Gonzales went 5-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Monday's 5-4 win versus Milwaukee.

The Pittsburgh second baseman completed the first Pirates five-hit game performance since Oneil Cruz accomplished the feat Aug. 2, 2024. In the process, Gonzales roped his second and third two-baggers of the season as he raised his average from .271 to .320 across 19 total games. The 26-year-old has been locked into a starting role at second base since returning from an ankle injury June 3.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Frazier has served as a strong-side platoon player in left field for the past two weeks, but after posting a .513 OPS during that stretch, he could be in danger of moving into a utility role. He'll be on the bench for a second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Chad Patrick), affording Tommy Pham another start in left field after he went 3-for-3 with two doubles and three RBI in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.

The Giants optioned Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Fitzgerald is slashing only .127/.197/.145 in June and had seen his playing time dip with four starts over the last seven contests. He'll head to Sacramento, where he will try to get his swing in order. The Giants will go with a combination of Brett Wisely and Christian Koss at second base until Matt Chapman (hand) returns from the injured list, at which point Casey Schmitt is likely to shift over to the keystone.

The Mets optioned Acuna to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

The move was probably overdue, as Acuna has played sparingly over the last month with just five starts since May 24. The 23-year-old will get an opportunity to continue his development at Syracuse while playing every day.

Turang went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Twins.

Turang launched a 412-foot blast off David Festa in the fifth inning, his fifth of the year, that would prove to be a difference maker in Milwaukee's eventual one-run victory. Turang's now hit safely in seven straight games, going 11-for-29 (.379) with a .992 OPS in that span. Overall, he's slashing .274/.352/.367 with 50 runs scored, 30 RBI and 16 stolen bases through 322 plate appearances this season.

McLain went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over St. Louis.

McLain gave the Reds an early lead when he belted a first-inning home run, which extended his hit streak to 10 games. A season-opening slump prompted manager Terry Francona to drop McLain to eighth or ninth in the order over the last several weeks, but he moved into the No. 2 spot Sunday for just the second time since mid-May. In his last 15 games, McLain has posted a .340/.421/.560 line with three home runs and eight RBI, and his continued surge at the plate could result in him settling into the two hole on a more consistent basis.

Sosa went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 7-1 victory over the Mets.

The 29-year-old utility man made a rare start, his sixth of the month, to give the Phillies a right-handed bat versus southpaw David Peterson in place of the lefty-hitting Bryson Stott. The long ball was only his second of the season (his first since May 19), and Sosa hasn't been able to carve out a steady role for Philadelphia despite being able to play all over the diamond. On the year, he's batting .279 with six doubles, 16 RBI, 12 runs scored and no stolen bases across 104 at-bats (39 games).

Stott is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

The Phillies are facing a left-handed starting pitcher (David Peterson) for the first time since June 9, so the lefty-hitting Stott will give up his spot at second base to Edmundo Sosa in the series finale. While starting in each of the previous 11 contests, Stott went 9-for-38 with a home run, two doubles, one stolen base, eight RBI and two runs.

Acuna will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Acuna will pick up just his second start in the Mets' last 15 games. He had previously been a regular presence in the lineup against left-handed pitching, though even those opportunities could begin to fall by the wayside after Ronny Mauricio was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse earlier this month. The New York infield will become more crowded when Mark Vientos (hamstring) returns from the injured list during the upcoming week, and it wouldn't be too surprising if one of Acuna or Mauricio was sent to Triple-A in a corresponding transaction.

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

The Mets are stocking up on extra right-handed bats to counter Phillies southpaw Jesus Luzardo, so the left-handed-hitting McNeil will retreat to the bench for the series finale. McNeil has made it difficult for the Mets to take him out of the lineup against both right- and left-handed pitching of late; he had started each of the last 18 games and produced a .258/.319/.515 slash line with five home runs, 11 RBI and eight runs over that stretch.
