Acuna owns a .299/.408/.598 slash line with seven homers, 10 steals and a 15:29 BB:K through 24 games for High-A Hickory this season.

He's been a man on a mission ever since returning from a hamstring injury he suffered in the season opener. The strikeout rate is a bit high at 28.2 percent, but Acuna's 14.6 percent walk rate makes the whiffs much more palatable -- as do his emerging power and above-average speed. Acuna has all the tools to be a rock-solid starting shortstop (and potential All-Star) in the big leagues, though it'll very likely take him another couple years to arrive.

Rosario went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.

Rosario led the charge on offense Sunday, extending his hitting streak to seven games. In that span, he's gone 12-for-29 (.414), though he hadn't recorded an extra-base hit in June prior to this contest. The shortstop is up to a solid .260/.294/.324 slash line through 50 games, adding 13 RBI and 25 runs scored, but he remains in search of his first home run. He's added five stolen bases, seven doubles and three triples.

Clement has started four of the Guardians' 11 games in June.

He's started to mix into the lineup with a little more frequency, but Clement remains without a clear path to at-bats. He's gone 2-for-14 with three strikeouts and a walk through five contests in June, dropping his season slash line to .214/.275/.250 in 92 plate appearances.

Altuve went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-4 win over the Marlins.

Altuve came up a triple shy of the cycle Sunday. He doubled and scored in the first inning before adding a three-run blast in the eighth. The second baseman is 11-for-32 (.344) in his last seven games, which includes three multi-hit efforts, two homers and four doubles. For the season, he's posted a .279/.348/.536 slash line, 12 long balls, 23 RBI, 28 runs scored, three stolen bases and 10 doubles through 45 contests as the Astros' regular leadoff hitter.

Rengifo will sit Sunday against the Mets, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rengifo started at second base in his return from paternity leave Saturday, going 1-for-4 with a triple. Matt Duffy will start at the keystone Sunday.

Torres is "under the weather" but available off the bench Sunday against the Cubs, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Torres was scratched from Sunday's lineup but it sounds like he could appear off the bench or at least be ready to return to the lineup after Monday's off day. Matt Carpenter replaced him in the lineup.

Torres was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cubs.

Jose Trevino was also scratched from the lineup, so perhaps there is a COVID-19 outbreak or some other illness making its way through the clubhouse. Matt Carpenter enters the lineup at third base with DJ LeMahieu sliding to second base.

Lopez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.

Lopez will sit for the second time this weekend, and he could continue to lose out on playing time, given that he is 2-for-25 over his last nine games. Carlos Santana slots in at first base with Hunter Dozier moving to the outfield and Whit Merrifield starting at the keystone.

Torres went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in an 8-0 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

Torres hit one of six Yankees solo blasts off rookie hurler Matt Swarmer, going deep in the fourth inning. It was Torres' second straight game with with a homer and marked his seventh long ball over his past 15 contests. All of his home runs during that span have been solo shots.

Miller went 1-for-3 with one double and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Athletics.

Miller's sixth-inning RBI double increased Cleveland's lead to 5-2 before Oakland mounted a late comeback. After a scorching start to the season, the infielder has come back down to earth with a .176 batting average in June. Saturday's performance was just his fourth game this month with a hit, bringing his season average to .259.
