The Royals Brett Eibner also bears watching... since June 1, he is:

.268/.333/.541

with 11 HR, 6 3B and 8 2B

It's the first time he has really succeeded as a hitter. It's possible the light has gone on for a guy with huge upside and RH power. It's also possible it's just a hot streak that doesn't mean anything.
I was surprised how slow a start Eibner had in the Minors system, given he was coming from college. At 24, his light needs to keep coming on if he wants to have a legit shot at the MLB level.
