Dalbec went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

Dalbec's second-inning blast, his 10th, snapped an 0-for-15 skid, a stretch that included 10 strikeouts. He remains Boston's primary first baseman, but his .685 OPS and 37.6 percent strikeout rate leaves him susceptible to losing at-bats to Michael Chavis or Danny Santana.

Bour signed a one-year, $350,000 deal with the LG Twins of the Korea Baseball Organization on Tuesday, Jee-ho Yoo of Yonhap News Agency reports.

Bour, who signed a minor-league deal with the Giants this offseason, slashed .213/.346/.426 with six home runs across 130 plate appearances at Triple-A Sacramento before the organization released him over the weekend. The 33-year-old didn't take long to find a more lucrative opportunity overseas, where he'll remain for the rest of the season. Bour will be making his second appearance in a foreign league after he spent the 2020 campaign in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball with the Hanshin Tigers.

Mountcastle went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two walks and two runs in Monday's 9-7 win over the Astros.

Mountcastle took Zack Greinke deep in the fifth inning to give the Orioles the lead and ended up reaching base safely four times in the game. The 24-year-old has been on fire lately, batting .396 with six long balls, 13 RBI and a 7:11 BB:K over his last 13 games. He is slashing .269/.309/.478 in 288 plate appearances this season.

Hiura went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, four RBI and two runs in Monday's 14-4 win over the Cubs.

Hiura took Trevor Megill deep in the eighth inning. At that point in the inning, the Brewers were putting on a show and beating up on Megill, who allowed six runs without recording a single out. The 24-year-old has struggled this season, slashing .160/.243/.320 in 142 plate appearances. However, he was recently called up again due to multiple injuries in Milwaukee's infield, and he's responded with three home runs in his last four games.

Wade went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout as San Francisco fell 3-2 to the Dodgers on Monday.

Wade singled to lead off the game and homered off Trevor Bauer in the third to get San Francisco on the board. He's now 4-for-10 with two home runs and a walk in four games since being recalled from Triple-A and is making a strong case to remain with the big-league club.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Monday's 6-5 loss to Boston.

Santana gave the Royals an early lead with his three-run blast off Garrett Richards in the first inning. The veteran slugger is slashing .243/.365/.410 with 13 homers and 45 RBI on the year. He's hitting just .228 with three long balls in June.

Bohm went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a walk and a run scored Monday against the Reds.

Bohm got the Phillies on the board in the fourth inning with an RBI double to center, and he plated another run in the fifth on an RBI single. His multi-hit performance is a welcome sight for Philadelphia, as he went hitless over the weekend against the Mets (0-for-10). Despite a brief dry spell at the dish, he's batting .333 with 11 RBI and 13 runs scored through 21 games in June.

Votto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 12-4 victory over the Phillies.

Votto tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth inning, slugging a solo homer to right center. Monday's long ball marks his first since June 14 and his fourth of June (19 games). The veteran slugger is now slashing .241/.323/.437 with nine homers and 33 RBI through 48 games on the year.

Alonso went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Monday's 8-4 loss to Washington.

Alonso's 12th homer of the season was a two-run blast in the eighth inning to cut the Nationals' lead to 5-3. It was just his second homer over the last 19 games and fifth of the month. He's sporting an .818 OPS with 38 RBI over 259 plate appearances on the year.

Abreu (knee) was ready to play Monday against Minnesota if the game hadn't been postponed by rain, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Abreu was hit by a pitch in his left knee in the first half of Sunday's doubleheader against Seattle and did not take part in the nightcap. Whether or not the White Sox actually would have started him Monday is unclear, as his opinion of his health doesn't necessarily line up with the team's, but it doesn't look as though he'll miss too much more time.
