Voit went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run during Tuesday's 9-6 win over Atlanta.

Voit opened the scoring Tuesday by putting a 422-foot blast into the left-field seats during the first inning. The 29-year-old has a .261/.333/.587 slash line with five home runs and 11 RBI in 14 games.

Walker went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Tuesday's 8-7 loss to the Rockies.

Walker opened the scoring with a 450-foot blast off Rockies starter Kyle Freeland in the fourth inning. That was the first homer of the year for Walker, who has added 11 RBI, nine runs scored and a .290 batting average in 17 games.

Solano's absence from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros is due to abdominal soreness, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Solano has swung a very hot bat this season, hitting .458/.476/.661. He'll be re-evaluated Wednesday, but with the Giants having a scheduled off day Thursday, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him sit for at least one more game. Mauricio Dubon will handle second base Tuesday.

Solano will sit Tuesday against Houston, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Solano has earned a significant role in San Francisco this season, starting 14 of the team's first 19 games. With a .458/.476/.661 slash line through his first 63 plate appearances, it's not hard to see why, though the .520 BABIP that props up that line isn't anything close to sustainable. Mauricio Dubon will be the second baseman Tuesday.

Abreu (hip) is in the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.

Abreu left Monday's contest with a stinger in his right hip, but he'll return to action Tuesday. Manager Rick Renteria didn't sound too concerned about the injury, and the first baseman should be available for the White Sox going forward.

Calhoun will be on the bench against lefty Kyle Freeland and the Rockies on Tuesday.

The Diamondbacks haven't been platooning Calhoun this season, as he started against two of the first three lefties the team faced, though any off days he does receive will likely come against southpaws. Tim Locastro will be the right fielder Tuesday.

Tellez isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

Even with righty Elieser Hernandez on the mound for Miami on Tuesday, Tellez will sit after going hitless in the past three contests. Joe Panik will take over as the designated hitter and bat eighth.

Alonso is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

This appears to be nothing more than a routing off day for the young slugger. He may need a day to sort things out after hitting just .200/.333/.308 through his first 17 games. Dominic Smith will handle first base in his absence.

O'Hearn (shin) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds, batting fifth and playing first base.

O'Hearn left Saturday's game against the Twins after fouling a ball off his shin and did not take part in Sunday's contest. He's ready to go now following Monday's off day.

Cron was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left knee Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Cron left Monday's game against the White Sox with the injury, and it's evidently severe enough for him to be forced to sit for at least 10 days. His expected return date has not yet been announced. The cleanup hitter's absence will be a blow to a surprisingly competitive Tigers team, as he owned a strong .894 OPS despite a low .190 batting average. Willi Castro was recalled in a corresponding move.
