Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez is beginning to heat up at the plate. On Sunday, Rodriguez went 4-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the victory over the New York Mets.

Victor Reyes Suffers Injury On Sunday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes (leg) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This is a shame because Reyes was just activated before this contest.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians.
