Soler went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run Saturday in the Royals' 11-3 loss to the Twins.

Soler has been the star of the Royals' series in Minnesota thus far, collecting five hits and scoring four times between the first two games of the series. He'll look to keep rolling the finale Sunday, when he'll bat cleanup while manning right field.

Miller (hip) was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Miller landed on the shelf July 24 with a right hip flexor strain, but he was able to make a relatively quick return with no rehab assignment. The veteran infielder figures to resume his utility role for the Phillies but could see additional opportunities at third base with Maikel Franco optioned to Lehigh Valley.

Carpenter (foot) was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start at the hot corner and bat leadoff in the Cardinals' series finale in Oakland.

Carpenter has been sidelined with the bruised right foot since mid-July but is set to make his return after a nine-game rehab assignment. The veteran third baseman struggled in the minors and went 2-for-26, but he'll look to turn things around after posting a .693 OPS and career-high 25.7 percent strikeout rate in his first 81 major-league games this season.

Choi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

He'll cede first-base duties to platoon mate Jesus Aguilar with the Marlins bringing a lefty (Caleb Smith) to the hill for the series finale. Choi has taken over as the Rays' primary leadoff man against right-handed pitching over the past two weeks, producing an impressive .993 OPS in his seven starts out of that lineup spot.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Giants.

The 33-year-old just keeps on collecting hits. Blackmon is slashing .383/.431/.596 over his last dozen games, and on the season he sports a .961 OPS with 22 homers, 63 RBI and 80 runs in 92 contests. Steals no longer seem to be part of his skill set -- he's 2-for-6 on the basepaths in 2019 -- but hitting leadoff and calling Coors Field home still give Blackmon rock-solid fantasy value.

Cabrera went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.

His first-inning blast off Adrian Sampson was Cabrera's second homer in his last four games, but only his seventh of the season. The future Hall of Famer is slashing .282/.340/.385 through 96 games, and he's now just 28 homers shy of 500 for his career (and 226 hits short of 3,000) -- milestones the 36-year-old might just be able to reach given that he still has at least four years and $124 million left on his contract.

Canha went 2-for-5 with a two-run single in an 8-3 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

Canha did his damage early on, with the single coming in the first inning. He has been strong lately, going 11-for-36 with a home run, four RBI, four runs scored and two steals in his last 10 games.

Ozuna (fingers) went 1-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Athletics.

Ozuna missed just over a month with the injury. He was able to knock a single off Athletics starter Mike Fiers in the fourth inning. Ozuna played the full game in left field. The 28-year-old has a .260/.333/.514 line with 20 homers, 62 RBI, 52 runs scored and a career-high eight stolen bases in 79 games this season.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

Turner opened the scoring with the fourth-inning homer off Padres starter Cal Quantrill and then added the single in the fifth inning to cap a three-run rally. The third baseman is up to 17 homers this season, adding 48 RBI and 64 runs scored with a .286/.368/.480 slash line in 103 games, which matches his games played from last year. Four of Turner's homers have come in his last 10 games.

Brantley went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and four RBI in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Mariners.

The 32-year-old continues to thrive in Houston. Brantley is now slashing .320/.379/.516 with 16 homers, 61 runs and 67 RBI, including 16 RBI in his last 13 games.
