O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a walk, a grand slam and a second run scored in Tuesday's 12-2 rout of the Astros.

His third-inning blast off Collin McHugh ended up being the first of two grand slams by the Royals on the night. O'Hearn's .202/.317/.385 slash line and four homers in 32 games remains lackluster, but better days could be ahead -- his 17:28 BB:K and .233 BABIP suggest he's been unlucky rather than overmatched in the majors.

Hoskins went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and three runs scored Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Hoskins had already had a productive night by doubling and scoring two runs when he stepped to the plate in the ninth inning. However, he capped off his performance by lifting his 11th home run of the season over the left-field fence to give the Phillies an 11-1 lead. Hoskins continues to swing a hot bat, pairing a .302/.425/.651 line with elite power and counting stat production in the early going.

Olson (hand) was reinstated from the injured list as expected Tuesday.

Olson made it just two games into the season before suffering a broken hamate bone. He should resume an everyday role at first base now that he's healthy. Skye Bolt was optioned in a corresponding move.

Gurriel is not starting Tuesday against the Royals, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Gurriel sits after starting 10 of the last 11 games. He's hitting just .176/.208/.294 over his last 13 contests. Aledmys Diaz gets the start at first base.

Bour is not starting Tuesday against lefty Daniel Norris and the Tigers.

Shohei Ohtani's (elbow) return from the injured list pushes Albert Pujols into a platoon with Bour at first base. Bour could get the majority of the starts as the lefty in that pairing, but with three straight southpaws on tap this series, he may be stuck on the bench until Friday.

Cron is not in the lineup Tuesday against Toronto.

Cron has gone just 2-for-26 at the plate in his last nine games. Marwin Gonzalez slides across the diamond to first base in his absence, with Ehire Adrianza entering the lineup in third base.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Lowe contributed one of four multi-hit efforts for the Rays in an auspicious night for the offense. The rookie has now hit safely in six of his first seven big-league contests, although Monday's two-bagger marked his first extra-base hit since his April 29 debut.

The Giants plan to call up Solano from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Along with Solano, the Giants are planning on calling outfielder Mac Williamson up from Sacramento prior to the three-game series in Colorado. Neither Solano nor Williamson possess spots on the 40-man roster, so the Giants will have to remove two players from the roster to facilitate their promotions. The 31-year-old Solano has seen time at second base, third base and shortstop this season and is hitting .322/.392/.437 across 97 plate appearances in the Pacific Coast League. He'll likely serve as a utility man while he's up with the Giants.

Guerrero went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and committed an error in Tuesday's 8-0 loss to the Twins.

Baseball's No. 1 prospect has looked mortal through his first nine games in the big leagues, recording only five hits in 33 at-bats while striking out 27 percent of the time. Given Guerrero's elite hit and power tools and the unprecedented level of success he enjoyed in the upper rungs of the minors, it should be just a matter of time before he makes the necessary adjustments to big-league pitching.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

He took Walker Buehler deep in the sixth inning for his seventh homer of the year. Freeman has been scuffling a little at the plate recently, going 10-for-30 (.256) over the last 10 games, but he's still gone yard four times in that stretch and remains on pace for another outstanding campaign.
