  • Goes deep in loss
    Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Cronenworth doubled his first time up and then would briefly put the Padres in front with a two-run shot to right off Taijuan Walker in the third. The 30-year-old has found his bat lately with seven hits and five RBI over his last five games. For the year, he's now slashing .264/.344/.453 with four homers, 19 RBI, 14 runs and a 12:19 BB:K in 122 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Clubs solo home run
    Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 3-2 in over the Mariners.

    Advice: Walker got things started with a solo blast off Logan Gilbert in the second inning to knot the game up at 1-1. He later doubled in the fourth but was left stranded. The 33-year-old slugger has notched at least a hit in five straight games while homering twice and racking up five RBI over that span. For the year, he's slashing .271/.383/.439 with five homers, 18 RBI, 21 runs and an 18:31 BB:K in 128 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
     
  • Plays in rehab game Sunday
    Davis (thigh/groin) started at designated hitter for Triple-A Las Vegas against Sacramento on Sunday and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run.

    Advice: Davis was given the green light to suit up Sunday after partaking in baseball activities with the Aviators on Saturday. Having apparently gotten through Sunday's contest without any issues, Davis is now slated to rejoin Oakland on Monday, when a decision on whether he'll need more rehab games or if he's ready for activation will be made.

  • Early exit Sunday
    Jones was forced to exit Sunday's game against the Rockies in the seventh inning due to back stiffness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Jones has battled back stiffness since Tuesday and was forced to miss two games with the issue. After managing to play the entirety of Saturday's contest, Jones was back in the starting lineup Sunday but was forced to exit early after going 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored. The team has not yet decided whether Jones will require a stint on the injured list, but manager Bud Black did say that he is concerned that the issue is recurring.

  • Three RBI across weekend series
    Diaz went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Rockies.

    Advice: The Astros scored 20 runs combined across their two-game series against Colorado, and Diaz drove in three of those runs. His damage Sunday came late in the contest, as he drove in a pair of runners with a double in the eighth inning. Diaz now has at least one hit in five of his last seven games, and he's collected four extra-base hits (no home runs) in that span. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:28 pm
     
  • Likely to lose playing time
    Abreu is likely to lose playing time due to the promotion of Joey Loperfido, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Abreu has had a rocky tenure with the Astros overall, and he's hitting a dreadful .099 across 77 plate appearances with a .269 OPS this season. The Astros have publicly remained hopeful that he can turn things around, though he's started only three of the team's last six games. Abreu's share of playing time is likely to only dip further, but his spot on the roster is most likely safe as he is signed through 2025 and is owed roughly $39 million for the remainder of the deal.

  • Goes deep Sunday
    Urias went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: Urias started two of the Orioles' three games against the A's, as playing time has opened up in the infield following Jackson Holliday's demotion to Triple-A Norfolk. The homer was Urias' first of the season, though that's in part due to his limited usage for much of the season. The utility infielder is slashing .186/.205/.279 with three RBI, five runs scored and a double over 44 plate appearances on the year. Urias, Jordan Westburg (illness) and Jorge Mateo will likely combine to cover second base and third base moving forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:00 pm

  • Launches walk-off homer
    Vientos went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run during Sunday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Vientos entered the contest as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth, notching a single. He came back to the plate in the 11th, when he plated Harrison Bader on a game-winning two-run home run. While Vientos was called up to fill the hole left by Starling Marte's (personal) absence, he could earn a permanent big-league spot if he continues to rake. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:39 pm
     
  • Breaks homer drought
    Freeman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Toronto.

    Advice: Freeman homered for the second time all season -- and hit his first long ball since March 28 -- while extending his hit streak to eight games. He's logged at least one RBI in seven of those contests (11 total) with a .444 batting average. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:03 pm
