Olson (hand) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Olson has been cleared to rejoin the A's ahead of Tuesday's game against the Reds after completing a five-game rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas, during which he went 4-for-22 (.182) with a homer and two RBI. To make room for Olson, the Athletics are expected to designate Kendrys Morales for assignment. Look for Olson to immediately reclaim his role as the team's primary first baseman, though he may be eased back into action given the extended length of his absence.

Cooper (hand) started a hitting progression Monday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Cooper landed on the injured list over the weekend due to a left hand contusion, though the fact that he's already been cleared to resume hitting suggests his stay on the shelf may not be an extended one. The 28-year-old will be eligible to return May 11, should he prove ready.

Cabrera went 2-for-4 with his seventh home run of the season, four RBI and two runs in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Cabrera kicked off the scoring for the afternoon with an RBI double in the bottom of the second, then plated three more runs when he took Clay Buchholz deep an inning later. While Cabrera's .263 ISO would be a career-high mark, an uptick in his strikeout rate (23.6 percent) along with a deflated .234 BABIP has limited him to a .232 average thus far. Unless Cabrera adjusts his plate approach and trades more fly balls for line drives, his batting-average floor may be lower than his investors anticipated heading into draft day.

Olson (hand) went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Fresno on Sunday.

Olson has now hit safely in three straight rehab games and has a pair of RBI during that stretch. The 25-year-old is likely to be evaluated Monday for a possible activation Tuesday.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Abreu tied the ballgame in the sixth inning with a solo blast to center, but Boston would erupt for seven runs in the eighth to take the series finale. The 32-year-old continues to swing a hot bat, improving his average from .218 to .291 while slugging four homers and notching 16 RBI over his last 11 games.

Hoskins went 1-for-2 with a double, two RBI and two walks Sunday against the Nationals.

Hoskins tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the sixth inning on a double to left field, giving the Phillies a 7-1 lead, which stuck as the final score. He's now hit safely in eight straight contests, slugging three homers and driving in 11 runs over that stretch.

Dixon went 1-for-2 with a walk-off three-run home run in a 5-2 victory against the Royals on Sunday.

The 27-year-old entered the game in the eighth as a pinch hitter and then went deep in his second at-bat. It was his first hit in 13 at-bats and first homer of the year. Dixon is 7-for-24 (.292) with three extra-base hits, seven RBI and one run in nine games this season.

France is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

France had started each of the Padres' last five games at third base. Greg Garcia will get a turn at the hot corner in the series finale, but France looks like he'll be the top option at the position while Manny Machado fills in at shortstop for the injured Fernando Tatis Jr. (hamstring).

Flores is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Flores capitalized on his first two starts at Coors Field this weekend, going a combined 4-for-9 with a pair of doubles, three RBI and a run. With a tough righty (German Marquez) on the hill in the series finale, Flores will head to the bench in favor of Ildemaro Vargas.

Beaty has been sent to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The Dodgers signed Travis d'Arnaud Sunday, so Beaty was sent down to clear a roster spot. The 26-year-old recorded three at-bats with the big club following his April 30 promotion, getting hits in two of them.
