Kwan went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 3-1 win over Philadelphia.

Kwan ended an 0-for-10 run with a second-inning single and then drove in the Guardians' first run in the fifth inning. The multi-hit effort was his first since May 8. In nine games since the slumping Kwan was dropped from the leadoff spot, he's gone 6-for-24 with nine walks, one double and two RBI.

Cortes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's win over the Padres.

Cortes started the scoring quickly, lifting a Michael King changeup over the right-field fence for a leadoff homer. The outfielder later added a single in the ninth inning to record his 11th multi-hit effort of the campaign. Cortes has emerged as one of the Athletics' most consistently productive bats in 2026, slashing .350/.430/.553 with 14 extra-base hits (five homers), 17 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base across 142 plate appearances.

Nishida is expected to have his contract selected from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Nishida will join the White Sox in Chicago ahead of a four-game series against the Twins. The 25-year-old has produced a .347 average with one home run, 10 RBI, 33 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 124 at-bats in 33 games with Charlotte so far this season. Nishida has operated primarily as a second baseman at the Triple-A level, but he has combined to draw 10 starts in the outfield as well.

Meyers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Astros' 8-5 win over the Cubs on Sunday.

Meyers opened Sunday's scoring with a solo home run of Shota Imanaga in the second inning. It was Meyers' first extra-base hit since returning from the 15-day injured list Tuesday and his second home run of the season. He is slashing .231/.293/.385 with one steal and five RBI across 58 plate appearances this season.

Carter isn't in Texas' starting lineup Sunday against the Angels.

With the Angels sending southpaw Reid Detmers to the hill, Carter will begin the game on the bench. Sam Haggerty is starting in center field and batting seventh for the Rangers.

Cowser went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in a 5-3 win over the Tigers in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Cowser was on the bench versus southpaw Framber Valdez to begin the game. He entered in the eighth inning to replace Blaze Alexander, but it was an inning later when Cowser made his mark with a walk-off blast against Kenley Jansen. Cowser has hit safely in his last four games, going 4-for-8 with a stolen base and three strikeouts in that span. He's getting in the lineup more often against right-handed pitchers, which could lead to Tyler O'Neill seeing less playing time. Cowser is batting .200 with a .573 OPS, two homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored, a steal and two doubles over 103 plate appearances this season.

Meckler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

After being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday when Josh Lowe was demoted in a corresponding move, Meckler started in left field in the first two games of the series with Texas, going 3-for-6 with a home run, a walk and three RBI. Though he'll be on the bench Sunday against Rangers southpaw MacKenzie Gore, Meckler's solid pair of performances following his call-up could allow him to hold down a strong-side platoon role in the short term.

Vierling went 3-for-4 with one RBI in a 5-3 loss to the Orioles in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Vierling had gone five contests without a multi-hit effort, though he had a home run and three walks in that span. The outfielder has struggled to string together consistent performances at the plate this season. He's batting .217 with a .668 OPS, four home runs, 21 RBI, 12 runs scored, nine doubles and two stolen bases over 146 plate appearances. He has a clear path to at-bats as long as the Tigers are missing Parker Meadows (arm), Javier Baez (ankle) and Kerry Carpenter (shoulder).

Judge went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 2-0 victory over the Rays.

With the game still scoreless in the bottom of the ninth, Judge came to the plate following a Trent Grisham walk and launched an opposite-field, walk-off homer off Kevin Kelly. It's the first home run in 12 games for Judge, who'd been slumping mightily coming into the day, going just 1-for-23 in his prior six contests. Overall, Judge is slashing .250/.379/.557 with 17 homers (tied for second-most in the majors) with 32 RBI, 41 runs scored and five stolen bases across 234 plate appearances this year.

Butler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

On the bench for the sixth time in seven games, Butler looks to have moved into a fourth-outfielder role while rookie Henry Bolte has taken over as the Athletics' primary option in center field. After producing five hits in his first three big-league games, Bolte has slowed down of late with a .535 OPS over his subsequent seven contests, so it may not be long before playing time reopens for Butler if Bolte's bat doesn't start heating back up.
