Andrus went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in a 14-1 win over the Mariners on Sunday.

Andrus has been red-hot all season, already up to 13 extra-base hits and 20 RBI. For reference, he had just 33 RBI in all of 2018. He's also collected three multi-hit games in his last four contests.

Albies went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and three runs scored Sunday against the Rockies.

Albies slugged a pair of solo blasts on the way to an 8-7 victory in the series finale. He's notched a base knock in eight of his previous nine contests, improving his batting average to .292 through 27 games in 2019.

Torres went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Giants.

Torres launched a 400-foot shot in the third inning, giving the Yankees a 6-0 lead. The middle of April was rough for the second-year star, but he's working on a six-game hitting streak after Sunday, bringing his slash line to .264/.297/.455 in 119 plate appearances.

Chavis went 2-for-4 with a home run in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rays.

Chavis has played a serviceable second base, although he made an error on an ill-advised throw during Sunday's game, while giving the Red Sox offense from the lower third of the order. Sunday's homer was his third in the last five games. With news that Dustin Pedroia (knee) and Eduardo Nunez (back) will begin rehab assignments this week, Chavis path to consistent at-bats will take a hit by next week. One solution might be to give more starts at first base, where Steve Pearce (.114) is doing little, or third base, where Rafael Devers (eight errors) continues to boot routine plays in the field.

Lowe is not in the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Lowe will sit for the second consecutive day as the Rays will square off against another southpaw, this time Chris Sale. Christian Arroyo will start at third base while Daniel Robertson gets the nod at second.

Kemp delivered a pinch-hit home run to give Houston a 4-3 extra-inning win over Cleveland on Saturday.

Kemp, who is struggling to keep his job on the roster, provided his biggest highlight of the season when he launched an Adam Climber sinker into the right field bleachers in the bottom of the 10th inning for a walkoff win. Prior to getting doused with the sports-drink tub, Kemp had gone 12 at-bats without a hit and was batting .143.

Drury went 3-for-3 with a walk and run in a 7-1 victory over the Athletics on Saturday.

The last time the 26-year-old's batting average was above .200 was April 5, but he's back above the Mendoza line thanks to the three-hit game. Drury is now 9-for-23 (.391) in his last six games. Overall, he is batting .209 with three home runs, five RBI and nine runs in 91 at-bats this season.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Brewers.

His solo shot off Alex Wilson kickstarted a four-run seventh-inning by the Mets, but the comeback attempt fell short. Rosario is now slashing .263/.307/.400 with two homers, two steals, nine runs and 15 RBI.

Solarte went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees.

Solarte hit the home run in the ninth inning as the Giants attempted to erase a six-run deficit, though the comeback effort eventually came up short. The 31-year-old is slashing .235/.291/.373 with seven RBI in 51 at-bats.

Hernandez is not starting Saturday against the Pirates.

Hernandez will sit after making five straight starts. He recorded just a single hit over that stretch and is 2-for-27 over his last nine games. Chris Taylor will start at second base.
