Rumfield went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Twins.

Rumfield recorded a pair of infield hits to scrape together another productive performance. He has five consecutive two-hit games and is in the midst of an 11-game hitting streak -- five of which have come on the road -- during which he's gone 26-for-66 (.393) with five homers, 16 RBI and 10 runs scored. Rumfield continues to piece together an impressive rookie campaign, hitting .294 with a .377 wOBA across 328 plate appearances.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Nationals.

Alonso socked his eighth homer of June on Sunday, extending his on-base streak to nine games in the process. The All-Star first baseman is putting together another strong season at the dish during his debut year with the Orioles, slashing .252/.342/.478 with 19 big flies, 15 doubles and 58 RBI over 368 plate appearances.

Torkelson went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Astros.

Torkelson started the contest on the bench and didn't enter until the eighth, but he provided a single in his first at-bat, then delivered his 13th home run of the season in the 10th. It was the slugger's first long ball since June 15, and he went just 7-for-37 with 11 strikeouts in between homers. Torkelson remains a boom-or-bust fantasy option who can be frustrating due to his propensity for falling into slumps.

Hoskins went 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Mariners.

Hoskins entered the game as a pinch hitter for Kyle Manzardo in the seventh inning and made an immediate impact. After singling in his first plate appearance, he came through with a go-ahead two-run double in Cleveland's five-run eighth inning to help complete the comeback victory. The veteran's afternoon was a welcome boost amid an otherwise difficult month, as he is batting just .161 with a 35.2 percent strikeout rate in June.

Olson went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to San Francisco.

Olson accounted for half of Atlanta's hits. He earned his third multi-hit effort in the last four games, a span that includes two doubles. The first baseman is still in a bit of a power drought -- that pair of two-baggers represents his only extra-base hits since his last homer, which came June 12 versus the Mets. Olson is batting .276 with an .875 OPS, 20 homers, 52 RBI, 54 runs scored, 21 doubles and two stolen bases over 82 contests this season.

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

The Yankees will give Goldschmidt a break after he went 7-for-23 (.304 average) with two home runs, three RBI and four runs while starting in the past six games. Ben Rice will draw the start at first base Sunday, while Amed Rosario serves as the Yankees' designated hitter.

Garcia went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five total RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Orioles.

After tying the game 2-2 with a two-run double in the third inning, Garcia extended Washington's lead to 5-2 with a two-run homer off Tyler Wells in the fifth before adding a solo homer in the seventh. Garcia has been on an otherworldly run at the plate of late, going 10-for-19 with six homers in his last six contests. He's now slashing .279/.307/.543 with 16 long balls (two shy of his career high), 55 RBI, 33 runs scored and two steals across 270 plate appearances this year.

Ward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Ward is on the bench for the fourth time in five games and appears to have been supplanted by Tommy Edman as the Dodgers' preferred option in left field. With Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) expected back from the injured list Monday, Ward will face an even tougher path to regaining playing time in the Los Angeles outfield, and he may be optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

After starting at first base in the first two games of the series and going 1-for-6 with a walk, an RBI and a run, the left-handed hitter will retreat to the bench versus Jesus Luzardo. Eric Wagaman will replace Young at first base and bat cleanup.

Torkelson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Colt Keith will fill in at first base while Torkelson rests for the first time since May 24. That ends a streak of 30 consecutive starts during which he produced a .219 batting average, five home runs, 12 RBI and 15 runs.
