Trey Mancini - Hitless in return Mancini (elbow) went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox.
Impact Mancini missed three games after he was hit by a pitch on the elbow. He was on quite a tear prior to the injury, slashing .375/.474/.771 with four home runs, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored in the 13 games before he was hurt. The 29-year-old served as the designated hitter Sunday, but he should be good to play first base in the next couple of days.

Cedric Mullins - Swipes another bag Mullins went 2-for-4 with a triple and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox.
Impact Mullins recorded a steal for the second consecutive game. The center fielder is now 8-for-12 in stolen base attempts this season -- the eight steals are a career high. He's slashing .296/.363/.469 with six home runs, 14 RBI, 25 runs scored, two triples and 13 doubles through 53 games.

DJ Stewart - Knocks fifth homer Stewart went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox.
Impact Stewart put Baltimore on the board with a solo shot off White Sox starter Lucas Giolito in the third inning. Three of Stewart's five homers this year have come in his last eight games. The outfielder is slashing just .198/.321/.360 with 14 RBI and 15 runs scored across 131 plate appearances this year. He's likely to see regular playing time in the corner outfield spots while Austin Hays (hamstring) remains on the injured list.

Dillon Tate - Dealt loss Sunday Tate (0-3) allowed two runs on three hits in one inning in a loss to the White Sox on Sunday.
Impact Tate worked the seventh inning Sunday. He allowed a leadoff single to Tim Anderson, an RBI triple to Nick Madrigal and another run on Yoan Moncada's single. Baltimore failed to overcome that damage, with Tate taking his second loss in as many outings. The reliever has five up six runs in his last 7.1 innings. For the year, the right-hander has a 4.91 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB in 14.2 innings. Until he can put in better outings, Tate will likely see lower-leverage assignments.

Keegan Akin - Decent in no-decision Akin allowed a run on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 4.2 innings versus the White Sox on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact The southpaw's lone run surrendered came on a Billy Hamilton solo home run in the third inning. Other than that, Akin was able to work around putting seven batters on base. The 26-year-old has a 4.80 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB across 15 innings. Sunday was his first start of the season, but he pitched well enough to get another look in a struggling Baltimore rotation.

Tim Anderson - Steals base Sunday Anderson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-1 win over Baltimore.
Impact Anderson got aboard with a single in the seventh inning, then stole second and advanced to third on an error. The shortstop came home on a go-ahead RBI triple from Nick Madrigal. Anderson is now 9-for-11 in stolen base attempts this year. He's added five home runs, 17 RBI, 31 runs scored and a .293/.330/.425 slash line in 40 games as the White Sox's usual leadoff hitter.
