Noda is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Royals, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The Athletics are facing a second straight lefty and Noda has been on the bench for both matchups. Carlos Perez will get a start at first base in Noda's stead.

Calhoun went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.

His seventh-inning blast down the right-field line off Caleb Ferguson put the game out of reach. Calhoun, who had been toiling at Triple-A for the Dodgers prior to being sent to the Guardians when Josh Naylor (oblique) got injured, has two homers in 13 games since coming to Cleveland. Naylor has just resumed baseball activities and there's no clear timeline yet for his return, so Calhoun figures to continue holding down the fort at first base at least through the end of the month.

Noda is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Royals.

Noda will not start with lefty Angel Zerpa taking the mound for the Royals. Carlos Perez will take his spot at first base and bat third.

Manager Dusty Baker said Tuesday that the Astros hope to activate Abreu (back) from the injured list by Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

It was reported that Abreu still hadn't resumed swinging a bat as of Friday, so this would be a pretty speedy progression. Yainer Diaz has been operating as the primary first baseman recently.

Guerrero (finger) is batting cleanup and starting at first base Tuesday against the Orioles.

He exited Sunday's game against the Reds with left middle finger discomfort, but after Monday's off day, Guerrero is back in the mix. The 24-year-old first baseman is having his least productive season since at least 2020, depending on the metric. He is hitting .238 with one home run, six RBI and four runs in 17 games this month.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Blue Jays.

O'Hearn is not starting with lefty Yusei Kikuchi taking the mound for the Blue Jays. Ryan Mountcastle will move to first base, Adley Rutschman will move to designated hitter and James McCann will enter the lineup and slot in behind the dish.

Naylor (oblique) resumed fielding ground balls Aug. 10 and has begun incorporating other baseball activities into his rehab regimen, MLB.com reports.

Naylor was placed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 4 with a right oblique strain and was given a loose recovery timeline of 3-to-6 weeks. He's closing in on the short end of that timeframe, but the Guardians haven't provided any clear indication that Naylor will be ready to return from the IL before the end of August. Until reports indicate that Naylor is taking full batting practice, running the bases and taking part in full defensive drills at first base, his return to the Cleveland lineup shouldn't be viewed as imminent.

Noda (jaw), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, went 1-for-2 with two walks and two runs in a win over the Royals on Monday.

Noda picked up right where he left off in both his four-game rehab assignment and his pre-IL-stint at the big-league level. The rookie's walk rate is up to a stellar 17.9 percent following Monday's pair of free passes, helping lead to an elite .382 on-base percentage for the season. Now that he's back to full health, Noda should return to a near-everyday role while primarily logging time at first base.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Diamondbacks.

Lowe put the Rangers on top with a two-run double in the top of the 11th, but Will Smith was unable to hold the lead. The first baseman has hit safely in four consecutive games with two doubles, a home run and four RBI, but his torrid finish to July turned into a meek August. Lowe, who batted .404 over 15 games coming out of the All-Star break, is batting .231 over 19 games during the current month.

Torkelson went 4-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Monday's loss against the Cubs.

Torkelson got the Tigers on the board with a solo homer off Javier Assad in the sixth inning. The 23-year-old Torkelson is up to 23 homers on the year, with eight in his last 12 games -- he's gone 17-for-43 (.395) over that span. With his recent hot streak, Torkelson's slash line is up to .239/.319/.452 with 69 RBI and 67 runs scored across 526 plate appearances in his sophomore campaign.
