White went 4-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

White was a hit machine, collecting four singles for the second time since being called up July 17. Through 10 games, the 23-year-old is slashing .359/.390/.410 in 41 plate appearances but has yet to record his first big-league RBI. With Zack Gelof (knee) and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) on the injured list, White appears to have a firm grip on a regular role at the hot corner.

Okamoto went 1-for-2 with a homer and two runs scored in Toronto's 8-6 loss to Washington on Tuesday.

After replacing the injured Vladimir Guerrero (hamstring) at first base in the bottom of the fourth inning, Okamoto clubbed a homer in his first at-bat in the fifth. The 30-year-old later came around to score on George Springer's three-run homer in the eighth. On the campaign, Okamoto is slashing .226/.304/.449 with 24 homers and 66 RBI in 427 plate appearances. If Guerrero is to miss time, Okamoto would likely receive more playing time at first base.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Reds.

The star third baseman produced a run nearly single-handedly in the fifth inning of an eventual 6-5 win for Cleveland, reaching on a one-out single, swiping second and third off the battery of Chase Burns and Tyler Stephenson, and then coming home on a Chase DeLauter sacrifice fly. Ramirez, who stole his first bags since returning from a hand injury July 22, is up to 26 steals on the season in just 78 games. After an 0-for-4 showing in the nightcap, he carries a .235/.332/.399 slash line with 10 homers, 35 RBI and 45 runs.

Caminero went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple and a double in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Texas.

Caminero drove in the only Rays run of the night with an RBI triple that scored Yandy Diaz in the sixth. The 23-year-old also notched his 18th double of the campaign in the fourth inning. The powerful third baseman is in the midst of a homer drought with no long balls over his past 10 games, though he's batting .317 with four doubles and Tuesday's triple during that stretch. On the season, Caminero is now slashing .285/.373/.550 with 29 home runs and 64 RBI in 464 plate appearances.

The Red Sox are expected to place Mead on the 10-day injured list after he was diagnosed Tuesday with a fractured left wrist, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

Mead was hit on the wrist by a pitch during his second at-bat while making his Red Sox debut in Monday's 4-2 win over the Athletics, and the 25-year-old infielder is now facing an extended stint on the IL after follow-up tests on his wrist revealed a fracture. The team hasn't provided an estimated recovery timeline, though if Mead needs surgery, he could be lost for the season. The Red Sox plan to call up Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester to replace Mead on the 26-man active roster, and Anthony Seigler will likely reclaim a regular role at second base.

Guzman is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Guzman had started the last four games since July 24 for the Angels, going 2-for-14 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored. As the third baseman hits the bench Tuesday, Vaughn Grissom is starting at third with Oswald Peraza taking over at second base.

Lewis is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals

Lewis started the Twins' previous eight games and will hit the bench after going 5-for-28 with two doubles and four steals during that stretch. Victor Caratini is getting the start at first base Tuesday for Minnesota.

Okamoto is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Okamoto started the previous five games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 4-for-21 (.190) with a double, a homer and nine strikeouts during that span. The Japanese third baseman has a .606 OPS through 21 games in July, which has dropped his season-long slash line down to .224/.304/.441 in 425 plate appearances.

Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

After making six consecutive starts at third base, Encarnacion-Strand finds himself on the bench Tuesday for a second straight game. The 26-year-old has a 1.155 OPS with three homers in seven games since getting promoted by Baltimore in mid-July, but Coby Mayo will pick up a second straight start the hot corner after homering in Monday's contest.

Gelof (knee) is continuing a running progression and participating in baseball activities, per MLB.com.

Gelof landed on the injured list July 10 due to a right knee laceration and has been progressing in his recovery since having his stitches removed. It remains to be seen whether the 26-year-old will require a rehab assignment, but he's on track to return to action in early August. Before hitting the shelf, Gelof slashed .273/.327/.476 with 11 home runs, 29 RBI, 41 runs and eight stolen bases across 67 contests.
