Trammell went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a two-RBI double and an additional run scored during Sunday's 11-3 win over Seattle.

Trammell got off to a slow start with Houston this season, going 5-for-35 (.143) with 14 strikeouts before Sunday's outburst. The outfielder notched his second long ball of the campaign, tagging Bryan Woo for a solo shot in the sixth inning. While Trammell has never hit above .200 in an MLB season, his three-hit performance could be enough to spark a hot streak.

Abreu went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Sunday's 6-1 win over the Cubs.

All six of Boston's runs came in the seventh and eighth innings. Abreu led the charge, going yard in both frames. Sunday's performance marked Abreu's fourth multi-homer game of 2025 and brought his homer total to 20 in 310 plate appearances. The 25-year-old had one hit in his last 12 at-bats before the game. In 33 at-bats before that, Abreu hit .303 with five homers.

Ward went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and four RBI in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Phillies.

Ward drove in four runs on two doubles, highlighted by a bases-clearing gapper in the Angels' five-run second inning. The 24-year-old has come out hot following the All-Star break, tallying five extra-base hits and eight RBI over the weekend. For the season, he ranks fourth in the American League with 73 RBI while slashing .231/.304/.491 with 23 home runs, 55 runs scored and two steals across 421 plate appearances.

Vierling went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

Vierling's box score doesn't jump off the page, but he provided the key hit by delivering an RBI single in the top of the eighth inning that broke a 1-1 tie. The utility man has struggled to get his bat going during an injury-riddled season, though he's now riding a modest three-game hitting streak, and his playing time has been trending upward recently as well. His versatility gives him a path to a fairly consistent spot in the lineup if he continues to produce at the plate.

Wade went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Phillies.

Wade entered the game after Nolan Schanuel (wrist) was hit by a pitch in the first inning and responded with his first three-hit performance of the season, highlighted by a 422-foot homer in the sixth. The 31-year-old bench piece is now slashing .178/.282/.269 with two home runs, 18 RBI, 18 runs scored and one steal across 229 plate appearances this season and could see an uptick in playing time if Schanuel is forced to miss time.

Tauchman went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

Tauchman knocked a solo shot in the first inning, directly after Miguel Vargas belted a three-run homer. It was Tauchman's fifth long ball of the year and snapped a 24-game homerless drought. He also added a two-run double in the fifth inning for his first multi-hit game since July 7. Tauchman now owns a .289/.383/.464 slash line with 18 extra-base hits and 25 RBI through 47 contests.

Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Buxton clubbed his 22nd homer of the season during Friday's contest but will receive Sunday off after going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts during Saturday's loss. Harrison Bader will receive the start in center field and bat seventh for the Twins.

Loftin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Loftin has a .684 OPS in 13 games since the beginning of July and will head to the bench Sunday after starting the first two games out of the All-Star break. Adam Frazier is starting in left field and batting seventh in the series finale at Miami.

Kwan (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

The outfielder said Saturday that his wrist is feeling better after receiving an injection Wednesday, but he'll still sit Sunday for the third straight game coming out of the All-Star break. Nolan Jones will again man left field in place of Kwan, opening up right field for Johnathan Rodriguez.

Rafaela will start at second base and bat third Sunday against the Cubs, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

This will be Rafaela's second start at the keystone in the last week. Red Sox manager Alex Cora is following through on a statement from last week, when he said he planned on using Rafaela one of two times per week at second base in order to get as many lefty hitters into the lineup as possible against right-handed pitching.
