Lowe will bat sixth and be the designated hitter Tuesday against Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe had been scheduled to see with lefty David Price in the mound. Due to Tommy Pham's lingering hand sprain, however, he'll be added to the lineup, batting sixth and serving as the designated hitter.

Lowe is not starting Tuesday against lefty David Price and the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays have generally kept Lowe on the bench against lefties. Travis d'Arnaud has emerged as his platoon partner at first base and will get the start in his absence.

White was scratched from Monday's lineup at Double-A Arkansas due to an unspecified injury, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

White won't take the field Monday evening, but per Drayer, the prospect is expected to be fine. He's been seeing the ball well at Double-A this season, slashing .291/.342/.484 with 13 homers and 42 RBI over 71 games.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

After being recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday, O'Hearn drew back-to-back starts at first base, going 1-for-8 with two RBI between the two contests. O'Hearn will take a seat Monday with the Blue Jays bringing a lefty pitcher (Thomas Pannone) to the hill, but he could handle a large-side platoon role until the Royals get Adalberto Mondesi (shoulder) back from the injured list. Though he plays in the middle infield, Mondesi's eventual return would likely create a domino effect that would make O'Hearn the odd man out in Kansas City's regular lineup versus righties.

Olson went 2-for-4 with an RBI infield single, a double, a walk and a run in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Olson had a busy day at the plate, and his ninth-inning infield single brought home Chris Herrmann to tie the game. The slugger snapped an 0-for-10 slump that had encompassed his prior three games with what was his fifth multi-hit effort of July. Thanks to a hot start to the month, Olson is still hitting a solid .274 since the calendar flipped despite the aforementioned three-game skid, leading to an eight-point boost in his season average to .255.

Lowe went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Lowe was a constant thorn in the side of Blue Jays pitching throughout the afternoon, and his second straight multi-hit effort pushed his season average back over the .300 mark. The rookie is making excellent use of his current major-league stint, as he's now hitting .327 (18-for-55) with four doubles, five home runs and 12 RBI since being called back up from Triple-A Durham on July 4.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a double, four RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Rays.

Guerrero delivered a big day at the dish, driving in a run with an RBI single in the third inning. He would later plate two more in the fifth with a single to right, and he finished off his day with an RBI double to left in the sixth. The 20-year-old closed out the weekend in an impressive fashion, registering seven RBI and three extra-base hits over his last two contests.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 9-6 loss to Kansas City.

Santana got Cleveland rolling early with his first-inning long ball but the team cooled off in a hurry after. It was a good sign after the switch-hitting slugger had been missing from the lineup for two games with some shoulder soreness. The 33-year-old is up to 22 home runs with 57 RBI and a career-high .926 OPS.

Santana (shoulder) will start at designated hitter and will bat third Sunday against the Royals.

Santana was withheld from action the previous two days due to left shoulder soreness, but the brief layoff was apparently all the veteran needed to overcome the issue. Since taking part in the Home Run Derby during the All-Star week festivities, Santana has gone just 10-for-52 (.192 average) with two long balls in 14 games.

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

AJ Reed will fill in for Abreu at first base in what amounts to a breather for the 32-year-old, according to Scot Gregor of the Chicago Daily Herald. Abreu had started each of the White Sox's first 102 games of the season, but the mounting workload has seemed to wear on him lately. Since the All-Star break, Abreu has reached base at a .235 clip while providing only two extra-base hits in 16 games.
