Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 6-3 win over the Padres.

Goldschmidt padded the Cardinals' lead with a seventh-inning homer, his fifth long ball in his last seven games. The first baseman is riding a 21-game hitting streak, going 38-for-86 (.442) in that span. He's surged to a .352/.418/.626 slash line with 11 homers, 42 RBI, 30 runs scored, three stolen bases and 16 doubles in 46 contests overall.

Mountcastle went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and four runs scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the Red Sox.

Mountcastle played a big role in the blowout win, posting his first extra-base hits since May 22 in the process. The 25-year-old has been fairly steady in the heart of the Orioles' order this year. He has a .268/.298/.412 slash line with six homers, 20 RBI, 17 runs scored, four doubles and two stolen bases through 161 plate appearances. Monday marked the first time he's gone multiple games without striking out since he did so in three straight contests in the first week of the campaign.

Flores went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

Flores made his only hit of the game count, tying the game at 2-2 with his sixth-inning blast off Phillies starter Kyle Gibson. It's been a solid run lately for Flores -- he's 6-for-21 (.286) in his last six games. The infielder has maintained a .258/.318/.419 slash line with five homers, 27 RBI, 24 runs scored and 10 doubles through 173 plate appearances this year. He should continue to see regular playing time at first base or designated hitter while Brandon Belt (knee) is sidelined.

Wade (knee) has begun hitting, running and throwing, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade has only appeared in 10 games this season, a run which was sandwiched in between two trips to the injured list with knee issues. It's certainly a positive to see him resume a variety of baseball activities, but it's not clear when the Giants expect him to return to action.

Higgins went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Making the start behind the plate with Willson Contreras serving as the DH in the early game, Higgins popped his first MLB home run in the fourth inning. It was also the first RBI of the season for the 29-year-old. Higgins will return to the bench for the second game Monday, with Contreras taking over as the catcher.

Torkelson went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Twins.

Torkelson had been hitless across his past three games, but he snapped out of the funk in a big way Monday. The three-hit effort was the first of the 22-year-old's MLB career, and it was just the seventh multi-hit performance of his rookie season through 42 games. It's mostly been a struggle for Torkelson, who's batting just .194 overall, but the talent is there for a breakout to come at any point.

Walker isn't starting Monday's game against Atlanta.

Walker will get a breather after he went 1-for-12 with an RBI, a walk and three strikeouts over his last three games. Pavin Smith is shifting to first base while Jose Herrera enters the lineup behind the plate.

White (groin), who went 1-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Las Vegas on Sunday, has reached safely in four straight games for the Rainiers.

The rehabbing infielder is still sitting on a .136 average and .406 OPS during his seven-game rehab stint with the Rainiers, but he's now reached safely in four straight and doesn't appear to have endured any physical setbacks thus far. White is carrying a bloated 30.8 percent strikeout rate during that span, however, shining a light on one of his career-long Achilles heels.

Clemens was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Clemens will join the Tigers ahead of their five-game series versus the Twins, setting him up to make his major-league debut in the coming days. Over 184 at-bats in Triple-A this season, he's produced a .283 average with eight homers, 31 RBI, 27 runs and three stolen bases. Clemens will take the spot of Robbie Grossman (neck), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Tellez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-0 win over the Cardinals.

Tellez was in a bit of a slump, going 4-for-19 in his previous six games with just one extra-base hit, a double, in that span. He went deep off Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas in the sixth inning. Tellez has shown solid power with 10 homers, 11 doubles and a .513 slugging percentage in 45 contests. He's added 34 RBI and 20 runs scored while seeing regular playing time at first base against right-handed pitchers.
