Gurriel is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game at Seattle, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gurriel split starts between first and third base over the last 12 games, but he will head to the bench after slashing .224/.235/.286 in that stretch. Tyler White will start at first base and bat fifth with Mike Leake taking the mound for the Mariners.

Tellez is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees.

After missing a pair of games over the weekend due to a minor hamstring issue, Tellez returned for Tuesday's series opener and went 1-for-4. The 24-year-old will head back to the bench Wednesday as the Blue Jays look to ease him back into action, with Vladimir Guerrero getting the nod at DH in his place.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox.

O'Hearn will stick on the bench for a second straight game with the Red Sox trotting out another lefty starter in Chris Sale. Cheslor Cuthbert will once again start at first base in place of O'Hearn, with Kelvin Gutierrez getting the nod at third base.

Cabrera went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 12-11 loss to the Orioles.

Cabrera had been floundering, hitting just .217 as recently as a week ago. However, he's put together a nice run since. Cabrera is now 10-for-24 (.417) with six RBI and five runs scored over the last seven games, raising his average to .244 in the process.

Cron isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Indians.

Cron will head to the bench after going 0-for-12 over his last three starts. Marwin Gonzalez gets the nod at first base and is hitting sixth with Cron out of the mix.

Tellez (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth Tuesday against the Yankees.

Tellez missed two consecutive contests due to hamstring soreness, but following a day off, he's back in action for the series opener. He's just 2-for-23 with seven strikeouts over his last eight games, so he'll aim to get back on track at the dish following a brief absence.

O'Hearn isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

O'Hearn will head to the bench with southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez slated to toe the rubber for Boston. Cheslor Cuthbert draws the start at first base and is batting sixth with O'Hearn out of the lineup.

Kirilloff was placed on the 7-day injured list Monday with an undisclosed injury, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

It remains to be seen how long the injury will keep Kirilloff sidelined at this point. Prior to landing on the shelf for the second time this season (he missed a month to open the year due to a minor wrist issue), the well-regarded prospect was hitting .268/.359/.402 with two homers and three stolen bases in 29 games for Double-A Pensacola.

Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI for Triple-A Norfolk in its 11-5 win over Louisville on Sunday.

Since returning to the Norfolk lineup Friday, Mountcastle has shown no ill effects of the left wrist injury that sidelined him for a week. In his first three games back, Mountcastle has gone yard four times, propping up his season batting line to a robust .328/.351/.578 in 46 contests. The Orioles want the 22-year-old to show more polish at third base and potentially take some reps in the outfield before promoting him, but Mountcastle should make his big-league debut at some point this summer.

Diaz (hand) went 0-for-3 with two walks in a loss to the Twins on Sunday.

Diaz was making his return from an injured-list stint and was able to reach safely twice. The infielder is in the midst of a modest funk that predates his injury, as he's now 2-for-19 in the last five games in which he's registered any official at-bats.
