Tellez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

The Blue Jays wanted to keep budding star Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s bat in the lineup while giving him some time out of the field, so he'll slot in as the designated hitter in the series finale. That leaves no room in the lineup for Tellez, who will hit the bench after starting each of the past five days and going 5-for-20 with three home runs over that span.

Calhoun went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in a 3-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday.

His third-inning solo shot looked like it would be the only offense in the game until both teams scored twice in a wild ninth inning. Calhoun has done well in May, hitting .303 with three homers, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored in 19 games to partially offset a difficult start to the season. The right fielder has 10 homers and a .236 average over 48 games this year.

Cron went 2-for-3 with a two-run double in an 8-1 victory over the White Sox on Saturday.

Cron had another big day as the Twins won their fifth straight game, driving in four runs in his first two at-bats against Manny Banuelos. Since May 8, the 29-year-old is hitting .388 with seven homers, raising his batting average 72 points in the process. He's slashing .278/.344/.556 over 169 at-bats this season.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Twins.

His sixth-inning shot was the only offense the White Sox could generate against Kyle Gibson. Abreu is slashing .267/.320/.530 with 13 homers and 42 RBI this season.

Voit went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in the first game of a doubleheader against the Royals on Saturday.

Voit took Scott Barlow deep in the seventh inning to break a 3-3 tie in a blast measured at 470 feet. The 28-year-old is 16-for-39 over his last nine games to raise his slash line to .266/.376/.516 across 184 at-bats this season.

Raley needs surgery on a dislocated tendon in his left ankle, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Raley has been on the 7-day injured list with what had been termed an ankle strain, but the issue is apparently worse than that. Recovery from the procedure is expected to keep him out for a few months.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

With lefty J.A. Happ starting for the Yankees, O'Hearn will begin the twin bill on the bench. New York has not yet announced who will start Game 2, but it may be righty Chance Adams, in which case O'Hearn should be in Saturday evening's lineup.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a three-run home home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Mariners.

Olson now has five homers and a .250 average to go with eight RBI and 11 runs scored in 18 games. Olson missed about a month with a hand injury, but had returned to a mostly everyday role at first base. Over his last four games, he's gone 6-for-15 with two homers, two doubles, four RBI and four runs scored.

Calhoun isn't in the starting lineup Friday against the Rangers.

Calhoun will get the night off with a southpaw (Drew Smyly) set to take the mound for Texas. Brian Goodwin draws the start in right field and David Fletcher draws the start in left with Calhoun out of the mix.

Cron went 5-for-6 with a solo home run, two doubles and three runs scored in Thursday's 16-7 demolition of the Angels.

After failing to collect a hit in the first two games of the series against his former team, Cron went off Thursday with his third game of four or more hits in May. He is slashing .325/.391/.675 for the month with eight homers and 16 RBI and is set up to shine as a key cog in the middle of Minnesota's potent offense.
