Brown went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Reds.

He took former teammate Sam Moll deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning before clubbing a game-winning, three-run homer off Emilio Pagan in the eighth. Brown snapped a 16-game power drought with the performance, but in 34 contests since returning to the majors just before the All-Star break, he's slashing an impressive .300/.369/.540 with seven home runs, 13 runs and 19 RBI. Tyler Soderstrom (wrist) is making progress in his recovery but isn't expected to be back in the lineup until at least mid-September, giving Brown more time to rack up production as Oakland's primary option at first base before he gets some competition for at-bats against right-handed pitching.

Naylor went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

Naylor plated a run in the first inning on a fielder's choice before adding an RBI single in the seventh as part of a four-run frame. This was his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 12 -- over 14 games in between, he hit a paltry .100 with two home runs and five RBI. The first baseman is at a .237/.319/.460 slash line with 28 homers, 94 RBI, 72 runs scored, 20 doubles and five stolen bases over 126 contests this season.

Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Angels.

After going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts Tuesday, Torkelson turned the page quickly and helped lead Detroit to the narrow victory. In 11 games since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo, the 25-year-old is batting .333 with three home runs and eight RBI. Torkelson seems to be settling in after a sluggish start to his third MLB campaign, which ultimately got him sent down in early June.

Pasquantino went 4-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland.

Pasquantino set a new season high with four hits Wednesday, his ninth multi-hit game of August. The 26-year-old has excelled this month, batting .271 with seven home runs, 25 RBI and 17 runs scored in 114 plate appearances. Pasquantino's stellar August has propelled him to fourth in MLB with 97 RBI as he continues his impressive breakout season. Overall, the first-baseman is slashing .264/.317/.449 with 19 home runs, 97 RBI and 64 runs scored in 130 games.

Rice is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Rice will remain on the bench for the fourth consecutive game, with the Yankees facing left-handed starters in each of those contests. Platoon mate DJ LeMahieu will once again spell Rice at first base.

Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

After going 3-for-15 at the dish while starting in each of the Mariners' last four contests, Turner will head to the bench for the series finale. Three of Turner's previous four starts came against left-handed pitchers, and the Mariners are seemingly viewing him as more of a short-side platoon player at this stage of his career.

Rizzo (forearm) went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in a rehab appearance with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday.

Rizzo began his rehab assignment Friday and has gone 2-for-6 with two walks, two strikeouts and two runs through three contests. The veteran first baseman is closing in on a return from the 60-day injured list, and he took another step toward that goal Tuesday by playing first base after serving as the designated hitter in his first two games in the minors. Rizzo could immediately reclaim his starting role at first base upon his return to the big club, as Ben Rice has batted .063 with no extra-base hits and a 28.9 percent strikeout rate over 32 at-bats in August following a promising start to his big-league tenure.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Diaz supplied the Rays with some insurance in the eighth, hitting a solo home run to put them ahead 3-1 in a game that wound up finishing 3-2. The home run was only his second since Aug. 3, but he's still been hitting the ball. Since Aug. 17, Diaz is slashing .351/.390/.514 with four extra-base hits, five RBI and two runs while striking out just under 10 percent of the time. His power numbers have dipped significantly since last season, but he's been able to display his usual contact ability. For the season, he's slashing .275/.330/.400 with 11 homers, 57 RBI, 46 runs and a 39:81 BB:K in 533 plate appearances.

Kavadas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Detroit, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Kavadas started the previous five games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 1-for-17 with eight strikeouts during that span. Brandon Drury will serve as the designated hitter while Jacob Lopez starts at second base against Tigers lefty Brant Hurter.

Schanuel (back) is starting at first base and batting third Tuesday against the Tigers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The 22-year-old sat out the past two games due to a back issue, but he'll rejoin the starting nine following Monday's team off day. Schanuel has a .250/.360/.342 slash line with one homer and a 12:15 BB:K through 20 games in August.
