Calhoun is not in Monday's lineup against the Tigers.

Calhoun will take his usual seat on the bench with a left-hander (Matt Boyd) toeing the rubber for the opposition. In his place, Chris Young will pick up a start in right field and hit ninth as the Angels go with an all right-handed hitting lineup.

Bour went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

It's his 10th homer of the season, and first in 10 games. Bour failed to record a single RBI during that power outage, leaving him with only 24 through 50 games on the year, and his .236/.381/.452 slash line is an indication of how few hittable pitches the Marlins' lone true slugger is seeing. Until he gets some help in the lineup, don't expect a big improvement in his numbers.

Cabrera went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI on Sunday against the Brewers.

Cabrera took left-hander Boone Logan deep in the seventh inning for his eighth home run of the season. It was his third home run and fifth extra-base hit off a lefty in 53 at-bats this season. While he has cooled off a bit in May, Cabrera remains productive and has hit in the top third of the Mets' lineup for much of the season.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with two RBI, one walk and one double Sunday against the Braves.

Freeman delivered a two-RBI double in the sixth inning, putting the Braves up 6-0 on the way to a 7-1 victory. Freeman is batting .325 with nine home runs and 38 RBI through 51 games. The Braves are set to begin a three-game series with the Mets on Monday.

Flores will travel back to New York for further tests after he exited Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee with back soreness, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

We won't know the extent of Flores' injury until the results of his tests come back. If he needs a significant amount of time to recover, look for Jose Reyes or Luis Guillorme to get a shot at third base.

Flores left Sunday's game against the Brewers early with lower back soreness, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

Flores was 0-for-2 at the plate before being lifted from the game prior to the bottom of the fourth inning. Consider him a day-to-day case moving forward. He was replaced by Luis Guillorme at third base.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Olson now has five of his eight homers on the season in May, and an impressive 13 extra-base hits overall during the month when factoring in his eight doubles. Despite a slight bump in strikeout rate from 27.8 to 29.0 percent, Olson's cause is being aided by a .319 BABIP. He's unsurprisingly well off the unsustainable long-ball pace he established in his 2017 rookie campaign, as even with Saturday's homer, Olson has 16 fewer round trippers in just nine fewer plate appearances this season.

Cabrera (knee) is starting at second base and batting leadoff Sunday against the Brewers.

Cabrera won't miss any time after tweaking his knee in Saturday's blowout loss to the Brewers. The veteran infielder has tallied five hits through the first three games of the four-game series and is currently slashing .282/.307/.447 with two homers and 12 RBI during the month of May. He continues to be a pleasant fantasy surprise in the early going this season.

Cron went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Orioles.

Cron delivered a two-run double in the second inning off Andrew Cashner to put the Rays up 5-1. He has been relatively quiet of late, with this being his first multi-RBI game since May 15. He'll look to use this performance to get back on track, as he is slugging only .432 for the month of May after posting a .552 mark in April.

Abreu went 4-for-4 with a walk, solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Tigers.

Abreu launched his ninth home run of the season in the fifth inning against left-hander Francisco Liriano. However, that was overshadowed by his overall line, as he reached base in all five of his plate appearances. Getting on base consistently is nothing new for Abreu, who has recorded seven multi-hit games in his past nine starts and has a .382 on-base percentage for the season.
