Walker went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Marlins.

Walker came off the injured list Tuesday and slotted in at the three-hole in the order while playing first base. This was his first game since April 11.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-0 rout of the Reds.

The reigning AL MVP led off the second inning by taking Jeff Hoffman deep to get the ball rolling on a big night for the White Sox offense. Abreu is displaying his usual power, slugging six homers and 22 RBI through 28 games, but his .214 batting average is a significant disappointment and more than 100 points lower than last year's effort.

Cron went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Giants.

After going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in the first game of the twin bill, Cron came back and cranked a game-tying homer against Alex Wood in the second tilt. The 31-year-old also tacked on a two-out single in the seventh inning, positioning Charlie Blackmon for a walkoff home run. Cron now has five home runs on the season while batting .290/.389/.495.

Flores went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored during Tuesday's loss at Colorado.

Flores tacked on a pair of insurance runs for the Giants with his long ball against Mychal Givens in the sixth inning. However, the Rockies put together a seventh-inning rally for the win. Flores, who now has two long balls this season, was making his fourth straight start due to infielder Tommy La Stella's (hamstring) recent move to the injured list.

Cabrera went 3-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Marlins.

The veteran infielder continues to give Arizona a solid bat at the top of the order. Over the last 12 games, Cabrera has hit .342 (13-for-38), but a lack of support around him in the lineup has left him with only three RBI and seven runs over that stretch.

Kirillof (wrist) is scheduled to visit a hand and wrist specialist Wednesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The 23-year-old suffered a right wrist injury sliding into second base Monday and was held out of Tuesday's starting nine. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the fact that he's visiting a specialist so quickly is an ominous sign. Kirilloff is unlikely to be available Wednesday while being evaluated, and it should be known shortly whether a trip to the injured list is necessary.

Kirilloff is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers due to wrist soreness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The 23-year-old was originally slated to start Tuesday, but he was scratched due to the wrist issue. Kirilloff should be considered day-to-day while he continues to be evaluated.

Kirilloff is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Rangers.

He is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, hitting .321 with four home runs over that stretch. However, his 33.3 percent strikeout rate and 3.3 percent walk rate over this hot streak are worth keeping an eye on. Willians Astudillo will start at first base and hit eighth.

Raley will join the Dodgers as the 27th man for the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Raley received his first 39 MLB plate appearances in April but didn't do much with them, hitting just .206/.308/.324. He'll serve as a bench bat in the nightcap.

White was reinstated from the bereavement list Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

He missed a few games to attend to a personal matter. White is hitting .108 with zero home runs and a 3:11 BB:K over his last 10 games.
