Halpin went 0-for-1, was hit by a pitch, and stole a base in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Rays.

Halpin was one of three Guardians to reach scoring position, when he was hit by a pitch and stole second base in third inning. The steal was his sixth in six attempts and fourth in 12 games since being recalled July 9. Halpin has been a steady presence in the starting nine, even with the return of Angel Martinez from injury.

Atlanta will activate Acuna (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Mets, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

Acuna has been shelved since mid-June with a left hamstring strain, his second hamstring-related absence this season. He played nine rehab contests, going 6-for-26 with one home run and a 6:6 BB:K. In 53 games with Atlanta this season, Acuna has slashed .251/.373/.421 with seven home runs and 15 stolen bases.

The White Sox optioned Perez to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Perez socked a pinch-hit home run Sunday against the Astros, but the rookie outfielder has not started a game since the All-Star break. He'll play more regularly at Charlotte. Perez's demotion could signify Everson Pereira's (concussion) impending activation.

Trammell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 12-3 loss to the White Sox.

Making his first start in four games, Trammell tied things up at 3-3 with a 426-foot blast of Erick Fedde in the fourth inning, his fourth homer of the season. Lucas Spence had seen the majority of time in center field after Brice Matthews (knee) landed on the IL last week, though Trammell could be in line for more playing time as the rookie Spence has gone just 2-for-21 in his last six games. Overall, Trammell is slashing .238/.299/.389 with 13 RBI, 16 runs scored and three stolen bases across 138 plate appearances this season.

Thomas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Tigers.

Thomas opened Sunday's contest with a leadoff homer to right field off Framber Valdez. The outfielder has belted three homers in 10 games since the All-Star break, though he's gone just 8-for-39 (.205) during that stretch. Overall, Thomas is hitting .230/.327/.400 with 10 homers, 37 RBI, 30 runs and six stolen bases across 92 contests in 2026.

Adell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Adell walloped a Carson Whisenhunt changeup 446 feet to left-center field for a two-run homer in the fourth inning. The outfielder has reached base safely in six straight contests while clubbing three long balls during that stretch. On the year, Adell is hitting .243/.290/.403 with 16 homers, 59 RBI, 46 runs and three stolen bases across 105 games.

Trout went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Trout didn't drive in any runs, but he reached base in all four plate appearances during Sunday's win. It marked the three-time American League MVP's first four-hit effort since April 2021. Since returning from a right hamstring strain July 8, the 34-year-old has slashed .319/.421/.447 with a homer, three doubles, four RBI, six runs and a stolen base in 13 games.

Taylor went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Dodgers.

Taylor delivered a big swing in the sixth inning, taking Evan Phillips deep for a three-run homer that gave the Mets the lead. The blast was his eighth of the season. The veteran outfielder has heated up at the plate, going 8-for-20 (.400) with three home runs over his last 10 games. On the season, Taylor is slashing .237/.281/.481 with eight home runs, eight doubles, 23 RBI and 17 runs scored.

Arozarena went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

After Dominic Canzone crushed a three-run homer to give the Mariners the lead in the seventh inning, Arozarena followed with a solo blast to push the club's advantage to 5-3. Sunday marked the left fielder's eighth game with three-plus hits this season. He's been a steady offensive presence all year, slashing .284/.379/.448 with 12 homers, 46 RBI, 65 runs and 19 stolen bases across 98 contests.

Stowers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Padres.

After doubling in his first plate appearance, Stowers took Walker Buehler deep for a solo homer, giving him 13 long balls on the season. The outfielder entered Sunday in a slump, batting just .152 over his previous 12 games, making the multi-hit effort a welcome sign. Through 81 games this season, Stowers owns a .234/.315/.441 slash line with 18 doubles, three triples, 45 RBI, 37 runs scored and one stolen base.
