Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Tigers.

Rizzo homered in the first two games of the series against the Tigers and showcased his speed in Sunday's series finale despite failing to record an extra-base hit. Over his last six games, the 32-year-old has hit .227 with two homers, a double, seven RBI, four runs, a stolen base and four strikeouts.

Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and a walk in Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Brewers.

Cronenworth had an RBI single in the fifth inning and a three-run home run in the 10th, with the latter hit giving the Padres enough to win the game. He's now gone deep in consecutive contests after hitting just one long ball in all of May. The versatile infielder is slashing .217/.301/.353 with five homers, 26 RBI, 27 runs scored and no stolen bases through 53 games. He's added nine doubles and two triples while maintaining a consistent place in the starting lineup throughout the year.

Naylor is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.

Naylor is hitting .132/.214/.184 with zero home runs over his last 10 games. Owen Miller will start at first base while Richie Palacios starts at designated hitter.

Freeman went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Mets.

The Dodgers got four hits between Mookie Betts and Freeman at the top of the order, but they were unable to keep pace with New York's offense in the loss. This was Freeman's first multi-hit performance since May 26, a span of eight games. He's slashing a healthy .291/.378/.451 with four homers, 19 doubles, 34 runs, 30 RBI and five steals on the season.

Cron is not in Sunday's lineup against Atlanta.

Cron is hitting .200 with two home runs and 15 strikeouts over his last 10 games. Connor Joe will start at first base while Charlie Blackmon starts at designated hitter.

Torkelson is batting second Sunday against the Yankees.

He hasn't hit higher than fifth in the lineup over the past month, so this would be a nice development if it sticks. Torkelson is hitting .226/.314/.290 over his last 10 games, so he hasn't necessarily earned a bump up the lineup. Unless his production picks up, he will likely be back hitting in the middle or bottom third of the lineup once Austin Meadows (illness) and Robbie Grossman (neck) return from injuries.

Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Brewers.

San Diego finished with three extra-base hits in the contest, and Cronenworth was responsible for two of them. He knocked in a run with a double in the third inning and netted the final runs of the game with a two-run homer to right field in the fifth. This was a much-needed big performance by Cronenworth, who entered the contest having gone 4-for-20 with no RBI over his previous five games.

Alonso went 3-for-5 with two home runs, two runs and five RBI in a 9-4 win against the Mets on Saturday.

Alonso gave New York the lead for good with his two-run shot in the third inning, added a three-run bomb in the seventh and singled in the ninth for his second straight game with a home run. Four of the 27-year-old's last six hits have left the yard and he pulled into a tie with Mookie Betts for the NL lead at 16 while tying Jose Ramirez for the MLB lead with 53 RBI. Alonso is on pace for a career high in average and OBP with a .285/.363/.556 slash line through 55 contests.

Rivas isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Rivas entered Saturday's matinee as a defensive replacement in the top of the ninth inning, but he'll remain out of the lineup once again to close out the doubleheader. Frank Schwindel is starting at first base while Willson Contreras serves as the designated hitter.

Calhoun isn't starting Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Calhoun was hot at the plate last week, but he'll get a breather Saturday after he went 1-for-14 with a double, an RBI, three walks and three strikeouts over the last four games. Charlie Culberson, Eli White and Adolis Garcia are starting in the outfield from left to right.
