Carrigg went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

Carrigg recorded the Rockies' lone extra-base hit of the day, ripping a double in the eighth inning as part of a multi-hit effort. Known for his blazing speed, the center fielder also stole second base after reaching on a fielder's choice in the first frame, marking the rookie's second stolen base in three attempts. Since being called up June 9, Carrigg is slashing .268/.382/.518 with three homers, three doubles, a triple, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored across 17 games.

Crow-Armstrong went 0-for-2 with three walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Despite going hitless, Crow-Armstrong found plenty of ways to impact Sunday's game. He drew three walks, scored a run during Chicago's decisive three-run 10th inning and swiped his 20th base of the season in the sixth. The outfielder has shown elite plate discipline of late, drawing at least one walk in eight of his last 10 games while batting .289 (11-for-38) over that span. Through 84 games, Crow-Armstrong is slashing .278/.364/.505 with 17 home runs, 13 doubles, four triples, 45 RBI and 51 runs scored.

Merrill went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Merrill has gone 14-for-55 (.255) over his last 13 games, a span that includes seven steals. The outfielder wasn't running all that much early in the season -- he's up to 17 thefts on 18 attempts now, but he has picked up the pace in the last couple of weeks. He's batting .212 with a .618 OPS, eight home runs, 31 RBI, 35 runs scored, 15 doubles and one triple over 79 games on the season.

O'Hearn went 3-for-5 with two homers, an additional run scored and four total RBI in Sunday's 9-4 win over the Reds.

O'Hearn put the Pirates ahead 5-4 with a 421-foot blast off Brady Singer in the fifth inning before extending the lead to 8-4 with his second home run, a three-run shot off Pierce Johnson in the eighth. Prior to Sunday, O'Hearn had homered just once in his previous 16 games. Overall, he's slashing .286/.342/.479 with 13 homers, 50 RBI and 38 runs scored across 284 plate appearances this season.

Ramos went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Ramos missed about six weeks due to a quadriceps strain. The outfielder is expected to take over as the starting right fielder for the Giants, but he served as the designated hitter in this contest. He's now hitting .268 with a .734 OPS, four home runs, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 45 games this season. Ramos' return adds a little bit of power to the lineup.

Shaw was removed from Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Brewers in the ninth inning as a result of wrist soreness, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Shaw opened the game on the bench as the Cubs opted to go with Michael Conforto in right field Sunday. Shaw entered the contest as a pinch hitter in place of Conforto in the top of the seventh frame, drawing a walk in his only at-bat of the day. When Shaw's next turn at the plate arrived in the ninth inning, Justin Dean batted in his place. The 24-year-old Shaw can be considered day-to-day with the wrist discomfort ahead of Monday's series opener against the Padres at home.

Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Though he'll hit the bench while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for the Giants, Yastrzemski still appears to have a hold on a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield. Yastrzemski has been seeing most of his starts in right field of late but should slide over to left field on a more regular basis once Ronald Acuna (hamstring) eventually returns from the injured list.

White is starting in right field for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Though he'll draw a start Sunday while lefty Robbie Ray toes the rubber for the Giants, the right-handed-hitting White has seen his opportunities to play against right-handed pitching dwindle of late. Atlanta has used Ha-Seong Kim at shortstop in its past two matchups versus righties, resulting in Mauricio Dubon moving into a corner-outfield spot and bumping White from the lineup on both occasions.

Gilbert is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Gilbert will be on the bench for the third time in four games and appears likely to move into a fourth- or fifth-outfielder role after the Giants welcomed Heliot Ramos (quadriceps) back from the injured list Sunday. Since the start of June, Gilbert has gotten on base at a .381 clip but hasn't hit for average (.208) or power (.271 slugging percentage) and has gone 0-for-3 on stolen-base attempts.

Lee will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Though he could wind up seeing most of his playing time in center field while Harrison Bader (foot) is on the shelf, Lee stick in a corner spot Sunday after the Giants made a late change to their lineup for the series finale versus Atlanta. Jonah Cox was added to the lineup in center field in response to left fielder Casey Schmitt (illness) being scratched from the starting nine.
