Dalbec went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Royals.

Dalbec recorded his fourth multi-hit effort in the last nine games and has hit safely in eight of those contests. During that stretch, he's 13-for-34 with six extra-base hits, eight RBI and six runs scored. He's worked on the timing of a leg kick, but Dalbec also choked up on the bat, per Jordan Horrobin of MLB.com. That has shortened his swing and improved his bat-to-ball timing. At a time when the slumping Dalbec was losing at-bats to Danny Santana, the young slugger has fended off the challenge.

France, whose wrist was briefly attended to by a trainer during Sunday's extra-inning win over the Rays, will get an MRI on Monday, the Associated Press reports. He finished Sunday's contest 1-for-3 with a solo home run.

France held his wrist after a swinging strikeout that ended the ninth inning, but he remained in the game for the top of the 10th before being removed for Taylor Trammell. France, who is hitting a blistering .433 over his last eight games, spent time on the injured list earlier in the season due to wrist inflammation, missing the minimum 10 days in that instance.

Flores went 4-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-2 win over Philadelphia.

Flores clocked a solo shot in the first inning before collecting three singles and scoring two more runs. The veteran infielder is riding a nine-game hitting streak and hasn't struck out in his last 10 games. He improved his slash line to .263/.337/.425 with five homers and 23 runs scored through 181 plate appearances.

Freeman went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in a 9-1 loss to St. Louis in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Freeman singled to lead off the fourth inning, then moved to third on an Ozzie Albies single. Albies eventually stole second, and that bought enough time for Freeman to steal home for Atlanta's lone run in the contest. The first baseman isn't known for his speed, but he's up to four stolen bases in five attempts this year. He's added a .247/.357/.467 slash line, 16 home runs, 40 RBI and 46 runs scored through 68 games.

Goldschmidt went 4-for-6 with a home run, four RBI and a walk across both halves of Sunday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

Most of the first baseman's contributions came in Game 1, where he hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning and added an RBI single in the sixth of a 9-1 win. Goldschmidt also got on base twice in the nightcap as St. Louis mustered just two hits in a 1-0 loss. The 33-year-old is slashing .255/.320/.419 with 10 homers, 38 RBI, 38 runs scored and five stolen bases across 294 plate appearances.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals.

Alonso has now reached base in each of his last five games, and he hit his first home run since June 9 in Sunday's matchup. He's now slashing .247/.333/.455 with 11 home runs, 35 RBI and 31 runs in 2021.

Cron went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Milwaukee.

Cron's two-run blast in the sixth inning was his ninth of the season and pulled the Rockies within a run of the Brewers. The 31-year-old slugger is heating up with the weather, going 10-for-24 (.417) with four homers and 10 RBI over his last seven games. He's sporting a .271/.371/.475 slash line with 28 RBI through 210 plate appearances.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Athletics.

Olson has reached base in each of the last 19 games, and he's had multi-hit efforts in three of his last four appearances. Across the last four contests, he's gone 9-for-18 with two home runs, five RBI, three runs and a stolen base.

Gittens was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Sunday's win over Oakland.

Gittens has been in the majors the past couple weeks but will return to Triple-A with Luke Voit (oblique) expected to return from the injured list Tuesday. Gittens appeared in nine games and went 2-for-19 with a homer and four RBI during his first taste of big-league action.

Walker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Walker will be getting a routine breather in the series finale, allowing Asdrubal Cabrera to pick up a start at first base. Through 17 games in June, Walker is batting .182 with a home run, nine runs and seven RBI.
