Biggio went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base for Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

It's his first multi-hit effort since April 24. While Biggio's .341/.478/.591 slash line on the year is still eye-popping -- he leads the International League in OBP -- the Jays' No. 5 fantasy prospect is only hitting .233 (7-for-30) over his last 10 games, albeit with three homers, two steals and 10 walks. Even though he's not on the 40-man roster yet, a 2019 big-league debut is still on the table if the 24-year-old continues to dominate the top level of the minors.

Frazier went 2-for-6 with an RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Athletics.

Frazier singled home a run in the 13th inning to cut the deficit to one, and Starling Marte would end the ballgame with a three-run blast to center. Frazier has now pieced together a modest three-game hitting streak, boosting his batting average to .257 through 29 contests in 2019.

Forsythe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Benched for the third time in five games, Forsythe's role appears to be on the decline with Danny Santana settling in as manager Chris Woodward's preferred option at first base. Forsythe's ability to play all over the infield should help him stick in a part-time role for now, but his opportunities could take another hit when Ronald Guzman (hamstring) returns from the injured list, likely at some point during the upcoming week.

Drury will start in right field and bat seventh Sunday against the Rangers.

The recent promotion of top prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hasn't been as disastrous for Drury as most predicted. Since Guerrero debuted April 26, Drury has picked up eight starts in nine games, with the last two of those assignments coming in right field. Drury now appears to have inched ahead of Billy McKinney on the depth chart in the corner outfield.

McNeil is not in the lineup Sunday against Milwaukee, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.

McNeil gets a breather after playing all 18 innings of Saturday's loss. Brandon Nimmo slides over to left field in his absence, with Juan Lagares getting the start in center.

Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 15-3 loss to the Royals.

Rodriguez was one of the lone bright spots for the Tigers in this one, connecting for his third home run of the season in the eighth inning. The 27-year-old infielder has been a pleasant surprise in 11 games with Detroit, as he now has a 1.103 OPS, which is nearly double the .591 mark he posted across 62 games last season.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

With lefty John Means on the bump, Lowe will retreat to the bench to open up a spot for another right-handed bat in Guillermo Heredia. Lowe has recorded at least one hit in 11 of his past 12 starts and is slashing .356/.408/.600 over that span.

Albies went 2-for-6 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Marlins.

The Braves were trailing 2-1 when Albies came to the plate with the bases juiced and two outs in the top of the sixth inning, and he changed the complexion of the game with his 388-foot blast. The 22-year-old is slashing .291/.342/.511 with seven home runs and 27 runs scored in 33 games, entrenching himself in the leadoff spot for the Braves.

Chavis went 4-for-6 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs in a 15-2 victory over the White Sox on Saturday.

The 23-year-old rookie has experienced a power surge over the weekend, hitting three home runs in the last two nights. Chavis has six homers this year, and they've all come in the last 11 games. During that stretch, he is batting .410 (16-for-39) with 13 RBI and 12 runs as well.

Drury is not in the lineup Saturday against the Rangers.

Drury had started 14 straight games, remaining an everyday player even after Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was promoted. With a .221/.261/.425 line on the season, it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit on a more frequent basis. Eric Sogard will start at second base, with Socrates Brito occupying right field, the two spots Drury has been primarily occupying since Guerrero joined the team.
