Naylor went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-0 win over the Blue Jays.

Naylor capped off a five-run third inning with his homer, his first since July 27. He's still made decent contact lately, going 7-for-28 (.250) across his last seven contests, though it's led to just three RBI, one run and a stolen base. The 25-year-old has a .271/.321/.485 slash line with 15 homers, 56 RBI, 33 runs scored, three stolen bases and 17 doubles through 318 plate appearances while regularly hitting in the middle of the Guardians' order.

Calhoun (heel) has yet to begin significant baseball activities and won't be activated any time soon, Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Calhoun's right heel irritation originally looked like it would require merely a minimum-length absence, which would leave him eligible to return Saturday, but that won't be happening. Manager Chris Woodward called the issue a "weird injury" and said the Rangers don't really know when Calhoun will return, so the veteran outfielder could be stuck in limbo for some time.

Gurriel went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Thursday against the Rangers.

Gurriel struggled across his last six games entering Thursday by tallying only one hit across his previous 21 at-bats. He ended that skid with singles to lead off both the fifth and seventh innings and came around to score on both occasions. Across 403 plate appearances this season, Gurriel is hitting .240 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, and 39 runs scored.

Pasquantino went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk Thursday against the White Sox.

Pasquantino continued his recent power surge, taking Dylan Cease yard in the second inning to tally his third homer in his last four games. He has at least one hit in eight of his last 10 starts, maintaining a .324 average with five RBI and four runs scored in that span. After taking some time to adjust to the big-league level, Pasquantino has six homers across 162 plate appearances and a .246/.333/.408 line.

Vaughn went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday against the Royals.

Vaughn took Scott Barlow yard to lead off the ninth inning to tally his 12th homer of the season. It was also Vaughn's fifth multi-hit game in his last 10 starts, and he's maintained a .368 average with two homers, four RBI and five runs scored in that span. For the season, Vaughn has a .297/.347/.468 line across 377 plate appearances.

White (sports hernia) resumed his rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday and has gone 1-for-6 with a home run while playing both of the past two days.

White is restarting his rehab program for the third time, after previously being pulled off assignments in early June and then again in mid-June after suffering setbacks in his recovery from the sports hernia surgery he underwent in late March. The 2022 campaign is shaping up to be a lost season for White, and even if he remains free of setbacks moving forward, the Mariners are likely to keep him on his rehab assignment for an extended period since there isn't an opening for him to play on an everyday basis for the big club.

Santana went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

The veteran squared up on an Albert Abreu offering in the seventh inning to plate Mitch Haniger and erase a 3-2 deficit. Santana's blast ended up as the difference in the game and snapped an 0-for-17 slump that had encompassed his last five-plus contests.

Naylor will be on the bench Thursday versus the Tigers.

Naylor will get a breather after he went went 5-for-23 with an RBI and a stolen base while starting the last six games. Owen Miller will start at first base and bat fourth in the series finale.

Harris was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Frisco on Wednesday. He was seen with a brace on his wrist from an injury suffered Saturday, Michael Tepid of Loonestarball.com reports.

Harris is hitting .259 with 18 home runs and 19 stolen bases with a .831 OPS in Double-A in 86 games this season. He's a dark-horse candidate to be called up to the majors in September, so the hope will be that this injury doesn't sidetrack the rest of his season.

Rizzo (back) is starting at first base and batting third in Wednesday's series finale against the Mariners.

Rizzo will be back in the lineup after missing the last five games while nursing lower-back tightness. Prior to going down with the injury, the 33-year-old went 6-for-19 with four homers, eight RBI and six runs over his last five games.
