Bour went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

After an 18-game stint in the minors, Bour returned to the big leagues with a bang, launching a three-run shot to center field in the first inning. The blast would prove to be Bour's only hit of the game, and his pair of strikeouts suggest that he may not have eliminated his early-season struggles just yet. Though Bour has hit five homers in 102 at-bats, he has also whiffed 33 times and is batting a meager .167.

Gurriel went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, a stolen base, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-8 win over the Brewers.

The 35-year-old went yard for the first time since May 21, giving Gurriel five homers on the year to go with a mediocre .260/.289/.402 slash line. His defensive versatility has kept him in the lineup, but once the Astros get healthier, Gurriel could see his playing time dwindle.

Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBI on Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Cabrera drew a walk in his first plate appearance and followed that up with a two-RBI single in the third frame. It was another productive contest for Cabrera, who has five multi-hit games and nine RBI across his last eight contests. He's had a productive year 232 plate appearances into his age-33 season, hitting .261/.345/.458.

Santana went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Reds.

Santana took Luis Castillo deep in the fourth inning for his 13th home run of the season. He continues to enjoy a resurgent season, recording at least one hit in 11 of his past 12 games. That has helped improve his season-long line to an impressive .286/.404/.519 across 277 plate appearances.

Dixon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.

Dixon also struck out twice, and he's now whiffing 33.9 percent of the time this season. While the 27-year-old does have a nice .289/.305/.509 slash line with six home runs, his high strikeout rate combined with a high BABIP (.397 entering Tuesday) suggest that some regression could be coming.

Bour was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Bour was sent to Triple-A in mid-May after posting a .584 OPS through 30 games, but he's appeared to find his stroke in the minors with a .292/.400/.611 slash line. The 31-year-old will start at first base and bat fifth in his return to the majors.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer as the Yankees defeated the Mets 12-5 in the first game of a doubleheader Tuesday.

Voit gave the Yankees a lead they would not relinquish with a three-run bomb to left in the fourth inning off Zack Wheeler. It was the 28-year-old's 16th homer of the season and the fifth in his last 16 games. Voit's slash line is now .263/.379/.508 for the year, and he has 44 RBI in 236 at-bats.

Casas went 4-for-5 with a home run, double and four RBI on Monday in Low-A Greenville's 9-2 win over Kannapolis.

The four-hit performance was the first of Casas' career since he was selected in the first round of the 2018 first-year player draft. The third baseman has delivered multi-hit efforts in three of his past six starts and maintains a .275/.350/.517 line for the season.

Tellez heads to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Tellez sits for the fourth time in six games, with each off day coming against a lefty starter. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will rest his legs as the designated hitter Tuesday, with Brandon Drury starting at the hot corner.

Cron is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against Seattle.

Cron has hit .333/.397/.596 over his last 14 contests. He'll get a rest Tuesday, with Marwin Gonzalez playing first base.
