MLB Player News

Voit will be called up ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Red Sox, DJ Eberle of the Times Leader News reports.

Voit was shipped from the Cardinals to the Yankees on Saturday, and after initially being assigned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he'll head to the majors. The 27-year-old first baseman appeared in just eight games for the Cardinals in 2018, going 2-for-11 with a homer and three RBI over that span. He'll serve as an extra bat off the bench during his time in the big leagues.

Cron is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Angels, Juan Toribio of The Athletic Tampa Bay reports.

Cron hit .338 with six homers and a 1.072 OPS in the month of July. Ji-Man Choi will take his spot as the Rays' designated hitter Wednesday.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a two-run single, a double and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Although he limped to a .220 average overall during the month of July, Olson went 5-for-12 with two doubles and Tuesday's pair of RBI over the last three games. Olson isn't keeping anywhere near the same frenetic home-run pace he established during his 2017 rookie campaign, but he's still blasted an impressive 21 round trippers and compiled 40 extra-base hits overall across 451 plate appearances this season.

Guerrero went 0-for-1 with three walks, two runs and an RBI in his debut Tuesday for Triple-A Buffalo in the affiliate's 11-8 loss to Lehigh Valley.

There were about 4,000 more fans in attendance than usual at Coca-Cola Field in Buffalo in anticipation of Guerrero's debut, and the 19-year-old didn't disappoint. While he failed to provide any splashy highlights, the three-walk performance exemplifies Guerrero's top-notch plate discipline, which helped him deliver a .449 on-base percentage over 61 games at Double-A New Hampshire. There's little doubt at this point that Guerrero is big-league ready, but the third baseman may continue to marinate in the International League for the rest of the season with the non-contending Blue Jays perhaps motivated to delay the start of his MLB service clock until 2019.

Calhoun went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Rays.

Calhoun has risen from the ashes in July, slashing .322/.378/.759 with 10 homers and 25 RBI following an abysmal first three months of the season (.162/.216/.224). The 30-year-old's recent hot play and placement atop the order against righties has restored his status as a viable mixed-league fantasy outfielder.

O'Hearn went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

O'Hearn connected for a two-run shot off James Shields in his MLB debut. Prior to getting called up, the 25-year-old was hitting .232 with 11 homers and 52 RBI in 100 games for Triple-A Omaha. O'Hearn figures to see some time at first base as well as at designated hitter.

O'Hearn had his contract purchased from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

In a corresponding move, the club put Brian Goodwin (groin) on the DL and transferred Cheslor Cuthbert (back) to the 60-day disabled list. Through 100 games at Omaha this year, O'Hearn has slashed .232/.322/.391 with 11 home runs and 52 RBI. He will serve as Lucas Duda's backup at first base.

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

Olson generated the only multi-hit effort for the Athletics on an afternoon when they were mostly stymied by German Marquez and a pair of relievers. The two-hit tally snapped a 1-for-21 slump for Olson that had encompassed his last five games. The 24-year-old has endured his toughest full month of the season at the plate, as despite Sunday's production, he's still hitting just .207 (17-for-82) since the calendar flipped to July.

Cron went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs Sunday in the 11-5 loss to Baltimore.

Cron struck in the second and fourth innings with solo blasts, but the Orioles would cruise to an 11-5 victory in the series finale. He's gone 8-for-34 (.235) with four homers and six RBI over his last 10 games, so he'll look to build off Sunday's promising day at the dish moving forward. Tampa Bay is set to begin a three-game series with the Angels starting Tuesday.

Gurriel will start at second base and bat third Sunday against the Rangers.

Gurriel will make his first career start and second career appearance at the keystone in place of Jose Altuve (knee), who was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday. The Astros had planned to experiment with Gurriel as a utilityman in spring training, but those plans were temporarily tabled after he required surgery on his left hand. Now healthy and with the Astros now down two key regulars in Altuve and Carlos Correa (back), Gurriel will learn the new position on the fly, though the 34-year-old won't necessarily be asked to take on a full-time role at second base. According to Christian Boutwell of MLB.com, manager A.J. Hinch also listed Marwin Gonzalez, Alex Bregman, Tony Kemp and Tyler White as options at the position.
