Wade left Saturday's game against the Rangers with a dislocated right thumb, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Wade suffered the injury while attempting to catch a home run. It's not clear how much time he's expected to miss.

Cron had been dealing with his thumb injury well prior to being placed on the injured list Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Speaking to the media Saturday, manager Rocco Baldelli described Cron's injury as more than just typical soreness and stated that the injury had been affecting Cron's swing. While the team is optimistic that he can make "significant progress" in the 10 days he will remain out of action, Baldelli also cautioned that the injury could linger.

Voit (abdomen) remains optimistic that he can rejoin the lineup to begin the team's first series after the All-Star break, Coley Harvey of ESPN.comreports.

Voit was placed on the injured list Tuesday but has maintained that his absence will be brief. Based on comments from both himself and the team, it appears realistic that he could return for the Yankees' series against the Blue Jays on Friday.

Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in a 5-4 win over the Astros on Friday.

Calhoun launched a first-pitch fastball into the seats to take the lead off of Astros ace Justin Verlander in the third inning and followed that up with a double in the fifth. The 31-year-old's success against the Cy Young frontrunner wasn't expected, as the right fielder entered the contest just 5-for-43 with 23 strikeouts in his career against Verlander. Calhoun has nine hits, seven RBI and two home runs in his last 23 at-bats during what may be his best five-game stretch of the season so far. He now owns a respectable .255 batting average, with 11 home runs and 31 RBI against right-handed pitching this year. In what has been the most productive first half to a season in his career, Calhoun will look to build on his .238 batting average, 19 home runs, 51 runs and 47 RBI as the Angels battle for a playoff spot during the second half.

Wade will start in left field and bat sixth Saturday against the Rangers.

Wade was recalled from Triple-A Rochester prior to Saturday's game to take the place of the injured C.J. Cron (thumb), who landed on the injured list. He'll immediately enter the starting lineup, but is unlikely to see an everyday role given the presence of Luis Arraez and Marwin Gonzalez.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-innings loss to the Yankees on Friday.

Lowe answered a first-inning Aaron Judge solo blast with one of his own in the fourth, marking his first time leaving the yard in the majors. The rookie just returned to the Rays on Thursday in the wake of injuries to Brandon Lowe (lower leg) and Ji-Man Choi (ankle), and Friday marked his first start after entering Thursday's contest as a pinch hitter.

Wade was recalled by the Twins on Saturday.

Wade will replaced C.J. Cron (thumb) on the 25-man roster. He was briefly called up to the big-league club in late June but had only two plate appearances prior to being sent back down to Triple-A Rochester. On the season, Wade is hitting .246/.392/.356 with seven stolen bases at Rochester.

Cron (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

The Twins announced that Cron is dealing with right thumb inflammation. He had been in a deep slump at the dish since his last home run June 22, hitting just .156/.191/.200 across 47 plate appearances. There is no timetable on his return.

Dixon went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Friday's 9-6 loss to the Red Sox.

Dixon sat out Thursday after a rough 0-for-9 performance across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader. He responded from the quick breather by posting his first multi-hit game since June 13. Dixon is now slashing .240/.269/.459 this season but just .103/.167/.256 over his past 10 games.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Angels.

The 35-year-old Cuban is one of the hottest hitters in baseball heading into the All-Star break. Over the course of a nine-game hitting streak, Gurriel is slashing .405/.436/1.054 with seven homers and 13 RBI -- accounting for more than half of his 12 long balls on the season.
