Collins went 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI in a win over the Mariners in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Collins knocked an RBI double in the third inning and then cleared the bases with a three-run double in the fourth. It was his first multi-RBI game since June 16 and just his second since the start of May. He improved his OPS to .691 with 16 RBI and 11 extra-base hits through 119 plate appearances.

Choi went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Angels.

Choi went deep off Mike Mayers in the sixth inning to put the Rays on top before the Angels' bats came alive late in the game. It was his third homer of the season and first since May 21. The 30-year-old lefty owns an .821 OPS with eight extra-base hits through 101 plate appearances this season. Even with his big weekend, Choi is just 10-for-44 (.227) in June.

Ohtani went 3-for-4 with a homer, a triple, a double, three RBI, two runs scored, a steal and a walk in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rays.

Somehow, Ohtani continues to find new ways to impress almost every day. He drove in runs in the sixth and seventh innings before launching a solo blast in the ninth to give the Angels some cushion. The two-way superstar is now slashing .277/.363/.668 with 25 homers, 11 stolen bases and 59 RBI. He's racked up eight home runs and 10 runs scored over the last 11 games.

McCutchen went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

The outfielder was productive Sunday with just his second three-hit effort of the year. After a third-inning single, McCutchen scored on an Alec Bohm groundout. Through 289 plate appearances this year, McCutchen is slashing .235/.349/.445 with 13 home runs, 40 RBI, 38 runs scored and five stolen bases.

Manager David Bell said Winker (hip) will be "100 percent" heading into Monday's game against the Phillies, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Winker was held out of the lineup Sunday after exiting Saturday's contest with a bruised right hip, though he did appear as a pinch hitter Sunday. He's 2-for-19 over his past six games and will attempt to get back on track Monday.

Martinez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Yankees.

Martinez went deep to center field in the third inning, extending Boston's lead to 5-0 at the time. The designated hitter has hit safely in 15 of his last 16 games, going 17-for-66 (.258) with three home runs, eight RBI and 11 runs scored in that span. He's posted an OPS of .902 with 15 long balls, 47 RBI and 52 runs scored through 72 games overall.

Dickerson will take a seat with southpaw Cole Irvin starting the series finale for Oakland. Austin Slater will start in left field in his place.

Brantley is not starting Sunday against the Tigers, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The veteran outfielder will rest up during the series finale as Chas McCormick mans left field.

Blackmon is not in the lineup Sunday at Milwaukee, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Harper (calf) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Mets.

The 28-year-old exited Saturday's contest after being hit by a pitch on the left calf, and he'll be out of the starting nine for at least one game. According to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, Harper is dealing with some tightness in the calf but may still be available as a pinch hitter. Travis Jankowski will start in right field Sunday for the Phillies.
