Phillies' Alec Bohm: Extends hitting streak
Bohm went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Pirates.
Bohm plated a run with a bases-loaded walk in the eighth, allowing Bryce Harper to cross home plate, and later added another one with an RBI groundout that scored J.T. Realmuto. The third baseman has hit safely in four straight games and is slashing .333/.412/.433 over his last 10 games.

Michael Toglia 1B | COL
Rockies' Michael Toglia: Rises to Double-A
The Rockies promoted Toglia from High-A Spokane to Double-A Hartford on Sunday, Dave Nichols of The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports.
During his time at Spokane, the switch-hitting first baseman slashed .234/.333/.465 with seven stolen bases and a High-A West-leading 17 home runs. The 6-foot-5, 226-pound Toglia has also drawn favorable reviews for his defensive work at first base in addition to his power production at the dish. He'll likely remain with Hartford for the rest of the season.

After homering Saturday, Cronenworth knocked in two runs right away on a double in the first inning. In addition, he added another double and a single in the game.

On the season, he is slashing .279/.351/.477, trailing only Fernando Tatis (79) on the team with 73 runs scored.

LaMonte Wade Jr. LF | HOU
Giants' LaMonte Wade: Exits with lower back tightness
Wade was removed from Sunday's win over the Astros due to lower back tightness, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Wade returned to the lineup Saturday after he missed three games due to a bruised right lower leg, but he's now dealing with another injury that forced him out of Sunday's contest in the top of the ninth inning. It's not yet clear whether the issue will force him to miss additional time. Prior to his departure, the 27-year-old went 0-for-3 with a walk.

Diamondbacks' Asdrubal Cabrera: Not starting Sunday
Cabrera is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.
Cabrera is 5-for-20 with three doubles, four walks, four RBI and two runs in six games since returning from the injured list, and he'll receive the day off Sunday. Drew Ellis will cover the hot corner for Arizona in the series finale.

Donovan Solano 1B | TEX
Giants' Donovan Solano: Goes deep Saturday
Solano went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-6 win over Houston.
The infielder hit his first homer since June 26. Solano is rarely a threat as a power hitter, as his long ball Saturday allowed him to match his career high of four in a season. He's added 23 RBI, 27 runs scored, a pair of stolen bases and a .271/.327/.371 slash line through 278 plate appearances.

LaMonte Wade Jr. LF | HOU
Giants' LaMonte Wade: Homers in return
Wade (lower leg) went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 win over Houston.
Wade was held out of the lineup for three days after suffering a bruised right leg Tuesday. He made a fairly emphatic return to the starting nine with his fifth homer in his last 35 at-bats. The 27-year-old is up to 13 long balls, 30 RBI, 26 runs scored and three stolen bases through 183 plate appearances. It's unclear how the Giants' acquisition of the versatile Kris Bryant might affect Wade's playing time over the last two months of the season.
