Guerrero (illness) will start at third base and bat fifth Sunday against the Orioles.

Guerrero was forced to exit Saturday's 8-1 early due to a stomach illness, but he apparently made enough progress overnight for the Blue Jays to give him the green light to play in their final game before the All-Star break. The rookie, who has gone just 5-for-29 at the dish over his last 10 games, will look to end the first half of a high note before taking part in the Home Run Derby on Monday in Cleveland.

Lowe will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and will bat fifth Sunday against the Yankees.

After he was on the bench in his first game back with the big club Thursday, Lowe has started in all three of the Rays' subsequent contests. The lefty-hitting slugger will notably draw into the lineup for the series finale, even with the Rays facing a southpaw (James Paxton) for the second straight day. Lowe was able to overcome the lefty-on-lefty matchup with CC Sabathia on Saturday, going deep for the second time of the series in the seventh inning of the Rays' 4-3 win.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Mariners.

Olson's blast off Mariners starter Marco Gonzales extended the Athletics' lead to 2-0 in the third inning. Olson has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, batting .266 with five homers and nine RBI in that span. For the season, he's hitting .250/.332/.557 with 18 homers, 35 RBI and 32 runs scored in 56 games.

Wade (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Wade dislocated his right thumb while attempting to catch a home run Saturday against the Rangers. He'll get 10 days off to heal. Jake Cave was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move.

Guerrero left Saturday's game against the Orioles with a stomach ache, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Guerrero went 1-for-3 with a run scored before leaving late in the game. The severity of the illness isn't clear, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Guerrero sit Sunday in order to get a full five days of rest over the All-Star break.

Wade left Saturday's game against the Rangers with a dislocated right thumb, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Wade suffered the injury while attempting to catch a home run. It's not clear how much time he's expected to miss.

Cron had been dealing with his thumb injury well prior to being placed on the injured list Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Speaking to the media Saturday, manager Rocco Baldelli described Cron's injury as more than just typical soreness and stated that the injury had been affecting Cron's swing. While the team is optimistic that he can make "significant progress" in the 10 days he will remain out of action, Baldelli also cautioned that the injury could linger.

Voit (abdomen) remains optimistic that he can rejoin the lineup to begin the team's first series after the All-Star break, Coley Harvey of ESPN.comreports.

Voit was placed on the injured list Tuesday but has maintained that his absence will be brief. Based on comments from both himself and the team, it appears realistic that he could return for the Yankees' series against the Blue Jays on Friday.

Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in a 5-4 win over the Astros on Friday.

Calhoun launched a first-pitch fastball into the seats to take the lead off of Astros ace Justin Verlander in the third inning and followed that up with a double in the fifth. The 31-year-old's success against the Cy Young frontrunner wasn't expected, as the right fielder entered the contest just 5-for-43 with 23 strikeouts in his career against Verlander. Calhoun has nine hits, seven RBI and two home runs in his last 23 at-bats during what may be his best five-game stretch of the season so far. He now owns a respectable .255 batting average, with 11 home runs and 31 RBI against right-handed pitching this year. In what has been the most productive first half to a season in his career, Calhoun will look to build on his .238 batting average, 19 home runs, 51 runs and 47 RBI as the Angels battle for a playoff spot during the second half.

Wade will start in left field and bat sixth Saturday against the Rangers.

Wade was recalled from Triple-A Rochester prior to Saturday's game to take the place of the injured C.J. Cron (thumb), who landed on the injured list. He'll immediately enter the starting lineup, but is unlikely to see an everyday role given the presence of Luis Arraez and Marwin Gonzalez.
