Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-4 win over St. Louis.

Lowe homered in the third inning, and just like last season, Lowe appears to have flipped a switch in June. The lefty-hitting first baseman is 7-for-21 with a double, two home runs and six RBI over five games (1.042 OPS) this month.

Raley went 2-for-3 with a triple, a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Twins.

Raley scored the game's first run in the fourth inning after leading off with his first career triple. He'd then break the game open in the fifth, crushing a 450-foot, two-run homer off Louie Varland to give Tampa Bay a 5-0 lead. Raley is now 5-for-11 with four extra-base hits in his last three games. He's slashing an impressive .261/.355/.590 with 11 homers, 27 runs scored, 24 RBI and seven stolen bases through 155 plate appearances this season.

Kirilloff (illness) is back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Kirilloff was scratched from the Twins' lineup ahead of Sunday's series finale against the Guardians because of an illness, but he's clearly feeling better following Monday's scheduled team off day. The 25-year-old will start at first base and bat second Tuesday versus Tampa Bay.

Bell was reinstated from the paternity list and will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter Tuesday.

After taking a few days away from the team to spend time with his family, Bell returns to Cleveland's lineup in the middle of a four-game hitting streak. He is slashing .273/.308/.545 with a homer and four RBI over the past week.

Noda went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double, two walks and a run in a loss to the Pirates on Monday.

The Athletics took their 50th loss of the season, but not much more could have been asked of Noda, who reached safely for the fifth straight game. The 27-year-old has a .403 on-base percentage for the season across 201 plate appearances and now carries an astronomical 19.4 percent walk rate, albeit alongside a 33.8 percent strikeout rate.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's win over the Red Sox.

Diaz has hit safely in four straight contests, going 7-for-19 in that span, following a 2-for-18 slump in his previous four games. While Diaz's power production has slowed down somewhat (one homer in his last 11 games), he's still putting together an All-Star-caliber campaign with a .316/.409/.570 slash line, 12 homers, 40 runs scored and 34 RBI through 225 plate appearances.

Pratto went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Monday's 9-6 loss to the Marlins.

Pratto led off the third inning with a solo shot off the left-handed Braxton Garrett, his fourth homer of the year and his second in three games. The 24-year-old Pratto has gone 10-for-27 (.370) with a 1.119 OPS in his last seven games, boosting his slash line to .298/.393/.463 with 15 RBI and 17 runs scored through 140 plate appearances this season.

Pasquantino is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Miami.

After going 0-for-10 with two walks in the Royals' weekend series with the Rockies, Pasquantino will get a mental day off in the series opener with the Marlins. Nick Pratto will pick up the start at first base, while shortstop Bobby Witt gets a day out of the field and serves as the Royals' designated hitter.

Casas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

The lefty-hitting Casas will take a seat with ace southpaw Shane McClanahan on the bump for Tampa Bay. Justin Turner will step in at first base in place of Casas, who is hitting .148 (but getting on base at a .361 clip) in 36 plate appearances versus southpaws in 2023.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's victory over the Mets.

Guerrero extended the Jays' lead to 3-0 in the third inning with a homer off Kodai Senga, his first since May 23. Guerrero has hit safely in his last four games while going 8-for-24 (.333) with a .907 OPS in his previous six contests. The 24-year-old first baseman is having another strong season, slashing .289/.356/.467 with nine homers, 37 RBI and three stolen bases.
