Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Orioles.

The rookie infielder drove in three runs for a second straight game as he enjoys his trip to Baltimore, and Gonzalez has erupted for 12 total RBI in the last five contests. Since making his big-league debut May 31, Gonzalez has delivered a .260/.341/.397 slash line with two homers, 11 runs and 17 RBI in 24 games.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

Riley Greene stole the show with two home runs Tuesday evening at Yankee Stadium, but Torkelson also managed to extend his strong recent stretch of play. Over his last 10 games, the Detroit first baseman is batting .324 with two long balls and eight RBI. On the season, Torkelson now has 14 home runs and 37 RBI across 85 contests.

Guerrero was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets due to back tightness.

The star first baseman departed Friday's contest against the Cubs due to a back issue, but he didn't miss any additional time until being scratched from Tuesday's starting nine. Guerrero should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated. Sean Keys will shift to first base for Toronto.

Naylor went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Naylor was held hitless for the third time in 11 games since he returned from shin and wrist issues that cost him a few contests in the middle of the month. He picked up his second steal in that span Monday, giving the first baseman 15 thefts on 18 attempts this season. He's also batting .254 with a .684 OPS, eight home runs, 34 RBI, 31 runs scored and 11 doubles over 79 contests.

Contreras went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-3 win over the Nationals.

Contreras launched a 421-foot, three-run blast over the Green Monster to put the Red Sox on the board in the first inning. The first baseman got just one more plate appearance before being ejected by first base umpire Nic Lentz following a strikeout in the second frame, with Andruw Monasterio taking over at first base. Contreras has enjoyed an excellent 2026 campaign, slashing .282/.376/.533 with 18 homers, 53 RBI, 41 runs and a stolen base across 81 games.

Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 8-2 win over Baltimore.

The White Sox fell into an early 1-0 hole, but Gonzalez got his team on the board in the top of the third with an RBI double. He would strike again in the ninth to tack on a pair of insurance runs, doing so with a single to center field. Gonzalez has delivered key run production for his club lately, tallying nine RBI over his last four games. The 24-year-old should continue to see his name in the starting nine while swinging a hot bat, at least until Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

Manzardo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Rhys Hoskins will draw the start at first base while southpaw Tyler Alexander opens the game for Texas, but the left-handed-hitting Manzardo could replace Hoskins at some point later in the contest once the Rangers send a right-hander to the bump. Manzardo had started each of the Guardians' last 12 games but went just 8-for-42 (.190 average) with 15 strikeouts during that stretch.

Walker went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Tigers in 10 innings.

Walker gave Houston some breathing room in the top of the 10th inning with his three-run blast off Kenley Jansen, his 19th homer of the year. In his last two games, Walker's gone 5-for-9 with three extra-base hits after going just 2-for-27 over his prior seven contests. The veteran first baseman is now slashing .240/.311/.476 with 56 RBI and 45 runs scored across 351 plate appearances this season.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Nationals.

Alonso socked his eighth homer of June on Sunday, extending his on-base streak to nine games in the process. The All-Star first baseman is putting together another strong season at the dish during his debut year with the Orioles, slashing .252/.342/.478 with 19 big flies, 15 doubles and 58 RBI over 368 plate appearances.

Torkelson went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Astros.

Torkelson started the contest on the bench and didn't enter until the eighth, but he provided a single in his first at-bat, then delivered his 13th home run of the season in the 10th. It was the slugger's first long ball since June 15, and he went just 7-for-37 with 11 strikeouts in between homers. Torkelson remains a boom-or-bust fantasy option who can be frustrating due to his propensity for falling into slumps.
