Guerrero went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-2 extra-inning loss to Cleveland.

The superstar slugger accounted for all of Toronto's run production with his sixth-inning blast. Guerrero is on a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 8-for-24 (.333). That's right in line with his play all year -- he owns a .328/.423/.659 slash line with 34 homers, 85 RBI, 82 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through 437 plate appearances.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a run-scoring sacrifice double play while adding a stolen base in a win over the Twins on Sunday.

Golschmidt bounced back from an increasingly rare 0-for-4 day Saturday and produced only his second and third RBI of the last 11 games. The veteran slugger has been highly productive otherwise in the second half of the season, posting a .290 average, .880 OPS, three doubles, four home runs, eight RBI, six walks, a pair of steals and eight runs across 15 post-All-Star-break contests.

Flores (back) is out of the lineup Monday against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Flores is out of the starting nine for the second straight day after exiting Saturday's contest with soreness in his lower back, though he did appear as a pinch hitter Sunday. The 29-year-old figures to be available off the bench again Monday.

Wade (back) is not in the lineup Monday at Arizona, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wade left Sunday's win over Houston with tightness in his lower back and will miss at least one game as a result. It's unclear whether the 29-year-old will be available off the bench Monday. Alex Dickerson will receive the start in left field while Darin Ruf works at first base.

Hoskins (groin) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

Hoskins continues to deal with a left groin injury, and he'll be held out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game. Brad Miller will start at first base and bat fifth.

Bohm went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

Bohm plated a run with a bases-loaded walk in the eighth, allowing Bryce Harper to cross home plate, and later added another one with an RBI groundout that scored J.T. Realmuto. The third baseman has hit safely in four straight games and is slashing .333/.412/.433 over his last 10 games.

The Orioles released Shaw on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

After failing to win a spot on the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Shaw was assigned to Triple-A Norfolk coming out of spring training. The 27-year-old corner outfielder has spent much of the minor-league season on the injured list and struggled mightily in the 14 games he played for Norfolk, slashing .026/.240/.026 while striking out in exactly half of his 50 plate appearances.

The Rockies promoted Toglia from High-A Spokane to Double-A Hartford on Sunday, Dave Nichols of The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports.

During his time at Spokane, the switch-hitting first baseman slashed .234/.333/.465 with seven stolen bases and a High-A West-leading 17 home runs. The 6-foot-5, 226-pound Toglia has also drawn favorable reviews for his defensive work at first base in addition to his power production at the dish. He'll likely remain with Hartford for the rest of the season.

Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

After homering Saturday, Cronenworth knocked in two runs right away on a double in the first inning. In addition, he added another double and a single in the game. The 27-year-old is batting .258 over the month of July with three homers, 14 RBI and 18 runs. On the season, he is slashing .279/.351/.477, trailing only Fernando Tatis (79) on the team with 73 runs scored.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Olson cranked his 28th home run Sunday off Reid Detmers in the third inning to give Oakland a 3-2 lead. He has slowed down over his last 10 games, batting just .176. However, he had seven long balls in July. On the season, the 27-year-old is slashing .280/.373/.580 with a team-leading 28 homers, 70 RBI and 69 runs in 428 plate appearances.
