Voit went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, double and two runs scored Thursday against the Orioles.

Voit took Miguel Castro deep in the eighth inning to record his 12th homer of the season. That came after he doubled and came around to score in the sixth inning, and he now has six extra-base hits in his last eight games. He's managed to raise his slugging percentage 33 points in that span, and he's now hitting .263/.376/.503 across 213 plate appearances for the season.

Diaz (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz has been out since Monday with a sore hand/wrist after getting hit by a pitch Sunday. He will be eligible to return May 30 against the Twins. Daniel Robertson, who is starting at the hot corner and hitting ninth Thursday, will likely get the bulk of the starts at third base in the short term.

Olson went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and a run in a win over the Indians on Wednesday.

Olson continued his recent stretch of hard contact Wednesday, as he now has six extra-base hits (two doubles, four home runs) over his last nine starts. The young slugger's previously injured hand, which was the cause of a 34-game absence earlier this year, appears to be back to full health, if Olson's offense since returning is any indication.

Tellez went 2-for-5 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's extra-innings loss to the Red Sox.

He took Heath Hembree deep in the 12th inning, matching Mookie Betts' shot in the top of the frame and keeping the Jays alive, but none of his teammates were able to respond to Michael Chavis' solo homer in the 13th. Tellez has gone yard three times in the last two games, and while his .254/.310/.486 slash line remains sluggish, he's supplying strong power numbers with nine home runs and 25 RBI through 42 games in his first full season in the majors.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-4 win over Houston.

Abreu has homered in back-to-back games, the 24th time he's achieved that feat during his career. He's up to 40 RBI, tied for second in the AL with Adalberto Mondesi and trailing Houston's George Springer.

Guerrero went 2-for-6 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Red Sox.

His fourth-inning blast off Rick Porcello -- a 424-foot rocket to center field -- got the Jays on the board. Guerrero is living up to the hype, slashing an eye-popping .368/.442/.789 over his last 10 games with all five of his big-league homers and 10 RBI.

Mountcastle could get reps in the outfield later this summer at Triple-A, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

So far, he has played almost exclusively at first base this season, with a few starts at third base and designated hitter sprinkled in. While Mountcastle's .323/.351/.530 slash line and seven home runs in 174 plate appearances suggest he is nearly ready for big-league pitching, the Orioles want him to face Triple-A pitchers for a second time to see how he responds to being pitched differently.

Gurriel is not starting Wednesday against the White Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Gurriel sits for the first time in over two weeks. Tyler White will fill in for him at first base.

Diaz (hand/wrist) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

Diaz left Sunday's game against the Yankees after getting hit in the hand. He was originally in Tuesday's lineup but was eventually scratched and remains out for the second game in a row. Daniel Robertson remains in the lineup at third base.

Santana went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks Wednesday in the Indians' 5-3 loss to the Athletics.

Francisco Lindor tied Santana for the team lead when he slugged his seventh home run of the season in the first inning, but Santana reclaimed sole possession of first place after taking Chris Bassitt deep in the bottom of the third. The first baseman has been the Indians' best all-around hitter throughout the season, but he's been particularly productive over his last six starts. During that span, he's gone 8-for-18 with three home runs, seven RBI, five runs and an 8:2 BB:K.
