Guardians' Carlos Santana: Receiving Sunday off

Michael Toglia 1B | COL
Rockies' Michael Toglia: Sent to Triple-A
The Rockies optioned Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
The 26-year-old recently fell into more of a part-time role and has now lost his place on the major-league roster. Toglia has played in 85 games for the Rockies this season and has a .194/.261/.361 slash line and 38.3 percent strikeout rate over 329 plate appearances.

Ty France 1B | TOR
Blue Jays' Ty France: Exiting starting nine Sunday
France is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
After being acquired from the Twins on Thursday, France picked up starts at designated hitter and first base in the first two games of the Blue Jays' series with the Royals, going 1-for-8 at the plate. Though he'll hit the bench Sunday while Nathan Lukes gets a day off from playing the outfield and serves as Toronto's DH, France should have a fairly clear path to regular at-bats until the Blue Jays get one or two of George Springer (concussion), Andres Gimenez (ankle) and Anthony Santander (shoulder) back from the injured list.

Nate Lowe 1B | BOS
Nationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Receiving rest Sunday
Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Lowe appears to be getting a rare rest day Sunday after starting in each of the Nationals' last 38 games dating back to June 17. Josh Bell will cover first base, and James Wood will get a day out of the outfield as the designated hitter.

Ryan Noda 1B | BAL
Orioles' Ryan Noda: Up in big leagues
The Orioles recalled Noda from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
The 29-year-old was optioned to Norfolk after being claimed off waivers from the White Sox on Saturday, but Baltimore didn't wait long before adding him to the 26-man active roster. Noda appeared in 16 games for the White Sox earlier this season and went 3-for-34 with a 42.2 percent strikeout rate. He's played at the Triple-A level with three different organizations in 2025 and has a .194/.390/.366 slash line in 236 plate appearances.

Warming Bernabel 3B | COL
Rockies' Warming Bernabel: Another multi-hit game
Bernabel went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.
His sixth-inning double was enough to chase Paul Skenes from the game, and Bernabel was brought home two batters later on a Brenton Doyle single. The 23-year-old is off to a fantastic start to his major-league career, going 14-for-28 (.500) with four doubles, one triple, five runs, three home runs and seven RBI in seven games.

Pete Alonso 1B | NYM
Mets' Pete Alonso: Homers in second straight game
Alonso went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a double Saturday in a 12-6 victory versus the Giants.
Alonso set the tone for a big offensive night for the Mets when he cranked a three-run blast to center field in the first inning. The All-Star slugger has gone deep in each of his past two games following a rough 1-for-23 stretch at the plate. Alonso is up to 24 homers on the season as he seeks another campaign with at least 30 long balls -- the only time he hasn't reached that mark in his career was during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

Christian Walker 1B | HOU
Astros' Christian Walker: Goes deep again Saturday
Walker went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks Saturday in a loss to the Red Sox.
Walker gave Houston an early lead with a 433-foot blast in the first inning, but the Astros scored just once more in the contest. It was the veteran first baseman's second straight game with a long ball and his third home run of the second half. Walker has been hitting well since the All-Star break, batting .309 (17-for-55) with 11 RBI, eight runs and a stolen base through 15 games.

Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Continues power surge
Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 7-3 victory against Houston on Saturday.
Gonzalez plated Boston's first run with a solo blast to center field in the first inning. It was his second long ball over his past three games and his third across his past seven contests, though only four of those were starts. In fact, Gonzalez's past three homers have come across just 18 at-bats -- by comparison, it took him 136 at-bats to collect his first five long balls of the campaign. He's bashed lefties all season, with six of his eight total home runs coming against southpaws.

Bryce Harper DH | PHI
Phillies' Bryce Harper: Goes deep in loss
Harper went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Tigers.
Harper accounted for two of the Phillies' five hits off Tarik Skubal and made things interesting late with a two-run blast in the eighth inning. In 14 games since the All-Star break, the 32-year-old Harper has tallied five multi-hit efforts while launching six homers with 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and a stolen base. For the season, Harper is slashing .269/.375/.503 with 16 home runs, 47 RBI, 50 runs scored and 10 steals across 363 plate appearances.
