Naylor went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Naylor provided all the offense Cleveland was able to muster in this one, as he took Ross Stripling deep in the fifth inning for his fifth long ball of the campaign. The right fielder is trying to bounce back from an ugly stretch, as he entered this game with just one hit over his previous 16 at-bats.

Kirilloff went 3-for-4 with three singles and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Kansas City.

Despite a productive day at the plate, Kirilloff didn't get involved in any run-scoring plays. He produced three of Minnesota's five hits in the game, although the team also drew seven walks. The outfielder is slashing .256/.289/.474 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored and no stolen bases in 83 plate appearances this year. He's mainly hitting between third and fifth in the order, which should put him in a good position to get involved on offense.

White (hip) resumed taking swings this weekend but isn't ready for a rehab assignment, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old resumed baseball activities Thursday and has progressed to making swings, but he needs to ramp up his work a bit more before embarking on a rehab assignment. White doesn't have an official timeline for his return but shouldn't be expected to be activated until at least the second week of June.

Mountcastle is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mountcastle missed a few games due to a hand injury before rejoining the lineup for Saturday's doubleheader, and he went 1-for-6 a triple, a run and five strikeouts across the twin bill. Trey Mancini (elbow) will serve as the designated hitter while Tyler Nevin starts at first base Sunday.

Gurriel (finger) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 36-year-old was scratched from Saturday's lineup with left middle finger inflammation, and he remains absent from Sunday's starting nine. It's unclear if Gurriel will be available off the bench for the series finale.

Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Voit (oblique) is expected to be out for at least a few weeks, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

While Boone wasn't especially specific in providing a timeline for the slugger's return, it appears clear that Voit will miss more than the minimum 10 days as he recovers from the oblique issue. Look for Mike Ford and DJ LeMahieu to continue to get the bulk of the time at first base in Voit's absence.

Diaz is not in the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz is 2-for-21 with six walks over his past six games and will take a seat versus right-hander Zach Eflin. Ji-Man Choi will start at first base while Randy Arozarena serves as the designated hitter Sunday.

Abreu went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in the win over the Orioles in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader.

Abreu slammed his 11th home run of the season off John Means with two outs in the fifth inning to extend the White Sox's lead. This came after he plated three runs in the first game of the doubleheader. The first baseman leads the team in home runs and 45 RBI. He is slashing .271/.357/.518 in 198 appearances. Abreu has 10 RBI in his last five games.

Gurriel was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Padres due to left middle finger inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Taylor Jones will enter the lineup at first base Saturday. Gurriel had started in each of the last 12 games, but it's not yet clear whether his finger injury will force him to miss additional time.

Mountcastle (hand) will bat sixth and serve as the designated hitter Saturday against the White Sox, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mountcastle hasn't played since getting hit in the hand Tuesday against the Twins. He wasn't going to be in the lineup Friday, but that game got postponed due to inclement weather. The extra day of rest is apparently all he needed to get healthy.
