O'Hearn is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.

O'Hearn has hit .429 with three homers over his last seven games. He'll sit in favor of the newly-promoted Ryan McBroom for Tuesday's contest.

Santana went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 11-3 win over the White Sox.

Santana's solo blast off Jace Fry in the sixth inning pushed the Indians' lead to four and went down as his 32nd home run of the season, leaving him just two shy of matching the career-best total he posted in 2016. The 33-year-old has been a good-power, low-average type for most of his career, but thanks to an elevated BABIP and 44.5 percent hard-hit rate, Santana has emerged as a legitimate four-category standout. He's currently sitting on a .292 average, which is 41 points above his career mark.

Mountcastle will not be promoted to the majors this season, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mountcastle enjoyed success in his first season with Triple-A Norfolk, slashing .310/.343/.527 with 25 home runs and 82 RBI in 126 games for the Tides, but he'll have to wait until 2020 to make his big-league debut. The 22-year-old doesn't walk much (4.4 percent walk rate) and isn't a great defender, but he makes solid contact and could reasonably hit .280 with 20-25 home runs once he reaches the majors.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Yankees on Sunday.

Olson extended his hitting streak to five games with his second homer over that span. The 25-year-old also has a pair of doubles during that stretch as he continues to add to an extra-base hit tally that currently stands at an impressive 48 over 439 plate appearances.

Gurriel (elbow) is back in action Monday against Milwaukee, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gurriel was scratched Sunday with a left elbow contusion, but the injury evidently wasn't particularly serious. Even with the lineup being one man short in a National League park, Gurriel will bat sixth and play first base.

Dixon is not in the lineup Monday against the Twins.

Dixon went 4-for-8 with three doubles over the weekend. Victor Reyes will start in left field Monday.

Tellez is not in the lineup Monday against Atlanta.

The Blue Jays can't use a designated hitter with the series being played in a National League park, leaving Tellez and Justin Smoak to fight for just one spot in the lineup. Smoak gets the call at first base on this occasion.

Guerrero will get the day off Monday against the Braves.

Guerrero's numbers have improved after a somewhat slow start to his big-league career. Over his last 37 games, he owns an excellent .350/.414/.591 slash line, striking out just 13.8 percent of the time. Brandon Drury starts at third base in his absence.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in the Rays' 8-2 win over the Indians on Sunday.

Lowe drew the start at DH after being called up earlier Sunday and did not disappoint, as his two-run bomb in the fourth inning proved to be the game-winning RBI. He was kept in the minors longer than his performance dictated because the Rays did not want to designate Ji-Man Choi or Jesus Aguilar for assignment, but now that rosters have expanded, Lowe should be in the lineup more often than not.

The Angels recalled Bour from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox. He struck out as a pinch hitter in his lone plate appearance.

Bour has crushed Triple-A pitching to the tune of a 1.104 OPS, but he was only playing in the Pacific Coast League in the first place because he mustered a .183/.269/.387 through 160 plate appearances with the Angels prior to being called up. Unless the Angels decide to shut down Albert Pujols and/or Shohei Ohtani at some point in September, Bour probably won't get many opportunities to improve upon his ugly season-long line.
