Guerrero went 3-for-8 with a solo home run and three runs scored across both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus Baltimore.

The 22-year-old provided a solo shot in an 11-10 win in Game 1, then added a pair of singles and runs in Toronto's monumental 11-run seventh inning in Game 2. Guerrero has gone yard four times in his last seven contests, and he's up to 43 home runs on the year. He's added a stellar .319/.407/.606 slash line with 101 RBI, 110 runs scored and four stolen bases across 612 plate appearances.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Rangers.

Olson smacked his 33rd homer of the season off Texas starter Wes Benjamin in the third inning. The slugger is now three long balls shy of matching his career high of 36 that he set in 2019. This particular home run breathes new life into Olson's push for the mark, as it's the 27-year-old's first round tripper since Aug. 23.

Mountcastle isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

Mountcastle will get a breather after he went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Saturday's matinee. Trey Mancini will start at first base while DJ Stewart enters the lineup in right field.

Vaughn is dealing with leg soreness and is not in Saturday's lineup against the Red Sox, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Eloy Jimenez will start at designated hitter while Romy Gonzalez starts in left field. This is the second straight game Vaughn will miss due to the soreness.

Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Mets.

The Yankees were routed against their crosstown rivals Friday, so Rizzo's ninth-inning solo shot had little impact on the overall result. Still, the long ball was his second in as many days and extended his hitting streak to six games. Over that stretch, Rizzo is slashing .348/.375/.609 with five RBI.

Dalbec went 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run and a second run scored in Friday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox.

Dalbec continued an impressive run of hitting that includes 12 extra-base hits (seven HR) over 16 games. During that stretch, he's slashed .353/.421/.882 over 57 plate appearances. The power potential flashed in 2020 has finally presented itself this season. Dalbec has a .247 ISO, ranking 27th among players with at least 350 plate appearances.

Olson went 4-for-5 with four RBI in Friday's 10-5 victory over Texas.

Olson capitalized on seeing a bevy of teammates reach base ahead of him, driving in three with a single in the second inning and plating another runner with a single in the fourth. The first baseman rapped two additional singles in the game for his second four-hit effort of the campaign. Olson had registered only four hits total over his previous 21 at-bats, and before Friday he hadn't posted a multi-hit effort since Sept. 3.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Friday's 4-3 win over Boston.

Abreu launched a three-run shot off Tanner Houck in the third inning, his 29th home run of the year. After producing a 1.043 OPS with 10 homers in August, the slugging first baseman is up to three extra-base hits with five RBI so far this month. Abreu is slashing .265/.347/.498 with 107 RBI on the year.

Gurriel isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gurriel will get his first day off in nearly a month after he hit .316 with a homer, five runs and two RBI across the last five games. Aledmys Diaz will start at first base and bat seventh.

Voit is not starting Friday against the Mets.

The slugger was absent from the starting nine in the previous two games, and now it becomes even harder to work him into the lineup without a DH in the NL park. Nonetheless, he has a strong chance to appear in the game off the bench and could draw a start at first base later in the series.
