Manager Charlie Montoyo said Tellez (head) is feeling good and should rejoin the lineup for one or both games of Thursday's doubleheader with the Phillies, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Tellez is out of the lineup for a second straight day in Wednesday's series finale with the Orioles after he was on the receiving end of an elbow to the head in Monday's contest. While Tellez is continuing to go through the concussion protocol, he doesn't appear to have been diagnosed with a concussion at any point and may just be withheld from the starting nine as a precaution. Tellez is batting .218 with three home runs across 61 plate appearances this season.

Tellez (head) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Tellez has yet to clear the concussion protocol after being hit in the head by an elbow while he was playing first base Monday, so he'll be on the bench for a second game in a row. Since the Blue Jays have thus far resisted placing Tellez on the injured list, the club is seemingly optimistic that the 25-year-old will clear protocol in short order.

Voit went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Rays.

He took Blake Snell deep in the fifth inning, but the Yankees were already in a 6-1 hole. Voit has hit safely in eight straight games, adding four homers and 10 RBI to his ledger during that stretch, and on the year he's now hitting .284 with eight long balls and 17 RBI.

Abreu went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Tigers.

Abreu posted his third three-hit performance of the season and he has now hit safely in seven of Chicago's last 10 games while reaching base safely in all but one of those contests. The veteran slugger has gone 11-for-36 (.305) with two homers and eight RBI in that 10-game stretch.

Santana went 2-for-5 with a home run, five RBI and one run scored Tuesday against the Pirates.

Santana drove in five of Cleveland's six runs Tuesday. He delivered a two-RBI single in the third inning, but came through with the decisive runs on a three-run homer in the 10th frame. He now has two long balls on the season, with this being his first since July 28. After his big performance, Santana has a .194/.414/.306 line to go along with 12 runs scored and nine RBI across 99 plate appearances this season.

Tellez (head) will not start Tuesday's game against Baltimore.

Tellez entered the concussion protocol after getting hit in the head at first base Monday. Randal Grichuk will serve as the designated hitter Tuesday, with Anthony Alford taking Grichuk's usual spot in center field.

White went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 11-9 loss to the Dodgers.

White took Dodgers starter Ross Stripling deep in the third inning for a two-run blast. In the eighth inning, White tried to get the Mariners on the comeback trail with a solo shot, but that would be the last run of the game. The first baseman now has four homers, nine RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base while batting .139 through 23 games.

Voit went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 win over the Red Sox.

Voit evidently saw the ball well at the dish Monday evening, launching a two-run blast in the second and a solo shot in the fifth, marking his sixth and seventh long balls of the year. The 29-year-old first baseman is slashing .281/.343/.625 with eight extra-base hits and 15 RBI in 18 contests this season.

Tellez left Monday's game against the Orioles after being hit in the head at first base, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Tellez has entered concussion protocol and is being considered day-to-day by the Blue Jays. Brandon Drury could see additional at-bats at DH if Tellez is forced to miss substantial time.

Casas joined the Red Sox's player pool Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Casas is an interesting prospect, but he's highly unlikely to help the Red Sox this season, as he's played just two games above Low-A. Still, getting the chance to work with the team's coaching staff will be important for the 2018 first-round pick's development this season. In 118 games at Low-A Greenville last year, Casas hit .254/.349/.472 with 19 homers.
