Bell is out of the lineup Sunday against the Brewers.

Bell started the past 14 games and had a .578 OPS and 29 percent strikeout rate during that stretch, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Colin Moran will cover first base while Gregory Polanco serves as the designated hitter.

White went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and six RBI in a 10-1 win over Texas on Saturday.

White plated a pair of runs with a double in the first inning and accounted for three more with a homer to left field in the third. He capped his career night with an RBI fielder's choice in the eighth frame. The rookie is hitting only .148 with 42 strikeouts in 88 at-bats this season, though he has notched five homers and 15 RBI.

Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with a grand slam and two additional runs scored in a 13-2 victory over Houston on Saturday.

A day after San Diego's major-league record of four straight games with a grand slam came to an end, Cronenworth started a new streak with a bases-clearing homer in the second inning. The long ball was part of a career night for the rookie, who established big-league highs with three hits and four RBI in the rout. Cronenworth also extended his hitting streak to seven games, a span in which he has gone 11-for-26 (.423).

Abreu went 4-for-4 with three home runs, four RBI and three runs scored against the Cubs on Saturday.

Abreu powered the White Sox to victory, helping to maintain their lead late in the game by homering in each of his last three at-bats. He has five home runs across the first two games of the team's series against the Cubs, giving him 10 total for the campaign. With his recent power surge, Abreu is now hitting .322/.361/.652 with 21 runs scored and 27 RBI across 122 plate appearances.

Hiura went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk during Saturday's 12-5 loss to the Pirates.

The Brewers didn't have much going for them Saturday offensively, but the 24-year-old capitalized with a pair of runners on base during the seventh inning. Hiura has a .240/.306/.470 slash line with seven home runs and 16 RBI, and he also has a 34.2 percent strikeout rate.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-1 with three walks in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Reds.

Goldschmidt wasn't able to directly contribute to the offense, but he did his part to keep the line moving in all four of his plate appearances. The first baseman is slashing .347/.492/.490 with two homers, five RBI and nine runs scored in 15 games this season.

Naylor is out of the lineup Saturday against the Astros.

The 23-year-old was recalled from the alternate training site last weekend but hasn't seen consistent playing time in the absence of Tommy Pham (hand), as he's started only two of six games. Naylor has a .308/.357/.385 slash line through 28 plate appearances.

Diaz was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Blue Jays after being hit in the face by a ricochet during batting practice, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 29-year-old experienced some dizziness after taking the hit, so the team will exercise some caution. Diaz should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated. Joey Wendle will take over at third base for the Rays.

White (knee) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Rangers.

White missed two consecutive games after fouling a ball off his knee Wednesday, but he'll return to his spot in the starting nine Saturday. Prior to the injury, White hit .133 with four home runs, nine RBI and 40 strikeouts over 83 at-bats.

Bohm isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Braves.

Bohm had started each of the past nine games, but he'll take a seat after going hitless Friday. Jean Segura will shift to third base with Scott Kingery starting at second base.
