Marsh went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two total RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-5 win over the White Sox.

Marsh put the Phillies ahead 4-3 in the third inning with an opposite-field shot off David Sandlin, his third homer in as many days and his eighth of the season. Marsh has been on a tear at the plate, going 12-for-24 over his last six contests. He's batting a league-leading .338 with an .889 OPS, 33 runs scored, 30 RBI and five stolen bases across 228 plate appearances this year.

Pages is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Angels on Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Pages will get a breather for Sunday's series finale while Kyle Tucker, Alex Call and Ryan Ward start in the outfield from right to left. Pages has logged one hit in seven of his last eight games and has gone 7-for-35 (.200) with three RBI and five extra-base hits over that span.

Cruz isn't in Pittsburgh's starting lineup for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta.

Cruz has started June in fine form, posting a .591 OBP with a homer, two stolen bases and seven walks through five games, but he'll get a breather Sunday. Jake Mangum is starting in center field for the Pirates.

The Pirates optioned Garcia to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Garcia struggled after getting called up May 19, posting a paltry .472 OPS with no homers or stolen bases and just two RBI while striking out at a 27.0 percent rate over 37 plate appearances. He started just twice over the past seven games and will now head back to the minors to get more regular work. Infielder Davis Wendzel was selected from Indianapolis to take Garcia's spot on the 26-man roster.

Lee went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

Lee collected two of San Francisco's five hits in this one, hitting singles in the seventh and ninth innings while scoring in the latter frame. The 27-year-old outfielder also logged his first stolen base of the season after his seventh-inning base hit. He's recorded at least one hit in 14 straight games dating back to May 14 and is slashing .324/.359/.449 with 30 runs scored, 21 RBI, three homers and a 10.4 percent strikeout rate across 231 plate appearances this season.

Harris (back) is not in Atlanta's lineup for Sunday's series finale versus Pittsburgh.

It'll be the second straight day on the shelf for Harris after he was removed from Friday's contest due to back tightness. Manager Walt Weiss has stated that the injury isn't serious, and Harris may be available to pinch hit, so his absence could be a matter of the team playing it safe with an off day scheduled Monday. Mauricio Dubon is starting in center field for the second straight game.

Pages went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Angels.

Pages gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead early with his first-inning blast. He had gone eight games without a homer entering Saturday, and he's also gone nine contests and counting since his last multi-hit effort, though he's hit safely in seven of those games. The outfielder is up to 14 homers, 53 RBI, 38 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 15 doubles and a triple while batting .283 with an .852 OPS through 65 games this year.

Freeman was removed from Saturday's game against the Brewers in the bottom of the sixth inning after he was hit by a pitch in the helmet, Kelsey Wingert-Linch of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

Freeman was hit in the side of the helmet with a 98 mph cutter from Jacob Misiorowski, who was visibly upset that the pitch got away from him. Freeman was able to walk off the field under his own power. Prior to leaving, he was 0-for-2 at the plate with the hit-by-pitch. Sterlin Thompson came on to pinch run for Freeman.

Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Reds.

The 24-year-old took Nick Lodolo deep in the fifth inning, snapping a brief 10-game power drought. Walker has strung together three straight multi-hit efforts, boosting the breakout star's slash line on the season to .301/.362/.559 through 61 contests with 16 homers, 10 steals, 43 runs and 46 RBI.

Dunn went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Getting the start in left field against southpaw Matthew Liberatore while Dane Myers covered center field, Dunn delivered his third straight multi-hit performance while swiping his third bag of the season. The 27-year-old has seized a regular role in the Cincinnati outfield by batting .324 (23-for-71) over his last 17 games with one homer, two steals, four RBI and 10 runs.
