Durbin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-5 win over the Orioles.

Durbin was the latest hero in Boston's winning streak. His eighth-inning homer over the left field wall provided the go-ahead run in the club's 14th consecutive victory. It was the 10th home run of the season for Durbin, who's revived bat mirrors that of the team's success. The third baseman is batting .351 (13-for-37) with two homers, five RBI, two steals and eight runs scored over the last 10 games.

Vargas went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs and two RBI in a 10-3 romp over the Rangers on Monday.

Vargas put Chicago on the board in the third inning with a run-scoring double. He added another RBI double in the ninth to help Texas put the game away with a five-run frame. Vargas finished with his fifth three-hit effort of the campaign and collected multiple extra-base hits in a contest for the ninth time. The first-time All-Star is in the midst of a breakout season, slashing .247/.354/.492 while already setting career-high marks in homers (21), RBI (61) and stolen bases (11) through 98 contests.

White went 4-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

This was White's first multi-hit effort, coming in his third career game. The infield prospect is getting a chance to play steadily while Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee) are out. White batted .303 with an .834 OPS over 55 games for Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his call-up coming out of the All-Star break. The Athletics' infield is a bit crowded when everyone's healthy, so it'll be up to White to force his way into the lineup on a consistent basis.

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).
