Cron is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

In Saturday's 12-7 win, Cron delivered one of his better performances since returning from the injured list earlier this month, finishing 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI while also reaching base when he was hit by a pitch. Ehire Adrianza will draw the start at first base in the series finale in what merely amounts to a maintenance day for Cron after eight consecutive starts.

Olson, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a walk and a run in a win over the Astros on Saturday, is hitting .357 (10-for-28) with a double, three home runs, 10 RBI, two walks and four runs over his last seven games.

Olson has churned out five multi-hit games over that span, making it one of his most productive stretches of the season. The hot hitting already has the slugger just two RBI away from equaling the 15 he compiled during all of July while also pushing his average to a solid .260.

O'Hearn will start at first base and bat fifth Sunday against the Mets.

O'Hearn will enter the lineup for a fifth consecutive contest while Cheslor Cuthbert shifts across the diamond. Though he only sports a .410 OPS in 15 games since returning from Triple-A Omaha in late July, O'Hearn could continue to earn steady work with Cuthbert stuck in an 0-for-24 slump over the past six contests.

Voit (abdomen) will likely begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday and could return to the Yankees on their next homestand, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Voit was placed on the injured list with a sports hernia July 31 but avoided surgery and has recently been ramping up his rehab work. The Yankees begin a nine-game road trip Tuesday and will start their next home series Aug. 30 against Oakland, at which point Voit could rejoin the club.

Guerrero's MRI revealed inflammation in his left knee, but the rookie downplayed the injury Sunday as "nothing major," Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Guerrero will sit out Sunday's series finale against the Mariners but expects to avoid a stint on the injured list and return to the Toronto lineup "very soon," per Mitchell. The news comes as welcome relief for the Blue Jays, who may have been bracing for a worse outcome after the prized 20-year-old was sent in for tests after exiting Saturday's game. Toronto has an open date in the schedule Monday, leaving Tuesday's series opener in Los Angeles against the Dodgers as Guerrero's next opportunity to play.

Guerrero (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Guerrero's absence from the lineup doesn't come as a surprise since the Blue Jays have yet to publicize the results of the MRI he required on his left knee following his early departure from Saturday's 4-3 loss. News on that front should arrive later Sunday, but Brandon Drury will be tasked with covering third base in the rookie's stead in the series finale.

Guerrero (knee) will have an MRI on his left knee, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Guerrero left Saturday's game with an apparent injury to his knee. The severity of the injury and a possible timetable to return should become more clear Sunday following the MRI.

Santana went 3-for-4 with three RBI in a 6-5 loss to the Yankees on Saturday.

Santana recorded his fifth multi-hit game out of his last seven contests. The 33-year-old singled in each of his first three at-bats, driving in two runs in the first and one more in the fifth. Santana has an excellent .293/.414/.551 slash line with 29 homers and 78 RBI in 434 at-bats.

Guerrero exited Saturday's game against the Mariners in the top of the third inning with an undisclosed injury, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Brandon Drury replaced him at third base. It is unclear what the reason was for his removal, but it was likely some sort of injury.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over Seattle.

Guerrero launched a two-run homer in the third inning on a low, inside pitch that seemed closer to his shins than the plate to give his club a 5-2 lead, and Toronto never looked back. The 20-year-old slugger's last home run dated back to Aug. 1, so perhaps Friday night's performance is a sign that he's found his power stroke once again. After crushing six homers in the month of May, he's left the yard just eight times since.
