Robles (shoulder) may advance to baseball activities before the end of July, but he is not expected back before September, MLB.com reports.

Robles began the strength-building portion of his rehab from a dislocated left shoulder in early June, which is expected to last around six weeks before he advances to light baseball activity, and as of June 30 Robles was on track in his rehab. If he avoids setbacks, the strength-building portion of his rehab could conclude in mid-to-late July, at which point he should be able to advance to baseball activity. It's not an exact timeline, as there could be setbacks or Robles could advance quicker than expected for the Mariners, but September has been mentioned twice during the process as an expected return date.

Loperfido went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Sunday's win over the Angels.

Getting the start in right field and batting eighth in his season debut for the Blue Jays, Loperfido made an instant impact when he brought Myles Straw home with a fourth-inning single, although he got caught in a rundown and tagged out trying to advance to second base. Loperfido had been on a roll at Triple-A Buffalo, slashing .303/.343/.455 with seven doubles and a homer over his last 15 games prior to his promotion Sunday, but it's not clear how much playing time he'll see during his current stint in the majors as Toronto has plenty of options for the corner outfield spots.

Greene went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-2, extra-inning win over Cleveland.

Greene waited for the 10th inning to make his mark Sunday, launching his 22nd home run of the season as the Tigers put up six runs in the frame to run away with the victory. The star outfielder will be starting in the All-Star Game this year for the first time in his career, and he's certainly earned the honor with a .286/.340/.539 slash line and 71 RBI through 89 games. Greene is ninth in the majors in home runs and sixth in RBI.

Martinez started in center field and went 2-for-4 with two doubles in Sunday's 7-2 extra-inning loss to the Tigers .

Martinez moved to center field after the Guardians placed Lane Thomas (plantar fasciitis) on the 10-day injured list, the second time he's landed on the IL with the same injury. Martinez has hit safely in five of his last six starts, but that's done little to halt the team's losing streak, which reached 10 games Sunday. Like several others in the lineup not named Steven Kwan or Jose Ramirez, Martinez is providing little impact. Going back to June 5, he's batting .210 (17-for-81) with a .296 slugging percentage and four RBI over 26 contests.

Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a second run scored in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Giants.

Soderstrom's fourth-inning homer snapped his 26-game drought without a long ball. In that span, he went 19-for-83 (.229) with just one extra-base hit (a double), though he did walk 12 times. The 23-year-old had no trouble delivering power earlier in the season, so this may be just the spark he needs to get on track again. He's slashing .253/.334/.436 with 15 homers, 49 RBI, 46 runs scored, five stolen bases, 12 doubles and one triple over 91 games.

Buxton went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Rays.

Buxton led off the game with a 414-foot blast for his 20th home run of the year. It's the second time he's reached the 20-homer mark in his MLB career and first since 2022. The veteran outfielder later singled and swiped second base in the third inning before scoring a run in the 10th. Buxton owns a .270/.334/.544 slash line with 34 extra-base hits and 16 steals through 314 plate appearances.

Ward went 3-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss against the Blue Jays.

Ward tied the game with an RBI single in the fifth inning and added a steal in the seventh. The 31-year-old is now riding a nine-game hitting streak that includes six extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .228/.305/.480 with 20 home runs, 59 RBI, 50 runs scored and two stolen bases across 377 plate appearances.

Kwan went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's extra-inning loss to Detroit.

Kwan broke a scoreless tie with his RBI double in the eighth inning and added an RBI sacrifice fly in the 10th. He has multiple hits in three of his last four games after a brief 3-for-28 (.107) skid over his previous seven contests. Kwan is now slashing .298/.358/.419 with 27 extra-base hits and 28 RBI through 370 plate appearances.

Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Sunday's 1-0 victory over the Pirates.

The Seattle outfielder notched the contest's only run with a 399-foot solo shot off Pittsburgh reliever Carmen Mlodzinski in the sixth inning. After a sluggish start with a .219 average through May 31, Arozarena has been on fire since then, batting .298 (37-for-124) with seven homers, six steals, 22 runs scored and 19 RBI across 33 games. Through 383 total plate appearances in 88 games, the former ALCS MVP is now slashing .249/.355/.446 with 14 long balls, 46 runs scored and 42 RBI while going 15-for-17 on steal attempts.

Altuve went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional RBI in Sunday's 5-1 win versus the Dodgers.

The Houston veteran tallied his team's final run with a 373-foot solo shot off Los Angeles reliever Anthony Banda in the ninth. Altuve, who has played at second base in 11 of his past 13 games, is now riding a five-game hit streak during which he's recorded three multi-hit efforts. Through 371 total plate appearances, the 35-year-old is slashing .272/.332/.457 with 48 runs scored and 46 RBI while going 6-for-12 on steal attempts across 87 games.
