Calhoun went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 6-3 win over the Astros.

Calhoun tagged a fourth-inning offering from Zack Greinke over the right-field wall to give the Diamondbacks their first lead of the game with a three-run blast. In the eighth, Calhoun sent another ball to a similar area for an insurance run on a solo shot. The 32-year-old outfielder is getting great power recently, with six homers and a pair of doubles in his last eight games. He's added 14 RBI and nine runs scored in that span.

Dalbec is not in the lineup Friday against the Yankees, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Dalbec started the past four games and will receive a day off after going 2-for-15 with 10 strikeouts. Michael Chavis receives the start at first base while J.D. Martinez takes over in left field.

Alonso is not in the lineup Friday against Atlanta.

There haven't been reports that Alonso is battling an injury, so it's unusual to see him sit against lefty Max Fried, with the left-handed Dominic Smith starting ahead of him at first bench. Still, it's possible Alonso has been benched on merit, as his .755 OPS is considerably worse than Smith's 1.034 mark as well as designated hitter J.D. Davis's .802 mark.

Naylor is out of the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

Naylor has two hits in his past 18 at-bats and will take a seat for the second time in the past three games. Jordan Luplow receives the start in left field for Cleveland, batting seventh.

Bell is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Bell started the past 14 games and has a 1.024 OPS during that stretch, but he'll take a seat for Friday's matinee. Jose Osuna receives the start at first base in Game 1.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and two runs during a win over the Orioles in the second game of a doubleheader Thursday.

Lowe's fifth-inning hit was a big one, as it snapped a 6-6 tie and ignited a four-run rally for the Rays in the seven-inning contest. The 25-year-old has been seeing regular playing time at first base in the absence of Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) and making good use of it, hitting .409 (9-for-22) with a double, three home runs, nine RBI, four walks, one steal and seven runs over his last seven games.

Voit went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Blue Jays.

His fourth-inning blast, one of a club-record five the Yankees launched in the fourth inning, was Voit's fourth in the last three days and his league-leading 20th of the year. The power surge has boosted his slash line to .283/.342/.659, and the 29-year-old is now up to 46 RBI through 46 games.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs and a walk in Thursday's loss to the Mets.

Bohm was the middle part of a back-to-back-back series of home runs with Bryce Harper and Didi Gregorius in the first inning to help counter the three runs scored by the Mets in the top of the frame. Bohm also laced a double in the second inning for his 10th two-bagger in only his 34th career game. The rookie has enjoyed a fine start to his career, posting a .317/.368/.496 slash line through 136 plate appearances.

Alonso went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Phillies.

Alonso initiated a Mets comeback with a solo shot to left field in the sixth inning. While his .215 average and .754 OPS are considerable dropoffs from his 2019 Rookie of the Year campaign, Alonso does rank in the top 10 among National League hitters with 12 long balls on the season.

Abreu went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two RBI in Thursday's victory over the Twins.

Abreu slugged a solo homer to center during the fourth inning, and he beat out an infield single to drive in a run in the seventh, tying the game at three. Abreu has homered in back-to-back contests and is currently enjoying a six-game hitting streak.
