Solano went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two runs Monday in a 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

The two extra-base hits were Solano's first since he homered back on May 29 in a win over the Dodgers. The 33-year-old typically doesn't hit for much power, but his strong bat-to-ball skills often translate to high batting averages. He's hit over .300 in both of the past two seasons, and his current .267 mark in 2021 could stand to improve, as his .306 BABIP is abnormally low for him.

White (hip) went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Triple-A Tacoma's win over Sacramento on Monday.

White has served as the designated hitter in all three of his rehab games so far, and he's homered twice in that time. It remains to be seen whether he'll need to get some action in the field before being deemed ready for activation.

France went 1-for-3 with an RBI double, a walk and a run in a win over the Twins on Monday.

France's fifth-inning two-bagger plated Jake Fraley to close the Mariners' deficit to 3-2 at the time. France has now hit safely in three straight and five of his last six games overall, but he still has just a .240 average and .320 slugging percentage across 58 plate appearances thus far in June.

Voit (oblique) transferred his rehab assignment from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to Double-A Somerset on Tuesday.

Voit will prepare to make his second rehab appearance at a new affiliate after he went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a run scored while playing five innings at first base for the Triple-A club Sunday. The Yankees will likely want to see Voit play at least one or two nine-inning games in the field during his rehab assignment before most likely bringing him back from the injured list ahead of next week's series versus the Royals. Voit has been sidelined since May 25 with a Grade 2 oblique strain.

Kirilloff went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Kirilloff took Marco Gonzales deep to center field to break a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning. It was the 23-year-old's first long ball since May 2 and his first RBI in 10 days. He hasn't been particularly impressive, as he's slashing .254/.292/.443 with 5 home runs, 19 RBI and 15 runs scored through his first two months at the major-league level. Things should naturally become easier for him as he continues to get more reps.

Smith went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

The 26-year-old snapped an 0-for-21 skid with the performance. It's been a tough season so far for Smith, but he's hit three of his five homers through 12 games in June despite a lackluster .225 batting average.

Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.

It's the third homer in the last six games for the first baseman, giving him eight long balls on the year. Rizzo has found his stroke at the plate in June, slashing .286/.327/.531 with 11 RBI in 13 games as he looks to erase a sluggish start to the season.

Votto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's win over Milwaukee.

Votto socked his eighth homer of the season with a seventh-inning blast off reliever Eric Yardley. The veteran first baseman has been displaying lots of power of late with three homers over his last five contests. Votto has also hit safely in five straight games.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's win over the Marlins.

Goldschmidt was one of four Cardinals that recorded more than one knock. and the star first baseman was quite involved in the team's offense -- he delivered an RBI single that scored Tommy Edman in the fifth and later crossed home plate after an RBI groundout from Paul DeJong. The slugger is only hitting .248, but he's been turning things around of late with hits in seven of his last nine contests and a .293 average for June so far.

Bell went 1-for-3 with a walk in Monday's victory over the Pirates.

Bell went 0-for-4 at the dish in Saturday's twin bill, but he managed to walk in the third inning and singled to center in the sixth during Monday's series opener. He's now 9-for-36 with a home run and two RBI in June (12 games).
