Calhoun went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday in the Angels' 6-5 loss to the Yankees.

Calhoun's fifth long ball of the season gave the Angels a 5-0 advantage, but the bullpen couldn't hold the lead as Los Angeles lost for the ninth time in 10 games. Though Calhoun has been largely disappointing this season, he deserves little blame for the team's ongoing struggles, as he's provided three home runs during that losing skid while reaching base at a .341 clip.

Guerrero will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo ahead of Friday's game against the Athletics, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

There were some reports over the weekend that Guerrero would be called up Tuesday, but instead he'll end up making his MLB debut Friday. The 20-year-old continued to tear it up at Buffalo since recovering from the oblique injury sustained in spring training by slashing .360/.429/.640 in 28 plate appearances. Guerrero should slot into an everyday role at third base and occupy a prominent spot in the batting order.

Bour is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees.

Bour was able to hit his second home run of the year Tuesday, a grand slam off Chad Green, but will head to the bench against lefty CC Sabathia. Bour has appeared in the lineup twice against lefties this season and should continue to have days off against southpaws going forward. Albert Pujols will get the start at first and hit cleanup while Kevan Smith will check into the lineup as the designated hitter.

Gurriel is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Gurriel has started 13 straight games for the Astros, slashing .235/.298/.392 with a homer and seven RBI during that stretch. Aledmys Diaz is starting at first base and hitting seventh in his stead Wednesday.

Olson (hand) is expected to begin a rehab assignment around the end of the Athletics' next road trip, which runs from April 26 to May 5, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Olson appears to be still on track for a mid-May return. He's expected to play in a week's worth of rehab games, which could put his return date sometime around the second weekend of the month.

Bour went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Yankees.

His eighth-inning blast off Chad Green made things interesting, but the Angels couldn't complete the comeback even with Aroldis Chapman getting the night off. Bour has had a rough start to his Angels tenure, slashing .203/.311/.344 with only two homers and 10 RBI in 19 games.

Voit went 2-for-4 with a walk, two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Angels.

He book-ended the Yankees' offense on the night, taking Chris Stratton deep in the first inning before punishing a splitter from Sam Freeman in the eighth. Voit has now hit safely in 10 straight games with three long balls in the last two, but his .235/.356/.506 slash line on the year still leaves plenty of room for improvement.

Tellez went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a grand slam in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Giants.

Tellez gave the Blue Jays a fighting chance with his 432-foot grand slam in the eighth inning, but the offense was ultimately unable to tie the game. The 24-year-old is 7-for-15 with two doubles, two home runs and eight RBI over his last four games.

Dixon went 3-for-4 with a three-run double in a 4-2 victory during the second game of a doubleheader against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old only pinch ran in the first game and then started the nightcap. The way he's swinging the bat, though, he's making his case for more playing time. In three MLB games this season, he's 5-for-7 (.714) with two doubles and four RBI. It's still way too early to draw any conclusions about the rest of Dixon's 2019 season, but he's off to a strong start.

White (hip flexor) will be activated off the minor-league injured list to start Wednesday at Double-A Arkansas, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

White has been battling the hip flexor issue over the past couple weeks but is primed to make his return for the Travelers. The 21-year-old slashed .308/.367/.385 over seven games before sustaining the injury.
