Abreu went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI on Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Abreu took Jack Flaherty yard for a two-run home run in the fourth inning -- his 10th of the season. He also added a run-scoring single two frames later to post his second multi-RBI effort in his last three games. Though he's predictably regressed from his stellar 2020 season, Abreu is still hitting .256/344/.494 with 24 runs scored and 39 RBI across 183 plate appearances on the campaign.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

Guerrero now has three home runs over his last two contests and continues to show why he's been one of the most productive hitters in all of baseball in 2021. The slugging first baseman now has 16 homers on the season and is also posting a 1.121 OPS.

Bell went 2-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Reds.

Bell kept the Nationals in the game with a ninth-inning blast off reliever Amir Garrett, but it wasn't enough to turn the tide. He's warming up with two homers over his last five appearances, a span in which he's recorded three multi-hit efforts.

Mountcastle was diagnosed with a bruised left hand Tuesday after X-rays came back negative, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old was hit by a 93 mph pitch during Wednesday's game against the Twins, which eventually forced him to leave the contest. Mountcastle appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day.

Voit will likely miss the Yankees' weekend series in Detroit, as his wife is expected to give birth Friday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Voit should appear in the rest of the mid-week series against the Blue Jays before missing three games against the Tigers. Mike Ford will likely see some time in the starting lineup in his absence.

Naylor is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.

Naylor hits the bench with lefty Tarik Skubal on the mound for the Tigers. Harold Ramirez will start in right field.

France (wrist) went 1-for-4 with a double in a win over the Athletics on Monday.

France was able to get on the board in his first game after spending the minimum amount of time on the injured list. France had been mired in an deep, extended slump prior to being sidelined -- he'd slashed .063/.196/.083 across the 56 plate appearances encompassing the 14 games leading into his sabbatical -- so perhaps he'll return to his early season level of production now that his wrist is presumably back to 100 percent.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk Monday against the White Sox.

Goldschmidt was one of two St. Louis players who recorded two hits in this game -- Yadier Molina was the other -- and he plated the team's lone run with an RBI single that scored Tommy Edman in the top of the sixth. The veteran first baseman has hit safely in all but two of his last 14 games, batting .304/.371/.500 in that stretch.

Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Monday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

Vaughn is developing a flair for the dramatic. On Sunday, he briefly tied the game against the Yankees with a ninth-inning blast off Aroldis Chapman, then during Monday's game, he went yard against St. Louis starter Kwang Hyun Kim in the bottom of the sixth for what turned out to be the game-winning hit. The rookie had one RBI during the month of April, but he's driven in 11 thus far in May.

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).
