Chisholm went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Orioles.

Chisholm delivered what proved to be the game-winning double in the eighth inning and came around to score an insurance run later in the frame. The 27-year-old has been productive in June, notching his seventh multi-hit effort in 17 games while tallying seven extra-base hits, 11 RBI and nine runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .242/.345/.467 with 10 home runs, 28 RBI, 26 runs scored and 10 steals across 194 plate appearances.

Perez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two total runs scored and three RBI in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rays.

Perez kept swinging a hot bat as the Tigers took the series finale on the road against Tampa Bay. The outfielder is up to six home runs already in just 22 games, as he missed his team's first 55 contests due to back inflammation. By comparison, Perez had only nine long balls across 112 regular-season games last year. His power might subside at some point, but the 25-year-old is worth plugging into lineups while he's slugging like this.

Kremer did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Kremer yielded a run in the second inning but was otherwise sharp, throwing 57 of 85 pitches for strikes and generating 11 whiffs while falling one out shy of his first quality start since May 31. The 29-year-old has had an up-and-down season, holding opponents to two earned runs or fewer in eight outings but allowing at least four earned runs in the other six. He'll carry a 4.60 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 72:24 K:BB across 90 innings into a home matchup with the Rays next weekend.

Greene went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rays.

Greene was the catalyst for Detroit out of the cleanup spot as he wrapped up a strong series against Tampa Bay on the road. Across the three games, the outfielder went 6-for-10 with four extra-base hits, four RBI and five runs scored. Greene is now batting .291 with an .875 OPS for the season, and he remains a strong fantasy asset with plenty of upside.

Holton (3-3) worked around a hit to toss a scoreless inning of relief and earn the win in Sunday's 9-3 victory over the Rays.

Holton replaced starter Casey Mize a batter into the sixth inning, as the latter departed the game due to right leg cramping. Holton then picked up the win out of the bullpen when the Tigers piled on eight runs over the last three innings of the contest to break open a close game. The lefty had allowed three runs in his last appearance and entered the game with a 7.45 ERA this month. After the improved outing Sunday, Holton now has a 4.58 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 30 strikeouts across 35.1 innings this season.

Warren did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Orioles, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 6.1 innings.

Warren allowed two runs in the first inning but held the Orioles scoreless the rest of the way, logging his second straight quality start. While he generated just eight whiffs on 86 pitches, the 26-year-old has worked into the sixth inning in all four of his June outings and has allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his past three. He'll carry a 4.66 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB across 75.1 innings into a home matchup with the Athletics next weekend.

The Yankees optioned Sandridge to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's 4-2 win over the Orioles.

New York called up Sandridge from the minors for the second time in less than week, but he'll once again be returned to the minors without having made an appearance out of the big-league bullpen. The Yankees haven't announced a corresponding move, but right-hander Allan Winans is expected to be recalled from Triple-A on Monday to start the team's series opener in Cincinnati.

Williams earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Orioles, allowing one hit and no walks with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

Aaron Boone indicated Friday that Williams would share save opportunities with Luke Weaver, but it was Williams who got the call to protect a two-run lead in the ninth, needing just 14 pitches to close it out. Over his past 10 appearances, the 30-year-old has been a perfect 6-for-6 in save chances with a stellar 11:0 K:BB. While his season line remains an underwhelming 5.08 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 37:12 K:BB across 28.1 innings, his recent dominance has certainly positioned him as a strong ninth-inning option.

Fermin will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Fermin will pick up his fourth start in five games and could hold down a semi-regular spot in the lineup while the Royals have been using Salvador Perez more frequently at first base and designated hitter of late. During the past month, Fermin hit .273 over a stretch of 15 games, but he provided limited counting statistics (one home run, no stolen bases, four runs, two RBI).

Manager A.J. Hinch said Mize was removed Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rays due to right leg cramping, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The 28-year-old took a no-decision and allowed one run on six hits with five strikeouts and no walks across five frames before departing one batter into the sixth inning, but he's not dealing with a significant injury. Mize should be fine to make his next turn through the rotation next weekend versus Minnesota, assuming he experiences no additional issues when he tosses his between-starts bullpen session in the next few days.
