Mountcastle is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Mountcastle sits following an 0-for-5, three-strikeout performance Saturday that lowered his average to .282 in the last 10 games. Trey Mancini is starting at first base Sunday, with DJ Stewart filling in as the designated hitter.

Vaughn is not starting Sunday's game against the Royals, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Vaughn has struggled with a .108 average and no extra-base hits in his last 10 games. Jose Abreu is the designated hitter Sunday, with Gavin Sheets getting a start at first base.

Casas went 2-for-3 with two walks, two home runs and four RBI for Double-A Portland on Saturday.

Casas had been in an extended power drought since the middle of July, hitting just one homer over 20 games (66 at-bats), but the Red Sox's No. 1 prospect busted out this weekend. Including the three home runs he belted during Friday's doubleheader, Casas has five in the last two days.

Santana went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday in a loss to the White Sox.

Santana clubbed a 441-foot solo shot in the sixth inning for the Royals' final run. The long ball snapped 35-game streak without a homer for the veteran, during which he batted only .185 with a mere five RBI over 130 at-bats. Santana has recently been dealing with a hip injury, so Saturday's power display could be a sign that he is feeling better.

Wade went 1-for-1 with a double, a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Dodgers.

The 27-year-old has started in just one of the last four games, as Kris Bryant has settled into seeing most of the at-bats in right field. Wade didn't do himself any favors by hitting .237 across 26 games in August. He could see more playing time in left field after Alex Dickerson (hamstring) went on the injured list Saturday. Wade is slashing .254/.326/.520 with 17 home runs, six stolen bases, 43 RBI and 38 runs scored across 287 plate appearances.

Tellez went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Cardinals.

Tellez singled off Kwang Hyun Kim in the second inning, which Lorenzo Cain scored on a scoring error. In addition, Tellez scored on a Luke Maile ground-rule double. The 26-year-old Tellez is slashing .261/.329/.463 with seven long balls, 26 RBI and 19 runs in 300 plate appearances with the Brewers.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a home run, a single, a walk and four RBI in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Twins.

Diaz plated a run with an RBI single in the first inning before smashing a three-run homer off Andrew Albers in the second to bust the game wide open. The production is nice to see from the 30-year-old, as he went 1-for-11 in his first three games in September after he spent his last five games of August hitting .357.

Padlo was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Padlo was called up Wednesday but entered just a single game during his time with the team, striking out in his lone plate appearance. He's now gone 1-for-13 with nine strikeouts to start his big-league career.

Bohm hasn't played for Triple-A Lehigh Valley since Sunday due to a sore wrist, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bohm was demoted in late August in an effort to get him back on track following a very disappointing sophomore season at the big-league level. He looked good through six Triple-A games, hitting .318 with more walks (five) than strikeouts (four), but his quest to sort out his swing has now been on hold for several days. He's at least been able to work out on the field prior to games, so his absence may not last much longer, but it remains unclear when he'll play again in the minors, let alone for the Phillies.

Guerrero went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 11-10 win over the A's.

The young superstar didn't manage an extra-base hit, but he still led Toronto in knocks in a wild and much-needed come-from-behind victory. Guerrero extended his hitting streak to 11 games in the process, and he remains within striking distance of a Triple Crown if he can stay hot through September, as he's posting a .316/.407/.601 slash line with 39 homers, 97 RBI and 100 runs in 132 games on the season.
