The Mariners selected Locklear's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. He'll start at first base and bat seventh in Seattle's series finale against Kansas City.

Locklear began the season with Double-A Arkansas but earned promotion to Tacoma earlier this month and slashed .300/.417/.475 with one home run and seven RBI over 48 plate appearances. With Ty France (heel) landing on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, Locklear could be headed for a regular role as Seattle's primary first baseman.

France, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, has a slight hairline fracture in his right heel, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

France was seen in a walking boot Saturday after sustaining the injury on a hit-by-pitch Friday against Kansas City. While there is no exact timeline on his recovery, the 29-year-old first baseman will likely be on the injured list beyond the 10-day minimum. Before the heel fracture, France was slashing .251/.329/.403 with seven home runs and 27 RBI over 237 plate appearances. The Mariners selected Tyler Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move, and he will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's series finale against Royals southpaw Cole Ragans.

The Mariners placed France on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right heel injury, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

France was scratched from Saturday's lineup after he sustained the injury in Friday's 10-9 loss to the Royals when he was hit by a pitch on the right heel. Manager Scott Servais said after Saturday's game that he was "concerned" about France's injury, per Drayer. Tyler Locklear is expected to be called up from Triple-A Tacoma to fill in at first base for the injured France.

Lowe went 0-for-2 with a walk, a sacrifice fly and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Giants.

Lowe delivered the Rangers' lone run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning. It was just his fifth RBI over the last 17 games. The slumping first baseman was recently removed from starting lineups against left-handers and is batting .207 (12-for-58) over the last 19 contests.

Cincinnati manager David Bell said Saturday that Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) visited a specialist, who advised five days of additional rest, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Encarnacion-Strand had met with team doctors June 5 and was given the green light to take the next step in his rehab progression, but the injured first baseman opted for a second opinion. Bell is hopeful Encarnacion-Strand can resume his progression following the current rest period and begin swinging a bat "in the next couple of weeks." This development pushes out a potential return at least another two weeks.

Schanuel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Astros.

Schanuel got the Angels on the board with a seventh-inning solo shot off Houston reliever Rafael Montero. This was Schanuel's second homer in his last three games, though those long balls are his only hits over his last 30 at-bats. The first baseman is slashing .213/.284/.337 with seven homers, 20 RBI, 19 runs scored and no stolen base through 227 plate appearances this season.

Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Red Sox.

Vaughn has had a forgettable start to the 2024 season, but he's picked up his performance of late. After Saturday's showing, he's now gone yard in three straight starts and also has at least one hit in eight straight games. In that span, he's gone 11-for-31 with six runs scored and four RBI.

Cronenworth went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, an RBI single and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Cronenworth's fourth-inning blast turned the game into a rout, and he tacked on one more RBI in the fifth. The infielder has hit well lately, going 10-for-38 (.263) with nine RBI and four extra-base hits over his last nine games, though his homer Saturday was his first since May 19. On the year, he's slashing .261/.322/.446 with nine homers, 44 RBI, 27 runs scored, 15 doubles, two triples and one stolen base over 64 contests.

Dalbec went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the White Sox.

Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, the 28-year-old took Nick Nastrini deep in the fifth inning for Boston's only offense, and Dalbec's first long ball in the majors this season. He's flashed plenty of power in the minors -- in his last 140 games for Triple-A Worcester, he's slugged 41 homers -- but that hasn't yet translated to the game's highest level with any consistency. He'll lose playing time, and likely his spot on the 26-man roster, when players like Tyler O'Neill (knee), Wilyer Abreu (ankle) and Masataka Yoshida (thumb) are back in action, as Dalbec's .159/.243/.238 slash line in 28 games for the Red Sox makes a poor case to keep him around.

Tellez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Twins.

The 29-year-old slugger took Simeon Woods Richardson deep in the seventh inning to produce the game's first run, then was at the heart of a three-run rally in the eighth. Tellez hadn't homered since March 31, and Saturday's blast snapped a 48-game power drought in which he slashed just .197/.262/.235 with five doubles. He is showing signs of life at the plate, however, batting .391 (9-for-23) over his last seven games with seven of his 15 RBI on the season.
