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.

Diaz (hand/wrist) was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup against the Dodgers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

X-rays were negative on Diaz's wrist injury, which he suffered Sunday, but he will nonetheless be a late scratch after originally being cleared to play. According to Topkin, Diaz tried to swing before the game and felt too much pain. Ji-Man Choi slots in at first base, hitting third in his stead. Consider Diaz day-to-day for now.

Diaz (hand) will start at first base and serve as the Rays' leadoff hitter Tuesday against the Dodgers, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Diaz was pulled late in Sunday's series finale with the Yankees after being plunked on the left hand, but he's apparently feeling fine coming out of Monday's off day. While his health doesn't appear to be a concern as the Rays begin a five-game week, Diaz's declining production has made him a tough player to hold in shallower formats lately. Over his 15 games in May, Diaz is slashing .194/.242/.355 with two home runs, four RBI and eight runs.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a win over the Indians on Monday.

Olson launched a Carlos Carrasco third-inning offering 417 feet into the right-field bleachers for his fourth homer of the campaign. The 25-year-old has hit all of those round trippers over the last eight games, a stretch during which he also has all five of his RBI for the season.
