Torres went 1-for-2 with four walks, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-0 win over the Athletics.

Torres was on base regularly Sunday as he set a new season high in walks. The veteran second baseman put together the strong performance on the heels of hitting his sixth home run of the season Saturday. Torres is a steady offensive contributor with a good eye at the plate, and his current .389 on-base percentage would represent a new career best. His ability to get on base at a good clip should allow him to score plenty of runs moving forward and elevate his overall fantasy value.

Keaschall went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Seattle.

Facing Seattle closer Andres Munoz, Keaschall connected on an opposite-field solo homer to tie the game in the top of the ninth inning. The 23-year-old has homered in back-to-back games after going deep in Saturday's contest, bringing his season total to six. After a disappointing first few months of the campaign, Keaschall has begun to turn things around, slashing .302/.417/.477 with four homers, nine RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases over his past 30 games.

Young went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Twins.

Young was a frequent contributor in the win, recording the first four-hit effort of his career. The second baseman is in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak, recording multiple hits in five of those contests. On the year, the 23-year-old is hitting .269/.325/.421 with 14 homers, 51 RBI, 54 runs and three stolen bases across 113 contests.

Basabe exited Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Padres in the ninth inning after being hit by a pitch on his left forearm, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Basabe took a 100.8 mph sinker from southpaw Adrian Morejon off his left arm with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and he was subsequently replaced at first base by Grant McCray. Basabe said that he expects to be okay, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of Monday's series opener against the Rangers.

Seigler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Seigler will head to the bench for the second time in the series after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 3-2 win. Nick Sogard will replace Seigler at second base and atop the batting order.

The Blue Jays transferred Sosa (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Sosa will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Jameson Taillon, whom the Blue Jays acquired in a trade with the Cubs. The 26-year-old infielder has been on the shelf since May 28 due to a right wrist contusion and was pulled off a rehab assignment in late June after experiencing a setback. He resumed taking live batting practice last week and should be ready to report back to an affiliate in the near future.

Rojas said that he'll be available off the bench Sunday against the Red Sox after exiting Saturday's 3-2 loss after seven innings due to a left ankle injury, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Rojas went 1-for-3 with a double before leaving Saturday's game on account of the injury, which he appeared to have suffered when he fouled a ball off of himself. Fortunately for Rojas, X-rays on the ankle came back negative, and he's feeling much better heading into Sunday's contest. Rojas had made starts against left-handed pitchers in the first two games of the series, but the Dodgers will go with a starting infield of Freddie Freeman, Tommy Edman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy in the finale.

Koss is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Koss will take a seat after he went 4-for-18 with three runs and an RBI while starting at third base over the past five games. He'll cede the hot corner Sunday to Osleivis Basabe, who sticks in the lineup at a different position after playing second base in Saturday's 6-5 loss. Koss and Basabe could form a timeshare at third base until the Giants get Matt Chapman (abdomen) back from the injured list.

Julien will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Though he'll be included in the lineup against right-hander Seth Lugo, the left-handed-hitting Julien sat in each of the Rockies' previous three games, with his latter two absences coming against righties. He appears to have lost control of a strong-side platoon role, with Willi Castro and Tyler Freeman both having seen more opportunities at second base at Julien's expense of late.

Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The left-handed hitter had started the last five games but will get a breather while southpaw Kyle Freeland toes the rubber for Colorado. Nick Loftin will check in for Massey at second base and bat second.
