Alonso went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Angels.

Mired in a 2-for-33 slump over the prior 10 games, Alonso broke out by taking Jake Eder deep in the third inning before adding a single in the seventh. The slugging first baseman is up to 22 homers and 80 RBI on the season, with the latter number sitting third in the National League behind the Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez (86) and the Cubs' Seiya Suzuki (81).

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Mountcastle (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Norfolk, Brendan Mortensen of MASNSports.com reports.

Mouncastle won't be eligible for activation until July 30, so he'll likely stick around in Norfolk through the next week to compile at-bats before the Orioles add him back to the roster. Before going down in late May with a right hamstring strain, Mountcastle had gotten off to a poor start to the season at the plate, batting just .246/.280/.348 with two home runs in 200 plate appearances. An everyday role may not be waiting for Mountcastle once he's reinstated, though his outlook for playing time would improve if the non-contending Orioles move impending free agent Ramon Laureano prior to the July 31 trade deadline.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

For the second day in a row, the right-handed-hitting Goldschmidt will give way to the left-handed-hitting Ben Rice at first base and head to the bench while the Blue Jays send another righty (Chris Bassitt) to the bump. Though the Yankees won't completely close the door on having Goldschmidt play versus righties, he may have to settle for more of a part-time role in those matchups since he's produced a weak .246/.290/.333 (75 wRC+) over 271 plate appearances against them so far this season.

The Athletics designated Davidson for assignment Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for lefty Ben Bowden, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. He was a first-round pick back in 2019 but hasn't developed as hoped, slashing .263/.412/.397 in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season as a 27-year-old. Davidson offers some positional versatility and is still young enough that he might draw some interest on waivers.

Kemp is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox.

Kemp had started each of the previous four contests at third base as an injury replacement for Alec Bohm (rib), but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Edmundo Sosa will handle the hot corner and bat eighth as the Phillies try to complete the sweep.

Toro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

With southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the mound for the Phillies, the switch-hitting Toro will give way at first base to the right-handed-hitting Romy Gonzalez, who has been one of the Red Sox's top performing hitters versus lefties this season. Toro and Gonzalez are likely to operate in a quasi-platoon at first base for the foreseeable future, unless Boston brings in an upgrade at the position prior to the July 31 trade deadline.

Vaughn is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Seattle.

Vaughn had started each of the previous five games for the Brewers but will get some rest in Wednesday's series finale. Tyler Black will handle first base in Vaughn's stead.

Toglia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Toglia will take a seat for the second time in the series while he's batting just .155/.231/.239 with a 39.7 percent strikeout rate over his last 20 games. Kyle Farmer will get the nod at first base Wednesday, and Toglia could soon be headed back to Triple-A Albuquerque if he's unable to cut down on the strikeouts in his future starts.

Olson went 3-for-5 in Tuesday's loss to the Giants.

Atlanta managed only eight hits in total, so Olson's consistent presence on the basepaths didn't produce any offense in a shutout loss. The first baseman has hit safely in six straight games, and through 17 contests in July he's slashing .290/.372/.478 with four doubles, three homers, 10 runs and 12 RBI.

Horwitz went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Tigers.

The 27-year-old first baseman has been getting regular turns as the Pirates' leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching in July, and Horwitz has begun to take advantage of the opportunity. He's racked up seven hits across the last three games, an impressive turnaround after he'd gone 2-for-25 in his prior eight contests. On the season, Horwitz is slashing .249/.318/.348 with two homers, 19 RBI and 22 runs in 201 plate appearances.
