    Pirates' Connor Joe: Losing work against right-handers

    Joe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

    Joe is on the bench for the Pirates' third straight matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher (Carson Spiers) and looks to have faded into a short-side platoon role. Edward Olivares looks to have overtaken Joe as the Pirates' preferred option in right field versus righties.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Produces lone run

    Toglia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Nationals.

    Toglia got the Rockies on the board first, launching a solo homer off Jake Irvin in the second inning. However, Colorado would go scoreless the rest of the way, and a pair of ninth-inning runs by the Nationals resulted in a Rockies loss. Toglia has been a mainstay in the Colorado lineup since being called up June 6 and has three home runs in his last nine games.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Not starting Sunday

    Hoskins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Sunday's game versus San Diego.

    Hoskins has tallied a base hit in each of his last five games, and he'll now get a day to rest versus Michael King and the Padres. Tyler Black will fill in as Milwaukee's first baseman and bat second.

  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Sitting down Sunday

    Flores isn't in the Giants' lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Flores will sit for a second consecutive game Sunday after going 2-for-15 with a double and an RBI over his last five contests. Trenton Brooks will instead start at first base and bat eighth during the series finale.

    Pirates' Connor Joe: Not starting Sunday

    Joe isn't in the Pirates' lineup Sunday against Tampa Bay.

    Joe will sit out a second consecutive game Sunday following an 0-for-13 stretch spanning his last four contests, prompting another start in right field for Edward Olivares.

  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Big day in rout

    Harper went 4-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    The 31-year-old superstar launched back-to-back homers with Alec Bohm in the third inning, accounting for half of the Phillies' long balls in the contest. Harper is having one of his patented hot streaks -- he's hit safely in 12 of the last 13 games, slashing .404/.475/.731 over that stretch with five doubles, four homers, seven RBI and 12 runs, chipping in a steal for good measure.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Reaches 10-homer mark

    Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Giants.

    Goldschmidt is 8-for-26 (.308) with two homers during his six-game hitting streak. He helped the Cardinals keep pace early in this contest before they ran away with the lead at the end. The first baseman has endured a tough campaign with a .230/.300/.364 slash line, 10 homers, 31 RBI, 36 runs scored, three stolen bases and nine doubles over 73 games.

  • Padres' Brett Sullivan: Brought up to majors

    The Padres recalled Sullivan from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Sullivan will take the place of Luis Campusano (thumb) on the active roster as Campusano hits the injured list. Sullivan should operate as the primary backup to Kyle Higashioka while Campusano is sidelined.

    Pirates' Connor Joe: Day off Saturday

    Joe isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game versus Tampa Bay.

    Joe has gone 0-for-13 with four strikeouts in his last four games, and he'll now get a day to regroup Saturday. His absence will open up a spot in right field for Edward Olivares to start while batting seventh.

  • LaMonte Wade 1B | CHW

    Giants' LaMonte Wade: Starting rehab assignment

    Wade (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Wade has been on the injured list since the end of May due to a Grade 2 left hamstring strain. The Giants haven't indicated how long Wade will remain on assignment at Triple-A, but considering he has been sidelined for nearly a month, it's likely he'll need to play a handful of games with Sacramento before returning from the IL.
