McLain went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

McLain broke a 2-2 tie with what proved to be the game-winning homer off Zac Gallen in the seventh inning. It was the 25-year-old's first long ball since May 15, and he's showing signs of life with five hits and four RBI over his past five games. On the year, he owns a disappointing .197/.283/.318 slash line with seven home runs, 22 RBI, 27 runs scored and 11 steals across 227 plate appearances.

McNeil went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double, four RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 13-5 win over the Rockies.

McNeil opened the scoring with a solo homer in the second inning and added a three-run shot in the fourth. The 33-year-old has now started seven straight games between second base and center field, collecting five extra-base hits during that span. On the season, he's slashing .257/.355/.533 with six homers, 17 RBI, 12 runs scored and a stolen base across 124 plate appearances.

Hoerner was ejected from Sunday's game against the Tigers for arguing balls and strikes, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

Hoerner struck out looking during the fifth inning and expressed his displeasure with the called third strike, which brought an early end to his afternoon. The second baseman finished the contest 0-for-2 and is now batting .231 (6-for-26) through seven games in June.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Gimenez has gone 4-for-13 with two walks, a double and two runs in four games since coming back from a quadriceps strain, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota. Alan Roden will receive a start in the outfield, pushing Addison Barger back to the hot corner and Ernie Clement to second base.

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

Massey has now started just two of the Royals' last five games against right-handed pitching. Over his last 10 games, Massey is slashing just .154/.185/.154, bringing his OPS down to .479 for the season.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Schneemann has made five starts against left-handed pitching this season, but he'll hit the bench Sunday with southpaw Brandon Walter taking the mound for Houston. Will Wilson is stepping in at the keystone and batting ninth for Cleveland in the series finale.

Kim went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.

Kim got the start in center field and continued to make a strong impression with his bat, collecting his third multi-hit effort across his past four starts. The rookie has gone 8-for-15 with a homer, two RBI and two stolen bases during that span but continues to play sporadically -- he didn't start in any of Los Angeles' three games prior to Saturday. Kim has started at three different positions (center, second base and shortstop) this season as manager Dave Roberts looks to find room for him on a talented roster. Kim has done all he can to make a case for playing time, slashing .411/.441/.554 with two home runs, seven RBI, 13 runs and six stolen bases (in six attempts) across 25 games.

Marte went 2-for-7 with a two-run home run in losses to the Reds on Friday and Saturday. The Friday game was suspended after six innings due to weather and completed Saturday.

Marte launched his 12th homer of the year during the Friday portion of the suspended game, giving him home runs in consecutive games and four in a four-game span. Marte has nine home runs and 16 RBI over the last 19 contests, during which he's slashed .342/.455/.740 across 89 plate appearances.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Saturday's 11-10 loss to the Marlins in extras.

Lowe hit his 13th home run on the season Saturday and knocked in his 34th RBI of the year in the process. The 30-year-old is on pace to top 30 home runs and 80 RBI, which would be his best season since 2021 -- the last time he was healthy enough to play more than 109 games. He is currently slashing .247/.298/.454 for the campaign.

Semien went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 5-0 victory over the Nationals.

After going 0-for-4 in the series opener against the Nationals, Semien bounced back Saturday to stay hot at the plate. He struggled mightily in May, slashing just .207/.302/.272 with two extra-base hits and eight RBI, but the second baseman is off to a scorching start to June with a .421/.522/.895 line, five extra-base hits and five RBI through six games. For a Rangers team that has underwhelmed in 2025, a resurgence from the 34-year-old could be a key factor in helping them work their way back into contention.
