Guerrero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Guerrero will head to the bench for the final game of the homestand after starting each of the previous eight contests and going 10-for-32 with four extra-base hits and five RBI. Brandon Drury will spell Guerrero at third base and bat ninth.

Cabrera is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Athletics.

Cabrera is hitting the ball well lately -- he's 11-for-26 in June so far -- but will sit out the nightcap as Logan Forsythe starts at third base and bats fifth for Texas.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer during Oakland's 10-5 loss to the Rangers in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday.

Olson plated the first two Oakland runs with a homer off Joe Palumbo in the fourth inning, and all eight of his home runs have come in the 29 games since he returned from injury May 7. He now holds a .236/.317/.509 slash line for the year.

Voit is not in the lineup Saturday against Cleveland.

Voit gets his first day off in nearly a month and just his third all season. He's been required to carry a heavy load as the Yankees have dealt with a long list of injuries, though he could get more opportunities to rest as the team gets healthier. DJ LeMahieu starts at first base in his absence.

Calhoun went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Mariners.

Calhoun swatted a homer off starter Marco Gonzales in the second inning to increase his season total to 13. The 31-year-old outfielder is off to a much better start than in 2018, but he still has some work to do. Overall, Calhoun's batting .239/.328/.486 with 37 runs scored and 25 RBI.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's win over the Rangers.

Olson singled home a run in the first inning to get Oakland on the board, and he registered his sixth double of the season in the later innings. The 25-year-old first baseman has struggled to hit for average so far this season (.236), though he has smacked seven home runs in just 29 games.

Diaz went 3-for-5 with a run in a win over the Tigers on Thursday.

Diaz was a thorn in the side of Tigers pitching throughout the contest, generating his first multi-hit effort since May 19 in the process. The 27-year-old had gone just 1-for-7 in his first two games back from a hand injury, but he's now 4-for-8 with a pair of walks and runs apiece over the last two contests.

Dixon went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Rays.

Dixon entered the game on a mini 1-for-13 slump over his past three contests, but he snapped out of the funk and raised his batting average to .296 with the two hits. A high BABIP is fueling a lot of Dixon's success, so some regression is likely coming, but he figures to hold onto a regular role with the Tigers as long as he keeps hitting.

Olson is not in the lineup Thursday against the Angels.

Olson has started the past 14 games for Oakland, slashing .222/.323/.500 with four homers and a 32.2 percent strikeout rate during that stretch. With left-hander Tyler Skaggs on the mound Thursday, Mark Canha is starting at first base and hitting sixth in place of Olson.

Tellez is not in the lineup Thursday against the Yankees.

Tellez will sit for a second straight game as Randal Grichuk gets the nod at designated hitter in Thursday's series finale. It's unclear if Tellez is dealing with an injury -- he missed time over the weekend with a balky hamstring -- or if his recent struggles (.133 with a .388 OPS over his last 10 games) have prompted the Blue Jays to use their DH spot as a way to give position players a day off their feet.
