France (shoulder) threw 1.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out two in a Florida Complex League rehab start Monday.

France has slowly ramped up his throwing intensity, most recently throwing live batting practice in mid-July. He's been sidelined the entire 2025 season, so he's likely to have a lengthy rehab stint. An exact timeline for his return has yet to be established, but France should debut at some point late in the season.

Semien went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Semien stole his eighth base of the season in the first inning but was stranded there. He's yet to garner a hit in the second half, going 0-for-14 with two walks in the four games following the All-Star break.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Monday that Arias (ankle) should be back "pretty soon," if all continues to go well, MLB.com reports.

Arias began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus on Friday and played another game Sunday before the Clippers had Monday off. He started at shortstop in both but has yet to play a full game.

Kwan went 2-for-3 with three walks and a run scored in Monday's 10-5 win over the Orioles.

Kwan missed the first three games following the All-Star break with pain in his right wrist. He was back in his normal role Monday, starting in left field and batting leadoff. He batted .138 (4-for-29) in the seven games leading up to the All-Star Game.

Bieber (elbow) will make a rehab start Tuesday at High-A Lake County, MLB.com reports.

Bieber, who threw two innings (32 pitches) in a rehab start in the Arizona Complex League last week, is targeted for three innings and between 40 and 45 pitches Tuesday. That path suggests at least two more rehab outings for the right-hander before he rejoins the Guardians' rotation.

Rave went 2-for-4 with a home run, three total runs and two total RBI in Monday's 12-4 victory over the Cubs.

Rave's long ball was a 404-foot solo shot in the seventh inning, and he tacked on an RBI single in the eighth. The 27-year-old didn't go deep in any of his 35 contests prior to the All-Star break, but he's looked like a different hitter to begin the second half, going 4-for-10 with three home runs and six RBI through four games. Rave's power stroke isn't entirely out of nowhere -- he knocked 21 home runs over 132 contests with Triple-A Omaha last year and went deep nine times in 43 games with Omaha this season prior to getting called up in late May.

Perez went 2-for-5 with a pair of two-run home runs in a 12-4 win versus the Cubs on Monday.

Perez cleared the wall twice in the contest, belting a two-run homer in the fourth inning and another two-run shot in the eighth. The veteran backstop has gone deep four times in his past three games and has batted .467 (7-for-15) with six RBI in his first four contests coming out of the All-Star break. After a slow start to the season, Perez is up to 17 homers on the campaign, and his 60 RBI ranks second most among big-league backstops.

Cameron (4-4) earned the win over the Cubs on Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.

Cameron gave up a pair of long balls and four totals runs in the second inning, but he wasn't scored upon in any of his five other frames. The rookie hurler tied a season-worst mark by giving up seven hits, but he still managed to give the Royals good length with six frames. Cameron also logged a healthy 12 whiffs and seven punchouts, reaching the latter mark for the third straight game. He's had a few bumpy starts, but overall Cameron has put together a very solid rookie campaign, registering a 2.61 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 65:22 K:BB through 76 innings.

Kurtz went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored, a double and a walk in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

The A's managed just five hits in the contest, with two of those coming off Kurtz's bat. Both of the young slugger's knocks went for extra bases, as he doubled in the fourth frame and belted a solo homer in the sixth. Kurtz tallied just one long ball across his first 23 big-league games, but his power stroke has blossomed since then. Over his past 39 contests, the rookie has 18 home runs, 12 doubles, 43 RBI and a .319/.404/.792 slash line.

Jung went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two additional runs and a walk in a 7-2 win against the Athletics on Monday.

Jung was summoned from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday and started at third base while batting eighth upon his return. The 27-year-old excelled in his first game back with the big club, reaching base in all three of his plate appearances and belting a solo shot in the third inning to start the scoring. Jung has struggled with a .242/.290/.381 slash line this season, but he's shown some pop with nine home runs through 300 plate appearances.
