Bichette went 2-for-6 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Angels.

Bichette posted his fourth multi-hit game in his last five contests, and he's had an extra-base hit in each one. He delivered a big one Sunday, hitting a game-tying solo shot in the eighth inning to knot the score at 10-10. The shortstop's surge has him up to a .253/.285/.419 slash line with seven homers, 24 RBI, 23 runs scored, 12 doubles and four stolen bases through 207 plate appearances.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.

Seager went 0-for-9 in the first two games of this series against the A's, but he went 4-for-8 with a pair of homers and a double in the most recent two contests. The shortstop's lone hit Sunday came in the first inning. He's up to 10 homers, 23 RBI, 23 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases while maintaining a .237/.306/.435 slash line in 196 plate appearances this year.

Pena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Pena went deep off Mariners starter Marco Gonzales in the second inning. That was Pena's fourth homer in May and his eighth long ball of the year. The shortstop has been steady with a .290/.340/.510 slash line, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored, three stolen bases, six doubles and a triple through 159 plate appearances in his first big-league season.

Anderson (groin) will require a trip to the injured list, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Anderson sustained a right groin strain while fielding a grounder up the middle during Sunday's win over the Cubs, and he had to be helped off the field. While manager Tony La Russa doesn't yet know the severity of the 28-year-old's injury, La Russa said that the shortstop will "for sure" require a trip to the injured list. Leury Garcia and Danny Mendick should see additional playing time at shortstop while Anderson is sidelined.

Adames (ankle) is scheduled to make his second rehab appearance Monday at Triple-A Nashville, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

As a test of the health of Adames' sprained left ankle, the Brewers plan to have him play consecutive days in the minors before bringing him back from the 10-day injured list. He made a successful return to action at Single-A Carolina on Sunday, when he served as a designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with a home run and a walk. If Adames starts at shortstop Monday and comes out of the rehab game no worse for the wear, he could rejoin the Brewers for Tuesday's game in Chicago against the Cubs.

The Pirates acquired Chang from the Guardians on Sunday in exchange for cash, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Chang doesn't have minor-league options remaining, so the Pirates will need to clear room for the 26-year-old on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Dodgers to facilitate the trade. With experience at all four infield spots, the righty-hitting Chang could prove to be a valuable bench piece who should play regularly against left-handed pitching. Over 358 career MLB plate appearances, Chang has slashed .208/.265/.372 (71 wRC+) with 10 home runs and one stolen base.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, three RBI and two runs in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Phillies.

After seeing his on-base streak come to an end in the second game of the Mets' May 21 doubleheader with the Rockies, Lindor has resumed raking at the dish. Over the six games that have followed, he's slashed .455/.500/1.000 with six extra-base hits, 14 RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base. He'll be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, playing shortstop and batting third.

Anderson was diagnosed with a strained right groin after exiting Sunday's game against the Cubs.

The 28-year-old suffered the injury while fielding a grounder up the middle during the fifth inning Sunday, and he needed assistance leaving the field. Anderson will be further evaluated Monday, and there's a decent possibility he requires a stint on the injured list.

Anderson was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs with an apparent right leg injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Anderson suffered the injury during the fifth inning while making a play on a grounder up the middle, and he favored his right leg while being helped off the field. The 28-year-old went 1-for-2 prior to this exit, and his availability going forward will remain in question until more is known about the injury.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

With doubles in each of his last four games, Bichette is beginning to warm up at the plate, but his contributions in the counting-stats categories are still lacking as a whole this season. Despite starting in all 46 of the Blue Jays' games to date, Bichette has supplied modest totals of 23 RBI, 21 runs, six home runs and four stolen bases. He'll remain in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, playing shortstop and batting third.
