Tellez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Red Sox.

Tellez took Nathan Eovaldi deep in the third inning -- a monster blast into the right-field stands -- to record his third home run of the season. After being out of the lineup Tuesday with left-hander Chris Sale on the mound, Tellez returned to the lineup as the first baseman and batted fifth. Though he's striking out at nearly a 30 percent clip early on, Tellez has also shown he's capable of providing plenty of power; he holds a .310 ISO so far.

Santana went 3-for-3 with two RBI and two walks Thursday against the Tigers.

Santana reached base each time he batted Thursday, though he didn't record any extra-base hits. He's gotten off to a solid start early on, as this performance brought his on-base percentage to .521 through 48 plate appearances. His power has been a bit lacking, as indicated by a .150 ISO, though he has still been able to rack up counting stats as the team's cleanup hitter.

Olson (hand) took one-handed swings Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

He has been taking grounders and doing cardio over the past week as well, but he's not yet ready to take swings using his surgically repaired right hand. The first-base platoon of Kendrys Morales and Mark Canha will continue to operate for the next couple months while Olson is on the mend.

Bour went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Brewers.

The first baseman is still only slashing .154/.313/.256 through 11 games, but he's hit safely in four straight while collecting his only homer and four of his five RBI. Bour hit third with Mike Trout (groin) sidelined, which speaks as much to the sketchy nature of the lineup around the superstar as it does Bour's own skills, but the 30-year-old should continue to fill a prime spot in the batting order and get plenty of chances to heat up even after Trout is back in action.

Guerrero (oblique) will report to Triple-A Buffalo, according to Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com.

Guerrero is ready to join Buffalo after completing a four-game rehab stint with High-A Dunedin, going 4-for-15 with a double in those appearances. The tentative plan is for the 20-year-old to get his timing down with the Bisons before earning a promotion to the majors.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners.

As per usual, O'Hearn will hit the bench with a southpaw (Yusei Kikuchi) starting for the opposition. In his place, Frank Schwindel will start at first base and hit fifth.

Guerrero (oblique) went 1-for-3 and was hit by a pitch for High-A Dunedin on Tuesday.

It's not an impressive line in the box score, but it did represent a big step in Guerrero's recovery, as he was playing back-to-back games for the first time on his rehab stint. The 20-year-old is 4-for-15 with a double through four contests for Dunedin, and he may not be far away from a promotion to Triple-A Buffalo -- the final stop before his big-league debut.

Diaz is not in the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Diaz will head to the bench for Wednesday's series finale after starting the past five games, going 5-for-21 (.238) with a pair of homers and a stolen base in those contests. Daniel Robertson will man third base and hit seventh in this one, with Ji-Man Choi at first base and Avisail Garcia at DH.

Cabrera is expected to return to the starting lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Cabrera was given an off day Tuesday after a whirlwind couple of days in which he flew from Anaheim (Calif.) to Miami (Fla.) to be sworn in as an American citizen before returning to Arizona on Tuesday afternoon.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Astros.

Voit took Gerrit Cole deep in the first inning for his third home run of the season. He is now riding a five-game hitting streak, though he has failed to record multiple hits in any game and his average still sits at just .195. Encouragingly, he has only struck out at a 22 percent clip to begin the season and has paired that with a strong .340 on-base percentage. Batting third in the Yankees' lineup due to injuries, Voit should rack up plenty of counting stats for the time being.
