Bour went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a 5-3 win over the Rays on Saturday.

Bour homered for the second straight day since his recall from the minors, and he provided the Angels with a 4-0 lead with his opposite-field shot off Charlie Morton. He now has six homers on the season, and the Angels are hoping he can improve upon his .170/.267/.368 slash line.

Guerrero (hand) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Houston, Alyson Footer of MLB.com reports.

Guerrero left Friday's contest after getting struck in the hand by a pitch. His X-rays came back negative, but he'll spend at least one day out of the lineup. He could be able to hit if his hand improves over the course of the day, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports, suggesting that he's not expected to miss too much more time. Brandon Drury will start at third base in his place.

Diaz went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, a double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Angels on Friday.

Diaz's hot streak at the plate continued Friday, with his multi-hit effort serving as his fourth in the last eight games. The slugging infielder now has 23 extra-base hits (12 doubles, one triple, 10 home runs) and 27 RBI on the campaign despite a recent 11-game stint on the injured list, and he's boosted his season average an impressive 37 points to .282 since June 4.

Dixon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 13-4 loss to Cleveland.

Miguel Cabrera and Dixon went back-to-back in the second inning to make it 2-2, but Detroit's offense couldn't keep up from there. Dixon has been a pleasant surprise for the Tigers so far this season, as he's slashing .288/.305/.512 with seven home runs in 40 games. He slashed .178/.218/.356 with five home runs in 74 games with the Reds last year.

Bell went 1-for-3 with a triple and two RBI against the Marlins on Friday.

The extra-base hit was his first in eight games. Bell is slashing just .217/.321/.435 in June (56 plate appearances). He was bound to cool off following a torrid May and his strikeout rate has increased from 19 percent to 25 percent in June. Despite his recent regression, Bell leads the major leagues with 25 doubles, 63 RBI and 172 total bases.

Voit went 2-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 10-1 loss to the White Sox.

He was one of the few Yankees to have any kind of success against Lucas Giolito on the night. Voit isn't hitting for the same kind of batting average he did in 2018, but his 17 homers and 45 RBI have helped keep the offense going while Giancarlo Stanton (shoulder) and Aaron Judge (oblique) have been on the shelf.

Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

The first baseman's 18th home run of the year opened the scoring against Dodgers starter Rich Hill. Rizzo is up to 44 runs and 49 RBI while hitting .280/.391/.556 across 243 at-bats this season.

Beaty went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Cubs.

In his first game back from a hip flexor injury, Beaty made a big impact with a game-tying homer in the second inning. The rookie infielder is hitting .304 with nine RBI and six runs scored in 18 games this season.

Blandino (knee) was activated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

Blandino had been on the injured list since the beginning of the season after undergoing surgery to repair his ACL and MCL in July of 2018, but he appears to have finally returned to health. He'll remain in the minors for now, though a promotion could be in his future if he can get up to speed.

Guerrero left Friday's game against the Astros due to a left hand bruise.

Guerrero's X-rays came back negative, so the Blue Jays can breathe a sigh of relief. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward.
