White (hip) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

White was closing in on being activated from the injured list but suffered a setback in his recovery when he had to exit his rehab outing with Triple-A Tacoma last Thursday. The move to the 60-day IL means the earliest White can be activated is the first game after the All-Star break against the Angels on July 16. Per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, White will receive a second opinion on his strained hip flexor in the coming days to get a better idea of a potential recovery timeline. Jake Hager was claimed off waivers and added to the 40-man roster in a corresponding transaction.

Lowe is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

Lowe has been a regular presence in the Rangers' lineup against both righties and left-handers this season, but he'll yield first base to the recently recalled Andy Ibanez against southpaw Cole Irvin on Tuesday.

O'Hearn is in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Yankees, batting fourth as the designated hitter.

O'Hearn was recalled Monday after Adalberto Mondesi landed on the injured list once again with an oblique injury. In a somewhat surprising decision, O'Hearn will immediately be inserted into the middle of Kansas City's lineup. O'Hearn struggled at the plate during his previous stint with the Royals this season, slashing an awful .189/.246/.377 across 53 at-bats before being sent back to Triple-A Omaha on May 28. He'll face a tough task Tuesday with the Yankees sending ace Gerrit Cole to the mound.

Voit (oblique) was activated off the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Voit has missed most of the year due to injuries, first with a meniscus tear in his knee and then with a strained oblique. He got into just 12 games between the two absences and hit a poor .182/.280/.250 in 50 trips to the plate, but he's looked great in rehab action, going 8-for-19 with a pair of homers.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-3 win over Oakland.

Lowe was part of the Rangers' five-run first inning, knocking in a run with a double and later scoring on Andy Ibanez's three-run home run. Lowe has hit safely in seven of eight contests, going 10-for-32 (.313) with three extra-base hits, five RBI and four runs scored in that span. The Rangers would ideally like more production from Lowe, who has just three homers, 16 RBI and a .660 OPS over the last 49 games, but they don't have many alternatives. That could be why manager Chris Woodward told Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News that Nick Solak, who was replaced at second base by Ibanez on Monday, will get at-bats at first base.

Kirilloff went 2-for-4 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 7-5 extra-innings win over the Reds.

The steal was his first in 39 big-league games -- not surprising for a player with a career high of seven (on 13 attempts) in the minors. Kirilloff has picked up his pace a bit at the plate in June, slashing .288/.354/.407 through 17 contests, but the 23-year-old hasn't yet met his lofty expectations.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 4-0 win over the Cubs.

Naylor's home run in the fifth inning was his sixth of the season and first of June. Entering Monday's game, the 24-year-old had just four extra-base hits and a .587 OPS in 15 games this month. He's slashing .255/.302/.395 through 235 plate appearances this season.

The Royals recalled O'Hearn from Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

Kansas City placed middle infielder Adalberto Mondesi (oblique) on the 10-day injured list to clear a spot for O'Hearn. So long as both Carlos Santana and Jorge Soler are healthy, O'Hearn likely won't have a clear path to regular at-bats at either first base or designated hitter, so he's expected to serve mostly as a lefty-hitting option off the bench during his time in Kansas City.

Dalbec went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Royals.

Dalbec recorded his fourth multi-hit effort in the last nine games and has hit safely in eight of those contests. During that stretch, he's 13-for-34 with six extra-base hits, eight RBI and six runs scored. He's worked on the timing of a leg kick, but Dalbec also choked up on the bat, per Jordan Horrobin of MLB.com. That has shortened his swing and improved his bat-to-ball timing. At a time when the slumping Dalbec was losing at-bats to Danny Santana, the young slugger has fended off the challenge.

France, whose wrist was briefly attended to by a trainer during Sunday's extra-inning win over the Rays, will get an MRI on Monday, the Associated Press reports. He finished Sunday's contest 1-for-3 with a solo home run.

France held his wrist after a swinging strikeout that ended the ninth inning, but he remained in the game for the top of the 10th before being removed for Taylor Trammell. France, who is hitting a blistering .433 over his last eight games, spent time on the injured list earlier in the season due to wrist inflammation, missing the minimum 10 days in that instance.
