McMahon went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against Atlanta.

McMahon popped his 10th home run of the season in the seventh inning. Four of those long balls have come across his last seven starts and eight appearances, and he's also chipped in six RBI and six runs scored in that span. After a slow start to the campaign, McMahon suddenly has a .733 OPS and .179 ISO across 282 plate appearances.

Lee went 3-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to Houston.

Lee provided all of the Twins' run production for a second consecutive game, clubbing a solo homer in the seventh inning off Brandon Walter on Sunday after belting a two-run shot Saturday. The 24-year-old has hit three home runs in his last seven games and has put together a 16-game hitting streak that has pushed his season-long batting average from .230 to .267. With the Twins placing Royce Lewis (hamstring) on the injured list Sunday, Lee appears poised to serve as the team's primary option at third base for the foreseeable future.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a stolen base during Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

Rojas swiped his fourth bag of the season Sunday and notched his third multi-hit game in his last nine outings. The 31-year-old has struggled at the plate this season, slashing .184/.261/223 with no home runs and four doubles over 112 plate appearances.

Vargas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Texas.

Vargas was the lone source of offense for the White Sox on Sunday, clubbing a solo homer in the sixth inning off of Jacob Webb. The round tripper extended Vargas' hit streak to five games. During that stretch, he's 7-for-20 with three doubles, a triple and five runs scored. He's now hit 10 home runs in a season for the first time in his four-year career.

Bohm went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored and two walks in Sunday's win over Toronto.

Bohm knocked an RBI single in the third inning before belting a two-run shot in the fifth. He's gone deep twice over his last four games after a nine-game drought. Bohm posted a .526 OPS through the end of April but is now slashing .283/.322/.404 and has five multi-hit performances in his last 12 games.

Kemp went 4-for-5 with three runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Toronto.

Kemp singled four times Sunday, including a two-run base hit in the fourth inning. He picked up his first career steal and has produced three multi-hit performances over his last six games. Kemp was one of six Phillies with multiple hits in the victory. The 25-year-old rookie is slashing .345/.387/.379 through his first 31 plate appearances.

Moncada (knee) is limited to taking swings off a tee from the left side and didn't travel with the Angels on their current road trip, MLB.com reports.

The switch hitter landed on the injured list June 2 due to right knee inflammation and hasn't yet been able to resume swinging a bat from the right side of the plate. Moncada may be reassessed when the Angels return home Friday. His timeline for a return remains uncertain, but late June appears to be a best-case scenario for him to be activated.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Padres.

Suarez broke up Nick Pivetta's no-hit bid in the fifth inning, just one at-bat after Josh Naylor walked to give the Diamondbacks their first baserunner of the game. This was Suarez's fifth homer in his last eight games, a span in which he has gone 8-for-30 (.267) with 11 RBI and 11 strikeouts. The third baseman is batting .233 with an .834 OPS, 21 homers, 57 RBI, 43 runs scored, 13 doubles and one stolen base over 71 games. He remains a productive power bat in the heart of the Arizona lineup.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The Dodgers are facing a lefty starter (Kyle Harrison) for the first time since June 5, so the left-handed-hitting Muncy will take a seat after he had been included in the lineup in each of the previous eight games. Miguel Rojas will step in at third base for Muncy and will bat ninth.

The Nationals optioned Tena to Triple-A Rochester after Sunday's 3-1 loss to Miami, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Tena earned a spot on the Nationals' Opening Day roster but had yet to make much of a splash through the first two-plus months of the season, slashing .248/.325/.365 with zero home runs, two stolen bases, 18 runs and 13 RBI over 154 plate appearances. The 24-year-old had been occupying the strong side of a platoon at third base with Amed Rosario, but the Nationals will call up prospect Brady House from Triple-A on Monday and are likely to deploy him as an everyday player at the hot corner.
