. Abreu is now slashing .255/.339/.483 with nine home runs, 35 RBI and 23 runs this season.
