Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's extra-inning loss against Detroit.

Suzuki jumped on a center-cut fastball from Jack Flaherty, lifting it over the center-field wall for a two-run homer in the third inning. Things have been going well at the plate for Suzuki of late, as he's riding a nine-game hitting streak during which he has gone 13-for-34 (.382) with three long balls. Overall, the 31-year-old is slashing .273/.357/.476 with 16 homers, 50 RBI, 52 runs and a stolen base across 84 contests.

Greene went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's extra-inning win over the Cubs.

Greene opened the scoring with a three-run homer in the first inning, a 408-foot blast to right-center field that left his bat at 102.1 mph. After going deep Sunday against the Angels, the left fielder has now homered in back-to-back games for the fourth time this season. The 25-year-old continues to get better and better, slashing .288/.379/.475 with 15 homers, 50 RBI, 52 runs and two stolen bases across 99 contests.

Walker went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

Walker's hitting streak is up to 11 games, a span in which he has gone 13-for-42 (.310) with four extra-base hits, nine RBI and three steals. The outfielder has also drawn a walk in four of his last five games. For the season, he's batting .292 with an .880 OPS, 22 home runs, 14 steals, 76 RBI, 64 runs scored and 21 doubles over 97 contests.

Young went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and was caught stealing in Monday's 7-3 win over Colorado.

Young stung a solo homer in the sixth inning to give Washington a lead it wouldn't relinquish. Monday marked the 26-year-old's first three-hit performance of the season and his first long ball since June 1. Lauded for his defense in center field, Young is slashing .233/.289/.387 with nine homers, 33 RBI, 37 runs and 11 stolen bases across 89 contests.

Adell went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a hit-by-pitch and a second RBI in Monday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals.

Adell got the Angels on the board in the third inning with his homer. In the ninth, he took one for the team, as he was plunked with the bases loaded to drive in the winning run. The outfielder ran cold around the All-Star break -- he entered Monday 0-for-23 over his previous six games. Adell is batting .240 with a .680 OPS, 14 homers, 55 RBI, 43 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases over 100 contests this season.

Myers went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Monday's 8-0 loss to the Mariners.

Myers has started three consecutive games in center field, which is putting a pinch on TJ Friedl's playing time. All of those starts have been against right-handed pitchers. On the year, Myers is batting .262 with a .758 OPS, six steals, three home runs, 14 RBI and 19 runs scored over 149 plate appearances.

Carpenter has been playing through a bruised heel over the last few games, and he was removed from Monday's game against the Cubs after appearing to be in some discomfort, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Carpenter reached base on an error in the 10th inning, and after he appeared to be experiencing some discomfort, the Tigers elected to pinch run for him. It's encouraging that 28-year-old has been able to push through the injury over the last few days, but his status will be worth keeping an eye on heading into Tuesday's clash.

Robles went 4-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 8-0 win over the Reds.

Robles had gone just 4-for-27 over his first 13 games in July before doubling his hit total for the month with this performance. All of his knocks Monday were singles. Robles remains in a short-side platoon role for now, though his best chance at playing time would come be challenging the struggling Luke Raley. Robles is batting .240 with a .555 OPS, no home runs, five RBI, 10 runs scored, three doubles and seven stolen bases over 113 plate appearances this season.

The Mariners pulled Rodriguez from Monday's game against the Reds as a precaution, Tim Booth of The Seattle Times reports.

Manager Dan Wilson stated after the game that the team isn't overly concerned about a potential strain, but Wilson did want to get Rodriguez out of the game after he was hit by the throw from shortstop. The star center fielder can be considered day-to-day leading up to the second game of the series Tuesday.

Thomas was diagnosed with a bruised left wrist after exiting Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Thomas popped out to shortstop in his first at-bat of the night and then was plunked on the wrist in the third inning. He was able to play defense in the bottom of the third, but Lawrence Butler ended up subbing in for Thomas prior to the bottom of the fourth. The Athletics will likely evaluate Thomas further Tuesday morning before deciding if he'll be available for the second game of the series later that evening.
