Olson (hand) went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Fresno on Sunday.

Olson has now hit safely in three straight rehab games and has a pair of RBI during that stretch. The 25-year-old is likely to be evaluated Monday for a possible activation Tuesday.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Abreu tied the ballgame in the sixth inning with a solo blast to center, but Boston would erupt for seven runs in the eighth to take the series finale. The 32-year-old continues to swing a hot bat, improving his average from .218 to .291 while slugging four homers and notching 16 RBI over his last 11 games.

Dixon went 1-for-2 with a walk-off three-run home run in a 5-2 victory against the Royals on Sunday.

The 27-year-old entered the game in the eighth as a pinch hitter and then went deep in his second at-bat. It was his first hit in 13 at-bats and first homer of the year. Dixon is 7-for-24 (.292) with three extra-base hits, seven RBI and one run in nine games this season.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The lefty-hitting rookie checks out of the lineup for the first time since being promoted to the big leagues with southpaw John Means on the bump for Baltimore. After recording exactly one hit in each of his first five contests in the majors, Lowe saw the streak end with an 0-for-4 showing Saturday while Orioles starter Dylan Bundy twirled a gem.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a 15-2 loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.

The White Sox first baseman drove in both runs for the White Sox during the lopsided loss. That's now 32 RBI for Abreu, which puts him in the lead in the American League. Abreu is also batting .285 with seven home runs, 17 runs and two steals in 123 at-bats this season.

Santana went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

Santana's three-game homer streak may have come to an end Thursday, but he still came through with a home run in the eighth inning Saturday to give the Indians the lead for good. The 33-year-old is slashing .321/.429/.509 with five home runs, 19 RBI and a 19:20 BB:K in 30 games.

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, two RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Angels.

Gurriel took Trevor Cahill deep in the fourth inning for his second home run of the season. Prior to that, he provided an RBI triple in the second inning, his second three-bagger of the season. It was a rare power display for Gurriel, as he has just a .409 slugging percentage through 125 plate appearances this season.

Olson (hand) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as early as Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Olson began his minor-league rehab assignment Wednesday and will be evaluated for potential activation after Sunday's game with Triple-A Las Vegas. The 25-year-old suffered a broken hamate bone in his right hand just before the start of the regular season, while the A's acquired Kendrys Morales to help fill the void at first base.

Cron went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in the sixth inning of a 7-3 win over the Yankees on Saturday.

Cron homered off J.A. Happ to provide the Twins with a 4-0 lead. The 29-year-old is slashing just .221/.276/.442, and even with this effort is just 6-for-39 since April 22. Cron now has six home runs and 17 RBI on the season.

Bour is not starting Saturday against southpaw Wade Miley and the Astros.

Bour has only started twice against a lefty this season. Albert Pujols will be the first baseman Saturday, with Jonathan Lucroy serving as the designated hitter.
