In 26 games since getting promoted to Double-A Erie, Clark is slashing .274/.371/.481 with four home runs and 10 RBI.

Clark has adjusted well so far to the jump up in level, and he's also impacting the game with his speed, as he has six steals in six attempts for Erie. The 20-year-old outfielder is one of the top prospects in baseball, and he has the potential to be a five-tool player at some point in the majors. For now, expect Clark to keep developing at Double-A, with a promotion to Triple-A Toledo a possibility later in the year.

Robles (shoulder) went 0-for-1 in a rehab game Sunday with Triple-A Tacoma before he was ejected from the game in the third inning.

Through the first five games of his rehab assignment, Robles has gone 5-for-15 with two doubles, two stolen bases, four RBI and two runs, but his return from the 60-day injured list may be further delayed by his actions in Sunday's contest. During his third-inning plate appearance, Robles took exception to an inside pitch by Las Vegas right-hander Joey Estes and threw his bat in the direction of the pitcher, which resulted in Robles' immediate ejection. Robles later apologized for throwing the bat in a post on his personal Instagram account, but he could still receive a suspension for the incident. The 28-year-old has been on the injured list since April 7 due to a small fracture and separation in his left shoulder and is expected to require about 40-to-50 at-bats during his rehab assignment before the Mariners activate him.

Baldwin went 3-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Royals.

Baldwin has seen his playing time fluctuate since late July and has started 12 of the White Sox's last 14 games. However, the recent returns of Miguel Vargas and Chase Meidroth from the injured list has created some crowding in the infield, which looks as though it will result in Baldwin seeing most of his opportunities in the outfield moving forward. He's still been included in the lineup in three of the last five games while alternating starts with Mike Tauchman, but his playing time may be hard to trust so long as the rest of the lineup remains healthy.

Garcia started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and run scored for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Garcia was introduced to first base during pre-game work the last two weeks, per Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, and Sunday was his debut at the position. There were no fielding issues, and he made a nice pick on a double play. Garcia is hitting at the Triple-A level, sporting a .308 average with a .945 OPS, but there's currently no room for him in Boston's outfield. Expanding his defensive versatility introduces another path to the majors, particularly at first base where the Red Sox are getting by with Abraham Toro and Romy Gonzalez. Of course, the pending signing of Nathaniel Lowe, who was designated for assignment by the Nationals over the weekend, could scuttle the notion of promoting Garcia to the majors and helping out at first base.

Carter went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 10-4 win over Toronto.

Carter put the finishing touch on the victory with a two-run homer in the ninth inning. It was his fifth in 59 games this season. Carter's hit safely in all four appearances since returning from the injured list last week, going 5-for-13 with three RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored.

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.

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.

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.

Buxton went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Tigers.

After going just 4-for-23 with a pair of extra-base hits in his first six games back from the IL, Buxton broke out with a big effort Sunday, highlighted by his 25th home run this season in the third inning off Chris Paddack. Overall, the 31-year-old Buxton is batting .280 with an .896 OPS, 61 RBI, 73 runs scored and 18 stolen bases across 394 plate appearances this season.

Abreu (calf) said after Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Marlins that he hopes to be out of the lineup for just a couple days before returning to the starting nine for Thursday's series opener against the Yankees, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The 26-year-old departed Sunday's game due to right calf tightness, though he made an impact prior to exiting with a two-run home run plus an additional run. Abreu appears set to sit out the two-game set versus Baltimore that begins Monday, but he should be able to avoid a stint on the injured list.
