Torres went 1-for-2 with four walks, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-0 win over the Athletics.

Torres was on base regularly Sunday as he set a new season high in walks. The veteran second baseman put together the strong performance on the heels of hitting his sixth home run of the season Saturday. Torres is a steady offensive contributor with a good eye at the plate, and his current .389 on-base percentage would represent a new career best. His ability to get on base at a good clip should allow him to score plenty of runs moving forward and elevate his overall fantasy value.

Keaschall went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Seattle.

Facing Seattle closer Andres Munoz, Keaschall connected on an opposite-field solo homer to tie the game in the top of the ninth inning. The 23-year-old has homered in back-to-back games after going deep in Saturday's contest, bringing his season total to six. After a disappointing first few months of the campaign, Keaschall has begun to turn things around, slashing .302/.417/.477 with four homers, nine RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases over his past 30 games.

Young went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Twins.

Young was a frequent contributor in the win, recording the first four-hit effort of his career. The second baseman is in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak, recording multiple hits in five of those contests. On the year, the 23-year-old is hitting .269/.325/.421 with 14 homers, 51 RBI, 54 runs and three stolen bases across 113 contests.

Seigler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Seigler will head to the bench for the second time in the series after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 3-2 win. Nick Sogard will replace Seigler at second base and atop the batting order.

The Blue Jays transferred Sosa (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Sosa will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Jameson Taillon, whom the Blue Jays acquired in a trade with the Cubs. The 26-year-old infielder has been on the shelf since May 28 due to a right wrist contusion and was pulled off a rehab assignment in late June after experiencing a setback. He resumed taking live batting practice last week and should be ready to report back to an affiliate in the near future.

Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The left-handed hitter had started the last five games but will get a breather while southpaw Kyle Freeland toes the rubber for Colorado. Nick Loftin will check in for Massey at second base and bat second.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Lopez will retreat to the bench after starting 10 straight games at second base or shortstop. Cam Cauley will get the nod Sunday at the keystone, which is where Lopez is expected to see the bulk of his playing time after Corey Seager returned from the injured list Friday.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-handed hitter will be on the bench for a second straight day, as White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay takes the mound after lefty Noah Schultz worked in bulk relief Saturday. Ryan Vilade will cover the keystone Sunday in place of Palacios.

Sogard started at first base and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.

Sogard filled in for the injured Willson Contreras, who is in the concussion protocol. Sogard's stint at first is expected to be a short one, as Boston interim manager Chad Tracy told Tim Healy of The Boston Globe that Contreras is expected to play Sunday barring a setback.

Torres went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Athletics.

Torres has two homers and seven RBI over his last four games. The second baseman put the Tigers up 4-2 when he went deep in the fifth inning Saturday. He's now batting .266 with a .775 OPS, six homers, 25 RBI, 31 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases over 54 contests this season.
