Gurriel will test his hamstring Monday with the goal of returning to the lineup Tuesday or Wednesday versus the Athletics, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Gurriel exited Friday's game against the Mariners with left hamstring discomfort and has been shut down for the weekend. Aledmys Diaz has covered for him at first base, but it doesn't sound as though he's expected to miss too many more games.

Cron is not starting Sunday against Cleveland, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Cron owns a solid .250/.321/.563 slash line over his last 13 games, hitting four homers over that stretch. Ehire Adrianza will get the start at first base in his absence.

Abreu went 1-for-1 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Angels.

Abreu was also hit by pitches twice and had a sacrifice fly in the game. The home run was his 30th of the season, and he became the fourth White Sox player to record at least four seasons with 30 home runs and 100 RBI, joining Frank Thomas (eight times), Paul Konerko (five) and Magglio Ordonez (four). The four RBI vaulted him to the top of the AL with 111 runs driven in.

Olson went 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, two runs, and a walk in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Tigers.

The monster night began as Olson scored the tying run in the fourth inning on a Ramon Laureano single. He then homered off Tigers starter Jordan Zimmermann in the fifth inning and added his two-run single in the sixth. The first baseman is on a 10-game hitting streak, batting .390 (16-for-41) with three homers, seven RBI and 10 runs scored in that span. For the year, Olson is slashing .275/.359/.544, matching his career high with 29 homers and adding 73 RBI and 61 runs in 108 games.

Gurriel (hamstring) won't play this weekend and needs a few more days to recover, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gurriel is dealing with hamstring discomfort, an injury which forced him to leave Friday's game against the Mariners. Aledmys Diaz starts in his place at first base Saturday and appears to be in line for at least another start or two.

Gurriel left Friday's game with left hamstring discomfort and will rest for at least one game. Aledmys Diaz starts at first base in his absence, batting fifth.

O'Hearn will sit against lefty Caleb Smith and the Marlins on Saturday.

O'Hearn has started against just one of the last 21 lefties the Royals have faced. Ryan McBroom starts at first base Saturday.

Gurriel left Friday's game against Seattle with left hamstring discomfort, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Gurriel exited the game after beating out a fielder's choice. He's considered day-to-day. Aledmys Diaz could start at first base if Gurriel is forced to miss time.

Dixon went 1-for-3 with a walk and solo home run Thursday against the Royals.

Dixon began a power barrage for the Tigers in the fourth inning, taking Glenn Sparkman deep for his 15th home run of the season. He hasn't served as an everyday starter for the Tigers of late, sitting in three of the team's past seven games. Despite that, he's been on a decent run in that span, collecting two multi-hit games while also smacking three doubles, driving in four, and scoring two runs. Overall, Dixon has managed a .250/.291/.451 line across 374 plate appearances this season.

Manager Alex Cora said the Red Sox are not considering promoting Dalbec, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Even with Michael Chavis (shoulder/side) expected to miss the remainder of the season, it sounds like the Red Sox are content finishing out the season with Brock Holt and Marco Hernandez as their options at the keystone. Thus, the 24-year-old Dalbec, who is slashing .239/.356/.460 with 27 home runs and 73 RBI between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket this season (135 games), will likely have to wait until 2020 to make his big-league debut.
