Tauchman went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored Sunday against the Giants.

Tauchman got things going for the White Sox early, doubling to lead off the home half of the first inning before coming around to score. Since returning from a four-game absence caused by a groin injury, Tauchman has gone 7-for-17 with one run scored while serving as the leadoff hitter against right-handers.

Greene went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Twins.

Greene doubled the Tigers' lead to 2-0 with his fourth-inning blast. It was his second homer in as many days, and he's hit six long balls while adding 19 RBI over his last 15 games. For the season, the outfielder has a .296/.348/.539 slash line, 19 homers, 63 RBI, 47 runs scored, 21 doubles and a stolen base across 83 games.

Ward went 3-for-5 with three doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 7-4 extra-innings loss to the Nationals.

Ward logged his first multi-hit effort since June 14 in Baltimore. While he hasn't been racking up hits much, over his last eight games he has one home run, seven doubles and a 7:10 BB:K to remain a consistent presence on the bases. The outfielder is up to a .216/.287/.481 slash line with 20 homers, 20 doubles, 57 RBI, 47 runs scored and one stolen base over 81 contests. Ward and Pete Crow-Armstrong are the only players to have 20 homers and 20 doubles this season though Sunday's action.

Altuve went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 2-0 win over the Cubs.

Altuve provided the only runs of the game, taking Jameson Taillon yard for a two-run shot in the fifth inning. The long ball was Altuve's 13th of the campaign, which is tied for the 19th-most in the American League. He's 22-for-91 (.240) with four home runs and an 11:16 BB:K over 25 games in June.

Carpenter was removed in the fifth inning of Sunday's game against the Twins due to a right hamstring injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. He went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI triple prior to exiting the game.

Carpenter appeared to tweak his hamstring while running out of the batter's box on his fifth-inning triple, resulting in the Tigers lifting him from the contest for a pinch runner. The Tigers should have an update on Carpenter's injury status during or shortly after Sunday's game once he undergoes further testing.

Bellinger went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, a double and three total runs scored in Sunday's 12-5 win over the A's.

Bellinger extended the Yankees' lead to 10-1 in the fifth inning with his home run off lefty Hogan Harris, his 11th of the year and just his second in 19 games. While he hadn't been hitting for much power, Bellinger has certainly been productive at the plate, going 17-for-42 (.405) in his last 10 games. Overall, he's slashing .270/.332/.460 with 42 RBI, 40 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 319 plate appearances this season.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs and an additional run scored in Sunday's 12-5 win over the Athletics.

According to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, Judge was nursing a sore back heading into the game, which was likely a factor in him drawing a start at designated hitter Sunday. He certainly wasn't slowed down at the plate, however, logging his fifth multi-home run game this season to give him 30 long balls through 83 contests. Judge, who went just 4-for-23 (.160 average) in seven games prior to Sunday, is still slashing a robust .356/.458/.722 with 67 RBI, 73 runs and six stolen bases across 369 plate appearances on the campaign.

Perez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Perez will head to the bench after he went 8-for-27 with four extra-base hits, seven runs and seven RBI while starting in each of the Tigers' last seven games. Though Perez will face more competition for playing time with the Tigers bringing back Matt Vierling (shoulder) from the injured list Saturday, neither player will be included in the lineup Sunday. Instead, the Tigers will have Kerry Carpenter start in right field and Colt Keith serve as their designated hitter, opening up third base for utility man Zach McKinstry.

Wallner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Wallner had started in each of the Twins' last 11 games, but he'll take a seat along with fellow left-handed hitters Trevor Larnach and Kody Clemens while Minnesota adds more right-handed bats to the lineup to counter Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. With Wallner and Larnach on the bench, Ryan Jeffers will get a day off from catching to serve as the Twins' designated hitter, and Harrison Bader and Willi Castro will pick up starts at the corner outfield spots.

McCormick (oblique) will report to the Astros' spring facility in Florida to face live pitching this week, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The 30-year-old landed on the shelf in late May due to an oblique strain but is now nearing the final stages of his rehab program. Manager Joe Espada indicated previously that McCormick would require a rehab assignment before returning from the 10-day injured list, which will likely be the next step if the outfielder faces live pitching with no issues.
