Tovar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

Tovar went hitless in his first two trips to the plate before jumping on a hanging slider from Reynaldo Lopez in the top of the sixth to notch his 22nd home run of the campaign and give Colorado a 2-1 lead. He would also add his sixth stolen base of the season in the eighth after recording a leadoff single to open the frame. It marked the shortstop's first long ball and multi-hit effort this month and he's now hit safely in nine of his last 12 games. Over that stretch he's batting .270 (13-for-48) with 10 extra-base hits, nine RBI and seven runs scored.

Sweeney is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

Sweeney had started in 10 consecutive games, all against right-handed pitchers, but he will get some rest with lefty Martin Perez on the mound for the Padres. At shortstop Thursday, Ryan Kreidler is starting and batting eighth.

Abrams is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh.

With left-hander Bailey Falter on the hill for the Pirates, Nationals manager Dave Martinez has elected to give the left-handed hitting Abrams a day off. Nasim Nunez will draw a start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Crawford is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Oakland.

It's a routine day off for Crawford, who is just 2-for-24 at the plate since returning from the injured list. Leo Rivas will start at shortstop and bat ninth for the Mariners.

Gray went 1-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Mariners on Wednesday.

Gray recorded his first hit in an Athletics uniform when he laced one of three doubles in the lopsided loss for Oakland. The 28-year-old, who had just five career big-league plate appearances prior to this season, is capable of playing across the infield and has now drawn three straight starts.

McLain (shoulder/rib) is pain-free and has been cleared to resume baseball activities, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

McLain's surgically repaired left shoulder no longer appears to be an issue, and he also appears to be past the more recent stress reaction in his rib cage. The Reds have not ruled out a late-season return for McLain, but they'll wait to see how he responds to workouts.

Caballero is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Twins.

Caballero had two hits, scored two runs and drove in a run in Wednesday's win over the Twins, but he'll get a breather Thursday. He will yield to Taylor Walls at shortstop for the series finale.

Amaya went 1-for-4 with a double Wednesday against the Orioles.

Amaya drew his sixth straight start, all of which have come at shortstop. He's hit ninth in the order but has at least one hit in three consecutive games. Amaya maintained just a .638 OPS across 302 plate appearances while in Triple-A this season, so expectations should be limited.

De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a stolen base, two RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 12-5 win over Houston.

Much of De La Cruz's production came during Cincinnati's nine-run first inning. He doubled and scored the Reds' second run, then singled home the sixth and seventh runs, and finished with his 62nd steal and scored the team's ninth run. De La Cruz has multiple hits in five of the last 11 contests, during which he's 15-for-47 (.319) with five doubles, five walks, two steals, seven RBI and 12 runs scored.

Moore went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's win over Oakland.

Moore drove home Luis Urias with a two-out RBI single in the fourth before going on to swipe his 29th bag of the campaign and his sixth over his last 10 games (though he only started in eight of those contests). The utility man would later add a double and a sacrifice fly during a seven-run seventh inning for Seattle, marking his second-straight start in which he logged multiple hits. Moore has also hit safely in four of his last six starts, batting .352 (6-for-17) over those games with three doubles, two RBI and five runs scored.
