Olson underwent an X-ray on his eye Wednesday that revealed no broken bones, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Olson suffered an eye injury during batting practice prior to Thursday's game against the Rays and was scratched from the lineup as a result. However, he was diagnosed with a bruise after his X-ray. It appears as though Olson has avoided a major injury, although it's not yet clear whether he could return for Friday's series opener against Baltimore.

Beaty came through with a two-run single in a pinch hit appearance Wednesday against Cincinnati.

Beaty made his lone trip to the plate in the contest count, driving in a pair of runs with a single to left field in the eighth inning. All four of his RBI this season have come in the past two days, and he has now reached base via hit or walk in four of his last five plate appearances. Beaty has yet to record an extra-base hit this season but has registered a 5:6 BB:K while serving primarily as a pinch hitter.

Olson isn't in Thursday's lineup against the Rays due to an eye injury, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Olson was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup, and manager Bob Melvin revealed that the first baseman hit a ball in batting practice that ricocheted off his eye. He'll have an X-ray, the results of which should give us a better idea of his prognosis.

Olson was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays for undisclosed reasons.

Whether Olson is dealing with something that will require an extended absence remains to be seen. Mitch Moreland will enter the lineup as his replacement, batting sixth and playing first base.

Voit (knee) will take live at-bats at the Yankees' alternate training site Thursday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Voit has been participating in defensive drills and running outside recently, and he'll now face live pitching for the first time since undergoing knee surgery in late March. The 30-year-old appears to be trending in the right direction, but it's not yet clear when he'll return to game action.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Tampa Bay will go with Joey Wendle and Mike Brosseau as its corner infielders while Diaz takes a seat in the series finale. Diaz had started each of the past seven games, going 5-for-23 while drawing six walks.

Freeman went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two runs in Wednesday's 10-0 rout of the Cubs.

He took Alec Mills deep in the sixth inning for his seventh homer of the year -- one of five long balls by Atlanta on the night. Freeman appears to have found his form at the plate, as he's slashed .316/.469/.605 with three home runs and eight RBI across his last 11 games.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jays.

He capped the scoring on the night with a fifth-inning blast off Ty Tice. Bell has struggled to find his timing at the plate to begin the season, and Wednesday's homer -- only his second of the year -- snapped an 0-for-15 skid.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Pirates.

Santana walked and scored on a Jorge Soler double in the first inning. In the fourth, Santana got aboard with a single and scored on a Soler single to extend the Royals' lead to 6-0. Santana's third run came in the sixth inning after he reached on an error. The first baseman has five home runs, 19 RBI, 13 runs scored, a stolen base and a .244/.364/.476 slash line through 23 games.

Cronenworth slugged a solo home run in his only at-bat during a win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Cronenworth entered the contest having collected only two hits over his past 24 at-bats before smashing a 409-foot solo shot to right field in the sixth inning. The long ball was his second of the campaign and accounted for his fifth RBI. The 27-year-old is slashing .260/.345/.396 across 96 plate appearances.
