Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Rangers.

Gurriel took Kolby Allard yard in the eighth inning to record his fourth homer of the season. He has one hit in six of his last seven starts, but more importantly, he has five extra-base knocks in that span. That has increased Gurriel's ISO to .147 on the campaign, in line with his mark from the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

Voit went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, two runs and two RBI in a 19-5 win against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Voit walked in the first inning, doubled in the fifth and seventh and cracked a solo home run in the ninth off Chicago first baseman Frank Schwindel. The 31-year-old has been hot over his last four games, going 7-for-19 with three home runs and three doubles, though the walk was his first since June 1. Voit is now slashing .237/.318/.432 with eight home runs, 24 runs and 28 RBI.

Mountcastle went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Mountcastle played a key role in the Orioles' comeback push, hitting a solo shot in the seventh inning and a game-tying two-run blast in the eighth. The 25-year-old has found his power in June, crushing four homers in his last four games. For the season, he's up to 12 homers, 33 RBI, 27 runs scored, two stolen bases, 10 doubles and a .267/.305/.490 slash line through 52 contests. Seven of his last nine hits have gone for extra bases.

Guerrero went 4-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

Guerrero hit a solo shot in the fifth inning and a walkoff single in the 10th to account for the Blue Jays' last two runs in the game. This was the first baseman's fourth multi-hit effort in his six-game hitting streak, a span that's seen him go 13-for-27 (.481) with three long balls, eight RBI and eight runs scored. The hot stretch has his season slash line up to .271/.355/.511 with 16 homers, 39 RBI, 34 runs scored and seven doubles through 61 contests. His .866 OPS is his highest mark since May 11.

Tellez isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Tellez will get a rare day off after he went 1-for-13 with an RBI, two walks and two strikeouts over the last four games. Keston Hiura is starting at first base and batting sixth.

Dalbec is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Franchy Cordero is receiving the nod at first base, but Dalbec is effectively being replaced in the lineup by Triple-A Worcester call-up Jarren Duran, who is joining the starting outfield. Cordero had been seeing more time in the outfield of late following Enrique Hernandez's (hip) recent placement on the injured list, which had allowed Dalbec to earn more work against right-handed pitching. Dalbec started each of Boston's last seven contests.

Cooper isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper started in the last two games and went 2-for-9 with an RBI and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Jorge Soler serves as the designated hitter with Bryan De La Cruz starting in left field.

Santana will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Manager Mike Matheny suggested earlier in June that Santana was likely to see his playing time take a hit moving forward, but that hasn't come to fruition just yet. The 36-year-old will stick in the lineup for the eighth time in nine games, with his improved production at the plate likely playing a major factor in him receiving steady at-bats. Dating back to June 7, Santana has slashed .409/.552/.636 while walking seven times and striking out just once.

Naylor went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and two doubles in a 4-3 extra-inning win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

Naylor's three-hit performance lifts his batting average to .277 in a year when averages are down across the board. His mark puts him over 36 points above MLB's league-wide .241 average. After season-ending ankle surgery in 2021, Naylor is looking to put together his first full healthy season and rack up hits around the middle of the Guardians' batting order.

Voit went 2-for-6 with a home run, two runs scored and five RBI in a 12-5 win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

With his team down by five in the sixth, Voit hit a two-run shot to put his team on the board. He would also cash in the go ahead-run on a bases-clearing, three-RBI double his very next at-bat. Voit is now slashing .226/.306/.396 on the season. Despite carrying a 33.9 percent strikeout rate, Voit is a mainstay in the heart of the Padres lineup and should continue to see plenty of RBI opportunities from the cleanup spot.
