Cabrera exited Thursday's game in the seventh inning with an apparent injury to his right leg, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Cabrera successfully stole second base but was hurt in the process. He was helped off the field by trainers, though there has been no official diagnosis to this point.

Bell went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Phillies.

Bell took Zach Eflin deep in the opening frame for his fourth homer of the season. He had only one home run through his first 13 games, but he has now delivered three in his last 11 contests. Overall, Bell still has an inflated 30.9 percent strikeout rate, which has limited him to a .140/.202/.326 line across 94 plate appearances.

Voit is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

The Yankees are likely just building in a rest day for Voit after he started both of the past two days following his return from the 10-day injured list. The early returns weren't overly promising (0-for-6 with a walk), but Voit should gradually settle in at the plate once he gets more at-bats under his belt. Mike Ford will fill in for Voit at first base Thursday.

Gurriel (illness) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Gurriel will get a full day to rest up and recover after he was removed from Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Angels when he fell victim to an illness. Aledmys Diaz will fill in at first base for Gurriel, who will hope to return to the lineup Friday.

Wade (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade spent a week with Triple-A Sacramento on a rehab assignment but will be able to return to action after missing nearly a month with a left oblique strain. He's starting in left field and batting seventh in Thursday's game against the Pirates.

Casas went 4-for-6 with two home runs, six RBI and three runs scored for Double-A Portland in Wednesday's win over Hartford.

Casas entered the night batting .182 with 11 strikeouts over 25 at-bats before erupting against the Yard Goats. The offensive explosion raised his average 104 points while his OPS soared to .891. "Those first few games were tough," Casas told Michael Avallone of MLB.com. "I think I was trying to do too much last week. Tonight I just shortened up my approach, didn't go out of the [strike zone] and had some success." Casas is ranked as the organization's No. 1 or 2 prospect depending on the source. He came up as a third baseman but has played only first base for the Sea Dogs in 2021.

Abreu went 2-for-5 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 13-8 win over the Twins.

Abreu logged a third straight multi-RBI performance and is batting .370 (10-for-27) with six extra-base hits and 12 RBI over the last seven games. He's moved up the RBI ladder and ranks tied for second in MLB with 31 runs driven in. The White Sox are 11-1 when Abreu knocks in a run and 6-1 since his hot streak began.

Walker (oblique) expects to return sooner from his current stay on the injured list than he did when he landed on the IL with the same injury April 12, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Walker, who was placed on the injured list for a second time due to a right oblique strain, underwent an MRI on Wednesday that indicated the severity of the injury is less than it was a month ago. That leaves him optimistic that he can beat the 21-day/18-game absence he experienced the first time on the IL.

Cabrera started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Marlins.

Cabrera filled in for the injured Christian Walker (oblique), who was sent to the injured list for the second time this season, and made his eighth appearance at first base. The Diamondbacks are expected to use a rotation of players to cover for Walker and have been careful not to extend the 35-year-old Cabrera.

Beaty went 2-for-3 with a double and three RBI in a win over Seattle on Wednesday.

Beaty plated the Dodgers' first runs of the game with a two-RBI double in the fourth inning. He later brought home another runner with a single in the fifth. The 28-year-old has been on fire since returning to the big club April 24, slashing .394/.512/.545 with a whopping 18 RBI over 41 plate appearances.
