White went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Friday's loss to the Padres.

White got the Mariners on the scoreboard with a 403-foot solo blast against Pierce Johnson in the bottom of the eighth inning. The long ball was the sixth of the year for the 24-year-old, who is batting .177/.256/.340 overall.

Dalbec is not in the lineup Friday against the Yankees, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Dalbec started the past four games and will receive a day off after going 2-for-15 with 10 strikeouts. Michael Chavis receives the start at first base while J.D. Martinez takes over in left field.

Naylor is out of the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

Naylor has two hits in his past 18 at-bats and will take a seat for the second time in the past three games. Jordan Luplow receives the start in left field for Cleveland, batting seventh.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and two runs during a win over the Orioles in the second game of a doubleheader Thursday.

Lowe's fifth-inning hit was a big one, as it snapped a 6-6 tie and ignited a four-run rally for the Rays in the seven-inning contest. The 25-year-old has been seeing regular playing time at first base in the absence of Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) and making good use of it, hitting .409 (9-for-22) with a double, three home runs, nine RBI, four walks, one steal and seven runs over his last seven games.

Voit went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Blue Jays.

His fourth-inning blast, one of a club-record five the Yankees launched in the fourth inning, was Voit's fourth in the last three days and his league-leading 20th of the year. The power surge has boosted his slash line to .283/.342/.659, and the 29-year-old is now up to 46 RBI through 46 games.

Abreu went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two RBI in Thursday's victory over the Twins.

Abreu slugged a solo homer to center during the fourth inning, and he beat out an infield single to drive in a run in the seventh, tying the game at three. Abreu has homered in back-to-back contests and is currently enjoying a six-game hitting streak.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Twins.

Abreu's fourth-inning homer was one of just two hits the White Sox had in the game. It was his 16th home run of the season, to go with 49 RBI, 37 runs scored and an excellent .327/.367/.629 slash line in 49 contests.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Voit has been a tremendous source of power all season, but he now has three home runs across the first two games of the team's series against Toronto. He came to the plate with runners on first and second in the sixth inning and slugged his 19th long ball of the campaign over the left field wall. Overall, Voit has a stellar .280/.341/.643 line with 45 RBI and 35 runs scored across 185 plate appearances.

Naylor is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

Naylor will once again head to the bench with southpaw Jon Lester taking the mound for Chicago. Oscar Mercado will work in left field Wednesday for Cleveland.

Diaz played catch Wednesday, but manager Kevin Cash acknowledged the corner infielder has been slow to progress from his strained right hamstring, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

While it's encouraging that Diaz was at least able to get in some on-field activity, his return from the 10-day injured list shouldn't be considered imminent until he's able to run the bases without any discomfort. With Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) recently joining Diaz on the IL, the Rays will rely on Nate Lowe, Joey Wendle and Mike Brosseau to pick up more work at either first or third base.
