It was his second homer over the last three days, and he's now tallied at least a hit in six of his last seven games.

    Kirilloff has spent the start of the year recovering from a procedure he underwent on his wrist last August, and he completed a 20-day rehab assignment Sunday. He played 11 games between Single-A Fort Myers and Triple-A St. Paul during his rehab stint and slashed .316/.447/.658 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 10 runs and two stolen bases, and he'll be able to continue getting up to speed with the minor-league club before rejoining the Twins at some point.

The 25-year-old slashed .346/.469/.731 with three home runs, 11 RBI, eight runs and two steals over seven games during his rehab games in St. Paul and should continue to see regular at-bats in the minors until he's up to speed following his rehab stint.

    Athletics' Ryan Noda: Not starting versus southpaw

    Noda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Mariners' Ty France: Sitting again Sunday

    France is feeling under the weather Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports, and the first baseman isn't in the lineup for the series finale against the Blue Jays.

    France stepped out of the lineup Saturday while in the midst of a 1-for-25 slump, though he came off the bench and earned a walk as a pinch hitter. The Mariners have a scheduled day off Monday, and the 28-year-old should be back in action for Tuesday's series opener versus the A's. Sam Haggerty is manning first base and batting eighth Sunday.

  • Josh Bell DH | MIN

    Guardians' Josh Bell: Slugs third homer

    Bell went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

    Bell's blast got the Guardians on the board in the second inning. He's logged four extra-base hits over his last six games, but he's had some trouble establishing over-the-fence power this season. The first baseman is slashing .214/.316/.398 with three homers, nine doubles, 13 RBI and seven runs scored through 26 contests.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Still out Sunday

    Diaz will be out of the lineup for the second consecutive game after he exited Friday's contest with soreness in his left shoulder. The 31-year-old should be available off the bench and will now have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery before potentially missing more time. Luke Raley will start at first base in Sunday's series finale.
