Aranda went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees.

Aranda left the yard for just the second time this month with a solo blast to right-center field in the third inning. Tuesday was his third multi-hit effort over the last six games, and he's reached base safely in nine straight. Aranda is enjoying a breakout season and currently ranks third in the American League in batting average (.315) and on-base percentage (.396) and is sixth in OPS (.876).

Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Guardians.

Toglia's lone hit of the night went deep to left field in the seventh. It was his first hit since July 18 and just his second home run since June 19. There's known power in Toglia's bat, but he has played himself out of a regular role at first base due to his cold hitting.

Pasquantino went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, double and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 9-6 win over Atlanta.

Pasquantino got the Royals on the board early with a solo shot in the first inning, before adding an RBI double in the sixth as part of his second three-hit effort in his last six games. With his recent power surge, the first baseman now has 18 homers on the season, and he's tacked on 65 RBI, 43 runs scored and a .268/.329/.446 slash line through 105 games.

Vaughn went 3-for-4 with a home run, six RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.

Vaughn singled and scored in the second inning before bringing home a run with a sacrifice fly in the third. He knocked an RBI single in the fifth and capped off his day with a game-sealing grand slam in the sixth. Vaughn has gone deep three times in his last four games and has knocked five long balls in 15 games since joining the Brewers. The 27-year-old has gone 18-for-48 (.375) during that 15-game span. Vaughn is now slashing .227/.268/.408 with 10 home runs and 40 RBI in 63 total MLB games this season.

Walker went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.

That's now four consecutive outings with at least one hit for Walker, who continues to heat up in July following a miserable start to his Astros career. The veteran first baseman had a .635 OPS for the year through June 29, but Walker is hitting a hot .329 with three home runs, four doubles and 18 RBI through 85 at-bats this month.

The Mariners are expected to recall Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Locklear wasn't able to crack the big-league roster out of spring training, but he's slashed .316/.401/.543 with 19 home runs and 17 stolen bases over 97 games at Triple-A this season. The 24-year-old isn't likely to see regular playing time after the Mariners acquired Josh Naylor, though the right-handed-hitting Locklear could draw starts over the lefty-hitting Naylor at first base when Seattle faces southpaws.

The Brewers announced Tuesday that the goal is for Hoskins (thumb) to begin rehab assignment in late August, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The veteran first baseman landed on the shelf in early July due to a Grade 2 thumb sprain, and his initial return timeline was about 6-to-8 weeks. Hoskins now appears to be trending toward the back end of that timeline, but he could still be activated before the end of August, depending on how long of a rehab stint he requires.

Bauers (shoulder) is going through a hitting progression and hopes to begin a rehab assignment in mid-to-late-August, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Bauers had previously mentioned mid-August as a target, but it would appear he's not coming along as quickly as hoped. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since just after the All-Star break with a left shoulder impingement.

Santana is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

It looks to be a routine day off for Santana, who has just a .440 OPS so far in the second half. Kyle Manzardo will handle first base and David Fry will be the designated hitter for the Guardians.

Mountcastle (hamstring) is not expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list until next week's series in Philadelphia, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Mountcastle has played three rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk and is eligible for activation Wednesday, but the Orioles will give him a little more time following a nearly two-month long absence due to a right hamstring strain. With Ryan O'Hearn a candidate to be traded ahead of Thursday's deadline, Mountcastle and Coby Mayo could be in line to share the first-base and designated-hitter spots for the Orioles down the stretch.
