Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Mariners.

Ramirez has recorded a hit in all 10 of the Guardians' games this season, though he has just one multi-hit effort. He's yet to hit a home run, but he's managed three steals, five RBI, six runs scored, four doubles and a triple. The third baseman continues to be a fixture in the No. 3 hole, and his .300/.408/.450 slash line through 49 plate appearances is pretty solid, though his power should rise while the average is likely to dip a bit.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Moncada went just 1-for-14 at the plate during the weekend series in Pittsburgh, so he'll get a day to regroup. Hanser Alberto will handle third base.

Farmer will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the White Sox.

Farmer will remain in the lineup for the fifth game in a row, with the utility infielder now drawing a start at his third different spot while regular third baseman Jose Miranda handles designated-hitter duties in place of a resting Byron Buxton. Though Farmer will likely see his playing time fade when the Twins are at full strength, he should have a path to regular starts versus left-handed pitching and part-time duty versus righties while all of Max Kepler (knee), Jorge Polanco (knee), Alex Kirilloff (wrist) and Royce Lewis (knee) are on the injured list and while Joey Gallo (side) is day-to-day.

Chapman went 3-for-5 with a grand slam, a walk, five total RBI and a stolen base during Sunday's 12-11 win over the Angels in 10 innings.

The third baseman helped Toronto overcome a six-run deficit with his first career grand slam during the sixth inning, and he followed up with an RBI single in the seventh. It's already Chapman's fourth three-hit effort of the season through 10 games, and he's hitting .475 and is tied for the league lead with 14 RBI.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said prior to Sunday's game against the Athletics that Walls' non-throwing elbow has been giving him trouble since Friday, and he'll likely get imaging done Monday, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls went 1-for-2 in Friday's win and hasn't played since. The Rays have Jonathan Aranda on the taxi squad in case they need to place the 26-year-old on the injured list. Until the results of the imaging are announced, Walls should be considered day-to-day.

Henderson went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Yankees.

Getting the start at shortstop and batting fifth, Henderson swiped his first base of the season in the fourth inning, but the O's couldn't cash him in. The 21-year-old is getting used as something of a super-utility player again rather than being allowed to get comfortable at one spot on defense -- he's seen action in three games at third base and two at shortstop so far, in addition to two starts as the DH -- and that may have contributed to his sluggish performance at the plate. Henderson's batting just .167 (4-for-24) with one homer, one steal, two RBI and three runs, and his 41.9 percent strikeout rate is a huge step back from his 25.8 percent mark last year for the O's. It's too early to get too worried, but Henderson appears to be pressing to begin his first full season in the majors.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in a loss to the Angels on Saturday.

Chapman was the only Blue Jay with multiple extra-base hits in the contest, and his third-inning, two-run homer gave the team an early 4-0 lead. The long ball was his first of the season, but Chapman has been hitting very well through Toronto's first nine contests, racking up eight extra-base hits. He's reached base in each of those games thus far, slashing an impressive .457/.500/.743 over 38 plate appearances.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with three RBI on Saturday against the Athletics.

Paredes has served as the team's primary third baseman through eight games this season, though he has ceded some at-bats to Taylor Walls against right-handed pitching. Paredes delivered a two-run single in the fourth inning of Saturday's game to get the Rays on the board, and he tallied his third RBI of the contest one frame later after being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Through 27 plate appearances on the campaign, Paredes has two home runs, nine RBI and four runs scored while collecting eight total hits.

Farmer went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 9-6 victory over the Astros.

Farmer hit a three-run homer, his first of the season, a day after a game-winning hit in extra innings. Farmer has started the last two games at second base and is getting consistent playing time even when he doesn't start, as he has typically replaced Nick Gordon at second base as a pinch hitter as the two somewhat platoon while Jorge Polanco is on the injured list. Even when Polanco returns, Farmer should still get plenty of playing time each week in a utility role.

Devers went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 14-5 win over Detroit.

Devers unloaded on a Garrett Hill offering in the second inning with the bases loaded for a grand slam that gave Boston a 6-0 lead. The star third baseman hit his second homer of the day and fourth of the year in the seventh off Tyler Alexander. Devers is off to an excellent start with a slash line of .387/.406/.871 over eight games and 35 at-bats.
