Flores underwent testing on his fractured right foot to determine if he can begin to ramp up activity, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

The team is awaiting the results of the testing. Flores, who has been limited to upper-body work, has been out since May 19 when he was hit by a pitch on the foot. Given the length of time away from activity, Flores will likely need a rehab assignment.

Olson went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs in a 6-2 victory against the Rays on Wednesday.

For the second straight day, the 25-year-old smashed a home run, but he also has four long balls in his last six games. Since June 5, Olson is batting .345 (10-for-29) with those four homers and nine RBI in nine contests. Overall, he is hitting .238 with 11 home runs, 21 RBI and 20 runs in 126 at-bats.

Santana went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and walk during a 7-2 loss to the Reds on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old has homered on two straight days, but both were of the solo variety. Santana has showed a lot of power lately, posting nine home runs in his last 24 games. Overall, he is batting .286 with 14 home runs, 42 RBI, 42 runs and one steal in 234 at-bats this season.

Tellez went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and a stolen base in a win against the Orioles on Wednesday.

Tellez took Miguel Castro deep in the fifth inning to record his 10th homer of the season and the first grand slam of his career. He's been cold at the plate of late, with Wednesday's homer his first since May 22. Moreover, Tellez has managed just five hits in his last 35 at-bats overall. As a result, he's lost playing time, with Wednesday's start just his third in the team's last seven games. He's now hitting .227/.280/.432 across 200 plate appearances for the season.

Votto was removed from Wednesday's game against the Indians due to back stiffness.

Votto was 1-for-2 with a solo homer -- his second in the last five games -- before being removed in the bottom of the fifth inning prior to his third at-bat. Josh VanMeter pinch hit for Votto, who should be considered day-to-day for now. The Reds have a scheduled off day Thursday, so the veteran first baseman will have an extra day to rest and recover before potentially rejoining the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Rangers.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a win over the Rays on Tuesday.

Olson slugged the first of two round trippers off Emilio Pagan in the sixth, plating Matt Chapman to erase a 2-1 deficit for the Athletics. Olson now has three homers in the last five games, a stretch during which he's driven in six of his eight RBI for June.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Tigers.

His seventh-inning shot got the Royals on the board, setting up a two-run eighth to complete the comeback. The team was hoping O'Hearn could provide it with some power this season, but his .192/.292/.341 slash line and six homers in 55 games has been a disappointment.

Bour went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

After an 18-game stint in the minors, Bour returned to the big leagues with a bang, launching a three-run shot to center field in the first inning. The blast would prove to be Bour's only hit of the game, and his pair of strikeouts suggest that he may not have eliminated his early-season struggles just yet. Though Bour has hit five homers in 102 at-bats, he has also whiffed 33 times and is batting a meager .167.

Gurriel went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, a stolen base, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-8 win over the Brewers.

The 35-year-old went yard for the first time since May 21, giving Gurriel five homers on the year to go with a mediocre .260/.289/.402 slash line. His defensive versatility has kept him in the lineup, but once the Astros get healthier, Gurriel could see his playing time dwindle.

Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBI on Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Cabrera drew a walk in his first plate appearance and followed that up with a two-RBI single in the third frame. It was another productive contest for Cabrera, who has five multi-hit games and nine RBI across his last eight contests. He's had a productive year 232 plate appearances into his age-33 season, hitting .261/.345/.458.
