Voit is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Voit is no longer a full-time player for the Yankees with Anthony Rizzo taking over primary duties at first base, but the former still looks to be locked into a near-everyday role at designated hitter. However, with the Yankees giving Giancarlo Stanton a break from outfield duties and having him serve as a DH in Monday's series opener, Voit will be forced to the bench as a result.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will unsurprisingly remain on the bench with the Royals facing a southpaw (Zac Lowther) for the series opener in Baltimore. O'Hearn has been hurt by Kansas City facing a slew of lefties lately, but Adalberto Mondesi's recent return from the injured list looks like it will cost O'Hearn some opportunities versus right-handed pitching, too. O'Hearn has picked up only one start in the Royals' last seven games.

Gurriel went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Padres.

Gurriel went deep off Chris Paddack to lead off the seventh inning. It was the first of back-to-back homers as Carlos Correa followed him with one of his own. The 37-year-old Gurriel is slashing .314/.384/.473 with 14 long balls, 72 RBI and 67 runs scored in 510 plate appearances. He has at least one hit in 14 of his last 15 games.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs in Sunday's 8-0 win over Oakland.

The 22-year-old recorded three singles in the contest. Guerrero scored on a three-run home run by Alejandro Kirk in the third inning and a Bo Bichette double in the fourth. During his 13-game hitting streak, Guerrero has gone 21-for-53 (.396), although he's knocked just three home runs and a double in that span. For the year, he's slashing a stellar .318/.409/.598 with 39 homers, 97 RBI, 104 runs scored and four stolen bases across 580 plate appearances.

Mountcastle is dealing with a sore foot after fouling a ball off it, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The slugger is available off the bench Sunday against the Yankees, although manager Brandon Hyde figures to let him rest before returning home for a series against Kansas City. Mountcastle should be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Mountcastle is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Mountcastle sits following an 0-for-5, three-strikeout performance Saturday that lowered his average to .282 in the last 10 games. Trey Mancini is starting at first base Sunday, with DJ Stewart filling in as the designated hitter.

Vaughn is not starting Sunday's game against the Royals, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Vaughn has struggled with a .108 average and no extra-base hits in his last 10 games. Jose Abreu is the designated hitter Sunday, with Gavin Sheets getting a start at first base.

Casas went 2-for-3 with two walks, two home runs and four RBI for Double-A Portland on Saturday.

Casas had been in an extended power drought since the middle of July, hitting just one homer over 20 games (66 at-bats), but the Red Sox's No. 1 prospect busted out this weekend. Including the three home runs he belted during Friday's doubleheader, Casas has five in the last two days.

Santana went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday in a loss to the White Sox.

Santana clubbed a 441-foot solo shot in the sixth inning for the Royals' final run. The long ball snapped 35-game streak without a homer for the veteran, during which he batted only .185 with a mere five RBI over 130 at-bats. Santana has recently been dealing with a hip injury, so Saturday's power display could be a sign that he is feeling better.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a home run, a single, a walk and four RBI in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Twins.

Diaz plated a run with an RBI single in the first inning before smashing a three-run homer off Andrew Albers in the second to bust the game wide open. The production is nice to see from the 30-year-old, as he went 1-for-11 in his first three games in September after he spent his last five games of August hitting .357.
