The Athletics recalled Alvarez from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez has slashed .276/.323/.310 during his time with Oakland this season in his first go-round in the big leagues. The 30-year-old offers defensive versatility and should operate as a backup at multiple spots.

Olson went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Twins.

Olson drilled a three-run homer in the first inning and drove in two more runs with a second-inning double, and he's now gone deep in back-to-back games. After hitting only 15 long balls through his first 106 games, Olson has eight over his last 25 games. The hot streak has pushed his season slash line to .230/.312/.432 with 52 extra-base hits and 71 RBI through 552 plate appearances.

Harper went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Monday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Astros.

The 31-year-old played hero for the Phillies, walking it off with a 10th-inning single that brought home Kyle Schwarber as the phantom runner. Harper also has a two-bagger in four straight contests, and through 22 games in August he's slashing .287/.354/.460 with nine doubles, two homers, nine RBI and 10 runs.

Casas went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays. He was 0-for-2 with a walk in the afternoon game.

The afternoon game was the resumption of a June 26 contest suspended by rain. Casas, who was on the injured list at that time, took over at first base for the departed Dominic Smith. The two hits in the nightcap gave him six multi-hit efforts in the 10 games since coming off the IL. Casas is batting .359/.419/.538 with three extra-base hits (two home runs), six RBI and six runs scored since he was activated Aug. 16.

Yepez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Yankees.

Yepez took Nestor Cortes deep in the seventh inning for his fifth homer of the campaign. Yepez has now hit two home runs in his last four games, after getting three in his previous 39 games this season. The 26-year-old has found regular playing time with the Nationals since being called up in the beginning of July, and he's slashing .284/.331/.451 thus far.

Torkelson went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Torkelson has been in a nice groove since returning to the majors on Aug. 17. Across nine games, the 25-year-old is batting .333 with two home runs and six RBI, including the big effort on his birthday Monday. Torkelson mashed 31 home runs last season, and while he's had an up-and-down 2024 campaign, the talent and upside are still there for him to make a significant fantasy impact.

Diaz is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Seattle, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It looks to be a routine day off for Diaz, who had started every game since July 26. Brandon Lowe will play first base and Dylan Carlson will bat leadoff for the series opener against the Mariners.

Rice is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

The lefty-hitting Rice will head to the bench for the second day in a row while the Yankees face lefty starting pitchers in consecutive games. DJ LeMahieu will draw the start at first base against Nationals southpaw Mitchell Parker.

The Orioles placed Mountcastle on the 10-day injured list Monday with a sprained left wrist, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mountcastle initially suffered the injury while sliding into second base during last Thursday's game against the Astros and did not recover quickly enough to avoid a stint on the IL. He will be eligible to return Sept. 2, although it's unclear at this point whether he has a chance for activation on that date. Ryan O'Hearn should see most of the action at first base while Mountcastle is sidelined, with Eloy Jimenez picking up some playing time at designated hitter.

Soderstrom (wrist) has been hitting off a tee and is slated to start a soft toss hitting program near the end of the week, MLB.com reports.

The rookie has been ramping up his activity level in recent days, playing catch for the first first time on Wednesday and then advancing to swinging a bat over the weekend. Soderstrom still projects for a return at some point in September, which would give him an opportunity to build some momentum before heading into what is expected to be a key offseason for his development.
