Abreu went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI in Thursday's win over Tigers in the second leg of the doubleheader.

The right-handed hitter provided the White Sox with more of a cushion following his single to knock in two off Michael Fulmer in the fourth inning. The reigning MVP is now slashing .222/.308/.411 in 2021.

Olson underwent an X-ray on his eye Wednesday that revealed no broken bones, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Olson suffered an eye injury during batting practice prior to Thursday's game against the Rays and was scratched from the lineup as a result. However, he was diagnosed with a bruise after his X-ray. It appears as though Olson has avoided a major injury, although it's not yet clear whether he could return for Friday's series opener against Baltimore.

Olson isn't in Thursday's lineup against the Rays due to an eye injury, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Olson was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup, and manager Bob Melvin revealed that the first baseman hit a ball in batting practice that ricocheted off his eye. He'll have an X-ray, the results of which should give us a better idea of his prognosis.

Olson was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays for undisclosed reasons.

Whether Olson is dealing with something that will require an extended absence remains to be seen. Mitch Moreland will enter the lineup as his replacement, batting sixth and playing first base.

Voit (knee) will take live at-bats at the Yankees' alternate training site Thursday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Voit has been participating in defensive drills and running outside recently, and he'll now face live pitching for the first time since undergoing knee surgery in late March. The 30-year-old appears to be trending in the right direction, but it's not yet clear when he'll return to game action.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Tampa Bay will go with Joey Wendle and Mike Brosseau as its corner infielders while Diaz takes a seat in the series finale. Diaz had started each of the past seven games, going 5-for-23 while drawing six walks.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Pirates.

Santana walked and scored on a Jorge Soler double in the first inning. In the fourth, Santana got aboard with a single and scored on a Soler single to extend the Royals' lead to 6-0. Santana's third run came in the sixth inning after he reached on an error. The first baseman has five home runs, 19 RBI, 13 runs scored, a stolen base and a .244/.364/.476 slash line through 23 games.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI on Wednesday against the Angels.

Lowe drove in a run in the first inning on an infield hit. That extended his hitting streak to five games, and his knock later in the contest gave him three multi-hit efforts in his last six starts. Lowe has thrived with everyday playing time to this point, hitting .280/.368/.505 with six home runs, 11 runs scored and 22 RBI across 106 plate appearances.

Tellez is expected to be recalled whenever George Springer (quadriceps) is able to play the outfield regularly, Gregor Chisholm of the Toronto Star reports.

Tellez was sent to the alternate site Wednesday because Springer is only able to serve as the designated hitter at the moment, leaving Tellez with nowhere to play. Chisholm says Springer's move to full-time outfield work isn't imminent, so we probably won't see Tellez back in the majors until early-to-mid May.

Tellez was optioned to the Blue Jays' alternate training site Wednesday.

Even with Tellez hitting .183 with one home run and a 15:2 K:BB in 60 at-bats, this is a bit of a surprise move. With George Springer limited to designated-hitter duties, the Jays are opting to keep Jonathan Davis on the active roster in the short term to maintain outfield depth.
