Hiura went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Cubs.

Hiura came through with a big home run in the third inning to knot the game at 3-3. It was his fifth home run of the season and pulled him out of a 1-for-20 slump across his previous five contests. Despite a decent homer tally, Hiura has struggled to a .225/.284/.438 line across 88 plate appearances this season.

Olson went 3-for-5 with three runs scored in Sunday's 15-3 win over San Francisco.

Prior to Sunday, Olson's last seven hits were all home runs, so his three-single day was certainly uncharacteristic. Thanks to his eight home runs this season, the 26-year-old owns an .808 OPS despite an unsightly .185 average.

Abreu went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Sunday against the Cardinals.

Abreu was the third hitter in a row to go yard in the fifth inning for the White Sox, as he took Roel Ramirez deep. It was Abreu's fourth home run of the season, and first since a mild hip injury that he suffered Monday. For the season, Abreu has managed a .250/.298/.443 line across 94 plate appearances.

Beaty went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

In the fourth inning, Beaty reached on an infield single and scored on Corey Seager's three-run blast. Beaty then knocked a homer of his own in the sixth. The three-hit effort raised Beaty's batting average to .208 in 24 at-bats. He's added two homers, two RBI and four runs scored this season, mostly in a bench role.

Voit is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Voit will rest after starting in each of the Yankees' last six games and going 8-for-23 with a home run, double, two walks, five RBI and five runs. Mike Ford will replace Voit as the Yankees' first baseman, while Clint Frazier gets a start as the team's designated hitter.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz played all nine innings of Saturday's suspended game that was resumed earlier Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored. He'll just be getting a breather for the series finale as Joey Wendle gets a turn at third base.

The Padres recalled Naylor from their alternate training site Sunday.

Naylor will provide some extra insurance in the corner outfield for San Diego while Wil Myers (back) remains on the bench for Sunday's series finale with the Diamondbacks. The 23-year-old earned a spot on the Padres' Opening Day roster but saw little action, going 3-for-13 while appearing in six games before he was optioned to the alternate site Aug. 6.

Flores will serve as the Giants' designated hitter and will bat sixth Sunday against the Athletics, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Flores will make his sixth consecutive start and seems to have at least temporarily emerged as manager Gabe Kapler's preferred designated hitter. The 29-year-old has produced six hits over his last two games, raising his season average to .307.

Alonso is not in Sunday's lineup against the Phillies.

He is hitting .263 with a home run, six strikeouts and one walk over his last five games. Dominic Smith will start at first base while Robinson Cano shifts to designated hitter.

Walker went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Padres.

Walker has hit safely in four of the Diamondbacks' last five games, and he has produced multi-hit performances in each one of those four contests. The first baseman is hitting .286 with seven extra-base hits in 49 at-bats this month, but he has also struck out in 26.4 percent of his plate appearances during that span.
