Rosario went 1-for-3 with two RBI, a run, walk and strikeout in a 6-5 victory against Toronto in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Rosario came alive late along with the entire Cleveland offense with a sixth inning RBI single and run and a bases-loaded walk the next inning to tie the game. The single snapped an 0-for-10 skid for the shortstop who's slashing a mediocre .243/.313/.358.

Semien went 3-for-3 with two doubles and a walk in Sunday's win over Cleveland.

Semien extended his hitting streak to seven games, but the shortstop has been seeing the ball well for an extended period of time and has hit safely in all but three games in the entire month. He's hitting .369 with eight homers, 12 doubles, a triple, 21 RBI, 22 runs scored and 11 walks across 122 plate appearances in May.

Merrifield went 2-for-5 with an RBI single, a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over Minnesota.

The second baseman hit a leadoff double and scored on an Andrew Benintendi single in the first inning. Merrifield also hit and RBI single, stole second and scored on a Salvador Perez single in the fifth. Merrifield leads baseball with 15 stolen bases this year. He's added a .251/.317/.374 slash line with four home runs, 28 RBI and 32 runs scored across 221 plate appearances. While his power is down in 2021 after slugging .440 last year, the 32-year-old remains a threat with his legs on the basepaths.

Guillorme (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment "soon," Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Guillorme has been on the injured list since April 30, and he made slow progress early in his rehab process. However, Guillorme could be reinstated from the injured list shortly after he's able to begin his rehab assignment.

Kim went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-4 loss to Houston.

The 25-year-old went deep off Houston reliever Andre Scrubb in the ninth inning. Kim is up to three homers, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases through 145 plate appearances. With Manny Machado back from a shoulder injury, Kim is expected to mostly serve in a utility role in the infield once San Diego returns to National League play Monday.

Garcia (hamstring) was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Garcia left Saturday's matinee with a hamstring cramp but didn't appear off the bench in Sunday's loss to the Brewers. He'll now return to the minors after he went 1-for-5 with a triple, a run and a strikeout in three appearances during his stint with the major-league club.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with three RBI in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Dodgers.

The Giants took the lead on Dubon's two-RBI single in the second inning, and they didn't trail in the game. He added some insurance with a sacrifice fly to score Donovan Solano in the eighth. Dubon has a .228/.262/.325 slash line with two home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base in 122 plate appearances this year. He's gotten a fair amount of playing time since San Francisco has dealt with injuries, but he may be best suited for a versatile role off the bench given his performance.

Clement was recalled from Triple-A Columbus for Sunday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old is looking to make his big-league debut before likely returning to the minors after the doubleheader. Clement has a .353/.389/.618 slash line through 10 games at Triple-A this season.

Manager Davey Martinez said Sunday that Garcia's MRI on his hamstring came back negative, confirming that it was simply a hamstring cramp that forced him to leave Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia did not play in Saturday's nightcap and he is not in the lineup Sunday. However, given Martinez's update, the infielder seems to have a good chance of being available off the bench in the series finale against the Brewers.

Espinal is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader at Cleveland.

Espinal has been the primary starter at third base since Cavan Biggio (neck) landed on the injured list, but he's been unable to solidify his grip on the role and is 3-for-20 over the past seven games. Joe Panik will receive the start at the hot corner in Sunday's matinee.
