Olson left Monday's game after he was hit on his left hand by a pitch in the seventh inning, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Olson stayed in the game initially but was lifted before the bottom of the eighth inning. Seth Brown replaced Olson at first base. Olson went 0-for-2 with an RBI and a strikeout prior to exiting.

Vaughn will sit Monday against Cleveland.

While the White Sox made the commendable decision to include Vaughn on their Opening Day roster instead of manipulating his service time, there's still been no indication that they intend to use him all that often. He's yet to start a single game as a designated hitter due to Yermin Mercedes' early-season tear. He's started five times in 10 games in left field, though he's made just a single start against a righty. He remains stuck on the short side of a platoon Monday, with Nick Williams getting the nod in his absence.

Voit is "doing really well" in his recovery from knee surgery and could begin baseball activities next week, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

The slugger is slated for a routine post-op visit with a doctor Monday, which could give more clarity about when he can resume working out. Manager Aaron Boone stated Sunday that Voit won't begin baseball activities for "at least another week" while indicating that the first baseman's recovery is going "as expected." Voit appears to still be on track for a mid-May return to action.

White (quadriceps) is back in the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

White sat for three straight games with a quadriceps issue, though he was able to serve as a defensive replacement in Sunday's contest. He'll look to wake his bat up Monday, as he's begun the year with just three hits in his first 23 at-bats.

France went 2-for-3 with two runs and was also hit by a pitch twice in a win over the Twins on Sunday.

The 26-year-old now sports a stellar .439 on-base percentage following Sunday's busy day, extending a favorable pattern he's consistently exhibited since arriving via trade from the Padres at the deadline last season. France has offered some solid power production early as well, lacing a pair of doubles and a home run across his first 41 plate appearances.

White (quadriceps) was able to serve as a defensive replacement at first base in Sunday's win over the Twins. He did not log a plate appearance.

The young first baseman had missed the last three games due to his quadriceps injury, so Sunday's appearance is a sign he may be ready to return to the starting lineup as early as Monday for the start of a four-game set against the Orioles. White's 2021 has started much like his difficult 2020 rookie campaign, as the 24-year-old is slashing .130/.167/.217 across his first 24 plate appearances.

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

The Rays' heavy rotation policy won't be changing any time soon, though Diaz has managed to find himself in the lineup far more often than not. He'll sit Monday for just the second time in the season's first 10 games. Yoshi Tsutsugo will start at first base in his absence.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Santana took White Sox closer Liam Hendriks deep for the game-tying homer in the ninth inning. The 35-year-old Santana also drew a walk for the first time since April 3. The first baseman has a .185/.313/.333 slash line with a homer, four RBI, four runs scored and five walks across 32 plate appearances this season.

White (quadriceps) will go through a pregame workout before the Mariners determine if he'll be available off the bench for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Jose Marmolejos is picking up a third straight start at first base in White's stead, but the Mariners remain hopeful that the latter can contribute as a pinch hitter. White's left quad still presented issues for him when he tested it prior to Saturday's game, so he may need to demonstrate some progress Sunday to improve his chances of avoiding a trip to the injured list.

White (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

White's strained left quad will keep him on the bench for a third straight game, allowing Jose Marmolejos to pick up another start at first base. The Mariners are still treating White as day-to-day, but a trip to the IL will grow more likely if he remains on the bench for Monday's series opener in Baltimore.
