Flores exited Sunday's game against the Marlins since he was "feeling under the weather," Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Flores drew a walk and scored a run in the second inning Sunday, but he was replaced by Jason Vosler at third base to begin the third inning. It's not yet clear whether Flores will be available for Monday's series opener against the Rockies.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Angels.

Gurriel launched a two-run shot off Dylan Bundy in the seventh inning to tie the game at 2-2. He's been on fire this week, racking up three homers and 10 RBI over his last five games. The 36-year-old righty is slashing .333/.451/.560 through 91 plate appearances.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a sacrifice fly in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.

Abreu opened the scoring with a two-run homer off Rangers starter Kohei Arihara in the first inning. Abreu added a sacrifice fly in the second. The first baseman has five homers, 17 RBI, 11 runs scored and a stolen base in 21 games. He's struggled to make contact in 2021 with a 28.2 percent strikeout rate and a .225 batting average.

Freeman went 1-for-3 with a single in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks.

Freeman accounted for the Braves' only hit, as he knocked a single in the sixth inning, but it was a poor showing from the Braves' offense -- they went 1-for-21 as a team with two walks and six strikeouts. The star first baseman ended a two-game hitless streak but is having a down start to the year, hitting just .214 across 87 plate appearances.

Alonso went 1-for-2 with a home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Sunday's win over Washington.

Alonso launched his fifth homer of the season in the fifth inning off Patrick Corbin, and the slugger has gone deep three times over his last five games. He also extended his hitting streak to five games, a span in which he's racked up three homers, five RBI, four walks and four runs scored.

France went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two strikeouts Sunday against the Red Sox.

France now has eight doubles this season, and he has four of those over his last four contests. The second baseman extended his hitting streak to four games and has hit safely in nine of his last 10 appearances, hitting .382 in that span.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with Atlanta.

With southpaw Drew Smyly twirling for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Calhoun with take a seat after playing all seven innings in the Diamondbacks' 5-0 win in Game 1. He was one of Arizona's standout performers in the victory, going 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run.

Vaughn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

He'll be taking a seat after starting each of the last three games in left field while recording four hits -- all singles -- across 10 at-bats. Leury Garcia will fill in for Vaughn, who has yet to hit his first MLB home run but is reaching base at a .356 clip this season.

Cronenworth went 0-for-2 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

Cronenworth walked and crossed the plate on a wild pitch in the seventh inning, bringing the Padres within a run. He was then hit by a pitch in the eighth and got to second base on a double steal with Wil Myers, though both runners were left stranded. The second-year utility player has swiped two bags this season and is tied for the team lead with 12 runs scored.

Hiura went 3-for-4 with a double and a run in Saturday's victory over the Cubs.

Hiura had not recorded multiple hits in a game since April 10 and had not recorded three hits in a game since Aug. 19, according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, but he was able to snap both skids in Saturday's contest. While it has been a rough go of it at the plate for Hiura, the Brewers are giving him ample opportunities to get going, as he started all but three of the club's first 20 games this season.
