Calhoun is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees.

Calhoun is hitting just .160 against southpaws this season. With the left-handed CC Sabathia taking the mound for the Yankees, Calhoun will head to the bench and give way to Chris Young in right field.

Cron went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run in a win over the Red Sox on Friday.

Cron's April hit parade continues, as he's now hit safely in five straight games and in 13 of his last 14 contests overall. Additionally, although he saw a four-game streak of multiple RBI snapped Friday, he's still driven in an impressive team-high 17 runs during the month.

Abreu (illness) will play first base and bat third against the Royals on Friday.

Abreu will return to the field after missing Thursday's game due to illness. The 31-year-old shouldn't face any limitations moving forward as it appears he's feeling fine and fully recovered from this ailment. Over 21 games this season, Abreu is hitting .286/.348/.536 with six home runs and 12 RBI.

Cron went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Orioles.

Cron remained hot, blasting his fourth home run in as many days. He is seeing regular playing time and he has taken advantage by posting a .517 slugging percentage through 87 at-bats. Like many of the mid-career breakouts over the past few seasons, Cron has elevated his flyball rate, so he could continue to hit for plenty of power throughout the season even if his current pace does not continue.

Abreu (illness) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

Abreu is still battling an illness that forced him to leave Wednesday's game in the fourth inning, so he'll get the night off while Matt Davidson picks up a start at first base in his stead. He should continue to be considered day-to-day.

Gillaspie was sent off the 40-man roster and outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Gillaspie is hitting .214/.263/.229 with one extra-base hit and five RBI in 18 games for Charlotte this season. This move further illustrates that Gillaspie is still far away from earning a call up to the major-league level.

Guerrero went 3-for-4 with three RBI in Wednesday's game for Double-A New Hampshire against Binghamton.

Guerrero ranks sixth in the Eastern League in wRC+ (169), and everyone ahead of him is at least three years his senior. He has seven walks and seven strikeouts through 82 plate appearances, and appears to be in complete control against Double-A pitchers, despite the fact he is the youngest player at the level. He should earn a promotion to Triple-A in the coming months, and could make his MLB debut later this season, depending on how the team prioritizes team control, TV ratings (Rogers Media owns the Blue Jays), and competing for a playoff berth.

Abreu was removed from Wednesday's contest due to flu-like symptoms, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Abreu was taken out of the game against the Mariners prior to the top of the fourth inning as Matt Davidson replaced him at first base. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's series opener in Kansas City.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

Just as notable as his solid stat line was the fact that Olson snapped a dubious 15-game streak with at least one strikeout. The young slugger has picked it up at the plate over the last six games, going 10-for-27 with two doubles, five RBI and four runs during that stretch.

Abreu went 4-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 10-4 win over the Mariners.

This was the 12th time in Abreu's career he's hit multiple homers in a game, and it pushed him past Matt Davidson for the team lead with six long balls this season. He's also tops the team in RBI (12), batting average (.308) and OPS (.949). In other words, he's right where he should be: the White Sox's most dangerous weapon with a bat in hand.
