Abreu is considered day-to-day with a facial bruise and laceration after leaving the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Royals. He tested negative for a concussion during the initial diagnosis.

The 34-year-old appears to have escaped serious injury after a hard collusion with Hunter Dozier during Friday's matinee. Abreu hasn't been ruled out but is unlikely to be available for the second game of the twin bill.

Abreu was removed from the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Royals after a collision with Hunter Dozier, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Abreu was running down a popup from Dozier in between first base and home plate during the second inning, leading to a hard collision in the baseline. Both players remained down on the field for a few minutes before being removed from the contest. Abreu should be considered day-to-day and is likely unavailable for Friday's nightcap.

Dalbec went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Athletics.

Dalbec was back in the lineup after sitting the previous two games, while Michael Chavis filled in at first base. Chavis started at second base Thursday, hit two doubles and scored two runs. Dalbec's inconsistent start to the season could open an opportunity for Chavis to get more playing time at first, if he significantly outplays Dalbec while up with the Red Sox.

Vaughn went 1-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Twins.

Vaughn's sixth-inning single plated Yoan Moncada with what eventually became the winning run. It was the second consecutive game with an RBI for Vaughn, who has knocked in five runs over the last eight games. The rookie began the season with just one RBI over his first 17 contests.

Cabrera (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Friday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Cabrera was diagnosed with a hamstring strain after exiting Thursday's contest early. The severity of the injury is not yet known, though the results of the imaging should shed light on a general timeline for Cabrera's return to the field.

Cabrera was diagnosed with a strained right hamstring after exiting Thursday's contest.

Cabrera suffered the injury while stealing a base in the seventh inning. He had to be helped off the field by trainers and could be in line to miss some time. Josh VanMeter could be the beneficiary of Cabrera's absence.

Cabrera exited Thursday's game in the seventh inning with an apparent injury to his right leg, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Cabrera successfully stole second base but was hurt in the process. He was helped off the field by trainers, though there has been no official diagnosis to this point.

Bell went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Phillies.

Bell took Zach Eflin deep in the opening frame for his fourth homer of the season. He had only one home run through his first 13 games, but he has now delivered three in his last 11 contests. Overall, Bell still has an inflated 30.9 percent strikeout rate, which has limited him to a .140/.202/.326 line across 94 plate appearances.

Voit is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

The Yankees are likely just building in a rest day for Voit after he started both of the past two days following his return from the 10-day injured list. The early returns weren't overly promising (0-for-6 with a walk), but Voit should gradually settle in at the plate once he gets more at-bats under his belt. Mike Ford will fill in for Voit at first base Thursday.

Gurriel (illness) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Gurriel will get a full day to rest up and recover after he was removed from Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Angels when he fell victim to an illness. Aledmys Diaz will fill in at first base for Gurriel, who will hope to return to the lineup Friday.
