Seager went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and an additional run scored during Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Seager entered Sunday's contest having gone 0-for-15 with one steal over his last four games. He broke out of his slump with a solo homer in the fifth before being brought home in the ninth on a two-run blast from Evan Carter. Seager has a .778 OPS with two steals, five homers and 14 RBI in 119 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over Toronto.

Semien was held out of the lineup Saturday after being hit in the right wrist by a pitch in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays. He was back in the lineup for Sunday's contest and made his presence felt immediately with a two-run homer to left field in the second inning. Semien has posted a .585 OPS with three home runs and 12 RBI over 119 plate appearances since the All-Star break, and Sunday's efforts marked his first multi-hit game since July 30 against the Angels.

Langford went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer during Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Langford was one of five Texas batters to smack a home run Sunday, with his taking place in the sixth inning to give the Rangers an 8-1 lead. He's up to 17 long balls on the season, which surpasses his total from his rookie campaign, though he has just two homers since the All-Star break. Langford has notched a hit in six of his last seven games and has gone 7-for-26 (.269) over that span.

Armstrong earned his fourth save of the season during Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays, striking out one batter across 1.1 innings.

The Rangers turned to Armstrong to get the final out in the eighth after Hoby Milner yielded a two-run homer to George Springer and Cole Winn walked two-straight batters. Armstrong helped Texas escape the frame by getting Alejandro Kirk out and stayed on to close things out in the ninth, ending the game by striking out Myles Straw. In 14 appearances since the All-Star break, Armstrong has allowed just one run on five hits and two walks while striking out 16 over 13.1 innings.

Butler went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

The Athletics outfielder cracked a 417-foot solo shot off Los Angeles starter Jose Soriano in the sixth inning. Butler has been cold since the All-Star break, batting .151 (13-for-86) with four homers, 12 runs scored and eight RBI across 26 games, as he's slipped into a strong-side platoon role. In 502 total plate appearances, the 25-year-old is now slashing .232/.304/.411 with 17 steals, 67 runs scored and 48 RBI.

Eovaldi (11-3) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out six across seven innings. He did not issue a walk.

Eovaldi gave up solo home runs to Alejandro Kirk and Vladimir Guerrero in the second and sixth innings, respectively, but it was otherwise a clean performance for the veteran right-hander. Eovaldi is now up to 13 quality starts on the season -- five of which have come over his last seven outings -- and he sports a 1.76 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 120:21 K:BB across 123 innings this season. His next start is lined up for next weekend at home against the Guardians.

Adell went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, four RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning victory over the Athletics.

The Angels outfielder opened the contest's scoring with a 395-foot, three-run blast off Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs in the first. Adell also plated the first run of the 10th with a single to break a 5-5 tie. Despite a ghastly .192 (11-for-57) batting average and 1:17 BB:K in August, the 26-year-old has still been valuable because he's notched six homers and 15 RBI across 15 games. Through 438 total plate appearances, Adell is slashing .228/.291/.466 with 26 long balls, 76 RBI and 47 runs scored.

The Red Sox are expected to recall Eaton from Triple-A Worcester prior to Monday's game against the Orioles, Andrew Parker of Beyond the Monster reports.

Boston won't announce the roster move until Monday, but the Wilyer Abreu (calf) could be a candidate to go on the injured list in a corresponding transaction. Eaton has previously seen action in 14 games with Boston this season, slashing .250/.296/.333 with three stolen bases over 27 plate appearances.

Soriano did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning win against the Athletics. He allowed five runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.2 innings with five strikeouts.

The Los Angeles right-hander coughed up a season-worst three long balls, as he was saddled with five or more runs for the eighth time in 26 starts. Soriano fired 102 total pitches but managed to generate only 10 whiffs while notching five or more Ks for the fifth time in his six post-All-Star break starts. Through 148.2 total frames, the 26-year-old now sports a 4.00 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 130:64 K:BB. Soriano is currently scheduled to make his next appearance at home against the Cubs next weekend.

Springs did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning loss to the Angels. He conceded five runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.2 innings with five strikeouts.

The Athletics southpaw was tagged for five or more runs for the sixth time this season in this 100-pitch outing. Springs gave up a three-run homer to Jo Adell in the first and then allowed the other two runs on a Christian Moore single in the fifth. Despite generating an astounding 18 whiffs, the 32-year-old struggled once again at home, where he now sports a 4.72 ERA across 66.2 frames (compared to a 3.80 mark in 73.1 road innings). Springs will carry a 4.24 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 114:44 K:BB into his next matchup, which is currently slated to come at Seattle next weekend.
