Voit went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Blue Jays.

His fourth-inning blast, one of a club-record five the Yankees launched in the fourth inning, was Voit's fourth in the last three days and his league-leading 20th of the year. The power surge has boosted his slash line to .283/.342/.659, and the 29-year-old is now up to 46 RBI through 46 games.

Abreu went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two RBI in Thursday's victory over the Twins.

Abreu slugged a solo homer to center during the fourth inning, and he beat out an infield single to drive in a run in the seventh, tying the game at three. Abreu has homered in back-to-back contests and is currently enjoying a six-game hitting streak.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Twins.

Abreu's fourth-inning homer was one of just two hits the White Sox had in the game. It was his 16th home run of the season, to go with 49 RBI, 37 runs scored and an excellent .327/.367/.629 slash line in 49 contests.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Voit has been a tremendous source of power all season, but he now has three home runs across the first two games of the team's series against Toronto. He came to the plate with runners on first and second in the sixth inning and slugged his 19th long ball of the campaign over the left field wall. Overall, Voit has a stellar .280/.341/.643 line with 45 RBI and 35 runs scored across 185 plate appearances.

Naylor is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

Naylor will once again head to the bench with southpaw Jon Lester taking the mound for Chicago. Oscar Mercado will work in left field Wednesday for Cleveland.

Diaz played catch Wednesday, but manager Kevin Cash acknowledged the corner infielder has been slow to progress from his strained right hamstring, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

While it's encouraging that Diaz was at least able to get in some on-field activity, his return from the 10-day injured list shouldn't be considered imminent until he's able to run the bases without any discomfort. With Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) recently joining Diaz on the IL, the Rays will rely on Nate Lowe, Joey Wendle and Mike Brosseau to pick up more work at either first or third base.

Lowe is starting at first base and batting cleanup Wednesday against the Nationals, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Lowe had hit sixth or seventh in four straight starts, but after hitting .429 with three home runs over that stretch, the Rays will bump him up a couple spots in the lineup. He should continue to hit in a run-producing spot over the rest of the season with Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) likely done for the year.

Voit went 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's 20-6 rout of the Blue Jays.

The 29-year-old just won't stop slugging. Voit has two two-homer performances in the last five days, and his 18 long balls puts him two ahead of Mike Trout and Nelson Cruz for the major-league lead. On the season, Voit is slashing .280/.343/.634 with 42 RBI -- fourth in the league -- through 44 games.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 20-6 loss to the Yankees.

The 21-year-old was dialed in, collecting hits on the first pitch in each of his first three at-bats before the Yankees were finally able to retire him in the eighth inning. Guerrero is slashing .251/.328/.440 through 47 games with seven homers and 24 RBI, as he continues to struggle to find his minor-league form.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Nationals.

His second-inning solo shot off Anibal Sanchez got the Rays on the board. Lowe has started four straight games, going 6-for-14 with all three of his homers on the year, and he should be a consistent presence in the Rays' lineup over the final days of the regular season.
