O'Hearn isn't starting Saturday's game against the White Sox.

O'Hearn will be out of the lineup for a second straight game after he went hitless with a walk and four strikeouts in his last four at-bats. Salvador Perez will serve as the designated hitter while Sebastian Rivero starts behind the plate.

Kirilloff (wrist) is scheduled to take swings in the next few days, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Kirilloff received a cortisone injection after a visit with a specialist Friday, and he could return to game action in the near future if he's able to swing the bat well. However, manager Rocco Baldelli said that Kirilloff could require surgery if his swinging doesn't go as anticipated. Kirilloff's status going forward could be determined soon and will be highly dependent on how his wrist feels after he takes swings.

Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Voit (knee) is expected to be reinstated from the injured list early next week, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Voit began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday and has gone 4-for-9 with a home run, a double, two RBI, two runs and two walks in three games. The 30-year-old could play a few more games at the Triple-A level but will likely be able to make his season debut during the Yankees' upcoming series in Tampa Bay.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

Lowe launched his seventh homer in the third inning, a 451-foot shot to center field, the longest by a Rangers hitter in the short existence of Globe Life Field. He's hit safely in 12 of the last 14 games (17-for-54, .854 OPS) and leads the team with 25 RBI.

Mountcastle went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Mountcastle had little trouble getting on base Friday, and he blasted his second home run of the season to lead off the sixth inning. In his last five games, Mountcastle has gone 6-for-19 with a solo home run, a double and three runs.

Dalbec went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer, a second run scored and a walk in Friday's 6-2 win over the Orioles.

Dalbec had gone hitless with 11 strikeouts in his last 25 at-bats, but he broke the game open with a three-run shot with two outs in the fourth inning Friday. The 25-year-old is now hitting .191 with two home runs, nine RBI and five runs this year.

Gurriel went 4-for-4 with a homer, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Gurriel launched a two-run shot in the fifth inning and later drove in runs in the seventh and eighth to extend Houston's lead. It was his first homer since April 25, giving him five on the season with 24 RBI. The 36-year-old is slashing .342/.420/.553 through 131 plate appearances.

Kirilloff (wrist) received a cortisone injection following a visit with a specialist Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said that Kirilloff received a "pretty specific diagnosis" from the specialist, though exactly what that diagnosis is remains unclear. Kiriloff's return timeline should become clearer once the Twins see whether or not the shot has the desired effect.

Tellez was called up to the big-league roster Friday. He is starting at designated hitter and batting fifth against the Astros.

The first baseman and designated hitter takes the roster spot of Joe Panik (calf), who was placed on the injured list. Tellez was on the roster from Opening Day until April 27 and contributed little offensively, but he did have one five-game stretch with eight hits. He hit .300 with one home run, three walks and three strikeouts in three games with Triple-A Buffalo.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup Friday against the White Sox.

O'Hearn will head to the bench Friday with lefty Carlos Rodon starting for Chicago. Jorge Soler will serve as the designated hitter while Hunter Dozier moves to right field for Kansas City.
