Gurriel is not in the lineup Friday against the Rays, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

The 36-year-old started the first 25 games of the season at first base for the Astros, and he'll receive a well-earned day off after posting a .999 OPS with four homers, seven doubles, 16 RBI and 11 runs. Aledmys Diaz will take over at first base in place of Gurriel on Friday.

White was placed on the bereavement list Friday.

White will likely miss at least the weekend series against the Angels while on the list. Jacob Nottingham was added to the roster in a corresponding move.

Vaughn started in left field for both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers. He was a combined 3-for-6 with two doubles, a walk and three runs scored in Chicago's sweep.

Vaughn's average has steadily climbed after opening the season with three hits in his first 22 at-bats (.136). Since then, the rookie's reached base safely in seven straight with hits in six of them, going 9-for-22 and pushing his average to .273. Eventually, the White Sox hope to see Vaughn display more power. He has just one RBI over 15 games for a team that ranks second in MLB with 5.16 runs per game.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI in Thursday's win over Tigers in the second leg of the doubleheader.

The right-handed hitter provided the White Sox with more of a cushion following his single to knock in two off Michael Fulmer in the fourth inning. The reigning MVP is now slashing .222/.308/.411 in 2021.

Olson underwent an X-ray on his eye Wednesday that revealed no broken bones, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Olson suffered an eye injury during batting practice prior to Thursday's game against the Rays and was scratched from the lineup as a result. However, he was diagnosed with a bruise after his X-ray. It appears as though Olson has avoided a major injury, although it's not yet clear whether he could return for Friday's series opener against Baltimore.

Olson isn't in Thursday's lineup against the Rays due to an eye injury, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Olson was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup, and manager Bob Melvin revealed that the first baseman hit a ball in batting practice that ricocheted off his eye. He'll have an X-ray, the results of which should give us a better idea of his prognosis.

Olson was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays for undisclosed reasons.

Whether Olson is dealing with something that will require an extended absence remains to be seen. Mitch Moreland will enter the lineup as his replacement, batting sixth and playing first base.

Voit (knee) will take live at-bats at the Yankees' alternate training site Thursday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Voit has been participating in defensive drills and running outside recently, and he'll now face live pitching for the first time since undergoing knee surgery in late March. The 30-year-old appears to be trending in the right direction, but it's not yet clear when he'll return to game action.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Tampa Bay will go with Joey Wendle and Mike Brosseau as its corner infielders while Diaz takes a seat in the series finale. Diaz had started each of the past seven games, going 5-for-23 while drawing six walks.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Pirates.

Santana walked and scored on a Jorge Soler double in the first inning. In the fourth, Santana got aboard with a single and scored on a Soler single to extend the Royals' lead to 6-0. Santana's third run came in the sixth inning after he reached on an error. The first baseman has five home runs, 19 RBI, 13 runs scored, a stolen base and a .244/.364/.476 slash line through 23 games.
