Olson went 1-for-2 with an RBI single, three walks and two runs in a win over the Angels on Thursday.

Several of his teammates did it in more spectacular fashion, but Olson had his fair share of contributions in the Athletics' jaw-dropping 21-run outburst. The multiple walks were a rarity for Olson, who'd last accomplished the feat on Aug. 3 and had only done it on eight occasions overall this season. Olson's on-base percentage for September is up to a whopping .406 following Thursday's performance, as he's now reached safely in eight straight games.

Abreu (infection) remains out of the lineup Friday against the Cubs.

Abreu has been out since Tuesday after being hospitalized with an infection on his right thigh. He was released from the hospital Wednesday but is not yet ready to return to the field. Matt Davidson will start at first base in his absence.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Red Sox.

Voit took Eduardo Rodriguez deep in the second inning to record his 11th home run of the season and third in the past two games. He has exhibited an abundance of power since being dealt to the Yankees in late July, blasting 10 home runs in two months of action. As a result, he has become an everyday player and has been a reliable option in the later portions of the season.

Tellez went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-8 win over the Rays.

Tellez got the scoring started with a two-run shot in the second inning before knocking an RBI double to start Toronto's incredible ninth-inning rally. Now with 40 career plate appearances, the rookie left-hander owns an 1.144 OPS with nine RBI.

Abreu returned to the team prior to Thursday's game but is still unavailable to play while recovering from an infection in his right thigh, Daryl Van Schouwen of The Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Van Schouwen added that Abreu was walking a little gingerly, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise after the first baseman was released from the hospital Wednesday afternoon. Initially the club was hopeful that Abreu would be able to return for Friday's series opener against the Cubs, but that seems overly optimistic barring significant improvement. Expect him to require a few more days off.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup against the Tigers on Thursday.

O'Hearn will receive a day off following six straight starts as Hunter Dozier gets the nod at first base for the series opener with a left-hander (Matt Boyd) on the mound. Since joining the big-league team in late July, O'Hearn has slashed .272/.372/.632 with 11 home runs and 27 RBI in 38 games.

Cron went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple, a walk and a run in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Cron's first three-bagger of the campaign brought home Matt Duffy to extend the Rays' lead to 8-1 in the fourth. The 28-year-old is hitting just .222 in September despite Wednesday's production, but a career-high 27 home runs has helped him establish a new high-water mark in slugging percentage (.485). Moreover, he's now just five RBI away from eclipsing the career-best 69 he compiled in 2016.

Voit went 4-for-4 with a two homers, four runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox.

Voit took David Price deep twice in this one, knocking a solo shot in the fourth inning before adding a two-run homer in the sixth frame. He added a pair of singles in the second and eighth innings, coming around to score both times as the Yankees cruised to a 10-1 victory. The 27-year-old has played his way into a starting role since joining the Yankees, slashing .323/.400/.634 with nine homers and 20 RBI through 29 games with New York.

Calhoun is not in the lineup Wednesday against the A's.

Calhoun has started all but one game for the Angels in September, slashing just .107/.261/.214 with two homers and six RBI over that 15-game stretch. He'll sit Wednesday in favor of Jabari Blash, who is starting in right field and hitting seventh.

Abreu (infection) was released from the hospital Wednesday but remains unavailable, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Abreu had been in the hospital since Monday while being treated for an infection on his thigh. He'll remain unavailable for the duration of the series against Cleveland but could return Friday against the Cubs.
