Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Sunday's 12-6 loss to the Cardinals.

Torkelson took Steven Matz deep to center in the fourth to get the Tigers on the board. It was his first home run since April 19 and just his third of the year. The 23-year-old does have three multi-hit efforts over his last five games, but he is still slashing just .223/.276/.347 with 16 RBI, 12 runs and an 8:28 BB:K over 134 plate appearances.

Rizzo went 1-for-3 with three walks and a solo home run in Sunday's 8-7 loss to Tampa Bay in 10 innings.

Rizzo's sixth home run of the year opened the scoring in the third, marking his first long ball since April 23. He has hit safely in four straight games and earned his first three-walk outing of the season Sunday. Rizzo is off to a great start in his second full season with New York and isn't facing any competition for playing time, though the 33-year-old may still take an occasional day off to stay fresh.

Vaughn went 3-for-5 with a triple, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Reds.

In his first three-hit game of the season, Vaughn was one of six White Sox with multiple RBI in the 17-run outburst Sunday. On top of his three hits, including a two-run triple in the second inning, he also tacked on an RBI sacrifice fly in the fifth. Vaughn boosted his slash line to .248/.347/.419 with 15 extra-base hits and 24 RBI through 34 games.

Torkelson went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals in 10 innings.

Torkelson's second base hit of the day drove in Riley Greene in the top of the seventh inning to tie the game before Akil Baddoo's RBI double in the top of the 10th sealed the win for Detroit. Torkelson will be back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale in St. Louis, batting in the cleanup spot.

Guerrero (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

With an off day looming Monday to afford Guerrero an additional day to rest his aching left wrist, the Blue Jays won't rush the star slugger back into the lineup for the series finale in Pittsburgh. While Guerrero sits for the second day in a row, Brandon Belt will draw a start at first base. Guerrero is still expected to return to the lineup for Tuesday's series opener in Philadelphia.

Solano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Solano started each of the past three games at first base, going 0-for-8 with three strikeouts to drop his season-long average to .253. The Twins recalled the lefty-hitting Alex Kirilloff from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, and he'll enter the lineup at first base Sunday against Guardians right-hander Cal Quantrill. Kirilloff could end up seeing the bulk of the playing time versus righties moving forward, though Solano will likely remain a mainstay in the lineup versus southpaws.

The Red Sox recalled Dalbec from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

He'll provide Boston with another right-handed-hitting option out of the infield after Christian Arroyo (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Dalbec has seen action at first base, third base and shortstop between Boston and Triple-A this season and should be an option at all three positions while he's up with the big club, though he's unlikely to be used as anything more than a short-side platoon bat.

France went 3-for-5 in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Astros.

France wasn't directly involved in any run-scoring plays, but he was able to extend his hitting streak to four games. He's gone 6-for-18 in that span, but all of those hits have been singles. It's still better than the 0-for-19 slump over seven contests that preceded his recent run of success. France is slashing .252/.340/.350 with one home run, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored, a stolen base and nine doubles through 33 games this season.

Guerrero (wrist) is likely available to pinch hit Saturday against the Pirates, but he may be held out of Sunday's game as well since Toronto has an off day Monday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

This is just the fourth game Guerrero has missed since the start of the 2020 season. It would be a good sign if he at least appears as a pinch hitter this weekend. The Blue Jays play only five games next week, with a two-game series in Philadelphia starting Tuesday.

Guerrero was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Pirates with left wrist discomfort.

Guerrero is hitting .412 with two home runs and six RBI over his last four games, and it's unclear how serious the injury is or when he sustained it. Cavan Biggio is starting at first base in his absence.
