White (hip) went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Triple-A Tacoma's win over Sacramento on Friday.

White made his first rehab appearance after a one-day delay, and he gave the Rainiers a quick lift with his three-run blast in the second inning. The 25-year-old is expected to log several games with Tacoma before being deemed ready for activation.

Vaughn is not in Saturday's lineup against the Tigers.

He is hitting .200 with one home run in 25 June at-bats. Jake Lamb will start in left field and bat seventh.

Abreu went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Friday's win over the Tigers.

Abreu has recorded back-to-back multi-hit games and has three doubles over his last two contests, but he's currently riding a power drought and has gone 11 straight games without a home run. The slugger continues to struggle this season but seems to be moving slowly in the right direction -- this was just the third time this season where he recorded two or more consecutive multi-hit appearances.

Guerrero went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Friday's loss against the Red Sox.

Guerrero smashed his 19th homer of the campaign off reliever Hirokazu Sawamura in the sixth inning, and he continues to see the ball extremely well while supplying power to all fields. The slugger has hit safely in six of his nine games this month while blasting three homers, and he's hitting an impressive .419 with a stellar 1.352 OPS across 37 plate appearances in June.

Dalbec went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over Toronto.

Dalbec, who is putting in extra time working on timing of his leg kick, is 3-for-8 with a homer, a double and three RBI the last two games after a 3-for-38 slump. The kick helps Dalbec time his swing at the pitched ball, and pitchers do their best to disrupt the timing of the kick. He's working on making the move more compact, which in theory will improve his timing.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-4 win against the Twins on Friday.

Gurriel smashed a 393-foot solo shot in the sixth inning to tie the game 3-3. The long ball was his second in as many games and 10th overall this season. Gurriel ranks fourth in MLB with a .333 average on the campaign and is tied for seventh with 46 RBI.

Kirilloff (ankle) is in the starting lineup Friday against the Astros, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Kirilloff sprained his ankle in Thursday's game against the Yankees, but he'll be able to stay in lineup for Friday's series opener against Houston, batting fourth as the right fielder.

Manager Scott Servais said that he expects White (hip) to be in the lineup with Triple-A Tacoma on Friday after being a late scratch Thursday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports .

White was originally slated to be in the Rainiers' lineup Thursday to begin his rehab assignment, but he was ultimately scratched because he didn't feel quite right. Based on the skipper's comments, the expectation is that White will play with Tacoma on Friday, though he'll still have to get through pregame warmups without trouble before he's pencilled into the lineup. White remains on track to rejoin the Mariners within the next week.

Diaz, who owns a .409/.536/.545 slash line over the 28 plate appearances covering his last six games, is now sporting a .397 on-base percentage for the season, ranking him eighth in MLB.

Diaz has often been the bane of opposing pitchers' existence this season, as his career-high 17.6 percent walk rate and impressively modest 13.4 percent strikeout rate have made him one of the toughest outs in all of baseball. The burly infielder has surprisingly only left the yard once, but he's been a decent run producer with 21 RBI and continues to set himself up for success with his constant presence on the basepaths.

Dalbec went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 12-8 win over Houston.

Dalbec capped off Boston's five-run sixth inning by lasering a double off the Green Monster that drove home two. The slumping first baseman, who has lost at-bats to Danny Santana, is just 5-for-43 over the last 13 games, dropping his batting average to .192. The bright side for Dalbec, and those deploying him in fantasy lineups, is that Santana is also slumping, so there's no clear choice at first base.
