Kirilloff (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Kirilloff and Byron Buxton (hamstring) will both be making their first rehab appearances Wednesday and figure to return early in September. Kirilloff was slashing .259/.305/.593 since the All-Star break when he landed on the injured list July 30.

Diaz (forearm) is starting at first base and batting leadoff Tuesday at Miami.

Diaz sat out the past two games due to soreness in his left forearm from a hit-by-pitch, but he'll return to the field Tuesday after Monday's team off day. The 32-year-old has carried a hot bat through 21 games in August with a .359/.410/.522 slash line, three homers, 15 RBI and 16 runs.

The Blue Jays are open to using Guerrero at third base late in games following the injury to Matt Chapman (finger), Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The team doesn't plan to give Guerrero any starts at the hot corner, but he could be used there on occasion should late-game substitutions dictate it. Guerrero, who hasn't played more than two innings at third base in a season since 2019, has begun taking grounders there pregame. For fantasy purposes, there might be an outside shot that he gains eligibility there, depending on individual league specifications. Davis Schneider started at third base on Monday in the Jays' first game without Chapman, who is without a return timetable as he nurses a sprained right middle finger.

France went 2-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.

France had been mired in a brief 3-for-17 funk coming into Monday, so his three trips on the basepaths were an especially welcome sight. The veteran infielder has still put together a productive August despite the recent skid, as he's now sporting a .284 average, .877 OPS, nine extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 12 walks and 11 runs over 25 games during the month, getting on base another nine times while being hit by pitches.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two RBI and two walks Monday against the Red Sox.

Abreu got the scoring started for Houston with a solo homer off Chris Sale in the second inning -- his first since being activated from the injured list Aug. 23. He's produced plenty in the four games since, going 5-for-17 with five RBI and two runs scored. Abreu's increased production has stretched a bit further, as he has four home runs, 16 RBI and 16 runs scored in 27 games since the All-Star break.

Pratto (groin/hip) is expected to resume his rehab assignment later this week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Pratto recently suffered a "minor setback" in his recovery from the lower-half injury that sent him to the injured list in late July, but taking a few days off appears to have resolved the issue. He's slated to go through all baseball activities Tuesday. Barring any issues, Pratto should resume playing in minor-league games before the week comes to a close.

Naylor (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Akron, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Sidelined since Aug. 1 with a right oblique strain, Naylor looks like he could be a candidate to return from the 10-day injured list as early as this weekend, provided he experiences no setbacks while on the minor-league assignment. Kole Calhoun has been serving as the Guardians' primary first baseman in recent weeks, but manager Terry Francona could find room in the lineup for both Calhoun and Naylor by deploying one of the two at designated hitter. Despite missing nearly a month of action, Naylor still leads Cleveland with 79 RBI on the season.

Vaughn is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, according to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Vaughn picked up multiple hits Sunday and did so four times over his last seven games, but he will sit out in favor of Gavin Sheets on Mondaywith manager Pedro Grifol looking to get another left-handed hitter in the lineup against Orioles righty Grayson Rodriguez.

Schanuel (illness) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

An illness prevented Schanuel from playing the past two days, but he is ready to get back on the field. As he has done regularly against right-handers since being called up Aug. 18, Schanuel will man first base and hit leadoff for the Angels on Monday.

Cron (back) is still experiencing soreness and hasn't yet resumed baseball activities, the Associated Press reports.

Cron is eligible to be activated after going on the 10-day IL on Aug. 18, but he doesn't appear to be particularly close to a return. The veteran first baseman was diagnosed with lower-back inflammation prior to hitting the injured list, and he had been struggling since joining the Angels at the end of July, slashing just .217/.280/.283 with one homer, five RBI and a 4:14 BB:K over 14 contests. The Angels have fallen 10.5 games out of an AL wild-card spot with the season winding down, so they probably won't rush Cron back and may continue to start rookie Nolan Schanuel (illness) at first base even if Cron is able to return.
