Solano will not start the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Washington, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Jose Abreu 1B | HOU
White Sox's Jose Abreu: Records two hits Friday
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.

Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Clubs MLB-leading 19th homer
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.

Bobby Dalbec 1B | CHW
Red Sox's Bobby Dalbec: Homers Friday
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.

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.
