  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Strong game versus Atlanta

    Bohm went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 win over Atlanta.

    Bohm opened the scoring with his solo shot in the second inning, which was his first homer of the year. The third baseman also got on with a single in the fourth and came around to score on an Andrew McCutchen single. Bohm has recorded multiple hits in four of his last seven games, going 9-for-22 (.409) in that span. He's batting .344 with four RBI and six runs scored in 39 plate appearances this year.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Triples in loss

    Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a triple and run scored in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

    Guerrero tripled in the fourth inning and scored on Travis Shaw's single two batters later. It marked the 21-year-old's first triple on the season and the third of his career. Guerrero has underwhelmed a bit thus far in 2020, slashing a modest .245/.321/.429 on the season.

  • Jose Abreu 1B | HOU

    White Sox's Jose Abreu: Keeps going yard

    Abreu went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Sunday against the Cubs.

    Abreu homered in his first at-bat -- which came in the second inning -- giving him home runs in four consecutive at-bats dating back to Saturday's contest. He now has 11 home runs on the season, six of which came in the team's weekend series against the Cubs. His incredible stretch of production has increased his line to .322/.365/.669 with 22 runs scored and 28 RBI across 126 plate appearances.

  • Yandy Diaz DH | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Reaches base four times

    Diaz went 2-for-2 with two singles and two walks in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.

    Diaz raised his on-base percentage to a stellar .442 after reaching base four times Sunday. He hasn't provided much in the power department thus far, with just five extra-base hits on the campaign. Nonetheless, his ability to reach base at a high level certainly provides value to fantasy owners.

  • Donovan Solano 1B | TEX

    Giants' Donovan Solano: Not starting Sunday

    Solano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Solano started the first two games of the series but will take a seat after going 1-for-8 with one RBI and one walk. Wilmer Flores starts at the keystone Sunday while Pablo Sandoval serves as the designated hitter.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Royals' Ryan O'Hearn: Out again Sunday

    O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    On the bench for the second straight day, O'Hearn's status as the Royals' top first baseman may be on thin ice. He's supplied an uninspiring .613 OPS on the season, and that mark has dropped all the way to .484 over his last 10 games. Hunter Dozier replaces O'Hearn at first base in the series finale.

  • Yandy Diaz DH | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Good to go Sunday

    Diaz (face) will start at third base and bat third Sunday against the Blue Jays.

    Diaz was a late scratch ahead of Saturday's 2-1 win in 10 innings, but his absence from the lineup was seemingly just precautionary. The Rays are hoping the one day off won't disrupt Diaz's rhythm at the plate; he went 5-for-8 with a pair of home runs and a double over his previous two starts.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | ATL

    Blue Jays' Rowdy Tellez: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Tellez is not in the lineup Sunday at Tampa Bay.

    Tellez went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout during Saturday's contest and will return to the bench Sunday. Vladimir Guerrero will serve as the designated hitter while Travis Shaw starts at first base.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Draws third straight start

    Mountcastle will start in left field and will bat seventh Sunday against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The Orioles have deployed Mountcastle as their starting left fielder in each of the team's three games since he was promoted from the alternate site Friday. The 23-year-old has gone 1-for-6 with two walks and a run scored in his first two big-league games, and he should continue to enjoy a regular role for the Orioles the rest of the season, barring a prolonged slump at the plate.

  • Nationals' Asdrubal Cabrera: Not starting Sunday

    Cabrera is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.

    Cabrera started the past 14 games and had a .888 OPS with four homers during that stretch, so he'll receive a well-earned day off. Carter Kieboom receives the start at the hot corner Sunday for the Nationals.
