Abreu was hospitalized with an infection on his right thigh Tuesday and is expected to miss Chicago's series in Cleveland, which runs through Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Abreu is considered day-to-day but it sounds as though he'll miss at least a few games. Matt Davidson starts at first base in his place Tuesday and is the most likely candidate for an expanded role while Abreu remains out.

Voit is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

After starting his Yankees career with a 1.004 OPS over his first 23 games, Voit has gone just 2-for-15 over his last five contests. Neil Walker will get the call at first base.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Rays on Sunday.

Olson continued to swing a hot bat through the entirety of the three-game set versus Tampa, and he's now hit safely in five straight games overall. That stretch includes back-to-back two-hit efforts, and his consistency at the plate throughout the month has helped lead to an impressive .311 September average.

Calhoun went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Mariners.

Calhoun's seventh-inning homer ended an 0-for-22 slump at the plate. The 30-year-old's seemingly endless second-half hot streak has finally come to a halt. Calhoun can still provide fantasy value even if he settles somewhere between his polar-opposite halves while batting leadoff for the Halos.

Cron went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two RBI and a walk Sunday against the Athletics.

Cron belted a two-run homer to kick off the scoring in the first inning, notching his 63rd and 64th RBI of the 2018 campaign. He'll continue to share playing time at first base with Jake Bauers down the stretch of the regular season. Cron sports a .252/.319/.485 slash line through 126 games this year.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Rays.

Olson tied the game up at 2-2 in the sixth inning with his solo shot off Yonny Chirinos, though the Rays would respond with five runs over the next three innings to secure the victory. While the 24-year-old has taken a step back in his sophomore campaign, he's still slashing a respectable .244/.327/.454 with 27 homers, 75 runs and 75 RBI.

The Red Sox announced Dalbec as the Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year in their minor-league system, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Dalbec's risen the organization's prospect ranks after the Red Sox traded away their more elite prospects and is known for his power. He swatted 32 home runs and added 35 doubles, three triples and 109 RBI over 129 games between High-A Salem (100 games) and Double-A Portland (29).

Gurriel went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Friday's 4-2 loss to Arizona.

Gurriel singled with the bases loaded in the first inning to drive in Houston's first run and help erase an early 2-0 deficit. Seeing Gurriel hit with runners in scoring position is no surprise. His .392 batting average ranks third among batters with at least 100 plate appearances with RISP. He was recently moved into the cleanup spot to replace the slumping Carlos Correa, so opportunities could be plentiful for Gurriel hitting behind Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman.

Voit went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI, two walks and a run scored in Friday's victory over Toronto.

Voit capped off a five-run first inning by delivering a two-run double to left-center field. The 27-year-old is off to a solid start in September, going 10-for-37 with two doubles, three home runs and six RBI over 11 games.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup Thursday against the Twins, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

O'Hearn was a late addition to Wednesday's lineup after Hunter Dozier was scratched, going 0-for-2 with a trio of walks. He'll find his usual seat on the bench against a southpaw, with the Royals facing Stephen Gonsalves. Dozier will start at first base in his place.
