O'Hearn went 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 5-1 win over the Indians.

O'Hearn launched a solo homer in the fourth inning and a two-run blast to right in the sixth to hand Kansas City a four-run lead. Though he's only played in 24 games this year, the 25-year-old sits with nine homers, 22 RBI and a .987 OPS.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Athletics.

Voit plated a pair in the second inning on a two-run blast to right-center field, but the Yankees would fall short in the series opener. The 27-year-old has gone deep in back-to-back games and he's launched four home runs over his previous 10 contests. It'll be difficult for New York to keep Voit out of the starting nine if he continues to stay hot at the dish down the stretch.

Abreu (abdomen) performed upper-body work Monday as part of his recovery, Phil Thompson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

White Sox general manager Rick Hahn is targeting a mid-September return for Abreu, who underwent surgery last month. "He's feeling good, looks good," manager Rick Renteria said. "Obviously, we want to make sure he's completely resolved of his issue he's dealing with. He's probably five, six, seven days away from actually being able to get on the field."

Guerrero will not be promoted to the majors this season, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

There was some hope that Guerrero would get a cup of coffee in September, but the Blue Jays will hold off on promoting the 19-year-old stud in order to keep his service time down. Guerrero will undoubtably make his major-league debut sometime in 2019 after slashing a combined .382/.439/.637 with 20 homers across 94 games in the minors this season.

Cron went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in a win over the Indians on Sunday.

Cron belted both his 25th double and 26th homer of the season off Carlos Carrasco, with the latter serving as his second round tripper in the last three games. The 28-year-old continues to enjoy semi-regular playing time and is now just nine RBI from eclipsing the career-high 69 he established in 2016.

Voit will start at first base and bat sixth Sunday against the Tigers.

Voit will start for the fourth straight game, with three of those assignments coming against left-handed pitching. At the very least, Voit seems to have emerged as a platoon mate at first base with Greg Bird and may even be viewed as the preferred option against right-handed pitching, too. Bird finished August with a sub-.200 on-base percentage and slugged just two home runs, while Voit has slashed .400/.486/.800 since being recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 21.

Calhoun went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run homer in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Astros.

His second-inning blast off the debuting Josh James was all the offense the Angels could muster on the night. Calhoun now has 18 homers on the year, nine of which have come in just 36 games since the All-Star break.

Olson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Olson takes a seat on the bench with left-hander James Paxton (forearm) taking the mound. Mark Canha will bat eighth and start at first base for the Athletics.

Gurriel is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gurriel will head to the bench Saturday after going 1-for-13 over the past four games. Marwin Gonzalez will start at first base for the Astros with Tony Kemp taking over in left field.

O'Hearn went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 9-2 win over the Orioles.

The rookie continues to swing a hot bat, racking up four multi-hit performances and four homers in his last nine games to give him a .353/.405/.794 slash line over that stretch. O'Hearn should see regular playing time between DH and first base in September, and with seven home runs through his first 21 big-league contests, he could be solid source of power even in shallower fantasy formats.
