Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Montgomery took Trey Yesavage yard in the sixth inning to tally his 24th home run of the season. He had been in the midst of a short power drought, as he entered Sunday's contest having only one extra-base hit across his last 31 at-bats. Even with that slow stretch, Montgomery has an impressive .253 ISO and remains an elite source of power.

Buxton (hip) is on track to return from the 10-day injured list during the Twins' series versus the Guardians that begins Monday, Bobby Nightengale Jr. of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

After landing on the IL on July 7 due to an aggravation of a prior right hip injury, Buxton remained out for the Twins' first series coming out of the All-Star break against the Cubs over the weekend, but he was able to hit for the past few days and took part in defensive drills Saturday. The Twins' upcoming four-game series with the Guardians might help inform whether they fall into the buyers or sellers camp ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, and having Buxton available for any of those contests would be a major boon.

Celesten was promoted to Double-A Arkansas on Sunday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Celesten will move up a level in the Mariners' minor-league system after he posted a .314 average with 13 home runs, 52 RBI, 64 runs scored and 18 stolen bases over 309 at-bats in 80 contests with High-A Everett so far this year. The 20-year-old is considered to be one of Seattle's top overall prospects, and he'll look to maintain his impressive level of production with Arkansas.

Matthews (4-7) took the loss Sunday against the Cubs, allowing 10 runs (eight earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out four over three innings.

Chicago's lineup jumped on Matthews early, as Alex Bregman opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the first. After a one-run second, Nico Hoerner cleared the bases with a three-run triple in the third. The right-hander had surrendered seven runs through three innings, but he returned for the fourth and failed to record an out before four straight Cubs reached and two more runs crossed the plate, ending his outing. The eight earned runs were a season high for Matthews. After posting a 4.91 ERA over his final six starts before the All-Star break, Sunday's performance did little to inspire confidence heading into the second half. Matthews will carry a 5.40 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 58:21 K:BB into his next scheduled start at home against the Athletics.

Eovaldi (9-8) took the loss Sunday against Atlanta, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out two.

Eovaldi was never quite able to find a groove Sunday, surrendering one run in each of his four frames of work and three solo home runs on the afternoon. The veteran right-hander has given up at least three runs in all but one of his last 10 outings, though he does have five quality starts during that period. Eovaldi has a 4.21 ERA this year, his worst mark since 2019, but his 1.21 WHIP and 122:28 K:BB over 115.1 innings are more encouraging figures.

The Angels reinstated Campero (hand) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Campero has yet to play for the Angels in 2026 but was added to the 40-man roster June 6 and placed on the big club's injured list a week later after having sustained a right hand fracture in late May while playing for Double-A Rocket City. He was able to complete a three-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League within the past week and will now join the Angels' top affiliate in Salt Lake. Campero has handled a versatile role at Rocket City this season, making 30 starts at catcher, 13 in the corner outfield and two at designated hitter while slashing .287/.375/.455 with six home runs and 11 steals across 193 plate appearances.

Caglianone went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 19-2 loss to the Padres.

Caglianone opened the scoring with a solo shot in the bottom of the first inning. The 23-year-old is in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak, tallying three multi-hit efforts, seven extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .263/.321/.471 with 16 homers, 37 RBI, 46 runs scored and three steals across 361 plate appearances.

Cameron (5-8) took the loss against the Padres on Sunday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and two walks with one strikeout over five innings.

Cameron surrendered runs in three separate frames, generating nine whiffs on 90 pitches and allowing 11 hard-hit balls. The 27-year-old has now lost four of his past five starts, yielding five earned runs or more in each of those defeats. He'll take a 5.27 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 92:34 K:BB across 100.2 innings into a road matchup with the Tigers next weekend.

Greene went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

Greene cut the deficit to one run in the ninth inning, but the Tigers couldn't find the tying run. Greene has gone 12-for-44 (.273) over 13 games in July, adding seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI this month. Overall, the outfielder is batting .286 with an .846 OPS, 14 homers, 47 RBI, 50 runs scored, two stolen bases, 20 doubles and one triple over 98 contests. While it's a decent performance overall, Greene has taken a noticeable step back in most counting stats compared to where he was last year.

McGonigle went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

McGonigle went deep on Ryan Johnson's third pitch of the game, but that was the Tigers' lone run until Riley Greene's homer in the ninth inning. In July, McGonigle has gone 14-for-51 (.275) with three homers and five RBI over 13 games. The rookie infielder has batted .282 with an .815 OPS, nine homers, 35 RBI, 61 runs scored and 11 stolen bases over 96 games this season.
