Abreu is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Twins.

It's a rare day off for Abreu, who has started 39 consecutive games for the White Sox. The veteran first baseman is hitting an impressive .330/.394/.652 with nine homers and 26 RBI in 29 games since the All-Star break. Matt Davidson will man first base and hit third in his stead.

Bohm (knee) was activated from the minor-league disabled list Monday.

Bohm went 0-for-4 in his first game back with short-season Williamsport after spending more than a month on the disabled list with a knee injury. The 22-year-old is hitting just .179/.270/.196 through 15 games with the Crosscutters this season.

Voit was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Voit is up to replace Didi Gregorius, who was placed on the disabled list with a heel contusion in a corresponding move. Voit has gotten into 13 major-league games this season with the Yankees and Cardinals, hitting just .185. He'll likely be a bench bat during his time in New York.

Abreu went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 8-5 win over the Twins.

Abreu extended his hitting streak to seven games, during which he's gone 11-for-28 (.393) with five extra-base hits and 11 RBI. The slugger experienced a summer slumber, hitting .221 with seven home runs in 52 games during June and July, but has rebounded in August. Abreu is slashing .338/.380/.676 with six homers over 18 games since Aug. 1.

Smith was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Though Smith was temporarily sent back to the minors following Sunday's game, he will rejoin the active roster due to Brandon Nimmo's (finger) placement on the 10-day DL. During Monday's pre-game press conference, manager Mickey Callaway said Smith "won't get an extended run of playing time," but that he will see some starts at first base and in the outfield. Through 29 games with the Mets this year, Smith has slashed .194/.227/.347 with one home run and two RBI.

Cron is not in the lineup Monday against the Royals.

Cron has started against just one of the last four righties the Rays have faced, with Jake Bauers starting at first base and Ji-Man Choi starting as the designated hitter on three occasions, including Monday.

Smith was sent back down to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Smith joined the Mets prior to Sunday's Little League Classic versus Philadelphia in Williamsport, Pa. as each team was allowed an extra roster spot. Looking ahead, expect Smith to come back to the big leagues within the next couple weeks since rosters are about to expand in September. During Sunday's game, Smith went 1-for-1 with a double and one RBI in his lone at-bat.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Mets.

Santana provided the only damage for Philadelphia's offense Sunday, tagging Mets starter Jason Vargas with a homer in the sixth inning. The 32-year-old slugger is up to 18 home runs and 69 RBI alongside a .752 OPS in his first season with the Phillies. Santana should reach the 20-homer mark for the third consecutive season.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Athletics.

Gurriel took Sean Manaea deep in the third inning for his eighth home run of the season. Since bringing his average up to a season-best .310 mark on July 15, he has just nine RBI and 11 runs scored and is now batting .280. Though he's not known for his power production, he had also gone over a month without a home run prior to going deep on Wednesday against the Rockies. However, Gurriel has recorded at least one hit in six of his last seven games -- including four extra-base hits -- so he is showing signs of breaking out of this prolonged slump.

Cron went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Red Sox.

Cron went deep off Matt Barnes in the ninth inning to extend the team's lead heading into the final half-inning. The 28-year-old slugger has now homered in consecutive games after a slow start to the month (.214/.250/.429 across 13 games), so he'll look to keep things rolling as the Rays head to Kansas City for a four-game set with the Royals.
