Abreu is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Abreu was involved in a scary collision with Hunter Dozier along the first base line Friday and exited the game, but he was right back in the lineup the next day and went 2-for-4 in both weekend games against the Royals. Given that he looked clearly healthy over the weekend, it appears as though his off day Monday is a routine one. Andrew Vaughn will start at first base in his absence, with Leury Garcia starting in left field.

Abreu went 2-for-4, was hit by a pitch and scored the winning run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Royals.

Abreu, standing on third with two out and the game knotted in the bottom of the ninth inning, took off for home after after a Wade Davis pitch bounced a few feet away from catcher Cam Gallagher. He was ruled safe, beating Gallagher's dive, which was upheld on review. It was an indication that Abreu is feeling no ill effects from Friday's nasty collision with Hunter Dozier.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs in Sunday's 10-8 win over the Phillies.

Guerrero has now clubbed home runs in each of his last three games, and he helped propel the Blue Jays to the narrow win Sunday. He's now slashing .319/.440/.609 with 11 home runs, 30 RBI and 29 runs this season.

Mountcastle went 2-for-4 with a double, four RBI and a run in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Yankees.

The Yankees put up four runs in the first inning Sunday, but Mountcastle responded by driving in two runs with a double in the bottom of the first before plating three more runs later in the comeback win. The 24-year-old is hitting .218 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 13 runs and three stolen bases this year.

Tellez left Sunday's win over the Phillies with a mild left hamstring strain, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Tellez hit a single to left field in Sunday's matchup but appeared to slip on home plate and was immediately removed from the game after he made it to first base. Manager Charlie Montoyo said that Tellez has a "good chance" of winding up on the injured list, but the team will presumably run further tests before making a final decision.

Voit went 2-for-4 with a run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-2 victory over Baltimore.

The first baseman collected his first hit of the season in the first inning, rapping a single to left field and later coming around to score. He singled again in the sixth inning, this time plating two runs with the base knock. Voit entered the contest having gone 0-for-10 through his first three games after missing nearly six weeks while recovering from left knee surgery.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

The 27-year-old started the scoring Saturday with a 420-foot, two-run blast to right-center field during the opening frame. Olson has a .260/.340/.528 slash line with nine home runs, seven doubles, 25 RBI and 19 runs through 35 games this season.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a home run in Saturday's loss against the Royals.

Abreu was involved in a nasty collision Friday but still got the start Saturday, and he responded by launching his eighth homer of the season -- off Mike Minor -- and hitting safely for the seventh time over his last eight contests. The slugging first baseman is hitting .333 with three homers and 14 RBI across 39 at-bats this month.

Santana went 2-for-3 with a home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Saturday's win over the White Sox. He also stole a base.

Santana launched his eighth homer of the season in the top of the ninth inning, taking Jose Ruiz deep. Santana has homered in back-to-back games for the second time in 2021 and also extended his RBI streak to four appearances.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the 4-0 win over the Phillies on Saturday.

Guerrero hit his 10th home run of the season off Aaron Nola in the first inning. This marks back-to-back games and three of the last five with a home run for Guerrero. The 22-year-old is off to a terrific start, leading the Blue Jays with a .308 average and 1.015 OPS. His 10 homers has him tied for fifth in the American League. In addition, he's drawn the fifth-most walks (27) in all of baseball.
