Calhoun went 3-for-6 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Athletics.

Calhoun has reached base safely in 17 straight games, slashing .397/.451/.778 with 11 extra-base hits, six walks and 18 runs scored during that stretch. The 34-year-old outfielder raised his OPS to .803, his highest mark since the end of the 2020 season.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-4 win over Oakland.

Lowe's been a new hitter since being held out of the lineup Wednesday. In the three games since, he's 6-for-11 with a home run, triple, double, four RBI and four runs scored. The power (.373 slugging, .106 ISO) is still nowhere near what one expects from a corner infielder due to just six extra-base hits over his first 38 games.

Torkelson isn't starting Saturday's game against the Guardians.

Torkelson was initially slated to get a day off Friday before the game was postponed, and he'll ultimately be out of the lineup Saturday. Harold Castro will take over at first base and bat fifth.

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a run scored Friday against the Mariners.

Gurriel led off the second inning with a single and came around to score. He chipped in another base knock to begin the sixth frame to turn in his second consecutive multi-hit performance. Even so, he has hit just .184 with four RBI and four runs scored across his last 10 games. Overall, Gurriel has maintained a .232/.264/.384 line across 159 plate appearances.

Lowe went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Athletics.

Lowe responded to getting a day off Wednesday by figuring prominently in the two games since. He knocked in a run, stole a base, then scored over the final three innings when the Rangers turned a 5-2 deficit into a win. The stolen base was the first of the season for Lowe, who stole eight bags in 2021.

France went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Astros.

France singled and scored in the first inning before adding a solo shot to lead off the third. The 27-year-old has been on a tear this month; he has multiple hits in nine of his last 16 games, going 25-for-63 (.397) with nine extra-base hits and 10 RBI during that stretch. France is slashing .341/.413/.511 with seven home runs through 206 plate appearances on the year.

Torkelson will sit Friday against the Guardians.

It's been a disappointing rookie season thus far for Torkelson, who's hitting .179/.292/.309 with four homers and a 28.5 percent strikeout rate through four games. He'll head to the bench after going hitless in his last two games, with Harold Castro taking over at first base.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored Thursday against Boston.

Abreu continues to swing a hot bat, and he now has four multi-hit performances in his last nine starts. He has two home runs, six doubles, seven RBI and seven runs scored in that span. While still considerably worse than his career marks, Abreu has improved his slash line to .236/.328/.401 across 180 plate appearances for the campaign.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a walk and two-run home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.

Lowe, who was held out of the starting lineup against a left-hander Wednesday, was back at first base against a righty Thursday. Somewhat ironically, he homered in the ninth inning off lefty Sam Moll, who was brought in to get Lowe. The homer was his third of the season, and he's slugging only .338 with a .092 ISO.

Vaughn went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.

Vaughn tormented Boston starter Michael Wacha early in the contest, accounting for all five runs the hurler allowed with a bases-clearing double in the third inning and a two-run homer in the fifth. This was the third time on the season that Vaughn has driven in four or more runs in a game, but he's compiled only six RBI across his other 25 games. He's been effective at getting on base, however, sporting a .292/.349/.500 slash line across 106 plate appearances.
