Anthony (finger) will visit hand specialist Dr. Gary Lourie in Florida during the upcoming week, Chad Finn of The Boston Globe reports.

Anthony is headed to Boston's facility in Fort Myers to continue his injury rehabilitation, and while he's in Florida, he'll book a visit with the Atlanta-based Dr. Lourie. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Sunday that the visit to the hand doctor and Anthony's time in Florida are "for peace of mind" and to get the young outfielder to "a spot where he can focus each day on just pounding away at getting that hand healthy." Anthony has yet to resume a hitting program nine weeks after suffering a partially torn ligament in his right ring finger while taking a swing, and he remains without a clear timetable for a return from the 60-day injured list.

Heim went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and two additional RBI in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins.

Considering the Athletics didn't have a baserunner until the eighth inning, Heim did pretty well for himself in the late innings. The 31-year-old has gone 9-for-38 (.237) with three homers and 12 RBI over his last 10 games. He's now batting .241 with a .790 OPS, nine homers, 29 RBI, 20 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 46 contests between the Athletics and Atlanta this season. While he was the designated hitter Sunday, Heim would likely get the starting job behind the dish if Shea Langeliers (thumb) requires a stint on the injured list.

Jump (3-3) allowed six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out one over three innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Marlins.

Jump gave up a pair of home runs, accounting for half of the runs on his line. He's now struggled in consecutive starts, giving up 11 runs on 19 hits and three walks over his last 7.2 innings, though both starts came at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. Jump is at a 3.98 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB through 43 innings over his first eight major-league starts. He's tentatively projected to make his next start on the road versus the White Sox.

Ruiz went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Ruiz is up to 18 steals on the season, though his cold bat has decreased his opportunities on the bases lately. He has gone just 3-for-17 with one walk and five strikeouts over his last 11 contests, though he still has four steals in that span. The outfielder is batting .244 with an .838 OPS, four home runs, nine RBI, 23 runs scored, eight doubles and one triple over 106 plate appearances this season. Ruiz could get a longer runway in center field if Jakob Marsee (knee) misses time after exiting Sunday's contest early.

Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Jimenez went yard in the third inning off Gage Jump. Jimenez had started July going 0-for-9 over three games after hitting just .205 over 14 contests in June. He continues to occupy a part-time role in the Marlins' infield, and he hasn't shown enough consistency to carve out a larger share of playing time. Jimenez is hitting .202 with a .571 OPS, one homer, six RBI, 10 runs scored, four doubles and a stolen base over 114 plate appearances.

Lopez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk, three total RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Lopez is sizzling with a trio of three-hit games over his last four contests. He's also homered in consecutive games and has at least one extra-base hit in five of his last eight games. For the season, the shortstop is batting .346 with an .896 OPS, nine homers, 43 RBI, 59 runs scored, 25 doubles, five triples and 17 stolen bases through 89 contests.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs, a double and two walks in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Hernandez homered in the first and sixth innings. This was his second multi-homer game of the season, and he's hit nine of his 11 long balls since the start of June. The outfielder is batting .234 with a .771 OPS, 34 RBI, 22 runs scored, six doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over 207 plate appearances this season. Hernandez continues to battle with Griffin Conine for playing time in the corner outfield spots.

Perez (5-6) struck out eight over seven perfect innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Perez didn't get a chance to go for history, as manager Clayton McCullough pulled the right-hander at 92 pitches (56 strikes). Lake Bachar then made a mess of things in the eighth inning, and Pete Fairbanks struggled in the ninth, but the Marlins had just enough of a cushion to escape with the win. Perez has allowed just two runs over 17 innings across three starts since he returned from a right gracilis muscle strain. He's at a 3.84 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 89:32 K:BB through 79.2 innings over 15 starts this season. Perez is projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.

Perdomo went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers.

Perdomo has gone 12-for-40 (.300) with three extra-base hits and two steals over his last 10 games. The shortstop was the only Diamondback with multiple hits in this contest. He's batting .243 on the year while adding a .708 OPS, five home runs, 31 RBI, 39 runs scored, 13 doubles, three triples and 13 steals across 86 contests.

Rodriguez (7-3) allowed two runs on five hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six-plus innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Brewers.

Rodriguez blanked the Brewers for six innings, but he served up a two-run home run to Jake Bauers in the seventh. This was Rodriguez's fourth straight quality start, a span in which he's allowed just four runs over 26.2 innings. He's also avoided walking any batters over his last two outings. For the season, the left-hander is at a 2.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 74:38 K:BB through 108 innings across 18 starts. Rodriguez is lined up to make his next start in a tough test on the road versus the Dodgers.
