  • Luis Urias 2B | TOR

    Mariners' Luis Urias: Plates pair in Sunday's loss

    Urias sent 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a run-scoring double and a run in a loss to the Orioles on Sunday.

    Urias accounted for almost all of the Mariners' offense on the afternoon, plating Luke Raley and Dylan Moore with a single and double, respectively. The 26-year-old snapped an 0-for-15 skid that had encompassed his previous seven games, and his multi-hit effort was his first in a season during which he's still carrying an abysmal .162/.279/.338 slash line across 86 plate appearances.

  • Davis Wendzel 1B | PIT

    Rangers' Davis Wendzel: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Rangers optioned Wendzel to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Wendzel is just 2-for-29 at the plate this season and hadn't played in more than a week, so this transaction comes as no surprise. The Rangers have not announced a corresponding move, but Grant speculates that Sam Huff could be recalled.

  • Danny Mendick 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Danny Mendick: First hit since return

    Mendick went 1-for-3 with a double Sunday against the Yankees.

    Mendick was activated from the injured list Friday and has since started all three games at third base while hitting in the bottom third of the order. He collected his first hit since returning with a double in the seventh frame. With Bryan Ramos (quadriceps) sidelined, Mendick should have a clear path to playing time in the short term.

  • Josh H. Smith 3B | TOR

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Serves as cleanup batter

    Smith started at third base, batted cleanup and went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Angels.

    Smith filled in as the cleanup hitter after Adolis Garcia was scratched with a forearm issue. He extended a hit streak to five games (7-for-20) but has cooled off overall in May (.630 OPS) after a strong April (.927). Despite the downturn, Smith still gets plenty of opportunities with Josh Jung (wrist) unavailable.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Hits homer No. 9

    Paredes went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Paredes was the only source of offense for the Rays, delivering a two-run homer off Zach Pop in the top of the ninth inning. The third baseman has notched a hit in seven straight starts, batting 11-for-28 (.392) with six RBI during that stretch.

  • Jon Berti 3B | CHC

    Yankees' Jon Berti: Blasts first homer

    Berti went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run Sunday against the White Sox.

    Berti's first homer of the season came off White Sox starter Chris Flexen with two outs and two men on in the fourth. It was the first extra-base hit of the season for Berti, who is now hitting .277 after entering the contest batting .250 through 44 at-bats.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Homers in fifth straight game

    Devers went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Devers' sixth-inning blast gives him nine on the season and marked his fifth consecutive game with a home run, tying a Red Sox record in the process. After a slow start to the season, Devers has caught fire lately, hitting safely in 21 of his last 23 games while batting .337 with seven homers, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored.

  • Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Reinstated, optioned to Triple-A

    Peraza (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

    Peraza has been on the injured list since suffering a shoulder injury in February, but he began a rehab assignment May 7. Most recently, he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his only contest with Triple-A, where he will now remain for the time being. The organization will likely allow the 23-year-old to find his footing with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before ultimately elevating him to the major-league roster down the road.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Doubles twice, steals base

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Sunday's win over Oakland.

    Garcia doubled and scored in the first inning and knocked an RBI double in the fifth. He's gone 12-for-40 (.300) with six extra-base hits and eight RBI over his last nine games. On the year, Garcia's slash line is up to .249/.294/.402 with 11 stolen bases, 18 extra-base hits and 30 RBI through 46 games.

  • Brett Harris 1B | BOS

    Athletics' Brett Harris: On bench Sunday

    Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Kansas City.

    Harris will sit for the fourth time in Oakland's past six contests after he started the previous 11 games. Abraham Toro will take over at the hot corner and bat leadoff.
