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.

Gurriel went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to San Francisco.

The 37-year-old provided an early spark with his first-inning long ball, and he continued his productive hitting throughout the game. Gurriel has posted five straight multi-hit games, going 12-for-23 (.522) with a pair of homers, seven RBI and five runs scored in that hot stretch. He's batting .324/.388/.490 with 12 homers, 66 RBI, 54 runs scored and a stolen base through 417 plate appearances overall.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said during an appearance on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that Voit (knee) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Voit is in the midst of his third stint on the injured list this season, this time due to a bone bruise and inflammation in his left knee. Though Voit could be tracking toward a return from the IL by next weekend or the week after, the Yankees don't appear to be counting on him reclaiming an everyday role at first base after the team shipped out two highly regarded prospects to the Cubs on Thursday to acquire Anthony Rizzo. With Rizzo off to a red-hot start to his tenure with the Yankees and with Giancarlo Stanton locked in as the team's regular designated hitter, Voit may need one of the two to miss time with an injury before regaining meaningful at-bats.

Wade was removed from Sunday's win over the Astros due to lower back tightness, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Wade returned to the lineup Saturday after he missed three games due to a bruised right lower leg, but he's now dealing with another injury that forced him out of Sunday's contest in the top of the ninth inning. It's not yet clear whether the issue will force him to miss additional time. Prior to his departure, the 27-year-old went 0-for-3 with a walk.

Gurriel will start at first base and bat third Sunday against the Giants, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

After batting cleanup in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Giants, Gurriel will be back to his usual No. 3 spot in the order for the series finale. The veteran first baseman has been among the hotter hitters in the Houston lineup of late; he enters Sunday's game with four consecutive multi-hit games, during which he's driven in five runs and scored four times. His average is up to a career-high .319 for the season.

Cabrera is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

Cabrera is 5-for-20 with three doubles, four walks, four RBI and two runs in six games since returning from the injured list, and he'll receive the day off Sunday. Drew Ellis will cover the hot corner for Arizona in the series finale.

Calhoun is not in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

Calhoun started the last eight games and will head to the bench Sunday with left-hander Julio Urias starting for Los Angeles. Josh Reddick will take over in right field for the Diamondbacks.

Vaughn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Vaughn will take a seat for the first time since July 20, ending a streak of 10 consecutive starts. During that stretch, Vaughn slashed .361/.410/.556 while picking up work in both left and right field in addition to making his first career start at second base. The White Sox will continue to find ways to keep Vaughn's bat in the lineup while he's rolling, though his lack of extensive experience in the infield aside from at first base means he probably won't play the keystone or third base with much regularity.

Rizzo went 2-for-2 with a home run, two additional runs scored and two walks in Saturday's win over the Marlins.

Rizzo has now homered in his two games with the Yankees after being traded from the Cubs before the deadline, and while the sample size is extremely small, the slugging first baseman has gone 4-for-5 with two homers and three walks. Already, Rizzo has done something no other Yankees player ever has. He's the first to reach base eight times in his first two games with the franchise.
