Nimmo went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Detroit.

Nimmo's fourth-inning single produced the Rangers' second run and was his first hit since returning from a shoulder injury. Prior to the injury, Nimmo was on a roll, having gone 17-for-57 (.298) with five walks, nine extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs scored over 14 games.

DeLauter went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the White Sox.

DeLauter got swept up in a slugfest, as the two teams combined to go deep five times. He belted a two-run shot in the first inning to erase Chicago's early lead. It was DeLauter's eighth home run of the season and first since May 17, a span of 30 games. Since being activated off the injured list in late June, the 24-year-old outfielder is batting .333 (12-for-36) with four extra-base hits, seven RBI, one steal (caught once) and five runs scored over eight contests.

The Mariners promoted Montes from Double-A Arkansas to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Montes slashed .234/.369/.550 with 25 home runs at Arkansas, which included a 1.199 OPS in June. Contact remains an issue, as the hulking slugger has struck out at a 30.4 percent clip in 2026, but he has some of the best power of any minor-league hitter and has a chance to reach the majors before the end of this season.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Sunday that Cruz (hand) is progressing well and will hopefully return from the 10-day injured list at some point shortly after the All-Star break, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

After shedding the cast on his fractured left hand, Cruz reported to the Pirates' facility in Florida last week to resume baseball activities. He looks poised to remain in Florida through at least the upcoming week to continue the ramp-up process, and if all goes well, Cruz could be ready for a rehab assignment once minor-league games resume following the All-Star break. The Pirates remain optimistic that Cruz will be ready to come off the IL before the end of July.

Soderstrom (hip) hasn't resumed baseball activities since landing on the 10-day injured list June 29 and will remain out through the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.

The Athletics likely won't have a more precise target date for Soderstrom's return until the discomfort in his right hip has subsided enough for him to take part in full hitting and fielding drills. While Soderstrom is on the shelf, Carlos Cortes and Colby Thomas could end up forming a platoon in left field, though Zack Gelof may also get some looks at the position if the Athletics are keen on opening up more opportunities in the infield for the likes of Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, Alika Williams and Max Muncy.

Carroll went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers.

Carroll doubled in Arizona's first run in the opening inning, and his seventh-inning walk contributed to the team's second run. It was a perfectly fine day for the outfielder, but Carroll has been mired in a slump. Entering Sunday's game, he had just one hit over the previous 24 at-bats. The left-handed hitter told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that right-handed pitchers have been problematic. Carroll, who owns a career OPS of .857 against righties, has fallen to .768 in 2026.

Tawa started at third base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Milwaukee.

Tawa, who was called up Sunday and gave Nolan Arenado a breather at the hot corner, stole his first base in three attempts in the majors this season. He's also had a couple of steals (caught once) in the minors. Tawa is not a volume base stealer but has swiped between 10 and 14 bags in each of five previous seasons of professional ball. He gives the Diamondbacks more flexibility off the bench than the player he replaced, LuJames Groover, who was buried at first base behind Pavin Smith and Ildemaro Vargas.

Adell went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Red Sox.

Adell tallied three singles, with his knocks in the first and eighth innings each plating a run. It was a much-needed performance for the right fielder, who entered Sunday's game 0-for-13 over his previous four contests. After launching 37 homers last season, the 27-year-old hasn't been able to replicate that power production in 2026, slashing .245/.290/.387 with 11 homers, 47 RBI, 39 runs and three stolen bases through 90 games.

Duran went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Angels.

Duran snapped a 15-game homerless streak, during which he went 4-for-50 (.080), with a two-run blast in the second inning to get the Red Sox on the board. The 29-year-old has struggled mightily at the plate this season, slashing .197/.259/.361 with 13 homers, 43 RBI, 39 runs and 14 stolen bases across 81 contests. Despite his struggles, Duran has continued to operate as the club's primary left fielder, though he cedes some playing time to Nate Eaton against southpaws.

Tatis went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a steal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.

Tatis collected a trio of hits, marking his eighth game this season with at least three hits as the Padres snapped an eight-game losing streak. After a brutally challenging start to the season, the 27-year-old has found his rhythm, slashing .299/.343/.480 with four homers, 16 RBI, 19 runs and seven stolen bases over his past 30 games. While the lack of power has been disappointing this season, Tatis continues trending in the right direction, raising his season line to .284/.345/.386 with five homers, 34 RBI, 41 runs and 21 stolen bases across 88 games.
