Abreu went 1-for-3 with a run scored in a 3-2 win over the Red Sox in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.

Abreu has now hit in two games in a row and scored a run for the first time since April 8. It hasn't been a productive start of the year for the 2020 AL MVP, as he's barely hitting above the Mendoza Line and only has two multi-hit performances in 2021.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk in Sunday's 1-0 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

Lowe came up to bat with two outs and the bases loaded in the 10th inning, and he delivered a single to score Eli White for the game's lone run. The 25-year-old Lowe is now batting .230 with four homers, 16 RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases in 16 contests.

Dalbec is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the White Sox, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Dalbec heads to the bench after he went 2-for-3 with a double in the Red Sox's 3-2 loss earlier in the day to raise his season average to .216. Marwin Gonzalez will replace Dalbec at first base for Game 2.

Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Raley will take a seat after going 3-for-13 with a home run while starting each of the past three games in left field. Though he'll bow out of the lineup with lefty Blake Snell on the mound for the Padres, the lefty-hitting Raley could still see semi-regular work against right-handed pitching while two everyday players in Cody Bellinger (lower leg) and Gavin Lux (wrist) are both on the shelf.

Voit (knee) is taking groundballs and will start swinging a bat Tuesday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Voit continues inching toward a return from his surgery in late March to repair a partially torn meniscus in his left knee. With the 30-year-old still weeks away from activation and Jay Bruce announcing his retirement Sunday, DJ LeMahieu will continue serving as the Yankees' starting first baseman while Rougned Odor fills in at second base.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Though Arizona included Calhoun in its initial lineup for Sunday, he'll end up heading to the bench in what's believed to be an extended rest for the veteran ahead of Monday's team off day. Pavin Smith will cover right field in place of Calhoun.

Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Bell will give way to Ryan Zimmerman at first base after starting in each of the first three games of the series. Since being activated from the COVID-19 injured list Monday, Bell has started in five of the Nationals' seven games, going 2-for-19 with four runs and two RBI.

Vaughn is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader at Boston.

Vaughn is 4-for-25 with 10 strikeouts to open the season and will take a seat for Sunday's matinee. Jake Lamb will receive the start in left field for the White Sox in Game 1.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

Naylor has a .255/.286/.340 slash line through 13 games and will take a seat Sunday with lefty Wade Miley starting for the Reds. Franmil Reyes will start in right field since Cleveland won't have a designated hitter in a National League park.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Red Sox.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa switched Abreu (fourth) and Yoan Moncada (third) in the batting order from the spots they held all season, and the move paid off immediately. After Adam Eaton and Moncada walked in the first inning, Abreu plated Eaton with a double and Moncada came in on a groundout. Abreu had gone seven consecutive games without a run batted in.
