O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Indians, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Sitting against a right-handed starting pitcher for the second straight game, O'Hearn seems to have surrendered primary duties at first base to Hunter Dozier. The 27-year-old O'Hearn has gone 1-for-24 at the dish over his last eight games, dropping his season-long slash line to .206/.310/.320.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and three strikeouts in a 5-4 loss to the Astros in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Olson went deep in the third inning, giving the Athletics a 4-0 lead at the time. The first baseman is up to 11 long balls this year to go with 29 RBI and 22 runs scored in 40 games despite his .188/.312/.444 slash line.

Dalbec homered in both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies, going a combined 3-for-6 with a walk and four RBI.

The rookie feasted on the Phillies' setup crew, taking Tommy Hunter deep for a solo shot in the sixth inning of the matinee before launching a two-run shot off David Phelps in the same frame during the nightcap. The latter blast proved to be the game-winner, giving the Red Sox a split in the twin bill. Dalbec has now gone yard in four straight games, the longest homer streak by a rookie in franchise history, and he has five blasts in his first nine MLB games.

Mountcastle went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Mets.

Mountcastle smacked his fourth home run of the season, taking Michael Wacha deep in the fourth frame. He's recorded at least one RBI in five of his last six contests and is regularly hitting in the middle of the Orioles' lineup. Mountcastle has had a successful start to his major-league career, racking up a .339/.397/.607 line across 63 plate appearances.

Tellez will undergo an MRI on his right knee Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The 25-year-old began experiencing knee discomfort after stepping on a soft spot around the on-field bullpen, and the MRI will reveal the specifics of the injury. Tellez won't have a return timeline until the MRI results come back, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him receive Wednesday off regardless of the diagnosis.

France went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

The trade-deadline acquisition from the Padres came through yet again, delivering the third and fourth RBI of his four-game tenure with the Mariners. France's strong start, which doesn't yet include any extra-base hits but does feature three walks and two runs, supports the notion he should continue to enjoy an everyday role for the balance of the season.

Voit went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 12-7 loss to the Blue Jays.

Voit put the Yankees on the board early with a solo shot in the first inning, giving him 14 on the year. The 29-year-old slugger is up to 29 RBI with a strong .973 OPS across 150 plate appearances this season.

Lowe will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and will bat eighth Monday against the Nationals, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Lowe will be making his third straight start Monday, even those his early returns haven't been promising. Since his Sept. 1 callup, Lowe has gone 0-for-9 with two walks against five strikeouts in three games.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles in a loss to the Padres on Sunday.

A day after plating a pair of runs with the aid of a triple, Olson replicated the RBI total Sunday while accounting for all but one of the Athletics' runs on the afternoon. The slugger still sports an unsightly .195 average on the campaign, but perhaps his 5-for-8 tally over the last two games will ignite an offensive surge down the stretch for the 26-year-old.

Dalbec went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Dalbec homered for the second consecutive game, taking Robbie Ray deep in the fourth inning. He now has three home runs on the season, though he has struck out 14 times in 28 plate appearances to start his major-league career.
