Flores went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's win over the Angels.

Flores took Patrick Sandoval deep in the third inning for his fifth home run of the season, and the versatile infielder has now produced multi-hit contests in three of his last four games. Flores is hitting .302 with a .509 slugging percentage, three homers and seven RBI in 53 at-bats this month.

White is day-to-day after X-rays on his left knee came back negative, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

White fouled a pitch off his knee before striking out during his first at-bat Wednesday, and he was lifted for a pinch hitter a couple innings later. The 24-year-old avoided a fracture, so he may not be sidelined for long, if at all.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Tigers.

Abreu went deep off Tigers reliever Gregory Soto in the eighth inning to give the White Sox a 4-3 lead. The 32-year-old Abreu has hit five homers with 17 RBI and 14 runs scored in 25 games this season. He's slashing .277/.318/.485 after his second straight multi-hit effort.

Voit went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run Wednesday against the Rays.

Voit took Tyler Glasnow deep in the third inning for his ninth homer of the season. He's been especially hot of late, cranking four long balls in his past three starts. For the campaign, Voit is hitting .290/.372/.696 with 18 RBI and 14 runs scored across 78 plate appearances.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Pirates.

Santana took Dovydas Neverauskas yard in the sixth inning, enough offense to propel Cleveland to a win. It was Santana's third home run of the season, and second in two games against Pittsburgh. He is slowly coming around at the plate, and now has 12 RBI to go along with 13 runs scored and a .197/.408/.342 line in 103 plate appearances.

Cron (knee) was placed on the 45-day injured list Wednesday.

He elected season-ending surgery on his sprained left knee last week, so this is just a formality to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Cron will be a free agent this offseason.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in a loss to the Cubs on Tuesday.

The veteran first baseman was arguably the Cardinals' best offensive weapon on a night when their bats couldn't get much going overall. Goldschmidt has been swinging a red-hot bat since St. Louis resumed play Saturday, hitting .400 (8-for-20) with a double, a home run, three RBI, three walks and four runs across six games.

Manager Charlie Montoyo said Tellez (head) is feeling good and should rejoin the lineup for one or both games of Thursday's doubleheader with the Phillies, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Tellez is out of the lineup for a second straight day in Wednesday's series finale with the Orioles after he was on the receiving end of an elbow to the head in Monday's contest. While Tellez is continuing to go through the concussion protocol, he doesn't appear to have been diagnosed with a concussion at any point and may just be withheld from the starting nine as a precaution. Tellez is batting .218 with three home runs across 61 plate appearances this season.

Tellez (head) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Tellez has yet to clear the concussion protocol after being hit in the head by an elbow while he was playing first base Monday, so he'll be on the bench for a second game in a row. Since the Blue Jays have thus far resisted placing Tellez on the injured list, the club is seemingly optimistic that the 25-year-old will clear protocol in short order.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Nationals.

His fourth-inning blast gave Atlanta a 5-2 lead, but it was the last sign of meaningful offense the Braves would produce on the night. Freeman's put his sluggish start to the season behind him with six multi-hit efforts in his last 12 games, a stretch during which he's slashing .378/.451/.733 with three homers (plus five doubles and a triple) and seven RBI.
