Santana went 2-for-5 with a home run, five RBI and one run scored Tuesday against the Pirates.

Santana drove in five of Cleveland's six runs Tuesday. He delivered a two-RBI single in the third inning, but came through with the decisive runs on a three-run homer in the 10th frame. He now has two long balls on the season, with this being his first since July 28. After his big performance, Santana has a .194/.414/.306 line to go along with 12 runs scored and nine RBI across 99 plate appearances this season.

Tellez (head) will not start Tuesday's game against Baltimore.

Tellez entered the concussion protocol after getting hit in the head at first base Monday. Randal Grichuk will serve as the designated hitter Tuesday, with Anthony Alford taking Grichuk's usual spot in center field.

White went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 11-9 loss to the Dodgers.

White took Dodgers starter Ross Stripling deep in the third inning for a two-run blast. In the eighth inning, White tried to get the Mariners on the comeback trail with a solo shot, but that would be the last run of the game. The first baseman now has four homers, nine RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base while batting .139 through 23 games.

Voit went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 win over the Red Sox.

Voit evidently saw the ball well at the dish Monday evening, launching a two-run blast in the second and a solo shot in the fifth, marking his sixth and seventh long balls of the year. The 29-year-old first baseman is slashing .281/.343/.625 with eight extra-base hits and 15 RBI in 18 contests this season.

Tellez left Monday's game against the Orioles after being hit in the head at first base, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Tellez has entered concussion protocol and is being considered day-to-day by the Blue Jays. Brandon Drury could see additional at-bats at DH if Tellez is forced to miss substantial time.

Casas joined the Red Sox's player pool Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Casas is an interesting prospect, but he's highly unlikely to help the Red Sox this season, as he's played just two games above Low-A. Still, getting the chance to work with the team's coaching staff will be important for the 2018 first-round pick's development this season. In 118 games at Low-A Greenville last year, Casas hit .254/.349/.472 with 19 homers.

O'Hearn is not starting Monday against Minnesota.

O'Hearn sits with lefty Devin Smeltzer expected to follow right-handed opener Matt Wisler. Ryan McBroom starts at first base in his absence.

White went 0-for-2 with a walk, a hit by pitch, a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Astros on Sunday. He was also caught stealing on another attempt.

The rookie's .202 on-base percentage speaks to how infrequently he's been able to reach safely thus far this season, so manager Scott Servais apparently decided to turn White loose in what was only his third game with multiple appearances on the base paths. White saw his second two-game hitting streak of the season snapped Sunday, but he's now reached safely in three consecutive contests for the first time in 2020.

Olson went 3-for-5 with three runs scored in Sunday's 15-3 win over San Francisco.

Prior to Sunday, Olson's last seven hits were all home runs, so his three-single day was certainly uncharacteristic. Thanks to his eight home runs this season, the 26-year-old owns an .808 OPS despite an unsightly .185 average.

Abreu went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Sunday against the Cardinals.

Abreu was the third hitter in a row to go yard in the fifth inning for the White Sox, as he took Roel Ramirez deep. It was Abreu's fourth home run of the season, and first since a mild hip injury that he suffered Monday. For the season, Abreu has managed a .250/.298/.443 line across 94 plate appearances.
