Hiura (wrist) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Hiura was removed from Saturday's game after being struck by a pitch in his final at-bat, but he appears no worse for the wear Sunday morning. Hiura will start at second base and hit cleanup for the Brewers on Sunday afternoon.

Cabrera (ankle) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Cabrera left Saturday's game with a sore ankle, and the injury will prevent him from starting at least one game. Brian Dozier will enter the lineup at second base in Cabrera's place.

Rizzo went 3-for-5 with a double in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Cardinals.

Somewhat surprisingly, Rizzo didn't cross the plate despite the three-hit effort as the leadoff hitter in a high-scoring game. It's still good to see the slugging first baseman productive after suffering a sprained ankle on Monday, which kept him out of the lineup for a few games.

Calhoun went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Saturday's win over Houston.

Calhoun provided a pair of insurance runs with a blast to right center field in the ninth inning. The 31-year-old suffered through a 1-for-24 stretch to begin September but has turned things around over the last 10 games, going 12-for-37 with five home runs and seven runs batted in. Overall, Calhoun is slashing .237/.328/.481 with 33 long balls and 74 RBI in 604 plate appearances this season.

Abreu went 3-for-5 with with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over Detroit.

Abreu's eighth-inning, two-run single was the game-winning hit and produced his 120th and 121st RBI, the most by a White Sox player since Magglio Ordonez had 135 in 2002. He padded his RBI lead in the AL with the two runs driven in and moved to the top of MLB, one ahead of Atlanta's Freddie Freeman.

O'Hearn went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 12-5 win over the Twins.

His two-run shot in the sixth inning off Jose Berrios tied the game at 5-5, setting the stage for a seven-run eruption by the Kansas City offense in the ninth. O'Hearn had gone 0-for-17 with 11 strikeouts over his prior seven games, and on the year he's slashing only .190/.279/.365 with 14 homers and 34 RBI through 99 contests.

Hiura went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 10-1 rout of the Pirates but was removed from the game in the eighth inning after being hit by a pitch.

Given the score, the move was likely precautionary, but Hiura's status for Sunday's game should become clearer once the Brewers' trainers have a chance to check him out. The rookie has hit safely in six straight games and is slashing .316/.381/.684 over 21 plate appearances since returning to the lineup from a hamstring strain.

Cabrera (ankle) exited Saturday's contest with right ankle soreness, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Cabrera reportedly suffered the injury in the fourth inning when he slid into home plate trying to beat a tag. However, he remained in the game until the eighth frame, when Michael Taylor ran for him. The extent of the injury is unclear at this point, though Cabrera will be reevaluated Sunday.

Freeman is expected to be back in the lineup Sunday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Freeman was out of the lineup Saturday, one day after the team clinched the NL East. It appears as if the team will rotate days off for its stars throughout the remainder of the regular season. That could mean that more rest is in order for Freeman in the upcoming week.

Solano has been out of the lineup due to a right calf injury, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Solano hasn't played in any of the team's last three contests and is out of the lineup again Saturday against Atlanta. There were no specific details reported on Solano's exact injury, though it was noted that he sustained it while running the bases.
