Matthews (concussion) has gone 11-for-23 with two home runs, three doubles, four walks, 10 RBI and five runs in six games since being activated from Triple-A Sugar Land's 7-day injured list May 24.

Matthews missed about a week and a half of game action after sustaining the concussion on a slide during a May 13 game. He's exhibited no signs of rust since returning to action and is now maintaining a .272/.401/.450 slash line with six home runs and 16 steals over 43 games on the season with Sugar Land. The 23-year-old infielder doesn't possess a spot on Houston's 40-man roster but nonetheless stands a good chance at making his MLB debut later this season.

Wilson went 4-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to Toronto.

Wilson knocked four base hits and added an RBI sacrifice fly in the eighth inning to cap off his day. It was his third four-hit performance of the month, and he's produced eight multi-hit outings in his last 13 games. The star rookie's plate skills have translated tremendously against MLB pitching, resulting in a .357/.396/.504 slash line with 19 extra-base hits and 32 RBI through 241 plate appearances.

Smith went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double, a stolen base and four total RBI in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Cardinals.

Smith got the Rangers on the board in the second inning with a two-run double, putting Texas ahead 2-1, before bookending the scoring with a homer off Roddery Munoz in the eighth. The long ball was his fifth of the year and extended the lead to 8-1. It was the first multi-hit game since May 14 for the 27-year-old Smith -- he'd gone just 5-for-45 (.111) with a .313 OPS in 13 contests prior to Sunday. Overall, Smith is slashing .269/.340/.409 with 20 runs scored, 16 RBI and seven stolen bases through 192 plate appearances this season.

Correa was ejected from Saturday's loss at Seattle in the seventh inning for arguing with the umpire about the strike zone while in the on-deck circle, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He went 1-for-2 with a double before departing.

Correa had never been ejected from a major-league game before Saturday. His ejection came at a poor time in a close game, as Correa has been hot at the plate. He's hitting .400 (10-for-25) with three home runs in his last eight games since returning from a concussion May 23.

Caballero went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI, three runs scored, a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Astros.

Caballero got the chance to lead off with a lefty on the mound, the second consecutive time he's done so. He delivered an excellent performance, extending his hitting streak to five games while also swiping his 19th stolen base of the campaign. Caballero is known primarily for his defense and speed, but he quietly has maintained a 115 wRC+ and .326 wOBA across 154 plate appearances on the campaign.

Montgomery is considered day-to-day due to knee soreness, MLB.com reports.

Montgomery was hit by a pitch in the knee Friday and was held out of the lineup Saturday. X-rays came back clean, so it is not anticipated that he'll be out for the long term. Montgomery has shown improved form since re-joining Triple-A Charlotte on May 13, maintaining a .275/.373/.510 line across 51 at-bats.

Crawford went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Twins.

Crawford has gone 5-for-8 with two walks over the first two games of this weekend series versus the Twins. His seventh-inning blast Saturday gave the Mariners their first lead of the contest, and it was his first homer since May 16 versus the Padres. The shortstop is at a .267/.386/.377 slash line with five homers, 22 RBI, 27 runs scored, two stolen bases and six doubles over 55 games this season. Crawford continues to regularly hit out of the leadoff spot, where his on-base skills have been valuable despite a relative lack of speed.

Pena went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in a loss to the Rays on Saturday.

Pena kept Houston close early, with his second home run off Zack Littell tying the game 3-3 in the third inning. However, the Rays went on to score the next 13 runs, and Pena was subbed out after logging just one more plate appearance. The multi-homer game was the second of Pena's career, and he's up to nine long balls and 30 RBI through 58 games this season after posting 15 homers and 70 RBI over 157 regular-season contests last year.

Mateo went 1-for-1 with two walks, a two-run home run and two stolen bases in Saturday's 4-2 win over the White Sox.

Getting the start in center field and batting ninth, Mateo looked like he might be the latest Baltimore outfielder to land on the injured list when he appeared to hurt his arm in a collision with Heston Kjerstad in the eighth inning. Mateo stayed in the game, however, and proved he was OK by swiping his second bag of the game in the bottom of the frame. That capped a huge performance from the utility player that included his first long ball of the campaign, a fifth-inning shot off Davis Martin, and his first game with multiple walks in over a year. Mateo has started five of the Orioles' last nine games -- three in center field, one in left and one at shortstop -- and he's gone 5-for-17 (.294) over that stretch with seven of his 14 stolen bases on the season.

Arias went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a two-run double in Friday's 7-5 win over the Angels.

With the game tied 5-5, Arias gave the Guardians their first and only lead in the seventh inning, when his double to center field brought Bo Naylor and Daniel Schneemann home. Saturday was Arias' 11th multi-hit performance and ninth game with multiple RBIs this season. The 25-year-old shortstop is slashing .242/.303/.368 with two steals, four home runs and 24 RBI in 202 plate appearances this season.
