Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

A two-run single in the third inning got the Mets on the board before Alonso took Jose Alvarado deep for a solo shot in the seventh. In seven games since making a stunning early return from a wrist injury, the first baseman has gone just 5-for-28 (.179), but four of the hits -- two doubles and two homers -- have gone for extra bases.

Naylor went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Brewers.

Naylor got the Guardians on the board with a solo blast to right center off Corbin Burnes in the second inning. The long ball was just his second home run in June, but he's been swinging a hot bat over the course of the month, slashing .368/.397/.517 with 17 RBI, 11 runs and a 3:13 BB:K in 21 games since June 1. He now stands at 57 RBI for the year, which is currently fifth-most in baseball and the most by a Cleveland first baseman through just under 70 games since Jim Thome had 60 RBI in 1998.

Solano went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's win over the Tigers.

Solano kicked off the scoring after he got a hold of a hanging sweeper from Michael Lorenzen and sent it over the left field wall. Solano now has all three of his home runs this year over his last 13 games, a span during which he also boasts an impressive 12:7 BB:K. The 35-year-old has been one of the Twins' best hitters this season, slashing .277/.381/.397 with 16 extra-base hits, 19 RBI, 18 runs scored and a 26:45 BB:K over 215 plate appearances. He continues to hit toward the top of the order versus lefties but has not been able to maintain a consistent spot against righties.

Walker went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Giants.

Walker's first-inning double plated Ketel Marte with Arizona's first run and extended his career-best hit streak to 11 games (17-for-39, .436). The steal was his fourth, the most the 32-year-old first baseman's recorded since swiping eight bags during his breakout 2019 season.

Diaz went 4-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's win over the Royals.

The Rays mustered up just seven hits on the afternoon with Diaz having four of them. Sunday was his eighth multi-hit performance in June, and he now has nine hits over his last four games. Diaz has entrenched himself in the leadoff spot and has thrived, as he's now slashing .316/.404/.518 with 12 homers, 38 RBI, 51 runs and a 34:45 BB:K over 292 plate appearances. His .316 batting average is currently sixth-best in baseball and third-best in the American League behind only Bo Bichette and Austin Hays.

Steer went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

Steer got the Reds on the board with an RBI double in the third inning. He's gone 10-for-40 (.250) with eight RBI and three steals over his last 11 games while continuing to see consistent playing time despite a slowdown from his performance earlier in the year. The infielder has a .274/.361/.477 slash line with 11 home runs, eight steals, 43 RBI, 40 runs scored, 19 doubles and two triples through 75 contests overall.

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.

Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Wade returned to the lineup the past two games after missing some time with side tightness, and he'll take a seat Sunday after going 3-for-8 with a double, a walk and two runs. J.D. Davis will move over to first base while Isan Diaz covers the hot corner.

Toglia was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

The 24-year-old has spent the past month with the Isotopes and will rejoin the Rockies on Sunday after Mike Moustakas was traded to the Angels. Toglia has a .174/.240/.217 slash line in 25 major-league plate appearances this year, though he's hit well at Triple-A with an .820 OPS.

Casas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Casas has a 1.039 OPS and five extra-base hits in his past nine games, but he'll take a seat Sunday against Chicago lefty Tanner Banks. Bobby Dalbec will start at first base after being called up from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.
