Sandoval (biceps) will make his next rehab start for Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Currently in the midst of his second rehab assignment of the season, Sandoval is being built up slowly while he works his way back from left biceps discomfort. During his previous rehab outing Friday with Worcester, the left-hander threw 16 pitches over 1.1 innings, allowing no hits and walking one batter.

Whitlock (knee) is likely to be activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Whitlock struck out a batter and allowed one hit and two walks over a scoreless inning during a rehab appearance with Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, and that will apparently be the only outing the right-hander will require in the minors prior to being activated. He'll rejoin the Red Sox in Tampa ahead of the second contest of their three-game set at Tropicana Field.

Sandlin didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Phillies, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out six.

The White Sox elected to use an opener ahead of Sandlin on Sunday after the rookie was tagged for eight runs in four innings in his last start against the Twins. While Sandlin's final line was certainly better, he did allow a pair of home runs in an eventual 9-5 loss to the Phillies -- he's now given up four long balls in his first 13.1 major-league innings. It remains to be seen how Chicago will utilize Sandlin in his next outing, though he currently lines up for a tough home matchup with the Dodgers.

Hill (3-2) earned the win over the Red Sox on Sunday with a perfect inning of work.

Hill entered in the eighth inning with the game tied 1-1. He retired the side in order on 11 pitches, then watched New York's offense put up five runs in the bottom of the frame to move him into position for the victory. Hill had been struggling badly coming into Sunday, allowing six runs over 2.2 innings across his past three appearances. He'll look to use Sunday's clean frame as a catalyst for a turnaround.

Grisham went 3-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI and a stolen base against Boston in a 6-1 win Sunday.

Grisham paced the Yankees with his three hits, including a run-scoring single in the eighth inning. The veteran outfielder extended his on-base streak to 10 games, during which he's batting .350 (14-for-40) with two homers, eight runs, six RBI and two thefts. Grisham was batting a paltry .151 through 30 contests at the end of the April, but he's hit a solid .281 over 32 games since to lift his season slash line to .222/.335/.401.

Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday in a 6-1 victory against the Red Sox.

Bellinger broke a 1-1 tie with a solo shot in the eighth inning. The Yankees went on to score five more times in the frame to turn a pitchers' duel into a runaway win. The long ball was Bellinger's first extra-base hit since May 26, but he's still been reaching base consistently, collecting three multi-hit performances over his past six contests. Overall, he's slashing .273/.373/.476 with nine homers, 41 RBI, 38 runs and seven stolen bases across 64 contests on the campaign.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 6-1 victory against Boston on Sunday.

Chisholm struck out in each of his first three plate appearances, but he made the most of the lone time he put the ball in play, smacking a three-run homer to right-center field in the eighth inning to turn a two-run lead into a five-run advantage. The veteran infielder didn't go deep until his 24th game of the campaign, but he's picked up the power pace since then, notching eight long balls across 38 contests since April 23. However, his season OPS still stands at a modest .703, which is well below his .813 mark during the regular season last year.

The Angels will recall Guzman from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Guzman has been enjoying the favorable hitting environments of the Pacific Coast League, slashing .336/.403/.571 with 12 home runs and nine stolen bases in 268 plate appearances with Salt Lake so far this season. Whiffs were a major problem in his first cup of coffee in the majors last season, as he fanned in more than half of his 42 at-bats, but Guzman has cut his strikeout rate down considerably at the Triple-A level. The 22-year-old could get a look at third base for the last-place Angels while Yoan Moncada (knee) is on the injured list.

Neto went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 13-5 victory over the Dodgers.

Neto's lone hit was a loud one, as the shortstop uncorked a three-run homer to extend the Angels' lead in the seventh inning. It marked his second homer in as many games and 12th of the campaign. Overall, the 25-year-old is hitting .231 with a .778 OPS, 27 extra-base hits, 31 RBI, 44 runs and 10 stolen bases across 63 contests.

Siri went 3-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

Siri logged his highest hit total in a game since June 2024, spraying a trio of singles as part of the Angels' offensive onslaught. Through 34 plate appearances this season, the 30-year-old is hitting .355 with a 1.039 OPS, two homers, three doubles, nine RBI and 11 runs scored. Siri has primarily played left field this season, though he shifted to center field Sunday with Mike Trout slotting in at designated hitter.
