Torres went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, a stolen base and four runs batted in while scoring twice in Sunday's win over Boston.

Torres got the Yankees on the board with a two-run blast to left field in the second inning, produced another run with a fielder's choice in the fifth, and plated the team's final tally with a double in the ninth. The 22-year-old leads the Yankees with 35 home runs this season while slashing .286/.347/.546 with 83 RBI in 548 plate appearances.

Mendick went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs in a 5-1 victory against the Angels on Sunday.

The 25-year-old has a hit in each of his three starts, and now he has his first career MLB homer. Mendick is 5-for-14 with one extra-base hit, one RBI and three runs across five games to begin his major-league career.

Castro is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Castro will take a seat as the Tigers go with a more righty-heavy lineup to counter Athletics southpaw Sean Manaea. The 25-year-old has slashed just .222/.236/.222 (18 wRC+) versus left-handed pitching this season.

Estrada (hamstring) was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Estrada played a couple of minor-league rehab games over the weekend and will rejoin the big-league club after spending the last three weeks on the shelf with the hamstring strain. The 23-year-old has a .739 OPS in 61 plate appearances this season and figures to serve as a utility option off the bench.

Semien went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple with a walk and a run in a win over the Tigers on Saturday.

Semien began the Athletics' onslaught in earnest with his fourth-inning three-bagger that plated Seth Brown and Ramon Laureano. The slugging shortstop has now equaled a career high with seven triples, while his pair of RBI carried him to a new career-best total (77).

Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

Biggio will hit the bench for the second time in the series as he is 1-for-16 with nine strikeouts in his last five games. Richard Urena receives the start at the keystone and will bat ninth in his stead.

Andrus is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

He'll take a seat for the day game after going 3-for-13 with a walk, two RBI and two runs in the first three games of the series in Baltimore. With the Rangers sitting at 71-73 heading into Sunday and out of the mix for a playoff spot, it wouldn't be surprising if Andrus were rested once a week for the rest of the season.

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

Since being called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Aug. 5, Guillorme has made just five starts for the Mets. He'll likely see most of his usage as a late-inning defensive replacement or pinch hitter throughout the season's final month.

Dubon went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a walk in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Dodgers.

Dubon lined a single in the ninth inning and put himself in scoring position with his first stolen base in the big leagues, but the Giants were unable to bring him home. The infielder has a career success rate of 71.9 percent (128-for-178) over seven seasons in the minors. Dubon is hitting .321/.345/.607 in his first 10 major-league games between the Brewers and Giants this year.

Castro went 4-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 10-2 loss to the Athletics.

As has often been the case this season, Castro showed good contact skills at the plate with little power, as all four of his hits were singles. The 25-year-old batted first in this one, and he could get more looks in the leadoff spot given his style of play.
