Diaz went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs in a 6-1 victory against the Red Sox on Sunday.

The 27-year-old had a nice weekend at Fenway Park, but his hot streak really started at Comerica Park on Thursday. Diaz is 9-for-23 (.391) in the last five games. The bad news is that hot streak has produced eight singles with just one homer and two RBI. Diaz is batting .270 with 10 home runs, 24 RBI, 31 runs and one steal in 189 at-bats during 2019.

Cabrera went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Athletics.

Cabrera did all his damage from the sixth inning on, including nearly sparking a rally against Oakland closer Blake Treinen in the ninth. The 33-year-old infielder owns a solid .805 OPS with 38 RBI and 20 extra-base hits across 223 plate appearances.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

With the Mariners bringing a lefty (Wade LeBlanc) to the hill as their primary pitcher, Calhoun will bow out of the lineup. Cesar Puello replaces him in the outfield and will bat fifth.

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

O'Hearn had started each of the previous three games, going 0-for-11 during that stretch to sink his season batting average to .185. Though the Royals have regularly deployed him against right-handed pitching, O'Hearn will sit in favor of Cheslor Cuthbert with Reynaldo Lopez on the bump for Chicago.

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

Since producing three home runs in a two-day stretch May 21 and 22, Tellez has gone ice cold at the plate and may be beginning to lose playing time as a result. He's managed only four hits over his last 38 at-bats and will head to the bench for the third time in five games while Eric Sogard handles designated-hitter duties.

Guerrero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Guerrero will head to the bench for the final game of the homestand after starting each of the previous eight contests and going 10-for-32 with four extra-base hits and five RBI. Brandon Drury will spell Guerrero at third base and bat ninth.

Cabrera is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Athletics.

Cabrera is hitting the ball well lately -- he's 11-for-26 in June so far -- but will sit out the nightcap as Logan Forsythe starts at third base and bats fifth for Texas.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer during Oakland's 10-5 loss to the Rangers in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday.

Olson plated the first two Oakland runs with a homer off Joe Palumbo in the fourth inning, and all eight of his home runs have come in the 29 games since he returned from injury May 7. He now holds a .236/.317/.509 slash line for the year.

Voit is not in the lineup Saturday against Cleveland.

Voit gets his first day off in nearly a month and just his third all season. He's been required to carry a heavy load as the Yankees have dealt with a long list of injuries, though he could get more opportunities to rest as the team gets healthier. DJ LeMahieu starts at first base in his absence.

Calhoun went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Mariners.

Calhoun swatted a homer off starter Marco Gonzales in the second inning to increase his season total to 13. The 31-year-old outfielder is off to a much better start than in 2018, but he still has some work to do. Overall, Calhoun's batting .239/.328/.486 with 37 runs scored and 25 RBI.
