  • Nate Lowe DH | CIN

    Rangers' Nate Lowe: Three hits, homer

    Lowe went 3-for-5 with a double, two-run home run and three RBI in a 10-1 win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Lowe recorded an RBI single in the third, a double in the seventh, and a two-run home run in the ninth for his first three-hit game of the season. It was a nice rebound for Lowe, who was only 4-for-39 over his last 13 games prior to Friday. He's now slashing .245/.343/.395.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Swats 20th homer

    Guerrero went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks in Saturday's win over the Red Sox.

    Guerrero leads all of baseball in the home run department and blasted a massive shot above the Green Monster off Nick Pivetta in the first inning, setting that tone for a Toronto offense that clubbed five homers as a team. The star first baseman has been one of the best hitters in MLB this season and is averaging .338 with a 1.123 OPS aside from leading all of baseball in dingers.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Athletics' Matt Olson: Homers, plates four

    Olson went 4-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double and an additional RBI in Saturday's win over the Royals.

    Olson socked his 16th home run in the eighth inning off Wade Davis, and the first baseman has now hit safely in nine of his last 11 games, posting five multi-hit games during that span. The slugging infielder boosted his average to .285 with a .956 OPS following his first four-hit game of the campaign.

  • Evan White 1B | LAA

    Mariners' Evan White: Homers in first rehab game

    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.

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Out of Saturday's lineup

    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.

  • Jose Abreu 1B | HOU

    White Sox's Jose Abreu: Records two hits Friday

    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.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Clubs MLB-leading 19th homer

    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.

  • Bobby Dalbec 1B | CHW

    Red Sox's Bobby Dalbec: Homers Friday

    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.

  • Yuli Gurriel DH | SD

    Astros' Yuli Gurriel: Goes deep again Friday

    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.

  • Alex Kirilloff LF | MIN

    Twins' Alex Kirilloff: In lineup Friday

    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.
