    Olson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Reds.

    Olson's sixth-inning blast put Atlanta ahead, and the visitors stayed in the lead from there. The first baseman continues to show off prodigious power with seven homers and 15 RBI over his last nine contests. He reached the 25-homer mark Sunday, a milestone he's notched in each of the last five full-length campaigns. Olson is slashing .236/.350/.541 with 60 RBI, 58 runs scored, a stolen base, 13 doubles and one triple through 77 contests.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Eventful day in loss

    Casas went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the White Sox.

    Casas gave the Red Sox a brief 3-2 lead in the top of the sixth inning when he homered off a tiring Lance Lynn's 99th pitch. He later couldn't make a clean play in the ninth -- a 102.9 mph ground ball from Gavin Sheets -- that resulted in Chicago's winning run. The play was initially ruled an error but changed to a single following the game. It took a tough hop, but both he and manager Alex Cora acknowledged it's a play he should have made, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. Casas entered the game with a negative-6 defensive runs saved entering Saturday, and earlier this month, Cora talked about a need for the first baseman to be better in the field. The miscue is unlikely to cost Casas his regular role in the lineup, but the Red Sox called up Bobby Dalbec this week, and he could give Casas an occasional break.

  • Alex Kirilloff LF | MIN

    Twins' Alex Kirilloff: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Kirilloff is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Kirilloff has a .567 OPS through 66 at-bats in June and will take a seat Sunday for the second time in Minnesota's past three games. Donovan Solano will step in at first base and bat second.
