Cabrera (calf) is out of the lineup against the Mets on Wednesday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

Cabrera will remain sidelined for the second straight day after leaving Monday's contest with a left calf strain. In his place, J.P. Crawford will start at shortstop and bat eighth in the order. Consider Cabrera day-to-day heading into Thursday's series opener in Atlanta.

Abreu was hospitalized with an infection on his right thigh Tuesday and is expected to miss Chicago's series in Cleveland, which runs through Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Abreu is considered day-to-day but it sounds as though he'll miss at least a few games. Matt Davidson starts at first base in his place Tuesday and is the most likely candidate for an expanded role while Abreu remains out.

Voit is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

After starting his Yankees career with a 1.004 OPS over his first 23 games, Voit has gone just 2-for-15 over his last five contests. Neil Walker will get the call at first base.

Cabrera (calf) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Cabrera will give way to Scott Kingery at shortstop after exiting Monday's series opener with a left calf strain. The severity of the issue remains unclear, as does a timetable for his return, though more should be known after he's reevaluated Tuesday.

Shaw went 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles and a run Monday in the Giants' 4-2 win over the Padres.

After managing just one hit over his first 22 at-bats in the majors, Shaw has now turned in back-to-back multi-hit outings. Prior to getting called up from Triple-A Sacramento at the beginning of the month, the 24-year-old showed some intriguing pop during his time in the minors, clubbing 24 home runs and 21 doubles across 422 plate appearances. He put some of that power potential on display Monday, but Shaw will need to cut down on strikeouts in order to make a consistent impact for the Giants over the final two weeks.

Cabrera was removed from Monday's game against the Mets due to a left calf strain, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

It's unclear when Cabrera suffered the injury, but given the nature of the injury, he'll likely be forced to miss at least a few games. His availability moving forward will be determined after further evaluation Tuesday.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Rays on Sunday.

Olson continued to swing a hot bat through the entirety of the three-game set versus Tampa, and he's now hit safely in five straight games overall. That stretch includes back-to-back two-hit efforts, and his consistency at the plate throughout the month has helped lead to an impressive .311 September average.

Calhoun went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Mariners.

Calhoun's seventh-inning homer ended an 0-for-22 slump at the plate. The 30-year-old's seemingly endless second-half hot streak has finally come to a halt. Calhoun can still provide fantasy value even if he settles somewhere between his polar-opposite halves while batting leadoff for the Halos.

Shaw started in left field and went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Shaw has struggled since being called up Aug. 31 (.115/.172/.231 in 29 plate appearances), so Sunday's two-hit game was a big step in the right direction. The 24-year-old had been situated on the bench for seven of the last eight contests, but Brandon Belt's (knee) absence allowed the young slugger to return to the lineup with Austin Slater sliding over to cover first base. It is unclear if the Giants -- who have nothing to play for -- will give Shaw an extended look at some point before the season comes to a close.

Cron went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two RBI and a walk Sunday against the Athletics.

Cron belted a two-run homer to kick off the scoring in the first inning, notching his 63rd and 64th RBI of the 2018 campaign. He'll continue to share playing time at first base with Jake Bauers down the stretch of the regular season. Cron sports a .252/.319/.485 slash line through 126 games this year.
