Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Chisholm extended New York's lead to 7-2 in the seventh inning with a two-out, two-strike blast off lefty Brendon Little, his 18th homer this season and first in 15 games. Chisholm has now gone 4-for-8 with a pair of extra-base hits in his last two contests after going just 4-for-25 (.160) in his prior eight games. Overall, he's slashing .220/.297/.397 through 474 plate appearances this year with 60 runs scored, 51 RBI and seven stolen bases.

Stott left Sunday's game against the Cardinals in the eighth inning due to a right foot contusion, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Stott sustained the injury when he fouled a ball off the side of his foot in the sixth inning, but he remained in the game for the seventh before being pulled. X-rays on his foot were negative following the contest, and the Phillies will re-evaluate the infielder ahead of Monday's series opener in Seattle. Edmundo Sosa could draw the spot start at third base if Stott, who has taken over as Philadelphia's primary third baseman since the acquisition of Luis Arraez (hamstring) at the trade deadline, needs a day off to heal.

Sogard went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants.

Sogard got the Red Sox on the board with a solo homer over the Green Monster in the second inning before adding a double in the fourth frame. The infielder has been on a tear of late, logging multiple hits in five of his past six contests. In 150 plate appearances this season, Sogard is slashing .287/.401/.426 with two homers, nine RBI and 20 runs.

Ramirez went 3-for-6 with a home run, two additional runs scored and five total RBI in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Mariners.

Ramirez had a huge afternoon as he helped lead the Cubs to the blowout victory. The rookie infielder set a new career best with the five RBI, and he's looked comfortable overall in the majors with a .285 batting average and .767 OPS through 55 games. With Dansby Swanson (oblique) on the injured list, the Cubs have been using Nico Hoerner at shortstop, which has opened up regular time for Ramirez at second base. The 22-year-old is worth a look for however long his role remains elevated.

The Rockies recalled Ritter from Triple-A Albuquerque, and he's starting at second base and batting eighth Sunday against the Guardians.

The 25-year-old cracked Colorado's Opening Day roster but went 1-for-7 in just six games before being demoted to Triple-A. Ritter has enjoyed a productive season at Albuquerque with four homers, eight steals and a .325/.424/.459 slash line in 52 games. He's taking the roster spot of Kyle Karros, who was placed on the injured list with a concussion.

Freeman will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Angels.

Freeman will draw a fourth straight start after going 2-for-6 with a walk over the previous three contests. Three of those starts have come against left-handed pitching, so Freeman doesn't appear to have solidified himself as a near-everyday player for the Rangers and may be benefiting from a favorable runout of pitching matchups.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Lopez will hit the bench for a fourth straight game, with three of those absences coming against left-handed pitching. Justin Foscue will draw the start at the keystone Sunday, but Lopez still appears to be the favored option at the position versus righties.

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

After starting in the last three games, the left-handed-hitting Massey will hit the bench for the series finale while the Tigers send a lefty primary pitcher (Andrew Sears) to the bump. Tyler Tolbert will spell Massey at second base and will bat seventh.

McKinstry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

After starting in five of the Tigers' previous six games, the left-handed-hitting McKinstry will retreat to the bench while the Royals send southpaw Daniel Lynch to the hill. Ben Malgeri will replace McKinstry in right field and will bat seventh.

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

McNeil started the previous six games and will receive Sunday off after batting .308 (8-for-26) with a double, a homer, four RBI and three runs during that span. Tommy White will step in at first base and bat fifth versus Houston righty Cristian Javier.
