Naylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during Sunday's 9-5 loss to Baltimore.

Naylor extended his hit streak to eight games Sunday, tagging Corbin Burnes for a three-run shot in the fifth inning. During that stretch, Naylor is 12-for-29 with two homers, nine RBI and seven runs scored. The first baseman has 24 long balls on the year and a .250/.329/.487 slash line across 430 plate appearances.

Diaz had X-rays come back negative and was diagnosed with a bruised left wrist after exiting Sunday's 1-0 win over the Astros, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

The first baseman initially attempted to stay in the game after being struck by a 109.8 mile-per-hour grounder off the bat of Yordan Alvarez but was ultimately removed from the contest. Diaz went 1-for-2 with a walk before leaving the game. He avoided a fracture and should be considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday's series opener at St. Louis.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Turner started the past four games after being acquired from the Blue Jays on Monday, and he went 5-for-18 with a home run in his first week with the Mariners. Jason Vosler will take over at first base in the series finale versus the Phillies.

Santana is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Jose Miranda will get the starting nod at first base while Santana takes a seat for the first time since July 8. Santana went hitless in the first two games of the series, but he owns a respectable .734 OPS over his 13 starts since the All-Star break.

Vaughn (illness) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Vaughn was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's 6-2 loss due to the ailment, but he apparently made enough progress to make his return to the starting nine for the series finale. Since the All-Star break, Vaughn is slashing just .180/.226/.320 with two home runs, five RBI and four runs in 13 games.

Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Mountcastle will get a breather for the series finale in Cleveland after he had started in each of the Orioles' last eight games while going 8-for-33 with three extra-base hits, nine RBI and four runs. He'll cede his spot in the lineup to trade-deadline pickup Eloy Jimenez, who serves as the Orioles' designated hitter while Ryan O'Hearn fills in for Mountcastle at first base.

Rice is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Rice has slumped to a .152/.255/.348 slash line since the All-Star break and will give way Sunday to DJ LeMahieu, who will draw another start at first base after breaking out of his season-long swoon at the plate by going 2-for-4 with a home run and six RBI while filling in for Rice in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Phillies. Though the lefty-hitting Rice is on the bench against a right-hander (Yariel Rodriguez) on Sunday, Rodriguez sports reverse splits for the season, which likely factored into the Yankees' decision to hold Rice out of the lineup.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Bauers has taken hold of a strong-side platoon role for Milwaukee since Christian Yelich (back) landed on the injured list July 24, but Bauers will find himself on the bench for the third time in four contests while the Brewers face another lefty (Mitchell Parker). Gary Sanchez will end up taking Bauers' spot in the lineup, as Sanchez will start at catcher while William Contreras serves as the club's designated hitter and Rhys Hoskins starts at first base.

Canha is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Canha has now started just once in four games since joining the Giants after being acquired from the Tigers on Tuesday. The right-handed-hitting Canha's lone start came Friday versus Reds lefty Andrew Abbott, with the other three absences coming while the Giants have faced right-handed pitching. Canha looks like he'll have to settle for a short-side platoon role while the Giants have all their key lineup contributors at full health.

Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

The sixth-inning long ball off Kenta Maeda was Pasquantino's 15th of the season, and his fourth in the last four games. He's also driven in at least one run in five straight contests and hit safely in seven straight, continuing a hot streak that has seen the first baseman slash .371/.394/.597 over 15 games since the All-Star break with 17 RBI.
