Flores (foot) has resumed full baseball activity, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Flores is taking groundballs and moving around freely. This, after the injured second baseman was already swinging a bat in a controlled environment. Flores, who fractured his right foot and hasn't played since May 19, is close to beginning a rehab assignment.

Gurriel went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.

The 35-year-old took German Marquez deep in the second inning and Jake McGee in the seventh, with the latter blast proving to be the game-winner. Half of Gurriel's 10 homers on the year have come in his last seven games, a stretch during which he's slashing a stunning .414/.452/1.034.

Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Rangers.

Calhoun entered Tuesday's contest 4-for-34 with 12 strikeouts over his last 10 games, so it was a much-needed effort from the outfielder. The 31-year-old is slashing .229/.319/.471 with 18 home runs though 81 games this season.

Voit (abdomen) is expected to return for the Yankees' series after the All-Star break, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

An MRI revealed a slight abdominal strain for the first baseman, sending him to the 10-day injured list, but the timing of the All-Star break means he may wind up missing just six more games. Edwin Encarnacion and DJ LeMahieu are expected to cover first base in his absence, with at-bats opening up for other players at the designated hitter and third base spots.

Gurriel (ankle) is back in the lineup Tuesday against Colorado, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Gurriel sat out Sunday with a right ankle issue, but he's good to go following Monday's off day. He'll bat fifth and play first base.

Cabrera (back) remains on the bench Tuesday against the Angels.

Cabrera was scratched Sunday against the Rays with lower-back tightness and will sit for at least one more contest. Logan Forsythe starts at third base.

Smith isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Smith will head to the bench with a lefty in James Paxton slated to toe the rubber for the opposition. J.D. Davis draws the nod in left field and is batting third in Smith's stead.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Diaz sits after starting five games in a row. Joey Wendle will get the nod at third base.

Voit was placed on the 10-day injured list with an abdominal strain Tuesday.

Voit left Saturday's game against the Red Sox with abdominal tightness and did not play in Sunday's contest. The assignment is backdated to Sunday, so he could be back in the lineup when play resumes July 12 following the All-Star break, should he prove ready. DJ LeMahieu can slide over to first base in Voit's absence, as he did on Sunday, or the Yankees can move Edwin Encarnacion out from the designated hitter spot.

Guerrero went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and three runs Monday in the Blue Jays' 11-4 win over the Orioles.

Guerrero reaped the benefits of batting in front of Lourdes Gurriel, Cavan Biggio and Randal Grichuk, as that trio combined to produce 10 hits on the afternoon. Even though Guerrero has yet to live up to his lofty expectations, he's still been reasonably productive for fantasy managers over his last 10 games, slashing .270/.372/.405 with eight runs and four RBI.
