Cabrera is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

He is 3-for-24 with a 34.6 percent strikeout rate over his last seven games. Patrick Wisdom is starting at third base and hitting seventh.

Cron is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Mets, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

With the Twins playing in a National League park, they are opting to go with Willians Astudillo at first base and Cron on the bench to open the game. With Jacob deGrom on the hill, perhaps they just want a guy in there who is unlikely to strike out, but maybe Astudillo has already ascended past Cron in the hierarchy for at-bats on the rare occasions when the Twins play in an NL park.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers as the Phillies beat the Nationals on Monday.

Hoskins' fourth homer of the season gave the Phillies the lead in the sixth inning off Anibal Sanchez. His fifth of the year gave his team a necessary insurance run in the eighth inning off Justin Miller. The first baseman has a .367 batting average and 15 RBI to go along with his homers.

O'Hearn will head to the bench against lefty Marco Gonzales and the Mariners on Tuesday.

O'Hearn has sat against every lefty and started against every righty so far this season. That pattern continues Tuesday, with Frank Schwindel starting at first base.

Tellez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

With a tough lefty (Chris Sale) on the mound for Boston, Tellez will head to the bench as Toronto counters with a more right-handed-heavy lineup. Lourdes Gurriel will step in for Tellez as the Jays' designated hitter.

Bour went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's 5-2 win over the Brewers.

The eighth-inning blast off Chase Anderson was Bour's first homer of the year. The first baseman has had a rough start to his Angels tenure, slashing .125/.282/.250 through nine games, but the power should come -- he's slugged at least 20 homers in all three of his MLB campaigns in which he played 100 games or more.

Calhoun (knee) is back in the lineup Monday against Milwaukee.

Calhoun left Saturday's game against the Rangers with a knee bruise after crashing into the outfield wall. He sat out Sunday's contest, but the injury was never expected to keep him out for long, and he's back after missing just a single game.

Bell went 2-for-3 with a homer, two RBI and two runs in a 7-5 victory against the Reds on Sunday.

The Pirates first baseman blasted his mammoth homer over the green wall behind the landscape in centerfield at PNC Park. It was his second straight game with a home run. Bell hit 5-for-8 in the final two days of the four-game sweep of the Reds this weekend to raise his average to .310. He also has five extra-base hits -- including two homers -- eight RBI and five runs in eight games this season.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Santana got the Indians into the scoring column in the first inning with a double to left field. The 32-year-old was impressive at the dish throughout a six-game homestand and went 8-for-21 with a home run and five RBI over that stretch. Cleveland will have Monday off before opening a three-game set with the Tigers on Tuesday.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Sunday's series finale against Minnesota.

Hoskins was responsible for the entirety of Philadelphia's offense in a tight 2-1 victory, clubbing a two-run blast in the sixth inning to give his team the lead. The 26-year-old has now homered in back-to-back contests and sits on three long balls along with 13 RBI over eight games in 2019. The Phillies will host the Nationals in a three-game series scheduled to begin Monday night.
