    • X-rays on elbow negative
      Benson was removed from Sunday's loss to Boston after getting hit by a pitch on the inside of his left elbow, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. X-rays following the game came back negative.

      Advice: Benson was plunked during the bottom of the eighth inning and stayed in the game to run, but he was replaced by Nick Martini for the top of the ninth. Prior to leaving, Benson went 0-for-3, running his hitless streak to a career-high 21 at-bats. It's unclear if the injury will force Benson to miss much action, but it's unlikely he will be in the lineup Monday against Pittsburgh left-hander Bailey Falter. The lefty-hitting Benson doesn't get many opportunities against southpaws, against whom he's batting .095 (4-for-42) this season. Rotowire.com Today, 5:36 am

    • Logs fifth straight multi-hit game
      Gurriel went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Phillies.

      Advice: Gurriel returned to action after sitting out Saturday with minor elbow soreness. Sunday's two-hit outing gives the outfielder five consecutive games with multiple hits. He's 10-for-21 (.476) with nine singles and one home run during that stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 5:00 am
       
    • Headed for Triple-A Reno
      Thomas (hamstring) will take live batting practice Monday then head to Triple-A Reno to continue a rehab assignment, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Thomas will be the hitter in a live BP session thrown by Zac Gallen (hamstring). Thomas' rehab assignment was paused the middle of last week then resumed over the weekend; he had six combined at-bats over two games in the Arizona Complex League and played seven innings in center field Saturday. He said the hamstring responded well to the activity, and the Diamondbacks decided to move his rehab to its Triple-A affiliate. Rotowire.com Today, 4:53 am
       
    • Stays hot at plate
      Burleson went 2-for-4 with two RBI singles, a run scored and two stolen bases during Sunday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

      Advice: Burleson generated multiple hits for the third consecutive contest, building on a two-homer effort Saturday with a pair of RBI on Sunday. After stealing just two bases in his first 67 games, Burleson has swiped three in the past two contests and took second base on both of his hits. The outfielder is 24-for-83 (.289) in June and ranks in the top 10 in MLB in both runs scored and homers during the month. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:49 pm
       
    • Produces lone run
      Toglia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Nationals.

      Advice: Toglia got the Rockies on the board first, launching a solo homer off Jake Irvin in the second inning. However, Colorado would go scoreless the rest of the way, and a pair of ninth-inning runs by the Nationals resulted in a Rockies loss. Toglia has been a mainstay in the Colorado lineup since being called up June 6 and has three home runs in his last nine games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:44 pm
       
    • Goes yard again
      Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 4-0 win over Kansas City.

      Advice: Smith tagged Sam Long for a solo shot in the seventh inning, marking Smith's third home run in the last five games. During that stretch, he's 7-for-13 with six RBI. With third baseman Josh Jung (wrist) nearing a return, Smith could shift away from the hot corner and into the DH slot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:40 pm

    • Drives in two, swipes bag
      Taveras went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI single and a stolen base during Sunday's 4-0 win over the Royals.

      Advice: Taveras took part in the Rangers' three-run third inning, plating Nathaniel Lowe and Wyatt Langford on a two-run single with two outs. While he stole second base after the hit, he didn't end up coming around to score. The center fielder has been slumping in June, batting 7-for-61 (.115) with five RBI, five runs scored and a pair of steals. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:39 pm
       
    • Two doubles, steal in win
      Bader went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, one stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Bader entered Sunday 0-for-9 over his last three games. He broke the drought with his fourth multi-hit effort over 17 contests in June. While he's hitting .255 (13-for-51) this month, eight of those knocks have gone for extra bases, and he's driven in 11 runs. The outfielder is slashing .268/.316/.388 with four home runs, 13 doubles, 27 RBI, 27 runs scored and 10 steals through 67 games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:27 pm
       
    • Homers in loss
      Raley went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to Miami.

      Advice: Raley put the Mariners on the board with a two-run blast in the fourth inning. He entered Sunday's game in a 4-for-23 (.174) skid over his previous nine games. Raley has gone 16-for-59 (.271) with five home runs in 21 games this month. His season slash line is up to .263/.310/.463 with 18 extra-base hits and 22 RBI through 203 plate appearances.
