Flores is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers.

Flores will head to the bench for the second time in three games as Ketel Marte picks up a start at the keystone against right-hander Lance Lynn. Through eight games this season, Flores is hitting just .222/.276/.296 with two doubles and a 2:3 BB:K.

Guerrero (oblique) will report to Triple-A Buffalo, according to Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com.

Guerrero is ready to join Buffalo after completing a four-game rehab stint with High-A Dunedin, going 4-for-15 with a double in those appearances. The tentative plan is for the 20-year-old to get his timing down with the Bisons before earning a promotion to the majors.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners.

As per usual, O'Hearn will hit the bench with a southpaw (Yusei Kikuchi) starting for the opposition. In his place, Frank Schwindel will start at first base and hit fifth.

Guerrero (oblique) went 1-for-3 and was hit by a pitch for High-A Dunedin on Tuesday.

It's not an impressive line in the box score, but it did represent a big step in Guerrero's recovery, as he was playing back-to-back games for the first time on his rehab stint. The 20-year-old is 4-for-15 with a double through four contests for Dunedin, and he may not be far away from a promotion to Triple-A Buffalo -- the final stop before his big-league debut.

Diaz is not in the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Diaz will head to the bench for Wednesday's series finale after starting the past five games, going 5-for-21 (.238) with a pair of homers and a stolen base in those contests. Daniel Robertson will man third base and hit seventh in this one, with Ji-Man Choi at first base and Avisail Garcia at DH.

Freeman won't play Wednesday against the Rockies with the contest being postponed due to inclement weather in Colorado, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Atlanta and Colorado will hold a make-up game Aug. 26. Freeman and the Braves will return to action Thursday in Atlanta for the club's series opener with the Mets.

Cabrera is expected to return to the starting lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Cabrera was given an off day Tuesday after a whirlwind couple of days in which he flew from Anaheim (Calif.) to Miami (Fla.) to be sworn in as an American citizen before returning to Arizona on Tuesday afternoon.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 14-8 loss to the Twins.

Alonso now has a home run in three consecutive games while also collecting multiple hits in each contest. The 24-year-old owns a fantastic .385/.429/.923 slash line with five home runs and six doubles through his first 39 major-league at-bats.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Astros.

Voit took Gerrit Cole deep in the first inning for his third home run of the season. He is now riding a five-game hitting streak, though he has failed to record multiple hits in any game and his average still sits at just .195. Encouragingly, he has only struck out at a 22 percent clip to begin the season and has paired that with a strong .340 on-base percentage. Batting third in the Yankees' lineup due to injuries, Voit should rack up plenty of counting stats for the time being.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Goldschmidt took Ross Stripling deep in the fifth inning for his sixth home run of the season. After hitting four homers in the opening series of the season, Goldschmidt has continued to flash tremendous power. He has yet to have much batted-ball luck when he isn't going yard, as he has just two hits that haven't resulted in home runs to this point in the season.
