France went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run in a loss to the Giants on Tuesday.

France's third-inning three-bagger was the latest impact hit for the trade-deadline acquisition since he arrived in Seattle. The 26-year-old is now hitting .353 (6-for-17) with four RBI, three walks and three runs since making his Mariners debut Sept. 4, reaching safely in all five games during that span.

Tellez (knee) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

It's no surprise to see Tellez out of the lineup, as he's set to undergo an MRI on his right knee Wednesday. Whether or not he'll be forced to miss an extended period won't become clear until the results of the test are known. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be the designated hitter Wednesday, with Travis Shaw starting at first base.

Naylor will not start Wednesday's game against lefty Danny Duffy and the Royals.

Naylor has started against each righty Cleveland has faced since he came over in a deadline-day deal with the Padres, but he's been on the bench against both lefties. Expect that platoon setup to continue going forward. Oscar Mercado takes over in left field Wednesday.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Indians, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Sitting against a right-handed starting pitcher for the second straight game, O'Hearn seems to have surrendered primary duties at first base to Hunter Dozier. The 27-year-old O'Hearn has gone 1-for-24 at the dish over his last eight games, dropping his season-long slash line to .206/.310/.320.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and three strikeouts in a 5-4 loss to the Astros in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Olson went deep in the third inning, giving the Athletics a 4-0 lead at the time. The first baseman is up to 11 long balls this year to go with 29 RBI and 22 runs scored in 40 games despite his .188/.312/.444 slash line.

Bell went 2-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

The double represented his first extra-base hit in September and the two hits pushed his batting average (.206) back over the Mendoza Line. Bell has had plenty of false starts this season, but he's compiled more walks (three) than strikeouts (one) over his last three games for the first time in 2020.

Solano went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Solano has now registered two three-hit performances in two of his last three games and seems to be heating up at the plate, hitting safely in five of seven contests this month and slashing .462/.500/.808 in that stretch. He also has six extra-base hits across that span after racking up seven during the entire month of August.

Walker went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's loss against the Dodgers.

Walker has reached base safely in six straight games, but he has also gone 10 straight contests without two or more knocks. He's only hitting .189 in that stretch but has remained productive, racking up three homers and 10 RBI over that span.

Calhoun went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-9 loss to the Dodgers.

Calhoun's third-inning homer was his ninth on the season, but his first blast in 12 games. He had a stretch of consistent run production during a three-week span in August but has cooled since. Over the last 11 games leading up to Tuesday, Calhoun batted just .114 (4-for-35) with a .622 OPS and one RBI.

Cooper went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in a victory versus Atlanta on Tuesday.

Cooper enjoyed a big night at the plate in the win, drilling a two-run homer in the fourth inning and singling in a run in the seventh. The 29-year-old entered the game having gone 0-for-9 over his previous three contests. He is slashing .261/.292/.543 overall this season.
