Vaughn is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader at Boston.

Vaughn is 4-for-25 with 10 strikeouts to open the season and will take a seat for Sunday's matinee. Jake Lamb will receive the start in left field for the White Sox in Game 1.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

Naylor has a .255/.286/.340 slash line through 13 games and will take a seat Sunday with lefty Wade Miley starting for the Reds. Franmil Reyes will start in right field since Cleveland won't have a designated hitter in a National League park.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Red Sox.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa switched Abreu (fourth) and Yoan Moncada (third) in the batting order from the spots they held all season, and the move paid off immediately. After Adam Eaton and Moncada walked in the first inning, Abreu plated Eaton with a double and Moncada came in on a groundout. Abreu had gone seven consecutive games without a run batted in.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Tigers.

Olson got the Athletics on the board with a 438-foot shot to right field in the first inning -- one of three long balls Oakland hit off Detroit starter Casey Mize. He is tied for the team lead with three home runs and has also knocked in eight runs. Olson has gone 8-for-20 with all three of his homers over his past six games.

Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals.

He walked and scored another run in the nightcap, but it was his sixth-inning blast off Mike Minor that was the highlight of Guerrero's day. The 22-year-old appears headed for his long-awaited breakout campaign, and through 15 games he's slashing a dazzling .412/.524/.706 with four homers and 11 RBI.

France went 2-for-4 with a game-winning RBI single, a double and a run in a victory over the Astros on Friday.

France's latest timely hit snapped a 5-5 tie in the bottom of the ninth inning and plated J.P. Crawford with the winning run. The 26-year-old is up to an impressive .288/.387/.462 slash when factoring in Friday's production, and he's reached safely in five of his last six contests.

Dalbec isn't starting Saturday's game against the White Sox, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Dalbec went 1-for-6 with a run and four strikeouts in the past two games. Marwin Gonzalez will start at first base Saturday, batting sixth.

Naylor went 3-for-4 with a double and two singles in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Reds.

Naylor was effective at the plate, but he couldn't drive in any runs or score in the contest. The right fielder/first baseman is slashing .273/.289/.364 with no homers, no RBI, three runs scored and no stolen bases in 12 games. He's likely to see most of the playing time in right field, although Franmil Reyes or Jordan Luplow are also in the mix at the position.

Tellez isn't starting Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against Kansas City.

Tellez had recorded hits in each of the last four games and went 6-for-16 with a home run, three runs and two RBI during that time. However, Alejandro Kirk will serve as the designated hitter for Saturday's matinee, batting sixth.

White went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a victory over Houston on Friday.

White's first long ball of the season was a big one, as it tied the game in the bottom of the eighth. Seattle then went on to win the contest in the ninth inning on a Ty France single. White has struggled with a .194/.265/.355 slash line this season, but he'll look to build upon his big hit Friday going forward.
