Bemboom went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in a victory over the White Sox on Sunday.

In his final at-bat of the game, Bemboom launched a 422-foot shot to right field with a man aboard. The blast was his first major-league home run and just the fourth base hit of any kind in his career. Prior to joining the Angels on August 11, the 29-year-old had spent eight seasons in the minors, collecting 34 long balls in 497 games.

D'Arnaud went 1-for-3 with a double, a sacrifice fly and a run in a win over the Tigers on Sunday.

D'Arnaud continued his resurgence from a recent slump, and he crossed the plate with the winning run on Ji-Man Choi's single in the ninth. The veteran has now hit safely in three of the last four games following an 0-for-20 skid that encompassed five contests earlier in the month.

Thaiss went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, and four RBI in Sunday's 9-2 win over the White Sox.

Thaiss opened the game's scoring with a three-run shot off White Sox starter Dylan Cease. The 24-year-old infielder has six homers since his MLB debut on July 3.

Nola went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against Toronto.

Nola smacked a solo homer in the fourth inning, marking his sixth long ball of the season. The 29-year-old is now slashing .314/.362/.537 with 14 extra-base hits and 13 RBI over 45 games in 2019.

Murphy went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Toronto.

Murphy launched a two-run home run in the fourth inning, handing his team a four-run lead. He'll end his week on a high note, as he's now homered three times in the last two days. Murphy will also head into Monday's series opener in Tampa Bay with a six-game hitting streak.

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

Stassi will give way to Anthony Bemboom behind the plate in what looks like a true timeshare at catcher. The two have alternated turns in each of the past six contests.

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

With starts in three of the previous four games, Trevino seems to have unseated Jeff Mathis for the top catching role in Texas. Mathis will get the nod in the day game after the night game, however, catching for Lance Lynn.

Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Garver will give way to Jason Castro after drawing six of the past seven starts at catcher. The 28-year-old is batting only .175 thus far in August but has kept his fantasy value afloat by homering three times, driving in seven and scoring six runs.

Leon will start at catcher and bat eighth Sunday against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Leon will crack the lineup for just the second time in seven games while top backstop Christian Vazquez shifts over to first base. Vazquez has shined both at the plate and behind the dish this season, so Leon isn't expected to see his workload pick up over the final few weeks, especially with the Red Sox trying to chase down a wild-card spot.

Trevino went 1-for-3 and was thrown out at home plate in Saturday's 12-7 loss to the Twins.

Trevino did not show good instincts on the base paths, stopping and starting twice on second base on Shin-Soo Choo's double in the sixth inning. This was his fourth start of the week, the most starts in a week since he was called up in late July. He's not known for his bat, a view reinforced during his time with the Rangers. Trevino is slashing .185/.185/.185 in nine games for Texas.
