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.

Voit is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Voit will rest after starting in each of the Yankees' last six games and going 8-for-23 with a home run, double, two walks, five RBI and five runs. Mike Ford will replace Voit as the Yankees' first baseman, while Clint Frazier gets a start as the team's designated hitter.

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

Diaz played all nine innings of Saturday's suspended game that was resumed earlier Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored. He'll just be getting a breather for the series finale as Joey Wendle gets a turn at third base.

Gurriel went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Mariners.

Gurriel lifted a solo shot to center field in the fourth inning for what ultimately proved to be the winning margin in the contest. The long ball was Gurriel's second in as many days and his fifth overall this season. With Saturday's two-hit performance, Gurriel has now logged multiple hits in four of his last seven games.

White went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to Houston on Saturday.

White started at first base and batted out of the eighth spot in the contest. He plated Seattle's only run of the game with a solo home run to center field in the eighth inning. The blast was the second of his career and first since July 27. Of White's nine hits this season, five have gone for extra bases (two home runs, three doubles).

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's victory over San Francisco.

Olson's lone hit of the night was a solo shot to center field in the sixth inning to tie the score 3-3. The 26-year-old has hit a solo home run in each of his last three games and is now up to eight long balls on the season, tied for fourth in baseball.

Cron (knee) will have season-ending surgery, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Cron suffered a sprained left knee in Monday's game against the White Sox and was hoping to avoid surgery until the offseason, but manager Ron Gardenhire said Saturday that the first baseman will sit out the rest of the schedule. The 30-year-old will hit free agency during the offseason. Jeimer Candelario should step in as the primary first baseman with Willi Castro seeing a potential uptick in playing time at third base.

Tellez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a second run scored in Friday's win over the Rays.

Sahlen Field in Buffalo is suddenly playing like a bandbox, with the Jays clubbing 13 homers over their last two games, and Tellez has two of them. The 25-year-old still has a mediocre .227/.300/.500 slash line with three home runs and nine RBI in 12 games, but if Tellez keeps slugging, manager Charlie Montoyo may have little choice but to give him more consistent playing time.

O'Hearn isn't in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Since returning from a shin injury Tuesday, O'Hearn has gone 2-for-8 with a double, two RBI and two strikeouts. Ryan McBroom will take over at first base in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Friday's 11-1 win over the Mariners.

Gurriel went deep back-to-back with Yordan Alvarez in the middle of a nine-run first inning for the Astros. In the second, Gurriel laced a triple to right field and scored on a Carlos Correa groundout. Through 19 games, Gurriel has four homers, eight RBI, 12 runs scored and a .267 batting average.
