O'Hearn remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

O'Hearn made four consecutive starts in right field during the Royals' series in Toronto to close out the first half, but he's predictably faded back into a bench role coming out of the All-Star break with Kansas City having since returned 10 players from the restricted list. He'll be on the bench for the fourth game in a row, with Hunter Dozier having since taken over as Kansas City's everyday right fielder.

Hall is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

The Phillies will bring two of their righty-hitting bats off the bench as replacements for the lefty-hitting Hall and Didi Gregorius while southpaw Max Fried takes the mound for Atlanta. Alec Bohm will serve as the Phillies' designated hitter in Hall's stead while Johan Camargo comes off the bench to fill Bohm's usual post at third base.

Guerrero went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's victory over Boston.

Guerrero scored on a Cavan Biggio single in the first inning, then sent Raimel Tapia home on a single of his own in the fifth inning. This was the first baseman's fourth multi-hit performance in his last six games, raising his batting average from .268 to .280 during that span. Guerrero has an impressive .341 batting average for the month, but he has just two home runs in July after hitting nine in June.

Naylor went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox.

This was Naylor's third multi-hit effort in his last five games. He's gone 8-for-20 (.400) with five RBI and three runs scored in that span. He's continued to play well while seeing consistent time at first base, though he was the designated hitter Sunday. The 25-year-old is up to a .282/.332/.504 slash line with 13 home runs, 51 RBI, 30 runs scored and a stolen base through 262 plate appearances.

Alonso went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Padres.

Alonso put the Mets ahead with a three-run blast in the sixth inning, and he added an RBI double in the seventh that ended up being the game-winning hit. The slugger didn't let the All-Star break slow him down -- he's 6-for-10 in three games since the schedule resumed. The first baseman has 25 homers, 82 RBI, 53 runs scored, two stolen bases and 17 doubles while slashing .274/.349/.534 in 95 contests this season.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Kansas City.

Diaz drilled a solo shot off of Kris Bubic in the third inning, ending a 56-game homerless drought. He later doubled and scored a run in the sixth. The 30-year-old was in a 3-for-24 (.125) slump since his last multi-hit game July 11. Diaz improved his season slash line to .295/.409/.404 with 24 extra-base hits and 43 runs scored through 86 games.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in a 6-3 loss Sunday in Cincinnati.

Goldschmidt was the only player to get a hit off Tyler Mahle, and he took the starter deep twice, accounting for all the Cardinals' runs. He's now homered in four straight games -- five if you include his All-Star Game blast. It appears that the only thing that can stop Goldschmidt right now is the Canadian government, as he won't be able to be with the team due to the COVID-19 vaccination requirement in Canada when St. Louis begins a two-game series in Toronto on Tuesday. He'll rejoin the Cardinals when they return stateside Friday in Washington.

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

It's the third consecutive game on the bench for Wade since Clayton Kershaw is the third straight southpaw pitching for Los Angeles. Luis Gonzalez will man right field in Sunday's series finale.

Santana is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Astros.

Santana will get a breather after he went 1-for-6 with a solo home run and two walks in the first two games of the series. Ty France will start at first base while Sam Haggerty enters the lineup in right field and bats ninth in the series finale.

Cooper (arm) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Cooper appeared as a pinch hitter Saturday and was hit by a pitch in the right arm, forcing him to leave the game. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but it's a good sign the 31-year-old remains on the active roster after the Marlins made a flurry of roster moves Sunday. Avisail Garcia is resting his legs as the designated hitter while Bryan De La Cruz starts in right field.
