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.

Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Marlins.

Rizzo wasted no time in hitting his ninth home run of the season, as he connected off Miami starter Sandy Alcantara in the first inning with a runner on. The blast also gave Rizzo 200 for his career, 199 of which have come since being traded to the Cubs in 2012. The 29-year-old has hit 30 or more home runs four times in the previous five seasons, with the 25 he launched in 2018 representing a low water mark in that span.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Yankees' 7-3 win over the Mariners on Monday.

That's now 10 homers for Voit, who touched up Felix Hernandez with a two-run shot in the first inning to get the Yankees rolling. He continues to impress early in the season, as the 28-year-old now boasts a .260/.373/.520 slash line through 127 at-bats.

Olson (hand) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Olson has been cleared to rejoin the A's ahead of Tuesday's game against the Reds after completing a five-game rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas, during which he went 4-for-22 (.182) with a homer and two RBI. To make room for Olson, the Athletics are expected to designate Kendrys Morales for assignment. Look for Olson to immediately reclaim his role as the team's primary first baseman, though he may be eased back into action given the extended length of his absence.

Cooper (hand) started a hitting progression Monday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Cooper landed on the injured list over the weekend due to a left hand contusion, though the fact that he's already been cleared to resume hitting suggests his stay on the shelf may not be an extended one. The 28-year-old will be eligible to return May 11, should he prove ready.

Cabrera went 2-for-4 with his seventh home run of the season, four RBI and two runs in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Cabrera kicked off the scoring for the afternoon with an RBI double in the bottom of the second, then plated three more runs when he took Clay Buchholz deep an inning later. While Cabrera's .263 ISO would be a career-high mark, an uptick in his strikeout rate (23.6 percent) along with a deflated .234 BABIP has limited him to a .232 average thus far. Unless Cabrera adjusts his plate approach and trades more fly balls for line drives, his batting-average floor may be lower than his investors anticipated heading into draft day.

Olson (hand) went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Fresno on Sunday.

Olson has now hit safely in three straight rehab games and has a pair of RBI during that stretch. The 25-year-old is likely to be evaluated Monday for a possible activation Tuesday.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Abreu tied the ballgame in the sixth inning with a solo blast to center, but Boston would erupt for seven runs in the eighth to take the series finale. The 32-year-old continues to swing a hot bat, improving his average from .218 to .291 while slugging four homers and notching 16 RBI over his last 11 games.

Hoskins went 1-for-2 with a double, two RBI and two walks Sunday against the Nationals.

Hoskins tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the sixth inning on a double to left field, giving the Phillies a 7-1 lead, which stuck as the final score. He's now hit safely in eight straight contests, slugging three homers and driving in 11 runs over that stretch.
