White will sit out the Athletics' next couple of games after exiting Tuesday's contest with back soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

White doesn't seem to be facing a trip to the injured list just yet, but the A's will give him a few days off to rest before re-evaluating him to see how much progress he's made in his recovery. Jeff McNeil is likely to move back to first base as a result, opening up second-base reps for Michael Stefanic or Alika Williams.

House went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and three RBI during Tuesday's 9-5 win over Atlanta.

House gave Washington a 4-1 lead in the second inning with a two-run double before driving in another run on a sacrifice fly in the sixth. House has logged at least one RBI in five of his last six games, going 7-for-18 (.389) with one home run, 10 RBI and four runs scored in that span.

Pauley went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, four RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Royals.

Recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday morning, Pauley drew the start at third base and made an immediate impact, launching a two-run homer off Randy Dobnak in his first plate appearance. He added a two-run triple in the seventh to establish a career high with four RBI. Pauley has struggled to find much consistency at the major-league level this season, as he is now slashing .205/.237/.357 with two homers across 47 games.

White was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rangers with lower-back soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

White tweaked his back on a swing in the second inning, and he was removed from the game before he could finish his at-bat. The A's will take a closer look at him and should provide an update on his health in the near future.

Mayo isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Mayo has tallied at least one hit in each of his last six games, but the Orioles will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's contest. Samuel Basallo will fill in at first base, allowing Carlos Narvaez to start behind the plate.

Guzman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Guzman will take a day to regroup after going 2-for-25 with eight strikeouts over his last nine games. Oswald Peraza will get the nod at the hot corner and bat eighth.

The Blue Jays recalled Keys from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old was called up for his first taste of the majors in late June and had a .467 OPS in 12 games before returning to Buffalo a month later. Manager John Schneider said last week that Keys would begin playing some left field at Buffalo, but the top prospect still seems likely to see most of his action at first or third base for the Blue Jays.

The Yankees activated McMahon (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

McMahon was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left thumb sprain just over two weeks ago, but he's made a quick recovery and has been cleared to return following a brief rehab assignment. The 31-year-old will handle third base against right-handed pitching.

The Blue Jays activated Smith (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Smith is ready to return from a brief absence brought about by left hamstring inflammation. He'll slot into a utility role for Toronto in September.

The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Pauley has struggled to make an impact in the majors this year with a .194/.228/.306 slash line in 46 games, but he'll return to the big club Tuesday with rosters expanding to 28 players. The 25-year-old should serve as a depth infielder for the Marlins.
