Olson went 2-for-4 with a two-run single, a double and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Although he limped to a .220 average overall during the month of July, Olson went 5-for-12 with two doubles and Tuesday's pair of RBI over the last three games. Olson isn't keeping anywhere near the same frenetic home-run pace he established during his 2017 rookie campaign, but he's still blasted an impressive 21 round trippers and compiled 40 extra-base hits overall across 451 plate appearances this season.

Guerrero went 0-for-1 with three walks, two runs and an RBI in his debut Tuesday for Triple-A Buffalo in the affiliate's 11-8 loss to Lehigh Valley.

There were about 4,000 more fans in attendance than usual at Coca-Cola Field in Buffalo in anticipation of Guerrero's debut, and the 19-year-old didn't disappoint. While he failed to provide any splashy highlights, the three-walk performance exemplifies Guerrero's top-notch plate discipline, which helped him deliver a .449 on-base percentage over 61 games at Double-A New Hampshire. There's little doubt at this point that Guerrero is big-league ready, but the third baseman may continue to marinate in the International League for the rest of the season with the non-contending Blue Jays perhaps motivated to delay the start of his MLB service clock until 2019.

Flores (illness) will man first base and bat third against the Nationals on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Flores will not miss any additional time after leaving Tuesday's game due to dizziness and dehydration in the first inning. Over 24 games in July, he hit .276 with a .764 OPS and eight RBI.

Calhoun went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Rays.

Calhoun has risen from the ashes in July, slashing .322/.378/.759 with 10 homers and 25 RBI following an abysmal first three months of the season (.162/.216/.224). The 30-year-old's recent hot play and placement atop the order against righties has restored his status as a viable mixed-league fantasy outfielder.

O'Hearn went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

O'Hearn connected for a two-run shot off James Shields in his MLB debut. Prior to getting called up, the 25-year-old was hitting .232 with 11 homers and 52 RBI in 100 games for Triple-A Omaha. O'Hearn figures to see some time at first base as well as at designated hitter.

Flores left Tuesday's game against the Nationals due to dizziness and dehydration, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Flores hit a double in the top of the first inning but exited part-way through the bottom half of the inning due to the issues. The 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Bour is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Braves, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Bour will sit against left-handed rookie Kolby Allard. Miguel Rojas will slide over to first base in his absence, with JT Riddle starting at shortstop.

O'Hearn had his contract purchased from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

In a corresponding move, the club put Brian Goodwin (groin) on the DL and transferred Cheslor Cuthbert (back) to the 60-day disabled list. Through 100 games at Omaha this year, O'Hearn has slashed .232/.322/.391 with 11 home runs and 52 RBI. He will serve as Lucas Duda's backup at first base.

Cabrera went 2-for-6 with a run and a double in Monday's loss in Boston.

Cabrera has started all three games since being shipped to Philadelphia on Friday, appearing once at shortstop, once at second base, and once as a designated hitter. The Phillies seem committed to getting him in the lineup on a regular basis at various spots around the diamond, which could help Cabrera keep eligibility at multiple positions next season.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Marlins.

It was his 18th homer of the year but just his third in July, although Freeman's still maintained value on the month with a .299/.351/.494 slash line, 12 runs and 13 RBI in 22 games. Given his red-hot first half, don't be surprised if Freeman picks up the pace again in August.
