Solano will sit Tuesday against Houston, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Solano has earned a significant role in San Francisco this season, starting 14 of the team's first 19 games. With a .458/.476/.661 slash line through his first 63 plate appearances, it's not hard to see why, though the .520 BABIP that props up that line isn't anything close to sustainable. Mauricio Dubon will be the second baseman Tuesday.

Abreu (hip) is in the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.

Abreu left Monday's contest with a stinger in his right hip, but he'll return to action Tuesday. Manager Rick Renteria didn't sound too concerned about the injury, and the first baseman should be available for the White Sox going forward.

Calhoun will be on the bench against lefty Kyle Freeland and the Rockies on Tuesday.

The Diamondbacks haven't been platooning Calhoun this season, as he started against two of the first three lefties the team faced, though any off days he does receive will likely come against southpaws. Tim Locastro will be the right fielder Tuesday.

Tellez isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

Even with righty Elieser Hernandez on the mound for Miami on Tuesday, Tellez will sit after going hitless in the past three contests. Joe Panik will take over as the designated hitter and bat eighth.

Alonso is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

This appears to be nothing more than a routing off day for the young slugger. He may need a day to sort things out after hitting just .200/.333/.308 through his first 17 games. Dominic Smith will handle first base in his absence.

O'Hearn (shin) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds, batting fifth and playing first base.

O'Hearn left Saturday's game against the Twins after fouling a ball off his shin and did not take part in Sunday's contest. He's ready to go now following Monday's off day.

Cron was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left knee Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Cron left Monday's game against the White Sox with the injury, and it's evidently severe enough for him to be forced to sit for at least 10 days. His expected return date has not yet been announced. The cleanup hitter's absence will be a blow to a surprisingly competitive Tigers team, as he owned a strong .894 OPS despite a low .190 batting average. Willi Castro was recalled in a corresponding move.

Walker went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 12-8 win over Colorado.

Walker's first-inning double snapped an 0-for-10 skid and knocked in the first of two runs he delivered. Prior to that hitless run, Walker had been a consistent producer for a Diamondbacks' offense that has been slow to start. He leads Arizona with eight doubles and has 10 RBI through 16 games.

Calhoun went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 12-8 win over the Rockies.

Calhoun's lead-off shot set the tone for the game's nonstop offense, but it was surprisingly the only Diamondbacks' long ball of the night. The 32-year-old outfielder is up to eight extra-base hits and 11 RBI on the season.

Cabrera went 4-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two home runs, three runs scored and five RBI in Monday's 16-4 rout of the Mets.

Both long balls came off southpaws -- Steven Matz in the second inning and Chasen Shreve in the seventh. Cabrera has picked up right where he left off after being acquired by the Nats at the end of 2019, hitting .357 (15-for-42) through 12 games with three homers and 11 RBI.
