Naylor (wrist) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta.

It's the second straight absence for Naylor, who injured his right wrist in Monday's series opener. He was scheduled to undergo imaging tests Tuesday, the results of which have yet to be made available. David Fry is covering first base for Cleveland on Wednesday and Josh Bell will serve as the designated hitter.

Casas is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rangers.

It's notable because the Red Sox are facing a righty in Jon Gray. While Casas had a nice June overall, he has just two hits in his last 14 at-bats. Justin Turner will play first base Wednesday.

Dalbec was injured after being hit by a pitch in the area of his left hand/wrist last Thursday while playing for Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Dalbec was hit by the pitch in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader, then homered in the second game before the area began to swell. He has missed the five games since. WooSox manager Chad Tracy provided an update Tuesday to Katie Morrison-O'Day of MassLive.com, saying X-rays came back clean and the team is waiting on CT scan results. The manager is hopeful Dalbec will return this week.

Solano went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Royals.

He went back-to-back with Byron Buxton in the fifth inning off Zack Greinke, giving Solano his fourth homer of the year -- all of which have come since June 11. The 35-year-old isn't quite an everyday player for the Twins, but he's found his way into the lineup more often than not, and since the beginning of June he's slashing .280/.404/.500 with 11 RBI and 12 runs in 29 games.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

Guerrero restored the Blue Jays' lead with an eighth-inning blast for the final runs of the game. He's gone 11-for-37 (.297) with four homers and 12 RBI over his last 10 games. The first baseman has just 13 homers and a .455 slugging percentage in what's been a down power year, but he's batting a steady .277 with 54 RBI, 39 runs scored, four stolen bases and 18 doubles through 83 contests. Guerrero's recent play suggests his power may be coming around again.

Naylor (wrist) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus Atlanta.

Naylor injured his right wrist during Monday's loss to Atlanta. The results of the imaging on the wrist have not been revealed, but the first baseman will need at least one day of rest. Josh Bell will be at first base Tuesday, with Jose Ramirez occupying the designated hitter spot and Tyler Freeman handling third base.

France was scratched from the Mariners' lineup Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

France didn't play Monday after getting banged up on a collision with the Rays' Isaac Paredes on Sunday. The Mariners had contended that he was fine, but while it's not clear exactly what injury he's dealing with, he's evidently still sore. Jarred Kelenic has replaced France in the lineup and Mike Ford will move to first base.

Pratto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI against Minnesota in Monday's loss.

Pratto tied the scored twice in the contest, notching an RBI single in the third inning and launching a solo shot to right field in the eighth. The first baseman batted out of the No. 3 hole in the order following a pair of games during which he hit cleanup. Pratto served as Kansas City's leadoff hitter for much of June, so he could see more opportunities to drive in runs if his move to the middle of the order remains in place. He's been only moderately productive on the season, slashing .261/.349/.415 with six homers, 26 RBI, 27 runs and one stolen base over 238 plate appearances.

Naylor is expected to undergo further evaluation on his right wrist Tuesday, P.J. Ziegler of Fox 8 reports.

Naylor appeared to be in discomfort while at the dish during Monday's game against Atlanta, but he managed to talk his way into staying in the contest after receiving a visit from his manager and the team trainer. After the game, skipper Terry Francona noted that Naylor will undergo imaging on his right wrist to determine the severity of the issue. The team should know more about his status moving forward once the scans come back.

Abreu went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 12-11 victory over Texas.

Abreu blasted a three-run, 452-foot homer off Glenn Otto in the fourth inning before tying the game with an RBI double in the ninth. The homer was Abreu's seventh of the year, six of which have come in his previous 20 games. The veteran first-baseman has gone 15-for-41 (.366) with seven extra-base hits over his last 10 contests, boosting his slash line to .243/.292/.358 with 45 RBI and 28 runs scored through 342 plate appearances this season.
