Contreras went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in a 6-2 victory versus the Rockies on Monday.

Contreras put the Cardinals on the board with a big 443-foot solo homer in the fourth inning and gave the team its first lead with a run-scoring single in the fifth. The catcher-turned-first-baseman also stroked a double to finish with his third three-hit performance of the season. Contreras has gone 5-for-15 with three extra-base hits through the first four games of the second half.

Kurtz went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored, a double and a walk in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

The A's managed just five hits in the contest, with two of those coming off Kurtz's bat. Both of the young slugger's knocks went for extra bases, as he doubled in the fourth frame and belted a solo homer in the sixth. Kurtz tallied just one long ball across his first 23 big-league games, but his power stroke has blossomed since then. Over his past 39 contests, the rookie has 18 home runs, 12 doubles, 43 RBI and a .319/.404/.792 slash line.

Eldridge (hamstring) has gone 1-for-9 with a walk and two RBI in three games for Triple-A Sacramento since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

Eldridge had been on the IL since June 24 due to a hamstring injury, but he was cleared to return to the Sacramento coming out of the All-Star break after he played in a pair of rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League laat week. Since receiving a promotion from Double-A Richmond in early June, Eldridge is slashing .214/.269/.386 with three home runs in 19 games at the Triple-A level.

Blanco (leg) went 1-for-3 with an RBI on Saturday after being reinstated from Single-A Bradenton's 60-day injured list.

Blanco made his debut in full-season ball after a spring leg injury had kept him on the shelf all season. The 20-year-old first baseman appeared in two games in the rookie-level Florida Complex League last week before he was cleared to join Bradenton.

Toglia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Orlando Arcia will get the start at first base while Toglia exits the lineup for the first time since July 3. Since slugging his 10th home run of the season in a July 6 win over the White Sox, Toglia's production has tailed off at the plate. He's slashing just .125/.200/.188 with a pair of extra-base hits (both doubles) and a 40 percent strikeout rate over his last nine games.

Tellez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

With the Rangers facing a lefty starter (Jacob Lopez) for the second straight game, the left-handed-hitting Tellez will retreat to the bench. Until Jake Burger (quadriceps) returns from the injured list, Tellez could be in store for at least a semi-regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching at either first base or designated hitter.

Freeman (wrist) is starting at first base and batting fourth against the Twins on Monday.

Freeman exited in the sixth inning of Sunday's loss to the Brewers after he was hit by a pitch. He's avoided a serious injury and won't need to miss any additional action. Freeman is slashing .292/.365/.471 with 10 home runs, 49 RBI, 47 runs scored, one stolen base and a 35:84 BB:K across 367 trips to the plate this season. He also leads the league with 26 doubles.

Schanuel (wrist) will start at first base and bat second in Monday's game against the Mets.

After exiting early in the Angels' 8-2 win over the Phillies when he was struck by a pitch in the left wrist, Schanuel was diagnosed with nothing more than a bruise when X-rays came back negative. He appears to have responded well to treatment and will return to his usual spot in the infield as the Angels kick off a three-game set in Queens.

Kemp will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

After going 3-for-7 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run while starting at the hot corner in both of the final two games of the Phillies' weekend series with the Angels, Kemp will remain in the lineup Monday. The rookie looks set to see the bulk of the playing time at third base while Alec Bohm is on the shelf due to a fractured left rib.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Though he started in three of Boston's last four games, Gonzalez may not be a regular presence in the lineup against right-handed pitching moving forward with the Red Sox having recently gotten Masataka Yoshida and Alex Bregman back from the injured list. Gonzalez should continue to play frequently versus lefties, whom he's battered to the tune of a .389/.444/.708 slash line over 81 plate appearances in 2025.
