Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in a 7-5 victory over the Tigers on Saturday.

The 20-year-old has loved hitting in Detroit this weekend, as he is 5-for-9 with five RBI, raising his average 11 points to .249. Somewhat surprisingly, given his Home Run Derby performance, this was also his first long ball since June 29. Guerrero has nine home runs, 31 RBI and 34 runs in 257 at-bats this season.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

His July power surge shows no signs of abating. Gurriel has now gone deep 10 times this month with 23 RBI and a .381/.418/.921 slash line through 15 games, and his 18 homers on the season already ties his career high from 2017.

Voit cleared all concussion tests after being hit by a pitch near his jaw in Saturday's game against the Rockies, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

The Yankees are labeling Voit's removal from the contest in the fifth inning as precautionary after the slugger passed all phases of the concussion protocol and won't require any further testing. The team could choose to withhold him from the starting nine in Sunday's series finale as an extra safeguard, but his availability for the upcoming week doesn't seem to be in any peril.

Voit exited in the top of the fifth inning of Saturday's game against the Rockies due to a facial injury, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

Voit scored a run and reached base twice in three plate appearances before departing with the injury, which he sustained when he was hit by a pitch a half inning earlier. Considering Voit was still able to take his base after being struck by the pitch along with the fact that the Yankees held a 9-0 lead heading into the fifth inning, it's possible his removal was precautionary. DJ LeMahieu shifted across the diamond to fill in for Voit at first base.

Abreu went 0-for-5 in Friday's 9-2 win over the Rays and is hitting just. 200 since returning from the All-Star break.

It's surprising to see Abreu as a non-factor when the White Sox put up so many runs in a game. The team leader in home runs (21) and RBI (68) has been quiet since the break, going 7-for-35 with no extra-base hits and just two RBI over eight games.

Cabrera went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Astros.

The homer was Cabrera's 12th of the year but his first since June 19, while the steal was only his fourth in 2019. The veteran infielder continues to hold down the starting spot at third base despite a .231/.319/.400 slash line, but the Rangers may be about to reduce his workload considerably and give Danny Santana a look at the hot corner.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 12-1 win over the Tigers.

It's his first multi-hit performance since the All-Star break. Guerrero isn't living up to the massive hype that accompanied him to the majors, but the 20-year-old is still offering glimpses of his upside despite a tepid .245/.322/.391 slash line.

Lowe went 3-for-3 with an RBI double and another two-bagger during a loss to the Yankees in the second game of a doubleheader on Thursday.

Lowe plated the Rays' only run with his timely double in the third inning, and his second two-bagger later in the contest qualified as his eighth extra-base hit of July overall. The rookie also has multiple hits in three of his last four games, and his season average has already seen a 52-point boost to .315 during the month.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during a loss to the Yankees in the first game of a doubleheader Thursday.

The Cuban slugged the second of back-to-back homers off Yankees starter Domingo German in the first inning, a 341-foot laser that also qualified as Diaz's third homer in the last four games. Diaz also has five multi-hit efforts over the last eight games overall, pushing his season line to a solid .279/.349/.500.

Cron went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory over Oakland.

In his third game since returning from the injured list due to an inflamed thumb, Cron delivered Minnesota's final run of the game with a 401-foot blast to left field in the eighth inning. The long ball snapped a season-long 12-game power drought for Cron, who is now slashing .265/.324/.502 with 18 homers and 55 RBI in 313 at-bats this season.
