Caminero went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a walk during Monday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Caminero extended Tampa Bay's lead to 4-1 in the fifth with an RBI single before driving home another run on a double in the seventh. It was his 27th multi-hit game of the season and his sixth outings with three hits. Caminero has reached base safely in nine consecutive games, and over that span he has gone 12-for-34 (.353) with one steal, three home runs, four doubles, six RBI and six runs scored.

Rivas (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Rivas missed all of June while dealing with an unspecified injury, but he made four rehab appearances in the Arizona Complex League in early July and has since returned to Triple-A Tacoma. He's 1-for-5 with a walk and three strikeouts in two games since his activation.

Loftin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Loftin will move to the bench for the series opener after he went 1-for-12 at the dish while starting in all three of the Royals' games versus the Padres over the weekend. Josh Rojas will fill in for Loftin at third base and will bat eighth.

The Astros optioned Delgado to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Delgado was recalled and started at second base in Sunday's loss to the Orioles, but he finds himself back in the minors a day later. He'll be used as a utility infielder at Sugar Land.

Piasentin has not played for the Florida Gulf Coast League Blue Jays since June 8 due to knee soreness, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.

Pontes reports that Piasentin, who has not been officially placed on the injured list, could be back soon. The 6-foot-3 third baseman is hitting .188 with a .349 OBP, one home run and a 26.7 percent strikeout rate in 21 games as a 19-year-old in complex ball.

Arias is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

The Guardians will go with Daniel Schneemann at third base while Arias retreats to the bench for the series opener. Arias had covered the hot corner in four of Cleveland's previous five games, going 5-for-15 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs during that stretch.

White went 0-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals.

White made his major-league debut in Friday's series opener, going 1-for-4 with a double. After being held out of the lineup for Saturday's 15-1 win, White re-entered the starting nine at first base Sunday and went hitless but drew his first major-league walk in the bottom of the seventh inning. White will likely continue to see work at both first base and third base in the absence of Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee).

Mayo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Astros.

Mayo launched a solo shot in the sixth inning before adding a single in the eighth. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a strong July so far, posting a 1.015 OPS with three homers through 10 games this month. With Blaze Alexander landing on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a broken hand, Mayo should have a fairly clear path to an everyday role at third base if he's able to maintain his hot-hitting ways.

McMahon is not in the starting lineup for the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

McMahon will head to the bench as New York looks to avoid being swept Sunday. The 31-year-old went 0-for-3 in the matinee, and he'll be replaced at the hot corner by Jose Caballero in the series finale.

The Astros recalled Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Delgado will make his way back up to the big-league club after a two-week stint in Triple-A. The 26-year-old is expected to serve as a utility infielder for Houston after producing a .267/.313/.400 batting line with one home and four RBI in his first 33 big-league plate appearances.
