Lowe went 3-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Astros.

Lowe has four multi-hit efforts over his last eight games, going 13-for-29 (.448) with a home run, five doubles and seven RBI in that span. The infielder hit .325 in July and is continuing his strong play into August. For the season, he's up to a .264/.353/.510 slash line with 12 homers, 37 RBI, 32 runs scored and two stolen bases over 238 plate appearances.

Diaz went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Astros.

Diaz is 9-for-29 (.310) with two homers and four RBI over seven games since he returned from attending to a personal matter. The first baseman has reached double-digit homers in four of the last six years, but he's well off the pace that saw him swat 22 long balls last season. Through 101 contests in 2024, Diaz has a .276/.331/.410 slash line, 10 homers, 50 RBI, 40 runs scored, 23 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases.

Lowe went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and three RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Astros.

Lowe entered the game with just five homers on the year, and none of them had come since his two-homer game June 21 versus the Pirates. He repeated the feat Saturday, hitting a two-run blast in the fifth inning and a solo shot in the seventh. While he hasn't displayed much power recently, he has gone 16-for-48 (.333) with eight RBI and three stolen bases across his last 14 contests. For the year, he has a .239/.299/.418 slash line, seven long balls, 10 steals, 22 RBI, 20 runs scored and 12 doubles over 201 plate appearances.

Littell (5-7) allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Astros on Saturday.

Littell allowed the opening run of the game, a Jon Singleton solo home run in the first inning. The Rays were able to bounce back on offense while Littell was sharp the rest of the way to collect consecutive wins for the first time this season. The right-hander has allowed just one run on seven hits and two walks over his last 12.2 innings. For the season, he's pitched to a 4.06 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 108:23 K:BB over 119.2 innings through 22 starts. Littell is projected to make his next start at home versus the Orioles.

The Angels selected Leblanc's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Leblanc will join the major-league roster after producing a .262 average with 12 home runs, 48 RBI, 51 runs scored and four stolen bases over 81 games with Salt Lake this season. With Luis Rengifo (wrist) being placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Leblanc may be thrust into regular at-bats with the big-league club at third base.

The Angeles placed Rengifo on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right wrist inflammation.

Rengifo had his right wrist injury flare up in Friday's loss to the Mets and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next week. In a corresponding move, the Angels called up infielder Charles Leblanc from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Judge went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Judge hit a two-run home run in the first inning and then singled and came around to score in the seventh. He has homered six times in his past 10 games and is so good he was intentionally walked in just the second inning. On the year, the 32-year-old leads the majors with 41 homers, 103 RBI and a 1.154 OPS across 492 plate appearances.

Guerrero went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Yankees.

Guerrero hit a solo homer in the first inning, singled in the fourth and then doubled and scored a run in the sixth. He is as hot as it gets right now, having extended his hit streak to 16 games with nine homers in that span. On the year, the 25-year-old is hitting .318 with 22 home runs, 72 RBI and 65 runs scored across 480 plate appearances.

Holmes struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Holmes was called upon with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and struck out George Springer to earn a one-out save. The 31-year-old has rebounded from a rough patch of three consecutive blown saves by converting back-to-back chances on just 11 total pitches. On the season, he is 23-for-31 in save chances with a 2.80 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB across 45 innings.

Volpe went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Volpe hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning and added an RBI single in the seventh. The shortstop is enjoying an eight-game hit streak in which he has homered four times and logged five multi-hit efforts. On the season, he is batting .261 with 11 homers, 44 RBI, 72 runs scored and 19 steals across 500 plate appearances.
