Guerrero went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Orioles.

The Jays piled up 17 hits and 12 runs on the night, and Guerrero got his share. The rookie has now produced back-to-back three-hit games, pushing his slash line up to .268/.329/.463 with seven homers and 19 RBI through his first 39 big-league contests.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a double in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Yankees.

Abreu, who leads the White Sox with 52 RBI, has gone six straight games without driving in a run, his longest such stretch of the season. His OPS (.796) is well off his career mark (.862), but Abreu's bat remains relevant due to his success with runners in scoring position (.902 OPS).

France went 1-for-4 with a solo home run for Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

France left the yard for a third straight game for the Chihuahuas with a sixth-inning solo blast. He was optioned on June 6 after Fernando Tatis Jr. was activated from the injured list, leaving him without a spot on the infield, but he's been lighting it up in Triple-A all season, as he's now sporting a ridiculous .426/.504/.901 slash line with 12 homers and 38 RBI. However, that didn't translate much during his time with the big club, as he slashed just .235/.290/.357 in 98 at-bats before he was sent back down.

Cron went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Mariners.

Cron took Tayler Scott deep in the seventh inning to record his 15th homer of the season. He continues to provide power production in bundles, racking up eight extra-base hits and 11 RBI in his past 11 games. For the season, Cron has maintained an impressive .275/.337/.541 line across 246 plate appearances.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup Thursday against the Tigers, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

O'Hearn will take a seat for Thursday's series finale with left-hander Matthew Boyd starting for the Tigers. In his place, Cheslor Cuthbert is starting at first base and hitting third.

Beaty (hip flexor) has been activated from the 10-day injured list, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

The Dodgers activated Beaty after the minimum amount of time, as Corey Seager heads to the 10-day IL with a hamstring injury in a corresponding move. Beaty was 12-for-42 with seven RBI in 17 games before the injury.

Hiura is 9-for-29 (.310) with two home runs, two doubles and seven RBI in seven games since being optioned to Triple-A San Antonio.

Hiura hit the ball well with San Antonio (1.106 OPS) prior to making his big-league debut May 14, hit the ball well for the Brewers (.864 OPS) over his 17 games with the big club, and has continued hitting the ball well since returning to the Triple-A level (.941 OPS). The Brewers have not indicated when they plan to call him up again, but that day may not be too far down the road -- and he figures to hit the ball well again whenever it comes.

Diaz went 3-for-5 with an RBI double and was caught stealing on his only attempt in a loss to the Athletics on Wednesday.

Diaz tried his best to set the table from the top of the order, but the hitters behind him repeatedly failed to get him around the bases. The 27-year-old's multi-hit effort was just the latest installment of his successful month at the plate, one during which he's generated a .326 average partly on the strength of four multi-hit tallies. Diaz has notably proven to be a rousing success as a leadoff hitter overall this season, as he's now hitting .360 with 10 extra-base hits (four doubles, one triple, five home runs) and 10 RBI out of that slotting in the lineup.

Votto says he is "totally fine" after exiting Wednesday's game with back stiffness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Votto missed two games in late April with the same injury, but hopefully with Thursday's off day, he will be able to get back into the lineup for the weekend series against the Rangers. Derek Dietrich would likely get a start at first base if Votto needs to miss a game.

Bell went 2-for-5 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.

The first baseman broke out of an 11-game homer drought -- his longest of the year -- with a blast off Luke Jackson in the ninth inning that briefly gave a Bucs a 7-6 lead. The cold stretch helped lower Bell's slash line on the season to a still-impressive .325/.392/.663 with 19 home runs and 61 RBI through 66 games.
