Dalbec went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

His third-inning blast off David Peterson got the Red Sox on the board and was Dalbec's first homer of the season. The 25-year-old is starting to find his rhythm at the plate, going 9-for-27 (.333) over his last nine games with a double and a triple in addition to Tuesday's long ball.

Calhoun will undergo an MRI on his left hamstring Wednesday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The 33-year-old was removed from Tuesday's win over the Padres after suffering the injury on a successful steal of third base. Calhoun seems likely to be unavailable for Wednesday's series finale versus San Diego, and it should become clear if he's expected to miss additional time when the MRI results are announced.

Guerrero went 3-for-4 with three home runs and seven total RBI during Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Guerrero did something his father never accomplished during his stellar 16-year career and had arguably the best game of his young career. He belted a grand slam in the third inning and a solo homer in the fifth before capping things off with a two-run shot in the seventh -- the first two were off Max Scherzer. Guerrero also became the fourth player in MLB history to smash three grand slams before turning 23 years old, joining a list that also includes Ozzie Albies, Giancarlo Stanton and Albert Pujols, and he is also the youngest to record three homers and seven RBI in a single game since 1901.

Calhoun exited Tuesday's game against the Padres with an apparent left hamstring injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The 33-year-old went 1-for-3 and was removed after suffering the injury on a successful steal of third base during the sixth inning. Calhoun should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Walker (oblique) participated in batting practice Tuesday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

The 30-year-old landed on the 10-day injured list April 12, and this is the first significant update in his recovery process. Walker is already eligible to be activated from the injured list, but it's unclear when he's expected to return to game action.

White is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Astros.

He's gone 5-for-32 with zero extra-base hits over his last nine games. Jose Marmolejos will start at first base and bat fifth.

Vaughn is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Tigers.

He has a mini five-game hitting streak going but has still failed to wrangle a true everyday role just yet. Jake Lamb will start in left field and bat seventh.

Flores went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in a 12-0 shellacking of the Rockies on Monday.

Flores was effective hitting out of the two-hole Monday, keeping the line moving in both the first and second innings. The two-hit performance raised his batting average to a meager .216 on the campaign with eight runs scored. Despite his modest results, the 29-year-old has been one of the best contact hitters in the league this year, connecting with pitches 88.2 percent of the time and only striking out at a 10.2 percent clip.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh.

O'Hearn started three of the Royals' first four games after making his season debut Friday, going 2-for-10 with a homer and a pair of walks. With the team now heading to a National League park for a two-game series, someone has to miss out. That someone will be O'Hearn on Tuesday.

White has slashed .156/.229/.156 with five singles, three walks and a run over the nine games he's played since hitting his only home run of the season April 16.

The dearth of extra-base hits is certainly a concern and a major drain on White's fantasy value, even as he's improved his contact rate considerably in the early going. The primary issue for the 25-year-old appears to be his consistent failure to square up with authority; he's sporting a middling 27.3 percent hard-hit rate and a weak average exit velocity of 79.2 mph while seeing his soft-contact percentage rise to 29.5 percent from last season's 14.1 percent figure.
