Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.

While Gurriel has taken full advantage of a visit to Coors Field by homering three times in two games, his hot streak extends back much further than that. He's now hit safely in eight straight games and 17 of his last 19, slashing .346/.388/.692 over that stretch with seven home runs and 14 RBI.

Calhoun went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

All three hits were singles, but it was still a strong performance from the veteran outfielder. After slashing a weak .191/.276/.394 in June, Calhoun has come out firing since the calendar flipped, collecting five hits in the first two games of July.

Cabrera (back) is starting at third base and batting sixth Wednesday against the Angels.

He missed a couple games with lower-back tightness, but will be back in the mix against righty Griffin Canning. Cabrera hit .236 with two home runs in 89 at-bats during the month of June.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday in the Athletics' 8-6 win over the Twins.

Any concerns about Olson's ability to hit for power coming off March surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his right hand have dissipated at this point. Since coming off the injured list in early May, Olson has mashed 17 home runs in just 50 games, putting him on track to surpass his career-high 29 from 2018, when he needed the full 162-game slate to achieve that production.

Vaughn went 4-for-5 with two doubles and a home run for the AZL White Sox on Tuesday.

Vaughn, the White Sox's first-round pick (third overall) in the 2019 draft, showcased why he was deemed worthy of being selected that high. He profiles has an elite hitter with power and is good enough defensively to stick as a first baseman.

Solano went 3-for-6 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Padres.

The veteran utility infielder received the start at shortstop and acted as the Giants' leadoff man, a role he's been filling lately when the team opposes left-handed pitching. He kicked the game off with his first home run of the season as the Giants throttled San Diego for the second straight night. Solano's slashing a surprising .311/.342/.392 through 28 games since joining the Giants, but his .355 BABIP suggests a cool-down could happen at any time.

Flores (foot) has resumed full baseball activity, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Flores is taking groundballs and moving around freely. This, after the injured second baseman was already swinging a bat in a controlled environment. Flores, who fractured his right foot and hasn't played since May 19, is close to beginning a rehab assignment.

Gurriel went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.

The 35-year-old took German Marquez deep in the second inning and Jake McGee in the seventh, with the latter blast proving to be the game-winner. Half of Gurriel's 10 homers on the year have come in his last seven games, a stretch during which he's slashing a stunning .414/.452/1.034.

Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Rangers.

Calhoun entered Tuesday's contest 4-for-34 with 12 strikeouts over his last 10 games, so it was a much-needed effort from the outfielder. The 31-year-old is slashing .229/.319/.471 with 18 home runs though 81 games this season.

Voit (abdomen) is expected to return for the Yankees' series after the All-Star break, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

An MRI revealed a slight abdominal strain for the first baseman, sending him to the 10-day injured list, but the timing of the All-Star break means he may wind up missing just six more games. Edwin Encarnacion and DJ LeMahieu are expected to cover first base in his absence, with at-bats opening up for other players at the designated hitter and third base spots.
