White, who went 3-for-4 with two doubles in his Triple-A Tacoma debut Friday, is expected to remain the Rainiers for a limited time following his promotion from High-A Modesto, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

White made quite the jump in level of competition with the promotion, which general manager Jerry Dipoto confirmed was necessitated by Daniel Vogelbach being called up to the big-league club and Cameron Perkins (undisclosed) still being on the minor-league disabled list. Still, White didn't exactly look out of place in his first taste of Triple-A action Friday, and Divish confirms a long-term move to the Rainiers is possible after the All-Star break if White continues to play well after returning to the Nuts.

Santana went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and two RBI in Friday's 12-4 loss to Milwaukee.

Santana drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the fourth, followed by a solo homer in the seventh, but the Brewers had already pulled out to a huge lead. Across 61 games this season, Santana has struggled to hit for average (.223), although he's demonstrated plenty of power, smacking 10 home runs while driving in 37.

Manager Gabe Kapler said "it's not out of the question" for Hoskins (jaw) to be activated Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Hoskins has been on the disabled list since May 30 with a fractured jaw after fouling a pitch off his face, and could end up spending the minimum 10 days on the DL. The 25-year-old seems poised for a return in the near future, even if he Phillies opt to wait an additional day or two before activating him.

Voit slugged a solo home run in a pinch-hit at-bat during Thursday's win over the Marlins.

With the Cardinals holding a slim 3-1 lead in the bottom of the seventh, manager Mike Matheny pulled original pinch-hit option Greg Garcia after southpaw Adam Conley entered as a reliever, instead sending Voit to the plate. The 27-year-old responded by launching a 1-2 pitch 398 feet into the left-field seats, closing out the scoring on the afternoon. Voit has yet to draw a start at the major-league level this season, and Thursday's round tripper was his first extra-base hit of 2018.

Bell is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Bell will take a seat on the bench after going 1-for-5 with a double and one RBI during Thursday's contest versus the Dodgers. In his place, David Freese will man first base.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Thursday against the Royals.

Olson homered in the fourth inning off Jason Hammel for his 13th home run of the season. He extended his hitting streak to seven games, during which he has hit five home runs to go along with eight runs scored and 12 RBI. That stretch is reminiscent of his production late last season when he took the league by storm, and is a good reminder of his tremendous power upside.

Rizzo went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.

Rizzo went deep for the second straight contest and the fourth time in his last 10 games, giving him 10 home runs on the season. After a slow start to the year, the 28-year-old first baseman is heating up at the plate as he looks to record 30 or more home runs for the fifth straight season.

Bour went 3-for-4 with an RBI double in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Cardinals.

The Marlins managed just one run on four hits and Bour was responsible for nearly all of it. This was his first multi-hit effort since May 29 when he recorded three consecutive games. The 30-year-old slugger is slashing just .245/.371/.439 with 10 home runs in 2018.

Guerrero (leg) was placed on the 7-day minor-league disabled list Thursday, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Guerrero suffered what appeared to be some sort of hamstring injury during Wednesday's game, though the team has refrained from stating anything specific outside of calling it a leg injury. Toronto director of player development Gil Kim stated that the organization is just being cautious with this move, and that Guerrero isn't expected to be dealing with "anything serious." Expect an update on the 19-year-old's condition in the coming days after he gets some rest.

Guerrero (leg) is still being evaluated after prematurely exiting Wednesday's game with Double-A New Hampshire, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The injury is currently being described as a "hockey-esque" lower-body injury, with some suggesting that Guerrero could be dealing with a hamstring issue. He should be considered day-to-day until the Blue Jays update his status in the coming days.
