Abreu went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Twins.

His sixth-inning shot was the only offense the White Sox could generate against Kyle Gibson. Abreu is slashing .267/.320/.530 with 13 homers and 42 RBI this season.

Voit went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in the first game of a doubleheader against the Royals on Saturday.

Voit took Scott Barlow deep in the seventh inning to break a 3-3 tie in a blast measured at 470 feet. The 28-year-old is 16-for-39 over his last nine games to raise his slash line to .266/.376/.516 across 184 at-bats this season.

Raley needs surgery on a dislocated tendon in his left ankle, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Raley has been on the 7-day injured list with what had been termed an ankle strain, but the issue is apparently worse than that. Recovery from the procedure is expected to keep him out for a few months.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

With lefty J.A. Happ starting for the Yankees, O'Hearn will begin the twin bill on the bench. New York has not yet announced who will start Game 2, but it may be righty Chance Adams, in which case O'Hearn should be in Saturday evening's lineup.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a three-run home home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Mariners.

Olson now has five homers and a .250 average to go with eight RBI and 11 runs scored in 18 games. Olson missed about a month with a hand injury, but had returned to a mostly everyday role at first base. Over his last four games, he's gone 6-for-15 with two homers, two doubles, four RBI and four runs scored.

Calhoun isn't in the starting lineup Friday against the Rangers.

Calhoun will get the night off with a southpaw (Drew Smyly) set to take the mound for Texas. Brian Goodwin draws the start in right field and David Fletcher draws the start in left with Calhoun out of the mix.

Cron went 5-for-6 with a solo home run, two doubles and three runs scored in Thursday's 16-7 demolition of the Angels.

After failing to collect a hit in the first two games of the series against his former team, Cron went off Thursday with his third game of four or more hits in May. He is slashing .325/.391/.675 for the month with eight homers and 16 RBI and is set up to shine as a key cog in the middle of Minnesota's potent offense.

Voit went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, double and two runs scored Thursday against the Orioles.

Voit took Miguel Castro deep in the eighth inning to record his 12th homer of the season. That came after he doubled and came around to score in the sixth inning, and he now has six extra-base hits in his last eight games. He's managed to raise his slugging percentage 33 points in that span, and he's now hitting .263/.376/.503 across 213 plate appearances for the season.

Diaz (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz has been out since Monday with a sore hand/wrist after getting hit by a pitch Sunday. He will be eligible to return May 30 against the Twins. Daniel Robertson, who is starting at the hot corner and hitting ninth Thursday, will likely get the bulk of the starts at third base in the short term.

Olson went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and a run in a win over the Indians on Wednesday.

Olson continued his recent stretch of hard contact Wednesday, as he now has six extra-base hits (two doubles, four home runs) over his last nine starts. The young slugger's previously injured hand, which was the cause of a 34-game absence earlier this year, appears to be back to full health, if Olson's offense since returning is any indication.
