Hiura (hamstring) took part in light running on the field Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

It's the rookie's first meaningful on-field activity since he strained his hamstring Aug. 30 and landed on the 10-day injured list. Hiura still has a few more hurdles to clear in the recovery process, but he's on pace to return from the IL before the regular season draws to a close.

Gurriel will test his hamstring Monday with the goal of returning to the lineup Tuesday or Wednesday versus the Athletics, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Gurriel exited Friday's game against the Mariners with left hamstring discomfort and has been shut down for the weekend. Aledmys Diaz has covered for him at first base, but it doesn't sound as though he's expected to miss too many more games.

Cron is not starting Sunday against Cleveland, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Cron owns a solid .250/.321/.563 slash line over his last 13 games, hitting four homers over that stretch. Ehire Adrianza will get the start at first base in his absence.

Bell is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Bell started the last 11 games and has a .999 OPS with three homers in that stretch, but he'll take the day off Sunday. Jose Osuna will start at first base and bat fifth in his absence.

Walker is not starting Sunday against the Reds.

Walker owns a strong .308/.379/.519 line over his last 14 games. Jake Lamb starts at first base in his place Sunday.

Abreu went 1-for-1 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Angels.

Abreu was also hit by pitches twice and had a sacrifice fly in the game. The home run was his 30th of the season, and he became the fourth White Sox player to record at least four seasons with 30 home runs and 100 RBI, joining Frank Thomas (eight times), Paul Konerko (five) and Magglio Ordonez (four). The four RBI vaulted him to the top of the AL with 111 runs driven in.

Olson went 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, two runs, and a walk in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Tigers.

The monster night began as Olson scored the tying run in the fourth inning on a Ramon Laureano single. He then homered off Tigers starter Jordan Zimmermann in the fifth inning and added his two-run single in the sixth. The first baseman is on a 10-game hitting streak, batting .390 (16-for-41) with three homers, seven RBI and 10 runs scored in that span. For the year, Olson is slashing .275/.359/.544, matching his career high with 29 homers and adding 73 RBI and 61 runs in 108 games.

Gurriel (hamstring) won't play this weekend and needs a few more days to recover, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gurriel is dealing with hamstring discomfort, an injury which forced him to leave Friday's game against the Mariners. Aledmys Diaz starts in his place at first base Saturday and appears to be in line for at least another start or two.

Beaty is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

He has been starting against righties, but Beaty will sit against right-hander Tyler Beede as Cody Bellinger moves to first base and Enrique Hernandez mans center. Beaty got off to a great start and still has an .817 OPS, but he is batting .179 in his last nine games.

Gurriel (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gurriel left Friday's game with left hamstring discomfort and will rest for at least one game. Aledmys Diaz starts at first base in his absence, batting fifth.
