Albies went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 14-6 win over the Rockies.

Albies put Atlanta ahead 7-5 in the fourth inning with a three-run shot off Chase Anderson, his second homer in as many games. Albies has been raking of late, going 11-for-24 (.458) with three homers and a 1.435 OPS over his last six games. He's now slashing .269/.322/.509 with 17 homers, 52 RBI, 36 runs scored and three stolen bases across 301 plate appearances this season.

Ibanez went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Twins.

Ibanez delivered his first hits of the weekend set against Minnesota, though he's been better throughout the month, as he's now batting .361 in June with a 1.119 OPS. The strong performance figures to earn the 30-year-old regular playing time moving forward, though he may continue to serve in more of a utility role rather than settling in at one position. That makes Ibanez valuable for the Tigers and gives him some limited appeal in deeper fantasy formats.

Estrada went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Dodgers.

Estrada has picked up the pace on the basepaths, logging three steals over his last four games. He's hit well over the last week, going 9-for-32 (.281) across his last seven contests while adding eight RBI and seven runs scored in that span. He's now 17-for-20 in thefts this season while maintaining a strong .291/.343/.474 slash line over 59 games as the Giants' starting second baseman.

Donovan went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Mets.

Donovan has been seeing the ball well lately, going 15-for-39 (.385) over his last nine games, a span that includes five multi-hit efforts. He continues to be a versatile utility man, capable of filling in all around the diamond while rarely hitting the bench. Donovan's recent surge has him up to a .267/.356/.380 slash line, six home runs, 18 RBI, 32 runs scored and four stolen bases through 66 contests.

Arroyo isn't starting the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Arroyo started at second base during Sunday's matinee but went 0-for-4 in the win. Enrique Hernandez will take over at the keystone and bat seventh in the nightcap.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Rojas started the last three games and will hit the bench Sunday despite the fact righty Tanner Bibee is pitching for Cleveland. Emmanuel Rivera will take over at the hot corner.

Marte is not in the starting lineup versus the Guardians on Sunday.

Marte has been excellent in the month of June with a .998 OPS over 49 at-bats, but he'll get a chance to rest for the series finale against Cleveland. Geraldo Perdomo is leading off and playing second base in Marte's absence.

Kim is not in the starting lineup versus the Rays on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim has picked up five hits over his last three games, but the Padres will have the slick-fielding infielder begin Sunday's game on the bench against Tampa Bay. Rougned Odor will play second base and hit sixth against Yonny Chirinos and the Tampa Bay bullpen.

Caballero is not in the starting lineup versus the White Sox on Sunday.

Caballero will get a day off after going 1-for-5 with a double in Saturday's extra-innings loss to Chicago. Kolten Wong will get the start at second base and hit ninth for the series finale.

The Royals placed Massey on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hand laceration.

Massey will be out for at least a week while he recovers from the cut near his finger he suffered Thursday. The infielder is replaced on the 26-man active roster by Matt Beaty, who had his contract selected in the corresponding move.
