Cabrera went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts before getting ejected from Thursday's game against the Indians for arguing balls and strikes.

Things didn't go Cabrera's way at the dish through his first three plate appearances, and he'd finally had enough after striking out for the third time. He's just 2-for-17 with a home run and two RBI over his last five games, but he'll look to regroup after blowing off some steam Thursday.

Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a home run, double, two RBI and an additional run Wednesday in the Rangers' 10-4 loss to the Indians.

The home run was Cabrera's 11th of the season, all of which have come at Globe Life Park in Arlington. He'll be in the lineup as the cleanup hitter for Thursday's series finale and should make for a quality fantasy option through the weekend with three more home games on tap against a shaky White Sox pitching staff.

Tellez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI Wednesday against the Angels.

Tellez hit his 12th and 13th homers of the season, with the highlight coming on a three-run shot off Andrew Heaney in the second frame. He's gotten regular starts for the team despite a .220/.266/.444 line through 229 plate appearances, and his playing time should remain safe with Justin Smoak (quadriceps) on the injured list. Tellez has swung the bat a bit better of late, homering three times in his past eight games.

Dixon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-7 loss to the Pirates.

Dixon smacked his eighth home run of the season as part of a five-run third inning. The 27-year-old continues to excel, though his .352 BABIP coming into Wednesday suggests that his current .277 batting average could regress.

Voit went 3-for-3 with a double, walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rays.

Voit is riding a five-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 8-for-16 with a 6:4 BB:K. The 28-year-old has gone from battling for a full-time role in spring training to becoming perhaps the Yankees' most valuable hitter over the first three-plus months of the campaign. He'll head into Wednesday's series finale with a .393 on-base percentage, which ranks 13th among all qualified hitters on the season.

The Rays placed Diaz (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Diaz had shown limited improvement in his recovery from a right hamstring injury since he last played Sunday, prompting the Rays to shut him down for at least another week. According to Tolentino, the third baseman will stay with the team to rehab, and the hope is that he'll be ready to return next week in Minnesota after a minimum stay on the shelf. Tampa Bay recalled Daniel Robertson from Triple-A Durham to restore some depth in the infield, but Joey Wendle appears to be the likelier candidate to assume Diaz's spot in the everyday lineup.

Diaz isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Yankees due to a hamstring issue, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays are holding Diaz out for the second straight day as a precaution, and they're optimistic that he won't require a trip to the injured list. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Diaz isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Diaz will get his second consecutive day off, making way for Joey Wendle to draw the start at the hot corner.

Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs and a walk in Monday's win against the Blue Jays.

In Justin Upton's (toe) first game back from the 60-day injured list, Calhoun showed his worth in the Angels' crowded outfield with a homer of his own, his 15th of the season. The 31-year-old has been a reliable option in Upton's absence, carrying a slash line of .235/.327/.482 with 37 RBI, but Upton's return means that Calhoun will likely split time with Brian Goodwin in right field going forward. Goodwin carries a higher batting average of .289, but has only six home runs and 24 RBI, meaning that Calhoun could be the slight favorite for playing time.

Diaz is not in the lineup Monday against the Yankees, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Diaz has started 15 consecutive games since returning from the injured list June 2, slashing .361/.426/.508 with two homers, nine RBI and a 7:9 BB:K during that stretch. Joey Wendle is starting at the hot corner and hitting eighth in place of Diaz in this one.
