Rendon went 0-for-1 with four walks and a run in Sunday's 7-6 victory versus Baltimore.

Rendon's patience paid off throughout the contest, as the veteran third baseman reached base four times on free passes. Coming into the contest, he had taken six walks over 13 games. Rendon's on-base percentage was buoyed to .351 with his walk-heavy Sunday, but he is hitting a modest .200 on the season.

Bregman went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks and an RBI on Sunday against Toronto.

Bregman ended Houston's weekend series against Toronto having tallied five hits, four RBI and one run scored across three games. On Sunday, he recorded his RBI by working a bases loaded walk in the second inning, and he later smacked a two-out double in the sixth frame. Bregman has now turned in three multi-hit games across his last six starts.

Freeman (shoulder) has begun participating in full team workouts at extending spring training in Arizona, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Freeman remains on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Columbus while he continues to ramp up from the shoulder surgery he required last summer. He's likely at least a couple weeks away from debuting with the Triple-A club.

LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 10-2 win over Cleveland.

LeMahieu had a 10-game hitting streak heading into Sunday's matchup, but he had just three runs and three RBI during that time. However, he was more effective at producing runs during the blowout win over the Guardians since he stepped up with two extra-base hits. The 33-year-old has a .924 OPS with two homers, three doubles, seven RBI and five runs in 15 games this year.

Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

After going 2-for-12 at the dish while starting each of the past three games, Urias will take a seat in what likely amounts to a maintenance day. Kelvin Gutierrez replaces Urias at third base.

Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Danny Mendick will get a turn at third base while Burger gets a breather for the series finale. Burger made eight starts over the White Sox's last 10 games, slashing a meager .207/.207/.310 with a 31 percent strikeout rate during that stretch.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two walks, a run and an RBI in a 13-7 victory over Kansas City.

Suarez doubled and scored in the third inning, walked in the fourth, doubled home a run in the sixth and walked in the eighth to reach base four times for the first time this season. The 30-year-old has been on a tear against Kansas City this weekend as he's gone 5-for-7 with two walks and has significantly improved his slash line to .260/.373/.540 with the exceptional performances. Suarez's OPS alone has jumped 148 points from .765 to .913 over the two games.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against Toronto.

Bregman got the Astros on the board with a two-run home run in the first inning, his third long ball of the season and first since April 8. Though the power production hasn't been consistent, Bregman has collected at least one hit in four of his last five games. Overall, he's hitting .271/.357/.500 across 56 plate appearances.

Donaldson went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks Saturday against Cleveland.

Donaldson took Cal Quantrill yard in the seventh inning to record his second home run of the season. He also continued to show good discipline at the plate, and he's now earned a free pass in four of his last five games. On the surface, Donaldson is striking out at a concerning 30 percent clip through 60 plate appearances, but he has been punched out only once across his last 12 plate appearances.

Monacada "is still feeling something" in his injured oblique while swinging left-handed, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Moncada took some swings Friday, but with him still experiencing some soreness, it remains to be seen when he will do so again. It's unclear when he may be ready to return to action.
