Dixon's contract was selected Tuesday from the Tigers' alternate training site.

He logged a .248/.290/.435 slash line with 15 home runs and five steals in 118 games with the Tigers last year but then lost his 40-man roster spot and had been working out this summer at the alternate site. Jonathan Schoop (wrist) was transferred to the 45-day injured list in a corresponding move. Dixon should serve as a bench infielder for the rest of the week.

Naylor (leg) is starting in left field and batting eighth Tuesday against the White Sox.

He left Monday's game after jamming his leg while sliding into second base, but it was apparently a minor injury. Naylor is hitting .353 with three doubles and more walks (three) than strikeouts (two) over his last 17 at-bats (six games). Cleveland appears committed to getting him semi-regular playing time over the final week.

France went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a run in a win over the Astros on Monday.

The trade-deadline acquisition from the Padres has been a hit in his new Seattle digs, with Monday's production marking his fifth multi-hit effort since he arrived, and his second in the last three games. France has yet to go more than two consecutive games without a hit since his first game in a Mariners uniform Sept. 4, and he's slashing an impressive .297/.357/.469 in the 70 plate appearances he's logged since the trade.

Gurriel acknowledged still feeling pain relating to a hand injury he suffered while sliding into second base Sept. 12, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. He went 0-for-4 in Monday's loss to the Mariners.

Gurriel wears wrap around the hand which he says contributes to problems gripping the bat. Even before the injury, his production dropped off during September. For the month, he's 11-for-68 with a .169 on-base percentage over 71 plate appearances. His OPS has dropped 164 points since the end of August.

White went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-1 win over the Astros.

White hit his seventh homer of the year off Astros starter Lance McCullers in the seventh inning. That blast gave the Mariners some extra breathing room in what had been a low-scoring battle to that point. The first baseman has produced 24 RBI, 17 runs scored and a stolen base in 48 games this year.

Guerrero went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a triple, a walk and three RBI in Monday's 11-5 win over the Yankees

Guerrero belted a two-run double in the bottom of the third and added another run-scoring two-base hit an inning later. The third-baseman also had a triple, giving him seven total bases in the tilt. The 21-year-old has 28 RBI to go along with a .249/.324/.434 slash line on the campaign.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

Lowe scored in the second inning on a Manuel Margot sacrifice fly before taking Jacob deGrom deep with a solo blast in the fourth. The lefty slugger bumped his season OPS up to .913 with four homers this season.

Naylor left Monday's game against the White Sox after jamming his leg into second base on a slide, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Naylor was having an impressive night at the dish prior to suffering the injury, going 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored. He was replaced by Oscar Mercado in left field and will be considered day-to-day until he's examined further.

Diaz (hamstring) felt good following a pair of batting practice sessions in the last two days and will advance to live batting practice soon, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz has missed all of September with a strained right hamstring. Whether or not he returns before the playoffs remains to be seen, but it appears as though he has a chance to do so.

Voit went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Boston.

The Yankees managed only three base knocks as a team in the loss, but Voit managed to keep his six-game hitting streak intact with a solo shot in the ninth inning. Over the six-game stretch, the slugger has gone 10-for-26 with five homers and 12 RBI. His 21 long balls this season lead the majors; Jose Abreu ranks second with 18.
