Abreu could not put weight on his left leg and needed to be helped off the field after being hit by a pitch on the knee during Sunday's game against Seattle, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. Andrew Vaughn replaced him as a pinch runner and figures to stay in the game at first base.

This is obviously a terrible sight for the already injury-riddled White Sox. The club should provide further update later Sunday, but at this point it wouldn't be surprising if Abreu is forced to sit at least the next few days.

Smith is not in the lineup Sunday against the Phillies.

Smith is 5-for-21 and is without an extra-base hit over his past six games, and he'll head to the bench Sunday. Billy McKinney will start in left field in his place.

Dalbec is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Dalbec will sit for the second time in three games as Danny Santana takes over at first base against Gerrit Cole. Dalbec is hitless across his last 17 at-bats dating back to June 20.

Kirilloff is not in the starting lineup Sunday against Cleveland.

Kirilloff was absent from Saturday's lineup before the game got postponed due to rain, and he remains out of the starting nine Sunday with lefty Sam Hentges' start getting pushed back one day. Miguel Sano will play first base and bat sixth.

Gurriel went 2-for-3 with a run scored in a 3-1 loss to Detroit in the matinee of Saturday's doubleheader.

Gurriel had two of Houston's six hits and scored the team's lone run in a loss that snapped an 11-game winning streak. He suited up for the nightcap as well, singling in three at-bats. With hits in both ends of the twin bill, Gurriel extended his hit streak to 10 games, during which he's gone 16-for-35 (.457) with a .961 OPS.

Calhoun (hamstring) is running out of the batter's box during at-bats taken at the team's training site, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Calhoun is preparing to head out on a rehab assignment which will be "coming soon," per manager Torey Lovullo. The 33-year-old outfielder will need a few games in the minors before rejoining the major-league club.

Solano went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk as San Francisco defeated Oakland 6-5 on Saturday.

Solano singled in the second, walked in the sixth and homered in the eighth off Oakland reliever Jake Diekman to tie the game 4-4. The veteran infielder now has multiple hits in three of his last five games and is slashing a respectable .272/.324/.386 in 49 games.

Wade went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a walk in a 6-5 victory against the A's on Saturday.

Wade blasted a two-run homer to right off A's starter Frankie Montas in the fifth to get San Francisco on the board, walked and scored in the seventh, and singled in the ninth to reach base three times for the fourth time this season. He started for the first time since being recalled from Triple-A on Friday and looks to see decent run with a strong .273/.354/.500 slash line and Brandon Belt on the IL.

Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, double, an additional run and a walk in Saturday's 10-1 win against the Padres.

Walker extended Arizona's lead to 2-0 with his solo shot in the second off San Diego starter Dinelson Lamet, doubled and scored in the fourth and walked in the ninth to reach base three times in consecutive games and for only the fourth time all season. The homer was his fourth in 42 games, a far cry from the pace when he hit 29 in 2019.

Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss against the Dodgers.

Rizzo hit a solo shot off Julio Urias in the fourth inning to get the Cubs on the board. He is in a bit of a cold stretch, going 5-for-32 over his last 10 games. On the season, he is slashing .250/.346/.446 with 10 home runs, 32 RBI and 30 runs scored in 280 plate appearances. He is still on pace for a 20-homer season, but his RBI and runs are down compared to his last two full seasons in 2018 and 2019.
