Mountcastle, 19, is batting .405 with three home runs and seven RBI over the last 10 games for Low-A Delmarva.

The recent surge by Mountcastle, a first round pick in 2015, pushes his overall slash line to .290/.364/.443. He is only scratching the surface of his potential, as he is expected to have decent power for a shortstop, assuming he stays at that position. He has also swiped three bases in 41 games at this level.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI against the Tigers on Monday.

The White Sox offense has been in a funk for the past month-plus, but no one told Abreu. Abreu started the year slow, but he is now 16-for-43 (.372) with three home runs since the start of June. It might be advisable to look into acquiring him now, while his overall stats are still depressed by his cold start.

Santana went 2-for-5 with a pair of homers and three RBI Sunday at the Angels.

Santana's 11th and 12th bombs of the year were part of an eight-run Indians' attack that helped the team to an easy victory over the Angels. He collected five hits in 12 at-bats during the weekend series, and he raised his slugging percentage from .410 to .445.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Sunday against the Royals.

Abreu's eighth blast of the year provided the White Sox with the only run they'd score in a losing effort. He's now hit safely in eight of his last nine games, and his slash line sits at .260/.315/.415.

Abreu went 2-for-4 in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Royals.

While he posted just two innocuous singles on the day, they represented Abreu's sixth multi-hit effort in nine June contests. He's now hitting .371 over that span and just seems to be missing his power stroke. The 29-year-old has gone deep just twice since May 17 and has only seven round-trippers overall in 242 at-bats after hitting at least 30 homers in both of his previous major league seasons.

Cron is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Indians, according to Eric Kay of the Angels.

Cron will be held out Friday with the Angels taking on a tough right-hander in Corey Kluber. With Cron out, Albert Pujols will serve as the Angels' designated hitter, and Jefry Marte will get the start at first base.

Parmelee will miss at least a month with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal reports.

With Parmelee out, Rob Refsnyder will be the everyday first baseman going forward. Parmelee was placed on the 15-day DL earlier Friday and will likely be out until after the All-Star break. He was 4-for-8 with two home runs in his short time with the Yankees in 2016.

Parmelee was placed on the 15-day DL with a right hamstring strain.

Parmelee went in for an MRI after Thursday's game, but manager Joe Girardi had already said he would be shocked if the injury didn't require a stint on the DL. This takes another name out of the Yankees' jumble at first base, with Rob Refsnyder and Austin Romine more likely to get starts barring a roster move.

Parmelee (hamstring) will go in for an MRI and manager Joe Girardi announced that he would be "shocked" if the first baseman didn't require a stint on the disabled list, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Parmelee was helped off the field by the team's training staff Thursday after suffering a right hamstring injury. His status moving forward won't become clear until the results of his MRI come back, but Girardi's comments suggest he could be heading to the DL. Rob Refsnyder, who is a converted middle infielder, has been working at first of late and could be a stopgap at that position until Mark Teixeira returns from the disabled list.

Parmelee exited Thursday's game against the Angels with a right hamstring injury.

Parmelee left the field in what looked to be extreme discomfort Thursday, which marks yet another injury at first base for the Yankees. With Mark Teixeira on the DL with a knee issue and the reserve combo of Dustin Ackley and Greg Bird out for the season, an extended absence for Parmelee would leave the Yankees even thinner at first base. A further update on Parmelee's status figures to be made available later Thursday.
