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.

Gurriel (illness) is back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

A stomach illness led to Gurriel being scratched from Friday's lineup, but he's good to go a day later. The 35-year-old will look to make it four consecutive games with a home run when he faces off against Patrick Sandoval and company.

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

The Braves are going with a quasi "hangover" lineup after clinching their second consecutive division title Friday night. Austin Riley replaces Freeman at first base.

Cooper (knee) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Nationals.

A jammed knee forced Cooper from the Marlins' Sept. 13 game and he has not made an appearance since. Earlier this week, Craig Mish of FNTSY Sports Radio indicated that while Cooper's injury isn't thought to be serious, he may not be able to return this season. Cooper is looking like one of the few locks for the Marlins' 2020 lineup.

Tellez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Nothing to see here; just your standard absence against a lefty (James Paxton) for Tellez. He continues to start against most righties, though Tellez has fallen in the order in recent days, all the way down to the eight hole Thursday. He's batting .227/.314/.545 this month.

Voit is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Voit wore the Golden Sombrero on Friday and is now hitless in his last five games (0-for-18). Mike Ford will get a turn at first base Saturday against right-hander T.J. Zeuch as Aaron Judge serves as the designated hitter.
