White is not starting Thursday against the Angels, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

White will retreat to the bench for the first time this season while Jose Marmolejos gets the start at first base in his place. The 24-year-old White is 4-for-24 with a home run and three RBI through six games.

Tellez was ejected during the 10th inning of Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

The 25-year-old struck out looking to begin the frame and was presumably unhappy about the call, so his night was finished a bit earlier than his teammates. Tellez went 1-for-4 with a strikeout as the designated hitter before being tossed.

Voit is not starting Wednesday against the Orioles.

Voit started each of the Yankees' first three games, going 1-for-10 with a solo homer and five strikeouts. Mike Ford will make his first start of the year as the first baseman in Voit's absence.

O'Hearn will not start Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

O'Hearn missed the Royals' first series of the season as his preseason preparation was delayed by a positive COVID-19 test, but he was in the lineup for the first two games of this week, going 2-for-7 with a pair of RBI. He'll get the day off Wednesday, with Ryan McBroom starting at first base.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Rockies on Tuesday.

Olson provided the struggling Athletics offense with one of only two multi-hit efforts on the night. The slugging first baseman snapped a three-game hitless streak with Tuesday's effort, with his brief skid coming after he slugged a game-winning grand slam in extra innings Opening Night against the Angels.

Guerrero went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

The blast to left-center field was Guerrero's first homer since last August, but it very nearly wasn't -- Victor Robles got his glove on it at the top of the wall but then collided with Emilio Bonifacio, and lost both ball and glove over the fence. Guerrero has gone 5-for-21 (.238) through five games to begin the season, but Tuesday's good fortune might have been just what the 21-year-old needed to get into a groove.

Santana went 4-for-6 with two walks, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Santana reached reached base in all four of his plate appearances in the opening contest of the doubleheader. He followed that up by clubbing a two-run home run in the second game. It was Santana's first long ball of the season, though he has reached base safely in all five games to this point.

Abreu went 4-for-9 with two doubles, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored during Tuesday's doubleheader at Cleveland.

Abreu went 1-for-5 in the opening contest, with a double being his only notable contribution. However, he bounced back to record a solo home run -- which came against Adam Plutko -- and another double in the second game. While it was his first long ball of the season, Abreu has managed to record at least one hit in four of the team's first five games this season.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 14-6 win over Detroit.

O'Hearn made his season debut after being activated off the COVID-19 injury list prior to Monday's contest and quickly made an impact at the plate; his two-run single in the fifth inning proved to be the go-ahead knock. The 26-year-old should be the Royals' everyday first baseman as he looks to improve on his .195/.281/.369 slash line from 2019.

White went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and three strikeouts in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Astros.

White took Astros starter Josh James deep in the third inning to spot the Mariners to a short-lived 3-0 lead. White has been boom or bust so far in 2020, with nine strikeouts in 18 plate appearances. The 24-year-old has still seen all the starts at first base and appears to be the favorite for playing time at that position.
