Santana went 3-for-3 with a hit by pitch and a pair of runs scored in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Phillies.

Santana was trouble for his former team all game. He singled in the first, singled and scored in the fourth, doubled in the fifth, and was hit by a pitch and scored again in the seventh. The veteran continues to be an entirely different hitter than he was last season in Philadelphia, bouncing back from a year in which he hit .229 with 24 homers to hit .288 with 34 homers this season.

Guerrero is not in Sunday's lineup against the Yankees.

Guerrero will take a seat for the first time since Sept. 15. He's in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, four of which have been multi-hit efforts. Brandon Drury will draw the start at third base and bat eighth in his place.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a game-winning two-run home run in an extra-innings victory over the Red Sox on Saturday.

The rookie came through in dramatic fashion, as his 338-foot shot to left with Johnny Davis aboard in the bottom of the 11th erased a 4-3 deficit and won another critical game for the Rays. The round tripper was a rare taste of offensive success for Lowe in September, as he's still hitting just .184 (7-for-38) for the month and has struck out on 17 occasions over 39 plate appearances.

Calhoun went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Saturday's win over Houston.

Calhoun provided a pair of insurance runs with a blast to right center field in the ninth inning. The 31-year-old suffered through a 1-for-24 stretch to begin September but has turned things around over the last 10 games, going 12-for-37 with five home runs and seven runs batted in. Overall, Calhoun is slashing .237/.328/.481 with 33 long balls and 74 RBI in 604 plate appearances this season.

Abreu went 3-for-5 with with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over Detroit.

Abreu's eighth-inning, two-run single was the game-winning hit and produced his 120th and 121st RBI, the most by a White Sox player since Magglio Ordonez had 135 in 2002. He padded his RBI lead in the AL with the two runs driven in and moved to the top of MLB, one ahead of Atlanta's Freddie Freeman.

O'Hearn went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 12-5 win over the Twins.

His two-run shot in the sixth inning off Jose Berrios tied the game at 5-5, setting the stage for a seven-run eruption by the Kansas City offense in the ninth. O'Hearn had gone 0-for-17 with 11 strikeouts over his prior seven games, and on the year he's slashing only .190/.279/.365 with 14 homers and 34 RBI through 99 contests.

Gurriel (illness) is back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

A stomach illness led to Gurriel being scratched from Friday's lineup, but he's good to go a day later. The 35-year-old will look to make it four consecutive games with a home run when he faces off against Patrick Sandoval and company.

Tellez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Nothing to see here; just your standard absence against a lefty (James Paxton) for Tellez. He continues to start against most righties, though Tellez has fallen in the order in recent days, all the way down to the eight hole Thursday. He's batting .227/.314/.545 this month.

Voit is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Voit wore the Golden Sombrero on Friday and is now hitless in his last five games (0-for-18). Mike Ford will get a turn at first base Saturday against right-hander T.J. Zeuch as Aaron Judge serves as the designated hitter.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-3 victory over the Yankees on Friday.

This was Guerrero's fourth straight game with multiple hits. That's been great, but this was also his first home run since Aug. 22. Owners would like to see a little more pop from Guerrero over the last week, as he owns just a .443 slugging percentage. He is batting .276 with 15 home runs, 68 RBI and 51 runs in 442 at-bats this season.
