Diaz (hand/wrist) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

Diaz left Sunday's game against the Yankees after getting hit in the hand. He was originally in Tuesday's lineup but was eventually scratched and remains out for the second game in a row. Daniel Robertson remains in the lineup at third base.

Santana went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks Wednesday in the Indians' 5-3 loss to the Athletics.

Francisco Lindor tied Santana for the team lead when he slugged his seventh home run of the season in the first inning, but Santana reclaimed sole possession of first place after taking Chris Bassitt deep in the bottom of the third. The first baseman has been the Indians' best all-around hitter throughout the season, but he's been particularly productive over his last six starts. During that span, he's gone 8-for-18 with three home runs, seven RBI, five runs and an 8:2 BB:K.

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

The 34-year-old is putting together a strong May, hitting .310 (22-for-71) through 18 games with three of his four homers on the season. Gurriel was back at first base Tuesday, but injuries around the Houston infield have required him to see action at second base three times in recent days, as he inches closer to adding eligibility at another position along with first and third.

Tellez went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in a 10-3 victory against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

While he does have eight homers, this was his first home run since May 1. Tuesday marked the first time he's gone deep twice in a game this season. Tellez had just a .382 slugging percentage this month prior to Tuesday night, but the pair of long balls raised his May slugging percentage about 100 points. Overall, he is batting .248 with 14 extra-base hits, 24 RBI and 17 runs in 137 at-bats.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Astros.

His seventh-inning shot was the only offense the White Sox could muster against Justin Verlander. Abreu is now slashing .259/.317/.508 through 47 games with 11 homers and 39 RBI.

Alonso went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Nationals.

Alonso took Tanner Rainey deep in the eighth inning to tie the game at 5-5. It was his 16th homer of the season and second in as many games to begin the team's series against the Nationals. The 24-year-old rookie continues to be a tremendous source of power, hitting .260/.347/.604 across 193 plate appearances.

Flores (foot) was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game.

The move is retroactive to Monday as Flores as been held out of game action since exiting Sunday's game due to the hit by pitch. The severity of the injury remains unclear. Ketel Marte has moved to second base with Jarrod Dyson starting in center field to cover his absence.

Solano was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Solano's stay in the minors lasted all of one day, and he'll head right back to the big leagues with Travis Bergen (shoulder) landing on the injured list. Solano should return to the bench role he'd occupied previously for the Giants.

Flores (foot) remains out Tuesday against the Padres.

Flores was hit by a pitch on his foot Sunday and sat out Monday's contest. It's not clear when he's expected back. Ketel Marte again starts at second base, with Jarrod Dyson starting in center field.

Diaz (hand/wrist) could be available off the bench Tuesday against the Dodgers, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

He was a late scratch after feeling too much pain while taking pregame swings. However, manager Kevin Cash is still hopeful that after Diaz gets further treatment he will be an option later in the game. Regardless, it sounds like Diaz is day-to-day.
