Gurriel (ankle) did not play in Sunday's series finale against the Mariners.

Gurriel has been bothered by a right ankle injury and will get a couple of off days before the Astros journey to Colorado for a two-game set beginning Tuesday.

Diaz went 3-for-4 with three doubles and three runs scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over Texas.

Diaz was a nightmare for Texas pitching all afternoon. It was the first time this season he's collected three extra-base hits in one contest. The solid day puts his OPS at .854 alongside 28 extra-base knocks and 40 runs scored on the year.

Cabrera was a late scratch from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays due to lower-back tightness, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Along with Cabrera, Rougned Odor (hamstring) was scratched ahead of the contest, leaving Texas with a short bench for the series finale. The team is likely viewing Cabrera's injury as a day-to-day situation in advance of Monday's series opener with the Angels.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

Diaz snapped out of an 0-for-11 funk with the two-hit day, his first multi-hit effort since the final game before he went on the injured list. Despite the aforementioned brief slump he endured over his first two games back, Diaz is hitting .316 overall in June, raising his average 20 points to .276 since the calendar flipped.

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

Guerrero will get some routine maintenance following a stretch of 13 consecutive starts at either third base or designated hitter. The rookie connected on his eighth home run of the season -- a solo shot -- in Saturday's 7-5 win.

Voit (abdomen) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox in London but was able to take batting practice prior to the contest, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

Manager Aaron Boone said Voit reported to the team Sunday "feeling good," despite having been forced to exit Saturday's 17-13 win with abdomen tightness on his left side. While the skipper said the Yankees would likely stay away from him off the bench in the series finale, Voit's ability to get some swings in Sunday offers optimism that he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. DJ LaMahieu will fill in for Voit at first base.

Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Rays.

The Rangers could do little against Tampa Bay left-hander Brendan McKay, who carried a perfect game into the sixth inning. Once McKay was done, Texas batters managed to string some hits together in the final two innings, including Cabrera's leadoff double in the eighth inning. He later came home on a wild pitch. Cabrera is 1-for-7 in the two games since returning from a three-game suspension.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 and delivered a walkoff RBI double to lift the Astros over the Mariners on Saturday. He's also dealing with an ankle injury and won't be in the lineup Sunday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Manager AJ Hinch said Gurriel was "basically operating on one leg" when he hit the game-winning double, but he nonetheless insisted on remaining in the game. It's the second straight walkoff for the 35-year-old after he hit a 10th-inning homer Friday. Gurriel will have some additional time to recover thanks to Monday's scheduled off day.

Voit was removed from Saturday's game versus the Red Sox with tightness in the left side of his abdomen, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Voit suffered the injury while rounding first base when stretching a single into a double, though it initially appeared to be a hamstring issue. The 28-year-old said he hopes to avoid the injured list, and the team will decide whether an MRI is necessary depending on how he feels Sunday. Edwin Encarnacion and DJ LeMahieu would be the likely options to fill in at first base should Voit be forced to miss time. According to Erik Boland of Newsday, manager Aaron Boone indicated it's unlikely Voit will be in the lineup Sunday, though he wouldn't rule out using him off the bench, which bodes well for Voit's prognosis.

Voit exited Saturday's game against the Red Sox in the fifth inning with a lower-body injury -- likely to his hamstring -- that he suffered while rounding first base while legging out a double, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

It looked like the type of injury that could lead to a stint on the injured list, especially with the All-Star break right around the corner and the Yankees holding a comfortable lead in the AL East. If Voit misses time, Edwin Encarnacion and DJ LeMahieu would be options to start at first base, which would lead to more starts for Gio Urshela.
