Seager went 2-for-4 with a pair of homers and three RBI in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies.

Seager opened the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning and later added a two-run blast in the fifth. The shortstop has surged during a nine-game hitting streak, going 15-for-36 (.417) with three homers, nine RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base in that span. For the year, Seager has 11 homers, 31 RBI and 26 runs scored.

Story went 0-for-3 with two stolen bases and two walks.

Both times Story got on base, he stole second, but he didn't come around to score either time. The shortstop has cooled off in general lately, going just 8-for-32 (.250) with two RBI and three runs scored in his last eight games. He has 11 steals, nine homers, 20 RBI and 32 runs scored in 39 contests this season.

Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Bogaerts homered for the second consecutive contest, this time taking A.J. Cole deep in the eighth inning. He's now tallied 10 home runs this season and is hitting .281/.338/.541 with 24 runs scored and 26 RBI across 160 plate appearances.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with a double, walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Brewers.

Lindor started slowly this season, recording just 15 knocks in his first 65 at-bats. However, he has enjoyed a strong stretch since Aug. 11, going 30-for-93 (.323) with 10 extra-base hits over that span. In all, the shortstop is slashing a solid .280/.341/.453.

Edman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Cubs.

Edman's only hit came in his first at-bat, when he took Cubs starter Jon Lester deep. In the third inning, Edman reached on a fielder's choice and scored on a Paul Goldschmidt homer. The 25-year-old Edman is slashing .263/.320/.377 with two homers, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base through 30 games.

Crawford is dealing with minor hamstring tightness, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Manager Gabe Kapler revealed Crawford's injury after the game and called the issue "very, very mild." Given Kapler's lack of concern regarding the severity of the issue, Crawford shouldn't miss much time as a result.

The Phillies added Williams to their 60-man roster pool Sunday.

The 23-year-old utility man will report to the Phillies' alternate training site in Lehigh Valley after spending the 2019 season at Double-A Reading, where he slashed .238/.319/.395 over 504 plate appearances. Given his limited success in the upper levels of the minors along with the fact that he doesn't possess a spot on the 40-man roster, Williams is unlikely to receive a promotion to the big club in September.

Camargo is not starting Sunday against the Nationals.

Camargo has swung the bat well of late, collecting eight hits in his last 27 at-bats. However, he'll get a day off Sunday, with Adeiny Hechavarria taking his place at second base and batting ninth.

Rojas is not in the team's starting lineup Sunday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Rojas returned to the lineup Friday after battling an abdominal injury and has managed to reach base four times in two contests since. However, he'll take a breather Sunday, with Jazz Chisholm taking his place at shortstop and batting seventh.

Garcia is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

The 22-year-old has struggled to find his footing in the big leagues early on, slashing .161/.188/.161 with one stolen base through nine games. He will sit Sunday after five consecutive starts, with Kyle Farmer stepping in at shortstop against right-hander Chad Kuhl.
