Abreu went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Friday's win over the Tigers.

Abreu has recorded back-to-back multi-hit games and has three doubles over his last two contests, but he's currently riding a power drought and has gone 11 straight games without a home run. The slugger continues to struggle this season but seems to be moving slowly in the right direction -- this was just the third time this season where he recorded two or more consecutive multi-hit appearances.

Guerrero went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Friday's loss against the Red Sox.

Guerrero smashed his 19th homer of the campaign off reliever Hirokazu Sawamura in the sixth inning, and he continues to see the ball extremely well while supplying power to all fields. The slugger has hit safely in six of his nine games this month while blasting three homers, and he's hitting an impressive .419 with a stellar 1.352 OPS across 37 plate appearances in June.

Dalbec went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over Toronto.

Dalbec, who is putting in extra time working on timing of his leg kick, is 3-for-8 with a homer, a double and three RBI the last two games after a 3-for-38 slump. The kick helps Dalbec time his swing at the pitched ball, and pitchers do their best to disrupt the timing of the kick. He's working on making the move more compact, which in theory will improve his timing.

Cabrera started at first base and went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

This was Cabrera's first start in the field since he returned from the injured list June 4. He served as a pinch hitter for his first four appearances then as the designated hitter Thursday. The veteran infielder is hitless in 11 at-bats with a sacrifice fly since his return.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-4 win against the Twins on Friday.

Gurriel smashed a 393-foot solo shot in the sixth inning to tie the game 3-3. The long ball was his second in as many games and 10th overall this season. Gurriel ranks fourth in MLB with a .333 average on the campaign and is tied for seventh with 46 RBI.

Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mets.

Cronenworth got San Diego on the board with his blast off Mets reliever Miguel Castro in the seventh inning. The long ball was Cronenworth's first since May 21. The versatile infielder is slashing .276/.344/.412 with six homers, 20 RBI, 39 runs scored and three stolen bases across 272 plate appearances.

Votto went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and four RBI in Friday's 11-5 win over Colorado.

Votto solidified Cincinnati's lead with a three-run blast in the third inning. He also drew a bases-loaded walk in the sixth for his fourth RBI of the game. He's hit two long balls and added six RBI in four games since he returned from a thumb injury. The first baseman is slashing .220/.313/.449 with seven homers, 23 RBI and 11 runs scored through 134 plate appearances.

Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

Rizzo made his lone hit count, connecting for his seventh home run of the season in the sixth inning. The slugging first baseman isn't delivering his usual power production, though he's chugging along with a .308 batting average this month. If he keeps making consistent contact, expect more balls to leave the yard in short order.

Calhoun (hamstring) is aiming to return from the 60-day injured list when first eligible June 27 in San Diego, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

He has been sidelined since April 27 but could be back this month. Calhoun is in the final year of a two-year, $16 million contract that includes a team option for 2022. With Arizona in last place in the NL West, the team will likely look to shop Calhoun at the trade deadline. The 33-year-old hit .292/.333/.479 with two home runs and one steal in 13 games prior to suffering the injury.

Kirilloff (ankle) is in the starting lineup Friday against the Astros, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Kirilloff sprained his ankle in Thursday's game against the Yankees, but he'll be able to stay in lineup for Friday's series opener against Houston, batting fourth as the right fielder.
