Tellez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Tellez will sit out for the third time in the four-game series, with all of his benchings coming when the Rays have started southpaws. Travis Shaw will serve as the Jays' designated hitter in Tellez's stead.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Philadelphia.

Freeman got Atlanta on the board with a two-RBI double in the third inning, and he later scored on a Marcell Ozuna single. In the ninth, Freeman ripped another double to left-center field to score one run, but Dansby Swanson was thrown out at the plate to end the game. The 30-year-old Freeman is batting .302/.427/.542 with four homers, 17 RBI and 22 runs scored through 28 games.

Hoskins went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over Atlanta.

Hoskins extended the Phillies' lead to 3-0 with his blast in the third inning. The first baseman is slashing .224/.416/.368 with two homers, nine RBI and 19 runs scored in 23 games this season. He's reached base safely in 19 straight contests, helping him post a walk rate of 20.8 percent this season, but Hoskins is also striking out at a 23.8 percent clip.

Bohm went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 win over Atlanta.

Bohm opened the scoring with his solo shot in the second inning, which was his first homer of the year. The third baseman also got on with a single in the fourth and came around to score on an Andrew McCutchen single. Bohm has recorded multiple hits in four of his last seven games, going 9-for-22 (.409) in that span. He's batting .344 with four RBI and six runs scored in 39 plate appearances this year.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a triple and run scored in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

Guerrero tripled in the fourth inning and scored on Travis Shaw's single two batters later. It marked the 21-year-old's first triple on the season and the third of his career. Guerrero has underwhelmed a bit thus far in 2020, slashing a modest .245/.321/.429 on the season.

Abreu went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Sunday against the Cubs.

Abreu homered in his first at-bat -- which came in the second inning -- giving him home runs in four consecutive at-bats dating back to Saturday's contest. He now has 11 home runs on the season, six of which came in the team's weekend series against the Cubs. His incredible stretch of production has increased his line to .322/.365/.669 with 22 runs scored and 28 RBI across 126 plate appearances.

Diaz went 2-for-2 with two singles and two walks in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Diaz raised his on-base percentage to a stellar .442 after reaching base four times Sunday. He hasn't provided much in the power department thus far, with just five extra-base hits on the campaign. Nonetheless, his ability to reach base at a high level certainly provides value to fantasy owners.

Solano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Solano started the first two games of the series but will take a seat after going 1-for-8 with one RBI and one walk. Wilmer Flores starts at the keystone Sunday while Pablo Sandoval serves as the designated hitter.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

On the bench for the second straight day, O'Hearn's status as the Royals' top first baseman may be on thin ice. He's supplied an uninspiring .613 OPS on the season, and that mark has dropped all the way to .484 over his last 10 games. Hunter Dozier replaces O'Hearn at first base in the series finale.

Diaz (face) will start at third base and bat third Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Diaz was a late scratch ahead of Saturday's 2-1 win in 10 innings, but his absence from the lineup was seemingly just precautionary. The Rays are hoping the one day off won't disrupt Diaz's rhythm at the plate; he went 5-for-8 with a pair of home runs and a double over his previous two starts.
