Stowers went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Giants.

Stowers opened the scoring in the second inning, taking Logan Webb deep for a solo shot that proved to be a key run in Miami's one-run victory. The homer was his eighth of the season and continued a recent power surge, as he has now gone deep three times in his last four games. The outfielder is batting .230 with five homers and 17 RBI across 17 June contests. On the season, Stowers is slashing .223/.319/.416 with 12 doubles, one triple, 28 RBI, 25 runs scored and one stolen base through 54 games.

Bolte went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 9-7 loss to the Angels.

Bolte has logged three steals on four attempts over his last six games. He's just 5-for-19 (.263) at the plate in that span, though he's added a respectable 5:8 BB:K. For the season, the outfielder is batting .315 with an .814 OPS, eight steals, two home runs, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and five doubles over 36 contests.

Siri went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-7 win over the Athletics.

Siri continues to fill in for Mike Trout (hamstring) in center field. The theft was Siri's first of the season, but he has shown moderate speed in the past, logging at least 12 steals in three straight years from 2022-2024. He's rarely held a starting role with any team, and with Trout's absence likely to be on the shorter side, Siri will probably be back in a reserve role in a few weeks. He has hit well this season, batting .297 with an .883 OPS, four home runs, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored and three doubles over 73 plate appearances.

Mangum went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rockies.

Mangum logged his fifth multi-hit effort over 17 games in June. He's batting .375 (21-for-56) this month, though his only extra-base hits are five doubles. The outfielder has taken over a strong-side platoon role in center field in the absence of Oneil Cruz (hand), but Mangum is also regularly hitting in the bottom third of the order, which limits his upside a bit. On the season, Mangum is batting .306 with a .722 OPS, one home run, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored, seven doubles and 13 stolen bases over 176 plate appearances.

Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rockies.

Reynolds has hit safely in his last 12 games, going 19-for-47 (.404) with five homers and 12 RBI in that span. The outfielder's blast in the seventh inning gave the Pirates some necessary insurance, as the Rockies rallied over the last two frames but couldn't catch up. Reynolds is now hitting .287 with an .884 OPS, 11 homers, 51 RBI, 52 runs scored, five stolen bases, 18 doubles and two triples across 78 contests this season in a strong bounce-back campaign.

Kreidler went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Kreidler was in the lineup versus a right-hander for the second game in a row, at the expense of Tristan Gray. With three hits in each of his last two games, Kreidler may be gaining some momentum for a stretch in the lineup at shortstop. On the season, he's hitting .295 with a .920 OPS, four home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored, three doubles and two triples over 89 plate appearances. He was also caught stealing Sunday -- he's 0-for-3 on the basepaths this year.

Rincones is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Since being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on June 12, Rincones has started in five of the Phillies' ensuing nine games while going 2-for-19 with a home run and two RBI. All four of his absences from the lineup have come versus left-handed pitching, and he'll likely remain limited to a platoon role until first proving that he can handle right-handers at the big-league level.

Crawford is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

The Phillies will keep Crawford on the bench Sunday, shielding him from a lefty starter (David Peterson) for the second time in the series. The rookie outfielder is slashing just .143/.231/.143 in 39 plate appearances versus same-handed pitching this season.

Hernandez (hamstring) is expected to report to Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin a rehab assignment this week in hopes of coming off the injured list for the Doders' series opener against the Athletics on June 29, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

The veteran slugger has been participating in live batting practice over the past few days, which could be the final hurdle before being cleared for minor-league action. Hernandez expected to be sidelined for about a month after sustaining a Grade 1 hamstring strain in late May, and he appears to be on track with that initial timeline.

Raley (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Raley will be on the bench for a sixth straight game, but his absence Sunday may have more to do with a lefty (Payton Tolle) making the start for Boston. The 31-year-old made enough progress in his recovery from an illness to make a pinch-hitting appearance in Saturday's 5-1 loss, with Raley striking out in his lone at-bat.
