Calhoun was removed from his rehab appearance Tuesday at Triple-A Reno due to a possible setback with his left hamstring, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

After slugging two home runs in his first rehab game Monday, Calhoun went 0-for-1 with a run scored Tuesday before he appeared to tweak the hamstring while trying to avoid being hit by a pitch. According to Piecoro, Calhoun is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, after which the Diamondbacks should have a better sense of the severity of his injury. Calhoun has been on the shelf since late April after undergoing surgery to repair a torn hamstring tendon. Calhoun previously opened the season on the injured list after undergoing surgery in March to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.

Dalbec isn't starting Wednesday's game against Kansas City due to right hamstring tightness, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Dalbec drew two consecutive starts at first base, but he apparently suffered a hamstring injury Tuesday. Manager Alex Cora said the 26-year-old might not be available off the bench so he gets additional time to recover.

Hoskins isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Although Hoskins homered in Tuesday's win over Miami, he's gone just 1-for-22 with two runs, four walks and nine strikeouts across the last six games. The 28-year-old will get a rare day off while Brad Miller takes over at first base and bats seventh.

Dalbec isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Royals, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Dalbec went 4-for-7 with a homer, three runs and a strikeout across the last two games, but he'll get a breather Wednesday. Michael Chavis will shift to first base while Marwin Gonzalez starts at the keystone.

White (hip) received a cortisone injection Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

The recovering first baseman took some time recently to determine the next steps in his recovery, and he apparently opted to go with the injection as a means to reduce inflammation and discomfort for the time being. The timeline for White's potential return to a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma will likely be determined before the week is out.

Naylor will undergo surgery Friday to repair multiple fibula fractures and ligament tearing, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Naylor was carted off the field after a collision in Sunday's loss to the Twins, and he'll miss extended time as a result. The team won't reveal a timetable for his return until after his procedure, but the 24-year-old could miss the remainder of the season. Harold Ramirez should continue to serve as the primary right fielder in Naylor's absence.

Cabrera will start at third base and bat fifth Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Cabrera will pick up his fourth start in five games at third base, and he could end up being the main beneficiary of Ketel Marte's (hamstring) recent move to the injured list. Marte's absence could open up room for Josh Rojas to pick up more starts in the outfield, thereby allowing Eduardo Escobar to get more starts at second base while Cabrera mans the hot corner. At the very least, the switch-hitting Cabrera should be a fixture in the lineup versus southpaws, given the bevy of lefty bats on the Arizona roster.

Rizzo said Wednesday that his tight lower back has shown improvement of late, and he hopes to rejoin the Cubs lineup "in a couple days," Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Based on his comments, Rizzo appears set to remain on the bench for a third consecutive game Wednesday against the Brewers, but the first baseman is apparently optimistic that he'll ready to go for the Cubs' weekend series with the Reds following Thursday's team off day. Rizzo hasn't appeared in a pinch-hitting capacity either of the past two days, so the Cubs would presumably prefer not to use him in Wednesday's series finale.

O'Hearn went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Red Sox.

O'Hearn logged his first three-hit game of the year with a pair of singles and a two-run blast in the fifth to put the Royals back up 6-5. The 27-year-old spent nearly a month at Triple-A Omaha after showing struggles early in the year but is slashing .333/.333/.606 with 11 hits, seven RBI and four runs scored in eight games since being recalled back to the big club June 21.

Abreu went 0-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 win over Minnesota.

Abreu was hit by a pitch on the knee during the first game of Sunday's doubleheader and missed the nightcap. The issue was seemingly not serious, as he was ready to play Monday before that game was rained out. The slugger, however, remains in a funk, batting just .119 (5-for-42) over the last 12 games.
