Anthony (finger) will visit hand specialist Dr. Gary Lourie in Florida during the upcoming week, Chad Finn of The Boston Globe reports.

Anthony is headed to Boston's facility in Fort Myers to continue his injury rehabilitation, and while he's in Florida, he'll book a visit with the Atlanta-based Dr. Lourie. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Sunday that the visit to the hand doctor and Anthony's time in Florida are "for peace of mind" and to get the young outfielder to "a spot where he can focus each day on just pounding away at getting that hand healthy." Anthony has yet to resume a hitting program nine weeks after suffering a partially torn ligament in his right ring finger while taking a swing, and he remains without a clear timetable for a return from the 60-day injured list.

Ruiz went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Ruiz is up to 18 steals on the season, though his cold bat has decreased his opportunities on the bases lately. He has gone just 3-for-17 with one walk and five strikeouts over his last 11 contests, though he still has four steals in that span. The outfielder is batting .244 with an .838 OPS, four home runs, nine RBI, 23 runs scored, eight doubles and one triple over 106 plate appearances this season. Ruiz could get a longer runway in center field if Jakob Marsee (knee) misses time after exiting Sunday's contest early.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs, a double and two walks in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Hernandez homered in the first and sixth innings. This was his second multi-homer game of the season, and he's hit nine of his 11 long balls since the start of June. The outfielder is batting .234 with a .771 OPS, 34 RBI, 22 runs scored, six doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over 207 plate appearances this season. Hernandez continues to battle with Griffin Conine for playing time in the corner outfield spots.

Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies.

Schmitt went 5-for-13 with a homer and a double during the three-game series in Colorado. He had gone 0-for-12 in the Giants' previous series versus the Diamondbacks. The utility man is batting .283 with an .806 OPS, 17 homers, 45 RBI, 39 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and seven stolen bases over 81 games this season. Schmitt has taken on a starting role at third base since Matt Chapman (abdomen) got hurt.

Gilbert went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a third RBI in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies.

Gilbert made the most of his chance to start in center field, posting his first multi-hit game since June 20 versus the Marlins. He's mostly been in a bench role lately, going 6-for-19 over his last 13 contests. For the season, the outfielder is batting .243 with a .714 OPS, four homers, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored, nine doubles, two triples and no stolen bases over 198 plate appearances. Gilbert remains in the mix primarily in center field, though he's competing with Jung Hoo Lee and Jonah Cox.

Greene went 3-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a home run and four total RBI in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Greene homered for the second straight day, and he's now up to 13 long balls for the season. The All-Star outfielder has been surging lately with a .302 batting average, five home runs and 11 RBI over his last 12 games. After his breakout 2025 campaign, Greene is once again leading Detroit's offensive attack in 2026, giving him plenty of fantasy appeal.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals.

After a scorching hot June, Crow-Armstrong is keeping things rolling in July. The star outfielder has started the month with hits in four straight games, and he's 6-for-12 overall in July with a home run, two stolen bases, three runs scored and three RBI. In June, Crow-Armstrong batted .381 with a 1.249 OPS, eight steals, 11 long balls, 20 RBI and 21 runs scored across 26 contests. The 24-year-old is headed toward his second straight All-Star Game appearance with a ton of momentum.

Meckler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The left-handed-hitting Meckler will retreat to the bench for the second time in the series while the Red Sox send another southpaw (Ranger Suarez) to the bump. Josh Lowe will replace Meckler in left field and will bat ninth.

Marsee was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics due to a right knee contusion, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-1 with two runs scored before leaving the game.

Marsee was hit in the right kneecap by a pitch from Gage Jump in the third inning. The outfielder initially stayed in the game to run the bases but was replaced by Griffin Conine in the bottom of the frame. The good news for Marsee is that X-rays came back negative, and with the Marlins having an off-day Monday, he may not miss time and could be in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners.

The Rockies returned Doyle (oblique) from his rehab assignment Sunday, but he remains on the 10-day injured list.

Placed on the IL on May 21 due to a left oblique contusion, Doyle made enough progress in his recovery to resume playing in games for Triple-A Albuquerque on June 23. He went 7-for-22 with one home run and one stolen base over six contests, but he tweaked his left groin last weekend and then aggravated the injury again Saturday. Now back in Denver, Doyle is scheduled to undergo further evaluation from the Rockies' medical staff before the team determines a treatment plan. Doyle will likely remain on the shelf through at least the All-Star break.
