Voit (biceps) has returned to San Diego and is expected to get some live at-bats at the Padres' facility over the next few days before returning from the 10-day injured list, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Though Voit believes the biceps issue that resulted in his placement on the IL on April 24 has subsided at this point, he's looking to regain his timing at the plate on the heels of a rough rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso. During his five-game run with El Paso, Voit went hitless with 12 strikeouts across 18 at-bats. The Padres don't believe Voit will need extensive time to find his swing, though he's not expected to be activated during the team's three-game home series with the Cubs that runs from Monday through Wednesday.

O'Hearn isn't starting the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

O'Hearn drew his third consecutive start in Sunday's matinee, and he went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a strikeout. Hunter Dozier will start at first base while Salvador Perez serves as the designated hitter.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees.

With southpaw Jordan Montgomery on the hill for the nightcap, Calhoun will head to the bench while Adolis Garcia picks up a start in right field. Calhoun was responsible for the Rangers' only damage against Gerrit Cole in the Yankees' 2-1 win in Game 1, as he took New York's ace deep in the seventh inning for his first home run of the season.

Smith is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

The Phillies are bringing a southpaw (Cristopher Sanchez) to the hill for the second game of the twin bill, so the lefty-hitting Smith will cede his spot to the righty-hitting J.D. Davis as the Mets play matchups. Smith started at first base in the Mets' 3-2 loss in Game 2, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

The freshly activated Ji-Man Choi (elbow) will step in at first base for Diaz, who had drawn starts at the position in each of the Rays' last six games. Though Choi is back in the fold, Diaz is expected to play on a near-everyday basis while bouncing between the two corner-infield spots. Taylor Walls appears to be at greater risk of losing out on regular playing time following Choi's return.

Gurriel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gurriel is presumably sitting as a result of a planned rest day, as he had started in each of the Astros' last 10 games. Niko Goodrum will get the nod at first base in place of Gurriel, who went 6-for-37 during that 10-game stretch to drop his season average to .196.

Beaty (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Beaty appeared to suffer a shoulder injury on a diving attempt in the outfield during Saturday's game, and he won't start Sunday's series finale. The 29-year-old has seen significant action in right field since Wil Myers (thumb) landed on the injured list, and the Padres will continue moving down the depth chart. Trayce Thompson will receive the nod in right for Sunday's contest.

Beaty left Saturday's loss to the Marlins after appearing to injure his shoulder while diving for a ball in the second inning, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Beaty got the start in right field but had to give way to Jose Azocar after landing awkwardly on the attempted catch in the second frame. Manager Bob Melvin didn't sound optimistic about Beaty's prognosis after the game, stating, "They're working on him right now, but it was obviously enough to where he had to come out of the game, so that's not a great sign." San Diego is already without primary right fielder Wil Myers, who is on the 10-day injured list with a thumb injury, so losing Beaty for any amount of time would further thin the team's outfield depth. Options in right field behind Myers and Beaty include Azocar, Trayce Thompson and CJ Abrams.

O'Hearn will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Orioles, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

O'Hearn will stay in the lineup for the third game in a row, and at least against right-handed pitching, he looks like he'll be the primary replacement for Carlos Santana (ankle), who was recently placed on the 10-day injured list. Over his prior two starts, O'Hearn went 1-for-7, with his single in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Cardinals representing his first hit of the season.

Flores went 1-for-3 with a grand slam, a walk and six total RBI in Saturday's 13-7 win over the Cardinals.

Flores gave the Giants a big early lead with his first-inning grand slam off Steven Matz. Though he didn't collect another hit in the contest, the veteran produced two more runs on a fourth-inning sacrifice fly and an eighth-inning bases-loaded walk. The grand slam was the fifth of Flores' career, and his first since September of 2017, per Sarah Langs of MLB.com. Flores is slashing .269/.340/.419 with three homers and a team-high 19 RBI on the season.
