Voit was traded from the Cardinals to the Yankees on Saturday along with international bonus pool money in exchange for Chasen Shreve and Giovanny Gallegos.

A 27-year-old right-handed first baseman, Voit probably fits better in the American League, as he profiles as a quality designated hitter against left-handed pitching. He was hitting .299/.391/.500 with nine home runs in 271 plate appearances for Triple-A Memphis this year and has a career .240/.307/.432 slash line with five home runs in 137 plate appearances in the majors. Voit could be summoned to the big-league club in the coming days if the Yankees would like a right-handed slugger on the bench, or they could just choose to wait until September.

Bell was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with a left oblique strain, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Jose Osuna, who was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move, is starting at first base and hitting fifth against righty Jacob deGrom. Colin Moran, David Freese and Sean Rodriguez will all be options to also get starts at first base while Bell is out. Bell is hitting .266/.347/.402 with just six home runs in 404 plate appearances.

Bell (side) isn't in Saturday's starting lineup against the Mets, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Bell exited Friday's tilt due to left side discomfort, and the Pirates have since called up Jose Osuna from Triple-A Indianapolis, so a short stint on the disabled list may be in order. More news on the extent of Bell's injury should surface in the near future.

Cabrera is set to bat fifth and man shortstop in his first start since being dealt to the Phillies, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Although the switch hitter figures to be used all over the infield, he'll draw the start at shortstop with Matt Harvey slated to toe the rubber for the Reds. Cabrera is batting .285 with 14 homers and 44 RBI (260 at-bats) against right-handed pitching in 2018.

Bour is not in Saturday's starting lineup against Washington, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Bour will get the day off as lefty Gio Gonzalez is slated to toe the rubber for the opposition. J.T. Realmuto is penciled into the lineup at first base.

Guerrero will join Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Guerrero was recently returned to the Double-A level after spending some time with High-A Dunedin following a knee injury that cost him over a month of time. The top prospect will get a chance to show off his skills at the highest level in the minors, though he's exhibited major-league readiness should Toronto elect to bring him up in September. Across 61 games at Double-A New Hampshire this season, he's slashed .402/.449/.671 with 14 home runs, 60 RBI and three stolen bases.

Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a game-ending solo home run to send the Angels to a 4-3 extra-inning victory over the Mariners on Friday.

The outfielder walked it off in this contest, touching up Juan Nicasio with a solo blast in the bottom of the 10th inning to send the Angels to the victory over their division rivals. It continued what has been a resurgent stretch for Calhoun following his dreadful start to the season, as his average is now finally above the Mendoza Line at .201. It'll take awhile for him to fully dig out of the early season hole, but his recent hot streak leaves hope he'll be able to do so.

Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the Cubs' 5-2 loss to the Cardinals on Friday.

It was the second straight game with a homer for the 28-year-old first baseman, giving him 14 long balls in 93 games on the season. He was able to raise his OPS up to an even .800 with this performance and his .264 average and .363 on-base percentage through 352 at-bats are right in line with his career numbers, although Rizzo's slugging percentage of .438 is lagging a bit behind his career mark of .481.

Bell was lifted from Friday's tilt against the Mets due to left side discomfort, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The severity of the injury remains unknown, although he'll likely undergo further evaluation prior to Saturday's matchup. Bell will be listed as day-to-day moving forward.

Bell was lifted from Friday's tilt against the Mets after suffering an apparent injury, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Bell ran slowly down the first base line on a groundout in the second inning, so Sean Rodriguez replaced him in the next frame. More news on Bell's injury is expected to surface in the near future.
