O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh.

Since the Royals don't have the designated hitter available in Pittsburgh, O'Hearn will remained sidelined for the second straight day. Kansas City will resume American League play Friday in Minnesota, so O'Hearn should soon reclaim a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching.

Hiura isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Hiura will get a breather after he went 2-for-11 with a triple, one run and six strikeouts in the last three games. Daniel Vogelbach will take over at first base and bat second.

Cron went 2-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Giants.

Cron provided some insurance in the 10th inning by blasting his fourth home run of the season, which put the Rockies up by three runs. After connecting for only three extra-base hits in his first 14 games, Cron has hit all four of his home runs with an additional double in his last seven contests. Through 81 plate appearances, Cron is now hitting .271/.370/.500.

Santana went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Pirates.

Santana's infield single in the third inning plated shortstop Nicky Lopez for the Royals' lone run. The 35-year-old Santana continues to get involved in run production -- he has 19 RBI in 22 games this season. The first baseman had all of 30 RBI in 60 games last year. In 2021, he's added five home runs, 10 runs scored, one stolen base and a .244/.362/.487 slash line across 94 plate appearances.

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.
