Gurriel went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in a 2-1 loss to Boston on Tuesday.

Batting second, Gurriel brought home Jose Altuve with a first-inning single before swiping second base and adding another single in the fifth. The 38-year-old's theft was his fifth in his last 12 games while the two-hit performance extended his hitting streak to seven games, during which he's batting .379 with two doubles. Deadline acquisition Trey Mancini may eat into Gurriel's playing time, though manager Dusty Baker will be forced to keep Gurriel's bat in the lineup if he continues to put up quality numbers.

Vaughn went 3-for-4 with a triple, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Royals.

Vaughn hit his first major-league triple and scored in the first inning to give the White Sox their first run. The 24-year-old also scored on a Jose Abreu home run after singling in the sixth. Vaughn slumped a bit in July, hitting .242 in 23 games last month, but he's already racked up five hits in two games to begin August. He's slashing .296/.346/.462 with 10 homers, 49 RBI, 41 runs scored and 20 doubles through 344 plate appearances.

Abreu went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Royals.

Abreu has homered in two of the last three games, but Tuesday marked his first game with multiple RBI since July 14. The first baseman is up to 13 long balls 52 RBI, 56 runs scored and 27 doubles in 101 contests while maintaining a steady .300/.381/.470 slash line. The White Sox were quiet at the trade deadline, so Abreu's status as a key piece in the heart of the lineup remains unchanged as they try to chase down the Twins and Guardians in the AL Central.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in a 3-1 win Tuesday in Tampa Bay.

Guerrero doubled and scored in the first and singled and stole third base in the third. After not stealing a base in his first 96 contests, he's swiped three bags in the last six games. He has a 13-game hitting streak going and has produced a .431/.491/.627 line in 57 plate appearances during the streak.

Kirilloff (right wrist inflammation) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Kirilloff has dealt with wrist issues for several years now, most notably in 2019, 2021 and much of this season. Perhaps this will be the last straw that will lead to another surgery (he tore ligaments in the right wrist in 2021). Max Kepler, Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach are all banged up as well, so the likes of Nick Gordon, Jake Cave, Kyle Garlick and Mark Contreras will be asked to pick up the slack.

Pratto isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Hunter Dozier will play first base in Pratto's place. Pratto went 0-for-4 with a trio of strikeouts Monday, and he's struck out 13 times in 29 at-bats since the All-Star break.

France (wrist) remains on the bench Tuesday in New York.

It's unclear how much longer the wrist injury will keep France out of action. Once healthy, the 27-year-old and his .857 OPS will be an everyday staple in Seattle's lineup but until then, Carlos Santana will play first base while Kyle Lewis and others fill in at designated hitter.

Diaz isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Diaz went 2-for-13 with a home run and two RBI in the weekend series against Cleveland, capping off a July in which he slashed .330/.413/.511 with 18 RBI and 15 runs. Isaac Paredes will play third base Tuesday while Ji-Man Choi plays first.

Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 7-2 victory versus the Mariners.

Rizzo gave the Yankees an early lead with his three-run home run in the first inning. This was the veteran's third straight game with a long ball and his second consecutive contest with three RBI. Rizzo is tied for sixth in the majors with 26 homers on the season.

Kirilloff (wrist) isn't starting Monday against the Tigers.

Kirilloff was removed from Saturday's matchup against San Diego due to right wrist soreness, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Kyle Garlick will take over in left field and bat fifth.
