Kirilloff went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

Kirilloff got the Twins on the board with his sixth-inning blast off Guardians starter Cal Quantrill. In 12 games since rejoining the big-league roster, Kirilloff is 13-for-40 (.325) with a homer, five doubles, 12 RBI and five runs scored. A pair of three-hit efforts in his last two games has helped to lift his season slash line to .261/.293/.377 in 75 plate appearances. His homer Wednesday was his first of the year.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Naylor had a sacrifice fly in the third inning and a walkoff two-run homer in the 10th. The first baseman has gone 14-for-48 (.292) in his last 13 contests, adding two homers and six doubles in that span. For the season, he's maintained a solid .271/.328/.492 slash line with nine long balls, 41 RBI, 22 runs scored and a stolen base through 50 games while filling the strong side of a platoon at first base.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Atlanta.

Hoskins accounted for half of the Phillies' hits and their lone run in the game, which came on his third-inning solo shot. The first baseman had gone two weeks without a multi-hit game, and his last homer was on June 14. He's still been a fairly tough out lately -- he's batting .233 (10-for-43) with nine walks in his last 13 contests. Overall, he's slashing .250/.341/.468 with 14 long balls, 38 RBI, 39 runs scored and 15 doubles through 75 games.

Tellez went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during Wednesday's 5-3 win against the Rays.

Tellez's entered the contest with only two hits in his past five games -- the two homers he hit Sunday versus Toronto -- and he responded Wednesday with his third multi-homer game of the season. The 27-year-old is hitting .249/.324/.494 with 15 home runs, 16 doubles, 47 RBI and 29 runs through 72 games.

Vaughn isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Vaughn went just 1-for-18 with a double, two runs and two RBI in the last five games, and he'll be out of the lineup for the first time since June 8. Gavin Sheets is serving as the designated hitter while Leury Garcia starts in right field.

The Phillies selected Hall's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of Wednesday's game against Atlanta. He'll serve as Philadelphia's designated hitter and cleanup batter Wednesday, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old Hall had been one of the top power hitters at the Triple-A level in 2022, mashing 20 home runs and 18 doubles at Lehigh Valley while striking out at a manageable 20 percent clip across 315 plate appearances. The Phillies' upcoming schedule features a slew of opposing right-handed starters, so the lefty-hitting Hall looks in good position to pick up steady at-bats following Bryce Harper's (thumb) recent placement on the IL. Nick Castellanos is expected to see more work in right field to open up starts for Hall at DH.

Padlo was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Padlo started in just two games during his time on the Mariners' active roster, and he'll head to the minors after Seattle traded for Carlos Santana on Monday. Over 42 games at the Triple-A level this year, the 25-year-old has slashed .240/.329/.487 with 10 homers, 26 runs, 25 RBI and seven stolen bases.

Flores is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

He'll take a seat in favor of the lefty-hitting Donovan Walton as the Giants stock up on extra left-handed bats to counter Tigers right-hander Rony Garcia. Flores went 2-for-10 with a home run, a double, two walks, three runs and three RBI while starting each of the past three games, and he should have a fairly clear path to a near-everyday role at second base until Brandon Crawford (knee) comes off the injured list.

Wade (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll bat leadoff and start in right field in the Giants' series finale with the Tigers, according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com.

Wade had been sidelined since May 20 due to left knee inflammation, but he appeared in seven rehab games over the last 10 days. During his rehab assignment, he slashed .261/.357/.478 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and four runs. He should work in the strong side of a platoon now that he's back on the active roster.

Cron went 1-for-3 with two walks and an RBI on Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Cron extended a few modest streaks with his performance. He grounded out in the first inning to record an RBI for the third consecutive game. Five frames later, he singled to center field to extend his hitting streak to four contests. Cron has delivered a balanced line across 321 plate appearances on the season, maintaining a .295 average to go along with 17 home runs, 55 RBI and 45 runs scored.
