Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

Detroit had just seven total hits against Texas ace Yu Darvish and three relievers, so Cabrera didn't have much help from the rest of the lineup. After missing three straight games with an oblique strain at the end of last week, Cabrera looks healthy and locked in at the plate.

Pederson went 1-for-2 with a walk and his second home run of the season in a win over the Mets on Sunday.

The 25-year-old has struggled mightily this season, batting a paltry .206 through 34 games. Pederson isn't known for his ability to hit for average as a career .222 hitter, but his lack of power has been concerning for owners hoping for a third consecutive 25-homer campaign. The young slugger has maintained his patience at the plate (10.8 percent walk rate), so he doesn't appear to be pressing, and it may just be a matter of time before we see the power return.

Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Giants.

Carpenter's ninth dinger of the season was his first since May 14, and his slash line is now up to .235/.381/.492 on the season with 27 RBI in 168 plate appearances. He's cooled down a bit after a scorching start to the month, but he remains a useful contributor in most categories in all fantasy formats.

Buxton is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Royals.

Max Kepler will take over in center field as Buxton rests for the second half of Sunday's twin bill. Buxton went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run in his return to the lineup in Game 1. His next chance to get back in action will come Monday against the Orioles.

Vogelbach was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma and is playing first base and batting seventh during Sunday's game against the White Sox.

With starting first baseman Danny Valencia nursing a sore wrist, the Mariners have elected to promote Vogelbach in order to provide some insurance at first base. The 24-year-old recorded two hits over his 14 at-bats during his first stint with the big-league club earlier this season.

Goins is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Manager John Gibbons is going with an all-right-handed or switch-hitting lineup to counter Orioles southpaw Wade Miley, leaving no spot available for the lefty-hitting Goins. With Troy Tulowitzki (hamstring) facing an uncertain timeline for his return, Goins still looks like the Jays' primary option at shortstop in the interim, though Darwin Barney will handle those duties Sunday.

Soler is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.

Soler has really struggled to find his footing at the plate since returning from the disabled list on May 6. The 25-year-old is hitting just .146 in his first 41 at-bats this season and will head to the bench for the first game of the doubleheader Sunday. Jorge Bonifacio will draw the start in his stead.

Stanton went 3-for-5 with three doubles, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's win over the Dodgers.

The two-baggers came against three different pitchers over three consecutive at-bats, as Stanton helped lead a 10-run outburst by the Marlins offense. He's now hitting a solid .267/.339/.540 with 11 homers and 30 RBI in 42 games.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Red Sox.

Canha launched his third blast of the campaign to start a five-run rally in the fifth inning, helping lead the A's to a victory. He's homered in three of his last four games and could be a short-term help to fantasy owners while he stays hot.

Belt went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

Belt has now recorded a hit in seven straight games, batting .333 (10-for-30) with four home runs over that span. Outside of a pedestrian .243 batting average, the patient first baseman has been as advertised this season, providing solid power and run production in the heart of the Giants' lineup. His average should continue climbing as his .298 BABIP normalizes somewhere around his .339 career mark.
