Bour (ankle) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Mets, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Tuesday will mark the third straight absence for Bour, who continues to nurse an ankle injury sustained during Saturday's game. As a result, Chris Johnson will again be the fill-in at first base, and he'll bat sixth in the lineup against the Mets' Steven Matz.

Bour (ankle) remains out of the lineup Monday against the Mets.

Bour will now have missed two straight games due to a sprained ankle, giving way to Chris Johnson at first base in each of those contests. The team hasn't provided much of an update on his progress, but no word of a possible DL stint has yet surfaced, so it looks like fantasy owners will just have to wait this one out.

Cabrera (knee) is back in the lineup Monday against the Marlins.

Cabrera was held out Sunday due to a sore knee, but the ailment won't end up forcing a multi-game absence. The shortstop will make start No. 78 of the season Monday, so his removal from the starting lineup Sunday could have just as easily been to get the veteran extra rest amidst back-to-back day games. Cabrera will bat fifth in the order against Tom Koehler in his return to action.

Calhoun is out of the lineup Monday against the Rays.

Calhoun will get just his second day off of the regular season, as he has made 81 starts in 82 games for the Angels so far this year. With Monday being the second of back-to-back day games for the Halos, the timing was appropriate for a maintenance day. Shane Robinson will draw the start in right field in his stead.

Carter is out of the lineup Monday against the Nationals.

Carter has been surprisingly durable for the Brewers this season, starting 77 of 81 games at first base. He'll get a regular day off for Monday's early contest, however, giving way to Jonathan Lucroy at first base while Martin Maldonado mans the backstop.

Santana went 2-for-4 with a double and scored the Indians' only run in Sunday's drubbing at the hands of the Blue Jays.

He was the only Cleveland hitter to have any real success against J.A. Happ. Santana's now begun July with three straight two-hit games, boosting his slash line on the season to .245/.342/.480.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a solo homer, a steal and two runs Sunday against the Giants.

Goldschmidt's 15th homer of the year came in the sixth inning to bring the Diamondbacks within two runs in a game they'd go on to lose in extra innings. With the blast, he broke a 12-game homerless drought and now has a .510 slugging percentage on the season.

Tellez had himself a day for Double-A New Hampshire, going 5-for-7 with three extra-base hits and five RBI in Saturday's doubleheader against Binghamton.

The Blue Jays' No. 8 prospect went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Game 1, then tacked on four more RBI while finishing a triple short of the cycle in the nightcap. After a slow start in Double-A, Tellez is now riding a nine-game hitting streak. The 21-year-old first baseman has gone 15-for-30 (.500) with three home runs and 11 RBI over that stretch.

Flores went 6-for-6, the second Met to ever do so, with a pair of home runs in the team's 14-3 win over the Cubs on Sunday.

Edgardo Alfonzo was the other Met to collect six hits in a game, performing the feat on August 30, 1999. Despite Flores' big game, he'll likely lose playing time when Jose Reyes is brought back to the majors. When that occurs, Flores will become the super-utility player he was intended to be to open the season.

Bour (ankle) is out of the lineup on Sunday night against the Braves.

Bour left Saturday's game after tweaking the ankle in the field, and was later diagnosed with a left ankle sprain. That ailment will cost him a start Sunday, as Chris Johnson will get the nod at first base. Consider Bour day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener on the road against the Mets.
