The Athletics recalled Alvarez from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez has slashed .276/.323/.310 during his time with Oakland this season in his first go-round in the big leagues. The 30-year-old offers defensive versatility and should operate as a backup at multiple spots.

Casas went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays. He was 0-for-2 with a walk in the afternoon game.

The afternoon game was the resumption of a June 26 contest suspended by rain. Casas, who was on the injured list at that time, took over at first base for the departed Dominic Smith. The two hits in the nightcap gave him six multi-hit efforts in the 10 games since coming off the IL. Casas is batting .359/.419/.538 with three extra-base hits (two home runs), six RBI and six runs scored since he was activated Aug. 16.

Torkelson went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Torkelson has been in a nice groove since returning to the majors on Aug. 17. Across nine games, the 25-year-old is batting .333 with two home runs and six RBI, including the big effort on his birthday Monday. Torkelson mashed 31 home runs last season, and while he's had an up-and-down 2024 campaign, the talent and upside are still there for him to make a significant fantasy impact.

Diaz is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Seattle, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It looks to be a routine day off for Diaz, who had started every game since July 26. Brandon Lowe will play first base and Dylan Carlson will bat leadoff for the series opener against the Mariners.

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

The lefty-hitting Rice will head to the bench for the second day in a row while the Yankees face lefty starting pitchers in consecutive games. DJ LeMahieu will draw the start at first base against Nationals southpaw Mitchell Parker.

The Orioles placed Mountcastle on the 10-day injured list Monday with a sprained left wrist, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mountcastle initially suffered the injury while sliding into second base during last Thursday's game against the Astros and did not recover quickly enough to avoid a stint on the IL. He will be eligible to return Sept. 2, although it's unclear at this point whether he has a chance for activation on that date. Ryan O'Hearn should see most of the action at first base while Mountcastle is sidelined, with Eloy Jimenez picking up some playing time at designated hitter.

Soderstrom (wrist) has been hitting off a tee and is slated to start a soft toss hitting program near the end of the week, MLB.com reports.

The rookie has been ramping up his activity level in recent days, playing catch for the first first time on Wednesday and then advancing to swinging a bat over the weekend. Soderstrom still projects for a return at some point in September, which would give him an opportunity to build some momentum before heading into what is expected to be a key offseason for his development.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Giants.

Turner's first multi-hit effort since Aug. 10 marked his sixth straight start hitting safely, albeit all via singles. The veteran has recorded just two extra-base hits across 66 plate appearances this month, and with 25 extra-base hits through 110 games, he's on pace for his lowest total in that category in a non-pandemic-shortened season since 2014. The lack of pop has resulted in him falling into a short-side platoon role, as he's started in only one of the Mariners' last three matchups with right-handed pitchers.

Guerrero went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Angels.

The first baseman continues to torment just about every pitcher he faces. Guerrero has recorded at least one extra-base hit in 11 of 21 games in August, slashing .367/.462/.734 over that stretch with nine doubles, a triple, six homers, 15 RBI and 16 runs. His .952 OPS on the season is tied with Rafael Devers for fourth in the American League, behind only Aaron Judge (1.201), Juan Soto (1.035) and Bobby Witt (1.007).

Vaughn went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

Vaughn knocked an RBI double in the first inning before ripping a solo shot in the third. He ended a 12-game homerless drought, though he did hit .311 during that power slump. After hitting just .188 in July, Vaughn has gone 23-for-72 (.319) with 10 extra-base hits in August. For the year, he owns a .246/.300/.406 slash line with 15 home runs and 57 RBI.
