Abreu went 4-for-4 Wednesday against the Angels.

Abreu accounted for four of the White Sox's seven hits, all of which were singles. He has collected multiple knocks in five of his last nine starts, also delivering three RBI and six runs scored in that span. The impressive stretch has improved Abreu's line to .284/.375/.451 across 317 plate appearances on the season.

Kirilloff went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

Kirilloff got the Twins on the board with his sixth-inning blast off Guardians starter Cal Quantrill. In 12 games since rejoining the big-league roster, Kirilloff is 13-for-40 (.325) with a homer, five doubles, 12 RBI and five runs scored. A pair of three-hit efforts in his last two games has helped to lift his season slash line to .261/.293/.377 in 75 plate appearances. His homer Wednesday was his first of the year.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Naylor had a sacrifice fly in the third inning and a walkoff two-run homer in the 10th. The first baseman has gone 14-for-48 (.292) in his last 13 contests, adding two homers and six doubles in that span. For the season, he's maintained a solid .271/.328/.492 slash line with nine long balls, 41 RBI, 22 runs scored and a stolen base through 50 games while filling the strong side of a platoon at first base.

Vaughn isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Vaughn went just 1-for-18 with a double, two runs and two RBI in the last five games, and he'll be out of the lineup for the first time since June 8. Gavin Sheets is serving as the designated hitter while Leury Garcia starts in right field.

Padlo was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Padlo started in just two games during his time on the Mariners' active roster, and he'll head to the minors after Seattle traded for Carlos Santana on Monday. Over 42 games at the Triple-A level this year, the 25-year-old has slashed .240/.329/.487 with 10 homers, 26 runs, 25 RBI and seven stolen bases.

The Mariners optioned Ellis to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Ellis was dropped from the 26-man active roster to make room for first baseman/designated hitter Carlos Santana, whom the Mariners acquired from the Royals on Monday. During his three-day stay with Seattle, Ellis appeared in one game and went 1-for-3.

Rizzo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Rizzo exited late in Monday's win over Oakland after he was hit in the right elbow by a pitch, but he was able to start at first base in Tuesday's 2-1 victory, finishing 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. The Yankees haven't indicated that Rizzo's elbow is still bothering him, so his absence Wednesday looks to be the result of the two teams playing a day game after a night game. DJ LeMahieu will cover first base in Rizzo's stead.

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Mets.

Gurriel took Chasen Shreve yard in the fifth inning to record his sixth home run of the season. He's in the midst of a five-game hitting streak, during which he's driven in three and scored two runs. Gurriel is hitting just .228 on the campaign, though he's raised that mark to .247 across 23 games in June.

Pasquantino went 0-4 in an 8-3 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

The highly-touted top-100 prospect had a tough first game against big-league pitching, going hitless and grounding into a double play while slotted in as the designated hitter. Pasquantino should see plenty of at-bats with Salvador Perez (thumb) out of the lineup due to injury and Carlos Santana having being traded to the Mariners. The Royals don't shape up as contenders this season, so it's likely they will let young players like Pasquantino garner plenty of experience.

Abreu went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 11-4 win over the Angels.

Abreu helped the White Sox start a five-run rally in the seventh inning with his two-run double. He's posted four multi-hit efforts in his last eight games, going 12-for-32 (.375) in that span. The first baseman has maintained a productive .273/.367/.443 slash line with nine home runs, 35 RBI, 41 runs scored and 19 doubles across 313 plate appearances.
