Santana went 4-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Blue Jays.

It's the first time all year the veteran slugger has recorded multiple extra-base hits in a game. Santana has begun to show flickers of life at the plate, going 7-for-13 over his last four starts with four walks, but his career-worst .611 OPS and woeful power numbers on the season -- two homers and 11 RBI in 39 games -- make him tough to roster in any fantasy format without a more prolonged hot streak.

Dalbec started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Angels.

Dalbec filled in for a resting Rafael Devers against lefty Reid Detmers and delivered Alex Verdugo from first base with a sixth-inning double. It was encouraging that the hit came against a righty (reliever Jimmy Herget), which has been the source of many of Dalbec's failings and resulted in him being on the short side of a platoon at first base. He's picked it up at the plate recently, posting a .286/.359/.514 slash line with two home runs and seven RBI over the last 12 contests, but that's come mostly in favorable matchups.

Vaughn isn't starting Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Vaughn went 7-for-17 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI, a walk and four strikeouts over the last four games and will get a rare day off Wednesday. AJ Pollock will start in left field while Jake Burger serves as the designated hitter.

White (hip), who last played in a rehab game for Triple-A Tacoma on May 31, has been sidelined due to an aggravation in his hip/groin area, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

White was riding a six-game on-base streak at the time of his apparent injury, and there's currently no timetable for him to return to action. The 26-year-old has undergone surgeries for both a left hip flexor strain and a sports hernia during the last 12 months, so his current issue is completely unsurprising but still concerning.

Calhoun isn't starting Wednesday against the Guardians.

Calhoun was out of the lineup during Tuesday's nightcap, and he'll get a breather for a second consecutive game. Steele Walker, Eli White and Adolis Garcia are starting in the outfield from left to right.

Rizzo went 1-for-6 with one homer, three RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's victory over the Twins.

Although Rizzo picked up only one hit in the game Tuesday, he made it count, sending Aaron Judge and DJ LeMahieu home on the seventh-inning blast. After hitting only two homers in May, Rizzo already has three in June. Things could be looking up for Rizzo going forward as he looks to improve on his .213/.314/.487 slash line.

Lowe went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader split with the Guardians. He went 0-for-4 in the afternoon affair.

Lowe continued a recent power surge that's seen him bash five home runs and slug .603 over the last 17 games. Seven of his last 20 hits have resulted in extra bases. The first baseman, who bottomed out at a .292 slugging percentage on May 16, is up to .400 following this current surge.

Dalbec went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Angels.

Both of Dalbec's hits were RBI singles. The first baseman also picked up his first stolen base of the year in the sixth. Tuesday marked just his sixth multi-hit effort of the season, ending a 1-for-11 skid at the plate to start June. Overall, he's posted an uninspiring .187/.269/.295 slash line with three homers, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 156 plate appearances. Dalbec saw a little extra playing time while Jackie Bradley was on the paternity list, but now that he's back with the team, Franchy Cordero is likely to return to the strong side of a platoon at first base. That will limit Dalbec mainly to starting against left-handed pitchers.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader at Cleveland.

Calhoun went 1-for-4 with an RBI during the matinee and will head to the bench for Game 2 with lefty Kirk McCarty pitching for the Guardians. Charlie Culberson, Eli White and Adolis Garcia will start from left to right in the outfield.

Diaz will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz starts after starting six straight games at third base, a stretch in which he went 8-for-16 with nine walks. Isaac Paredes will fill that spot Tuesday.
