Diaz went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's win over Cincinnati.

Diaz extended Tampa Bay's lead to 4-0 in the second inning, blasting a three-run homer off Nick Lodolo with two outs. It's Diaz's fifth home run of the year, just four shy of his total in 558 at-bats last season. The 31-year-old Diaz is now slashing .259/.380/.552 with 12 RBI and 15 runs scored through 56 at-bats.

Kirilloff (wrist) has been moved up to Triple-A St. Paul to continue his rehab assignment, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Kirilloff played in four games with Low-A Fort Myers, going 3-for-12 with a home run. He's already played in back-to-back games and should only need a few more contests before he's ready to rejoin the Twins as he completes his recovery from right wrist surgery.

Montero is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Pirates.

The 24-year-old will take a seat after making two errors at third base in Monday's blowout loss versus Pittsburgh, and manager Bud Black said he plans to "readdress" the position defensively, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. It remains to be seen exactly how Montero's role changes, but a move back to the minors doesn't appear out of the question. Ryan McMahon is handling the hot corner Tuesday with Alan Trejo covering second base.

Beaty was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Brett Wisely is getting the call in a corresponding roster move. Beaty has gone 1-for-5 with zero walks and two strikeouts in a couple different stints with the Giants this year.

O'Hearn is starting at first base and batting ninth for the Orioles on Tuesday versus the Nationals.

It's his second start in five games since O'Hearn was added to the roster last week. He's 3-for-5 with five RBI over that stretch. With O'Hearn handling first base, Ryan Mountcastle is in the designated hitter spot.

Steer (quad/knee) remains out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Steer also sat out Monday after experiencing some discomfort in his right knee and quad in Sunday's series finale against the Phillies. Nick Senzel will play third base and bat eighth for the Reds on Tuesday night versus Tampa Bay.

Manzardo is slashing .262/.333/.548 with three home runs and a 10:5 K:BB in 48 plate appearances for Triple-A Durham.

The Rays didn't mess around, sending Manzardo to Triple-A this year after he dominated in 30 games at Double-A to close last season. Manzardo also set a career high in exit velocity (111.9 mph) on one of his home runs this season, and his 42.4 percent hard-hit rate is up from the 33.5 percent mark he logged in 2022.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in Monday's victory over the Mariners.

Voit recorded just two hits over his first 16 at-bats of the season, but he has picked up the pace, going 7-for-17 (.412) over the last four games he appeared in. He is still searching for the power, though, as his double Monday was his first extra-base hit of the season.

Arias is will start at first base and bat second in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

It's the second game in a row that Arias has been in the No. 2 spot for the Guardians after he filled in at shortstop for Amed Rosario (back) on Sunday. Arias is just 1-for-12 versus lefties this season, but that one hit was a home run. He'll go up against southpaw Matthew Boyd in this contest.

Naylor is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

The Tigers are throwing lefty Matthew Boyd in the first game and southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez in the nightcap. The lefty-hitting Naylor has made just one start against a left-hander this season but could get a shot in the second game. Gabriel Arias is handling first base in the first contest.
