Vaughn went 4-for-5 with two doubles and a home run for the AZL White Sox on Tuesday.

Vaughn, the White Sox's first-round pick (third overall) in the 2019 draft, showcased why he was deemed worthy of being selected that high. He profiles has an elite hitter with power and is good enough defensively to stick as a first baseman.

Solano went 3-for-6 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Padres.

The veteran utility infielder received the start at shortstop and acted as the Giants' leadoff man, a role he's been filling lately when the team opposes left-handed pitching. He kicked the game off with his first home run of the season as the Giants throttled San Diego for the second straight night. Solano's slashing a surprising .311/.342/.392 through 28 games since joining the Giants, but his .355 BABIP suggests a cool-down could happen at any time.

Flores (foot) has resumed full baseball activity, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Flores is taking groundballs and moving around freely. This, after the injured second baseman was already swinging a bat in a controlled environment. Flores, who fractured his right foot and hasn't played since May 19, is close to beginning a rehab assignment.

Gurriel went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.

The 35-year-old took German Marquez deep in the second inning and Jake McGee in the seventh, with the latter blast proving to be the game-winner. Half of Gurriel's 10 homers on the year have come in his last seven games, a stretch during which he's slashing a stunning .414/.452/1.034.

Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Rangers.

Calhoun entered Tuesday's contest 4-for-34 with 12 strikeouts over his last 10 games, so it was a much-needed effort from the outfielder. The 31-year-old is slashing .229/.319/.471 with 18 home runs though 81 games this season.

Voit (abdomen) is expected to return for the Yankees' series after the All-Star break, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

An MRI revealed a slight abdominal strain for the first baseman, sending him to the 10-day injured list, but the timing of the All-Star break means he may wind up missing just six more games. Edwin Encarnacion and DJ LeMahieu are expected to cover first base in his absence, with at-bats opening up for other players at the designated hitter and third base spots.

Gurriel (ankle) is back in the lineup Tuesday against Colorado, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Gurriel sat out Sunday with a right ankle issue, but he's good to go following Monday's off day. He'll bat fifth and play first base.

Cabrera (back) remains on the bench Tuesday against the Angels.

Cabrera was scratched Sunday against the Rays with lower-back tightness and will sit for at least one more contest. Logan Forsythe starts at third base.

Smith isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Smith will head to the bench with a lefty in James Paxton slated to toe the rubber for the opposition. J.D. Davis draws the nod in left field and is batting third in Smith's stead.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Diaz sits after starting five games in a row. Joey Wendle will get the nod at third base.
