Gurriel went 1-for-4 and delivered a walkoff RBI double to lift the Astros over the Mariners on Saturday. He's also dealing with an ankle injury and won't be in the lineup Sunday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Manager AJ Hinch said Gurriel was "basically operating on one leg" when he hit the game-winning double, but he nonetheless insisted on remaining in the game. It's the second straight walkoff for the 35-year-old after he hit a 10th-inning homer Friday. Gurriel will have some additional time to recover thanks to Monday's scheduled off day.

Voit was removed from Saturday's game versus the Red Sox with tightness in the left side of his abdomen, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Voit suffered the injury while rounding first base when stretching a single into a double, though it initially appeared to be a hamstring issue. The 28-year-old said he hopes to avoid the injured list, and the team will decide whether an MRI is necessary depending on how he feels Sunday. Edwin Encarnacion and DJ LeMahieu would be the likely options to fill in at first base should Voit be forced to miss time. According to Erik Boland of Newsday, manager Aaron Boone indicated it's unlikely Voit will be in the lineup Sunday, though he wouldn't rule out using him off the bench, which bodes well for Voit's prognosis.

Voit exited Saturday's game against the Red Sox in the fifth inning with a lower-body injury -- likely to his hamstring -- that he suffered while rounding first base while legging out a double, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

It looked like the type of injury that could lead to a stint on the injured list, especially with the All-Star break right around the corner and the Yankees holding a comfortable lead in the AL East. If Voit misses time, Edwin Encarnacion and DJ LeMahieu would be options to start at first base, which would lead to more starts for Gio Urshela.

White was named to the 2019 All-Star Futures Game on Friday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

The promising first baseman just saw his 23-game hitting streak snapped Friday against Tulsa, but the invite to the July 7 game underscores how strong a campaign he's enjoyed overall at Double-A Arkansas. White is slashing .296/.357/.476 with 17 extra-base hits (six doubles, two triples, nine home runs) and 27 RBI across 52 games in his first season at his current level. White is one of three Mariners prospects selected to represent the organization, with Jarred Kelenic and Justin Dunn also set to join him.

Tellez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

That's now two straight absences for Tellez following Justin Smoak's return from the injured list -- one against a lefty (Danny Duffy) and now this one against a righty (Homer Bailey). Tellez has 14 homers this season but has graded out as below average by wRC+ (88) and in fact has a negative fWAR through 255 plate appearances. He could find himself back in the minors before long.

Diaz, who went 0-for-4 in a loss to the Rangers on Friday, is 0-for-11 with an RBI in his first two games since returning from a hamstring injury.

Diaz was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Thursday's game against the Twins and immediately gave his hamstring quite the test by playing all 18 innings of the marathon win. However, the infielder is apparently still trying to get his timing at the plate back after missing nine contests, and he'll look to return to the excellent form he was displaying prior to his injury when the Rays take the field against the Rangers again Saturday.

Wade was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

He was able to make his big-league debut Friday, but it was a very brief stay, as Byron Buxton's activation pushed Wade back to the minors. The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting .248/.393/.366 with five home runs and six steals in 70 games with Rochester.

Olson went 3-for-3 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Angels.

Olson went yard in his first two plate appearances of the game, knocking a two-run homer off Angels opener Noe Ramirez in the first inning before blasting a three-run shot off Felix Pena in the third inning. Olson has hit five homers in his last seven games, batting .400 (10-for-25) during the recent power surge. He's up to 16 homers, 32 RBI and 28 runs scored in 49 games this season.

Gurriel went 1-for-5 with a walk-off solo home run in a 2-1 10-inning victory against the Mariners on Friday.

The 1-for-5 night wasn't great for the average or on-base percentage, but Gurriel has hits in each of his last five games, and during that stretch, he's gone deep three times. Those three homers match the amount of times he went deep in May. Gurriel is batting .267 with eight home runs, 36 RBI, 39 runs and three steals in 303 at-bats this season.

Wade will start in right field and bat ninth in Friday's game against the White Sox.

Wade was called up from Triple-A Rochester on Thursday and only had to wait one day before making his way into the lineup. The 25-year-old could see some opportunities with Eddie Rosario (ankle) landing on the injured list, but he seems unlikely to simply slide immediately into an everyday role.
