Mayo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Astros.

Mayo launched a solo shot in the sixth inning before adding a single in the eighth. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a strong July so far, posting a 1.015 OPS with three homers through 10 games this month. With Blaze Alexander landing on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a broken hand, Mayo should have a fairly clear path to an everyday role at third base if he's able to maintain his hot-hitting ways.

McMahon is not in the starting lineup for the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

McMahon will head to the bench as New York looks to avoid being swept Sunday. The 31-year-old went 0-for-3 in the matinee, and he'll be replaced at the hot corner by Jose Caballero in the series finale.

The Astros recalled Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Delgado will make his way back up to the big-league club after a two-week stint in Triple-A. The 26-year-old is expected to serve as a utility infielder for Houston after producing a .267/.313/.400 batting line with one home and four RBI in his first 33 big-league plate appearances.

Lewis (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting cleanup Sunday against the Cubs.

Lewis was held out of Saturday's starting nine due to left hamstring soreness but will rejoin the lineup Sunday after missing just one game. Since returning to the Twins in early June after a brief stay at Triple-A St. Paul, the 27-year-old has a .258/.319/.484 slash line with eight doubles, seven homers, three steals, 16 RBI and 19 runs in 33 games.

Ramirez (hand) may not require a rehab assignment before his activation from the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

Ramirez, who recently ramped up to facing live pitching, is still on target to meet his initial 5-7 week recovery timeline. If he avoids an assignment, Ramirez could rejoin the Guardians at some point in late July.

Keith went 4-for-4 with a run and two RBI in a 7-0 victory versus the Angels on Saturday.

All four of Keith's knocks were singles, and he added a sacrifice fly to round out a big day at the plate. Not only did the four hits represent a season-high mark, but Saturday snapped a 22-contest stretch without a multi-hit performance for Keith. He batted a paltry .169 with a .624 OPS during that span, so fantasy managers in shallow leagues are likely going to want to see a prolonged period of production before plucking Keith off the waiver wire.

The Athletics announced that Gelof will begin baseball activities once the stitches on his right knee are removed Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Gelof landed on the 10-day injured list July 10 right due to a right knee laceration. He'll ramp up his rehab program once the stitches in his knee are removed, and if Gelof responds well to workouts, he could bypass a rehab assignment before returning from the IL. Before hitting the shelf, Gelof slashed .273/.327/.476 with 11 home runs, eight steals, 41 runs and 29 RBI across 247 plate appearances with the Athletics.

Arias isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

Arias struck out three times in four at-bats during Cleveland's 7-1 loss in the matinee, and he'll now retreat to the bench while Daniel Schneemann mans the hot corner in Game 2.

The Mariners designated Mastrobuoni for assignment Saturday.

After having his contract selected by Seattle on July 3, Mastrobuoni made only three at-bats for the big-league club before being DFA'd on Saturday. This marks the second time the 30-year-old has been designated for assignment by Seattle this campaign. With Julio Rodriguez coming back from the 7-day injured list, the Mariners needed to make room for him on the active roster.

Lewis isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs due to left hamstring soreness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Manager Derek Shelton said Lewis has already begun to feel better since reporting to the ballpark Saturday, but the Twins will keep him on the bench as a precaution. His absence will put Josh Bell at first base, moving Ryan Jeffers to the DH spot and giving Victor Caratini a start at catcher.
