Moncada went 1-for-2 with two walks in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Minnesota.

Moncada extended his hitting streak to nine games, during which he's 11-for-27 with a 1.135 OPS. He's also drawn at least one walk in eight straight, getting a free pass to first base 11 times and raising his OBP to .407.

Bregman went 0-for-2 with three walks and three runs scored Wednesday against the Athletics.

Bregman didn't record a hit yet still managed to reach base three times and to come around to score on each occasion. Hitless games have been rare for Bregman to this point in the season, as he has come up empty only three times across his last 15 contests. Overall, Bregman has maintained a .312/.391/.471 line with five home runs, 22 RBI and 26 runs scored across 36 games.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and another two-bagger in a win over the Astros on Tuesday.

Chapman's two-game, 5-for-8 tear has quickly boosted his average 23 points to .233, and he's also driven in four runs along the way. The third baseman's slugging percentage remains a pedestrian .404 at the moment, but he has contributed 13 extra-base hits (six doubles, two triples, five home runs) and currently boasts a career-high 12.8 percent walk rate that has his OBP at a respectable .331.

Astudillo (hand) will start at third base and bat seventh Wednesday against the White Sox.

Astudillo will return to the lineup for the first time since exiting Sunday's game against the Athletics with a bruised hand, but the Twins never seemed too concerned about the injury. The 29-year-old was used off the bench in Monday's 16-4 loss to the White Sox, going 0-for-3 while seeing action in the field at catcher and pitcher. Astudillo will be filling in Wednesday for Josh Donaldson, who is resting for the day game after a night game.

Donaldson isn't starting Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Donaldson went 2-for-8 with a two-run home run across the last two games. Willians Astudillo will start at third base and bat seventh.

Madrigal isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Madrigal will get a breather after he went hitless with a walk in three at-bats Tuesday. Danny Mendick will start at second base and bat ninth.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rangers.

The Yankees' leadoff man established a new season high in RBI after plating a pair of runs on a fourth-inning double and scoring another on a sixth-inning sacrifice fly. LeMahieu has been running hot over the Yankees' last five games, going 7-for-19 with a 3:3 BB:K, four runs and four RBI.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs scored and two RBI on Tuesday against the Mariners.

Candelario took Justin Dunn yard in his first at-bat of the game to record his fourth home run of the season. He remained productive for the remainder of the contest, driving in a run in the third inning while also racking up his seventh double and subsequently coming around to score in the eighth frame. Candelario is riding a four-game hitting streak and has maintained a .291/.367/.419 line with 15 RBI and 21 runs scored across 40 games for the campaign.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

Ramirez opened up the scoring in a five-run first inning with a two-run blast off Andrew Heaney for his 12th homer of the year. The 28-year-old has historically been a player who starts off slow and finds his groove as the season goes on, but he's been very solid through the first six weeks of the season with a slash line of .264/.349/.583. His 12 long balls are tied for second in baseball as he's also got 27 runs scored, 25 RBI, four stolen bases and an 18:21 BB:K.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 7-4 win over Cleveland.

Rendon entered Monday's game in a 1-for-11 skid since he was activated off the injured list but knocked three singles against Cleveland. He raised his season slash line to .274/.349/.425 with 12 RBI through 83 plate appearances. It was his first multi-hit game since May 1.
