Garcia went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Giants.

Garcia stole home as part of a double-steal in the first inning, the third time he's stolen home in his career. It was his fifth theft of the season. The slugger has been grinding at the dish; his first-inning single snapped an 0-for-16 run. For the season, Garcia is batting just .217 with a career-low .699 OPS through 62 games.

Romano (elbow) is expected to resume throwing Monday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The right-hander will throw from flat ground and stretch out to 150 feet before beginning mound work. The Blue Jays are proceeding cautiously with their closer after he received an anti-inflammatory injection June 2, but Romano might still be able to avoid a rehab stint before being activated from the injured list.

Semien went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-2 win over San Francisco. He was also hit by a pitch.

Semien was integral as the Rangers built an early 5-0 lead after two innings. He was hit by a pitch to lead off the bottom of the first, stole second base, then came home on Wyatt Langford's single. An inning later, Semien deposited a first-pitch slider into the stands in left for a two-run home run. He's reached base safely in nine straight games, going 11-for-31 (.355) with seven walks, two homers, three RBI and eight runs scored.

Holmes picked up the save Sunday against the Dodgers. He pitched a scoreless ninth but allowed two hits and struck out a batter.

Holmes quickly got the first two outs of the inning but then ran into some trouble after allowing back-to-back base hits to bring Mookie Betts up to the plate. Holmes was able to get Betts to whiff on a slider to end the game and pick up his 19th save. Holmes is now tied with Emmanuel Clase for second in baseball in saves. He's been excellent this season, posting a 1.23 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 29:8 K:BB in 29.1 innings.

Gil did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in 5.2 innings.

Gil held the Dodgers in check through the first four innings, but they broke through in the fifth on a two-run double from Mookie Betts. Teoscar Hernandez would add to that with a solo home run in the sixth, leading to Gil's exit. Sunday was the first time Gil had given up more than one run in a start since he allowed five against the Brewers on April 26. The Yankees are now 11-2 in games started by Gil, and he'll carry a magnificent 2.04 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 90:35 K:BB (75 innings) into a showdown versus the Red Sox over the weekend.

Grisham went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer and two walks in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

Grisham, who's been in the lineup the last four days while Juan Soto tends to forearm inflammation, provided some clutch hitting with a three-run blast off Tyler Glasnow in the sixth to put the Yankees up 5-3. Grisham now has five hits on the year, with three of those being home runs. He should continue to find himself in the lineup as long as Soto is unable to go. The 27-year-old Grisham is now slashing just .100/.258/.280 with nine RBI, four runs and a 10:19 BB:K in 62 plate appearances.

Cabrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

Cabrera opened up the scoring with a solo home run off the right field foul pole in the third inning. It was his first home run since May 1 and his first extra-base hit since May 5. He started off the year cooking at the plate but has cooled off considerably and now finds himself in a depth role with the return of DJ LeMahieu to the lineup. For the year, Cabrera is slashing .238/.278/.360 with five homers, 22 RBI, 20 runs and a 10:33 BB:K in 176 plate appearances.

Judge went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

Judge capped off his night with a no-doubt 434-foot blast to left field off Yohan Ramirez to put the Yankees up 6-4 in the eighth. He also tacked on an RBI double in the third and singled in the sixth before coming around to score on a homer from Trent Grisham. Judge has been on an absolutely torrid stretch at the plate. He has seven multi-hit efforts over his last nine games and is slashing .533/.650/1.300 with six homers, 18 RBI, 13 runs and a 10:6 BB:K over that span. He has started to distance himself from the rest of the pack, as his 24 home runs leads the way in baseball, while Gunnar Henderson is next behind him with 20.

Wallner went 1-for-5 with a double in Sunday's game for Triple-A St. Paul and is hitting .277 with six home runs and a 1.115 OPS over his last 13 games. He's hitting just .206 with 11 home runs and a .745 OPS overall at Triple-A in 46 games.

Wallner began the season as Minnesota's starting right fielder but was sent to the minors after hitting just 2-for-33 through 13 games. He had also struggled in spring training (5-for-38) and looked lost at the plate. His hitting woes continued at Triple-A, but he's finally figuring it out at the plate. With Minnesota's offense struggling, Wallner could get another shot soon if he stays hot.

Varland and Caleb Boushley are the two leading candidates to be called up from Triple-A St. Paul to make a spot start Tuesday against the Rockies in Minnesota, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

The Twins will give each member of their rotation an extra day of rest between starts by adding a spot starter in the mix Tuesday. Varland hasn't had much success in the minors since he lost the Twins' fifth-starter role and was sent to Triple-A in April. He owns a 5.31 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 44:14 K:BB in 40.2 innings at St. Paul this season.
