We’re confident Hinds will connect for tape-measure home runs regardless of where he plays, but he’s struck out at an astronomical rate against big-league pitching over the last two seasons, fanning nearly 37 percent of the time across 31 games in the majors. The 24-year-old offers an interesting blend of skills, but his omnipresent contact issues limit his appeal to extremely deep mixed leagues and NL-only formats as a cheap power source.

McLain’s home run was his ninth of the year. The 25-year-old second baseman hit a solo shot off Miles Mikolas in the first inning. McLain now has hits in 10 consecutive games and is 13-for-34 (.382) with two home runs and five RBI over that time. His season average is still an ugly .209, but McLain hit .154 in his first 21 games and is hitting a more palatable .236 over his last 47 games.

Pagan bounced back from a blown save on Saturday with a perfect ninth inning to pick up his 18th save of the year on Sunday. The 34-year-old right-hander has a 3.27 ERA on the year, but has only blown two saves this season.

Abbott gave up three hits, walked none and struck out three. The 26-year-old left-hander lowered his ERA on the year to 1.79. Abbott is greatly out-pitching his 3.98 xFIP as he’s benefited from a .226 BABIP allowed, 85 percent left on base percentage and 7.8 percent home run per fly ball percentage. Abbott was able to have a 3.72 ERA in 25 starts despite a 4.91 xFIP last year, but at some point his luck has to run out. He’s lined up to face the Padres at home next weekend.

Smith has been on a heater this month, batting .321 (18-for-56) with two homers, 10 RBI and one steal over his last 15 games to earn a shot in the middle of Houston’s lineup with Isaac Paredes and Yainer Diaz getting a breather during Sunday’s series finale in Los Angeles.

It appears to be a routine off day for Hernández with Andy Pages moving over to right field and Hyeseong Kim patrolling center field. The other notable change for Los Angeles is rookie Dalton Rushing handling the catching duties with Will Smith getting a well-deserved day off.

Not good. Carroll remains on the bench as he continues to recover from a left hand contusion that he suffered earlier this week on Wednesday when he was hit by a pitch. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters the 24-year-old will undergo an MRI on Monday in Chicago to determine whether he’s dealing with any structural damage. The fact that he hasn’t been put on the injured list is an encouraging sign as it appears the organization is merely proceeding with an abundance of caution by giving their franchise cornerstone some extra time off to rest and recover. Hopefully he’ll be ready to return for Monday’s series opener against the White Sox, assuming the MRI comes back clean.
