Guerrero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

He'll receive his first maintenance day of August after opening the month by going 11-for-26 with two home runs, three doubles, six RBI and four runs in six games. Brandon Drury will spell the rookie phenom at third base and bat sixth.

Abreu went 4-for-8 with a home run, a double, two walks and three RBI on Tuesday as the White Sox split their doubleheader with the Tigers.

Abreu connected on his 24th home run of the season -- and just his third since the All-Star break -- in the first game of the twin bill. The 32-year-old has been in prolonged funk at the dish, but he's at no risk of losing playing time because of it. He'll be back in the lineup for the series finale Wednesday, starting at first base and batting third.

Gurriel went 2-for-3 with two home runs, three runs scored, three RBI and a walk in the Astros' 11-6 victory over the Rockies on Tuesday.

Gurriel had been in a brief 3-for-19 skid over his last five games coming into this contest, but he snapped out of it in resounding fashion with this multi-homer effort that brings him up to 22 long balls on the season. He's now surpassed his career high of 20 that he set last season, to go along with a solid .293/.332/.530 slash line across 445 plate appearances.

O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Red Sox.

O'Hearn led off the fifth frame with a solo home run, his seventh long ball of the season. It was just his second hit since being recalled to the big-league club July 27 (eight strikeouts in 27 plate appearances in that span). O'Hearn currently appears to be slotted in behind Cheslor Cuthbert at first base, giving him only sporadic chances at the dish.

Diaz (foot) fielded grounders Tuesday but isn't ready to return to action just yet, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Diaz hasn't played since fouling a ball off his foot back on July 22. He reportedly didn't look sharp while fielding and was walking slowly. It's not clear when he's expected to return.

Calhoun will be on the bench Tuesday against the Reds.

Calhoun sits after starting each of the last nine games. He went just 5-for-33 at the plate over that stretch. Brian Goodwin starts in right field in his absence.

Cron is not starting Monday against the Braves.

Cron has gone 3-for-7 with a home run and two RBI in two games since returning from the IL over the weekend. He'll give way to Ehire Adrianza at first base in Monday's series opener as the Twins look to ease him back into action.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

O'Hearn will take a seat with a left-hander (Devin Smeltzer) on the bump for Minnesota, paving the way for Cheslor Cuthbert to occupy first base in the series finale. The 26-year-old was also on the bench in Saturday's loss when the Royals opposed a right-handed starting pitcher (Kyle Gibson), signaling that O'Hearn may no longer be viewed as a platoon option.

Santana went 1-for-2 with a home run and two walks in a 7-2 victory over the Angels on Saturday.

The 33-year-old is only 4-for-19 in his last six games, but three of those hits are homers, and he has nine RBI during the same stretch. Santana has seen his average drop since the All-Star break, but his on-base percentage still sits at .401. He's batting .279 with 24 home runs, 63 RBI, 73 runs and four steals in 384 at-bats this season.

Cron went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in an 11-3 victory over the Royals on Saturday.

The 29-year-old returned from the injured list (thumb) Saturday and posted his first multi-hit game since July 16. If he heats up, Cron could still reach the 30-homer plateau, which he accomplished for the first time last season. Cron is batting .269 with 19 home runs, 57 RBI and 38 runs in 324 at-bats this year.
