Collins went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Royals.

Collins' fifth-inning solo shot gave the White Sox a lead they would never relinquish. It was the second homer of the season for the 26-year-old catcher/DH, who is batting just .220 over 41 at-bats.

Canha went 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 win over Tampa Bay.

Canha has been surprisingly active on the basepaths this season. Through 33 games, he is already within one of tying his career-best mark of seven steals set back in his rookie 2015 campaign. The veteran outfielder is contributing in other ways as well, knocking five home runs and ranking third in the league with 27 runs scored. The overall numbers make Canha a viable fantasy asset despite the fact that he is batting an unexciting .252.

Lewis went 3-for-5 with a double in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.

Lewis produced his first multi-hit game since April 23. The reigning AL Rookie of the Year is slashing .222/.263/.426 in 14 games since returning from a knee injury that delayed the start of his season.

Solak went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

Solak doubled in a run and later came around to score in the first inning. The breakout star is slashing .289/.364/.484 with 11 extra-base hits and 23 runs scored this season.

Torrens is not in the lineup Friday against the Rangers.

Torrens is 6-for-16 with a home run, three doubles, three RBI and three runs over his past four games but nonetheless finds himself on the bench for the second straight contest. Tom Murphy will receive another start at catcher Friday for Seattle.

Buxton was placed on the 10-day IL with a Grade 2 hip strain and will be out for multiple weeks, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

An MRI revealed the hip strain after the center fielder left Thursday's loss to the Rangers, and per manager Rocco Baldelli, his absence will extend beyond the minimum 10 days. Buxton was having an MVP-caliber campaign, hitting .370 with nine home runs, five stolen bases and a 1.180 OPS in 24 games.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a home run in Thursday's loss against the Blue Jays.

Canha launched his fifth homer of this season when he took Hyun Jin Ryu deep in the first inning, but he was quiet the rest of the game. The slugger is only hitting .248 through 117 at-bats, but his .380 OBP has led to 27 runs scored and five steals.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Rays.

The left-handed hitter went yard against Josh Fleming in the third inning. It was the 10th dinger for the electric Ohtani, who's now slashing .273/.322/.645 in 2021.

Reyes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in a 4-0 win against the Royals on Thursday.

Reyes cranked his eighth home run in the eighth inning off Jake Brentz. He leads Cleveland with 22 RBI, a .283 batting average and a .966 OPS. The 25-year-old has only four hits in his last seven games, but three of those were extra-base knocks. In addition, he's walked five times during that stretch.

Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Thursday against the Astros.

Stanton homered for the third consecutive game and also extended his hitting streak to 12 games. In that span, he's gone 25-for-52 with six home runs, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored. After a slow start to the campaign, Stanton is suddenly hitting .312/.364/.606 with nine long balls, 23 RBI and 16 runs scored across 118 plate appearances.
