Olson (eye) will start at first base and bat cleanup Sunday against the Orioles.

Manager Bob Melvin said a day earlier that Olson would likely remain out through the weekend due to an eye contusion, but the 27-year-old's vision has apparently improved enough for him to check back into the lineup for the series finale. With Olson back in action after missing the previous three games, Seth Brown will move back into a reserve role.

Dalbec is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Marwin Gonzalez will man first base while Dalbec heads to the bench following eight consecutive starts. Dalbec had gone hitless in 14 at-bats over the last four of those contests, dropping his season average to .200.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Kansas City is giving catcher Salvador Perez a day off from duties behind the plate but keeping his bat in the lineup as the designated hitter, so O'Hearn will head to the bench to make room for him. Since his April 23 call-up, O'Hearn has emerged as Kansas City's primary DH against right-handed pitching. Over five games, O'Hearn has gone 3-for-18 with two solo home runs and three walks.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Yoshi Tsutsugo will fill in at first base for Diaz, who has fallen into a 5-for-35 slump over his past 11 games. Meanwhile, Tsutsugo is slashing .164/.233/.209 on the season, so he wouldn't appear to be a serious threat to unseat Diaz for an everyday role at this point.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's 8-6 win over Boston.

Lowe delivered a two-out, two-run single in the third inning, upping his RBI total to 24, second in MLB. He's been money with runners in scoring position, batting .462 (12-for-26) in those situations. He is also hitting .395 with two outs in an inning.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and a strikeout as Cleveland fell 7-3 to Chicago on Saturday.

Naylor doubled and scored in the fourth in what was Cleveland's best inning, and he later singled in the sixth. He is one of only three Cleveland regulars batting over .215 on the season.

Kirilloff went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strikeouts as Minnesota fell 11-3 to Kansas City on Saturday.

Kirilloff followed up Friday night's two-homer performance with a solo shot in the seventh to get Minnesota on the board. The Twins' top prospect played first base and may receive more time there with Miguel Sano on the IL.

Santana went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs, an RBI and a strikeout in Saturday's 11-3 win over Minnesota.

Santana reached base and scored in each of his first two at-bats and singled in the ninth to round out a solid all-around game. He remains a much stronger option in OBP formats and points leagues due to his on-base abilities.

O'Hearn went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in an 11-3 rout of Minnesota on Saturday.

Since being recalled from the alternate training site O'Hearn has started on a part-time basis, batting 3-for-18 with two home runs. He's always been a power bat and with regular appearances O'Hearn could sustain value in deeper leagues.

Manager Bob Melvin said Saturday that he would "doubt" Olson (eye) returns to the lineup Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Olson has already been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against Baltimore, but he was able to take some groundballs and take some swings in the cage prior to the game. If Olson is held out Sunday, Seth Brown or Mitch Moreland could fill in at first base once again.
