Voit was diagnosed with a sports hernia after undergoing an MRI and was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

Per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, manager Aaron Boone said Voit could require surgery to address the core-muscle injury, which would likely keep the first baseman on the shelf for around six weeks. The Yankees will make a call on surgery within the next 24-to-48 hours, so Voit's fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on the situation heading into the weekend. If Voit is in fact shelved until around mid-September, it could be tough to justify holding him in single-season formats. Edwin Encarnacion will likely fill in for Voit as the team's everyday first baseman, with DJ LeMahieu (groin) and Gio Urshela representing alternative options if the Yankees prefer to deploy Encarnacion as their designated hitter.

Guerrero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Guerrero will bow out of the starting nine for just the second time since the All-Star break while Brandon Drury checks in as the Blue Jays' third baseman. After slugging a grand slam and plating an additional run in Tuesday's 9-2 win, Guerrero has now gone 8-for-20 with four extra-base hits and 12 RBI over his past four games.

Voit (abdomen) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The Yankees have yet to release the results of the MRI that Voit underwent after exiting Tuesday's 4-2 loss in the series opener due to a core-muscle injury. Given that Voit was previously sidelined earlier this month with an abdominal strain, the fact that he may be dealing with a related injury makes another stint on the 10-day injured list a strong possibility for the 28-year-old. While Voit is still listed on the Yankees' lineup card for Wednesday, the fact that reliever Jonathan Holder came up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as a member of the taxi squad fuels speculation that an IL move may be coming, per Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News.

Vaughn was promoted to High-A Winston-Salem on Wednesday.

It is not surprising to see Vaughn climb through three levels of the minors this quickly, although he is not the first player from the 2019 draft class to get to High-A -- Marlins prospect JJ Bleday began his pro career in the Florida State League. Vaughn hit .253/.388/.410 with two home runs and an 18:14 K:BB in 103 plate appearances at Low-A. He hasn't hit for quite as much power as expected early on against pro pitching, and High-A will provide a pretty fair test for the 21-year-old first baseman.

Olson went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and two RBI overall in a victory versus Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Olson plated Oakland's first run with a double in the third inning, then delivered his second career walkoff home run with a blast off Josh Hader in the 10th. The 25-year-old is slashing .260/.339/.549 with 22 homers and 47 RBI in 314 plate appearances this season.

Guerrero went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and five RBI to help the Blue Jays to a 9-2 victory over the Royals on Tuesday.

The talented rookie has been on an RBI binge, as he's now driven in 12 runs over his last four games after knocking in five of Toronto's nine runs in this contest. He got off to a slow start to his big-league career, but his hot hitting of late has boosted his slash line up to .261/.337/.430 to go along with 11 home runs and 43 RBI across 326 plate appearances.

Voit left Tuesday's game versus Arizona with a core muscle injury and will undergo an MRI, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

Voit was hit by a pitch on the elbow in his first plate appearance Tuesday, but his wincing during his next at-bat appears to have been the result of the core muscle issue. The 28-year-old had a brief stint on the injured list at the start of July due to an abdominal strain, but the specifics for the current injury won't be known until the MRI results are announced.

Voit was removed from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks with an apparent injury, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

Voit was hit by a breaking ball on the elbow during his first plate appearance and appeared to be wincing during his next at-bat, though the specifics regarding his exit remain unclear. Tyler Wade enters the lineup in his absence and is playing the hot corner, pushing Gio Urshela to first base.

Diaz (foot) has yet to resume baseball activities, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Diaz has been on the injured list for a week with a bruised left foot. He doesn't appear to be particularly close to returning to action in the eyes of Rays manager Kevin Cash, who Tuesday labeled Diaz as "a ways away" from returning, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. Matt Duffy has started every game at third base in his absence.

Cron (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Fort Myers on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cron has been sidelined for just over a week with right thumb inflammation. He's scheduled to play at least two games for Fort Myers but could be back in Minnesota soon after that.
