Gorman went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

Gorman posted his first three-hit game since May 18 and has now posted back-to-back games with multiple hits and RBI. Gorman scuffled at the plate in June, hitting just .143/.211/.229 with two homers, six RBI seven runs and a 6:30 BB:K in 20 games. While his strikeout numbers are still high in July, it seems like the worst of his slump is over. He's now slashing .244/.306/.511 with three homers, nine RBI, 11 runs and a 4:20 BB:K in 13 games this month. The 23-year-old slugger will continue to see the large majority of his at-bats against righties only.

Trejo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

Trejo entered as a pinch runner and scored in the eighth inning before walking it off with his solo shot in the 11th. The homer was his first of the season in 46 contests. The infielder has added 14 RBI, 12 runs scored, eight doubles and four stolen bases over 128 plate appearances. Trejo doesn't have an immediate path to significant playing time -- his best bet would be to compete with Harold Castro at second base, which could earn Trejo a short-side platoon role.

Semien went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and three total runs scored in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Guardians.

Semien set the table well as a leadoff batter, and Nathaniel Lowe twice brought him home on RBI singles. While Semien is hitting just .200 (9-for-45) in July, he's added a 9:5 BB:K across those 12 contests. The second baseman is up to 12 homers, 58 RBI, 75 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a .272/.342/.443 slash line through 94 games this season.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

Marte cleared the bases with a three-run double in the ninth inning. The runs driven in snapped an 11-game drought without an RBI. Prior to that rally, that Diamondbacks' offense consisted of two runs: one on a two-base throwing error and another on a wild pitch. Arizona had scoring issues during a three-game sweep, posting just six runs over the previous 26 innings before Marte's double. The loss dropped them to third third place in the NL West.

Altuve (oblique) ran the bases before Sunday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Manager Dusty Baker also said before Sunday's matchup that Altuve will travel with the Astros for their upcoming road trip to Colorado, so the second baseman will require more time before he's able to begin a rehab assignment. Altuve also took grounders at second base just before the All-Star break, so he's made encouraging progress over the past week.

Peguero will be called up by the Pirates on Monday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Peguero began the 2023 campaign at Double-A Altoona but was promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis in early July. Over 76 minor-league games this year, he's slashed .256/.330/.458 with 13 home runs, 54 runs, 38 RBI and 21 steals. The 22-year-old made his major-league debut last year during a lone matchup with the Pirates, and he should have plenty of opportunities to play in Pittsburgh down the stretch.

Rodgers (shoulder) will head out to High-A Spokane on Monday to begin a rehab assignment, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

At one point, Rodgers' injury was feared to be season-ending, but he now appears to be on the verge of a return to live action. Rodgers will start out at the High-A level, and given the extended absence, he figures to take close to the full 20 days allotted to him on rehab. While he took a bit of a step backward last season, Rodgers is a .294/.349/.442 career hitter at home in Coors Field.

Short is starting at second base and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Short will make his first start after the All-Star break, with Zach McKinstry moving over to left field and Nick Maton starting at third base. The Tigers seem to have Spencer Torkelson and Javier Baez locked in at first and shortstop, respectively, but the other two infield positions are a bit more fluid. Short profiles more as a bench option, though he has a chance to see extended run at second if he heats up at the plate. He's batting just .211, however, and hasn't proven to be a dynamic offensive player to this point in his MLB career.

The Brewers recalled Jones from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

After being sent down earlier in the week, Jones will return with Brian Anderson (back) landing on the 10-day injured list. While Jones put together a respectable .292/.427/.542 line in 62 games with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate earlier this season, he's not starting Sunday, and the Brewers don't seem inclined to give him a serious look as a regular.

Merrifield went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Merrifield singled to lead off the bottom of the second and went on to score the first of two runs for Toronto in the inning. He then came right back in his next at-bat and crushed a hanging changeup from Zac Gallen over the left field wall to lead off the fourth, putting the Blue Jays back on top 3-2. The second baseman has been highly efficient at the plate this month and now has recorded two hits in five of his last seven games. Four of his six home runs on the season have also come in July.
