    Astros' Alex Bregman: Out of Monday's lineup

    Bregman is out of Monday's lineup against the Yankees.

    He is hitting .287/.404/.540 with four home runs and two steals over his last 23 games, but will start the Memorial Day matinee on the bench. Yulieski Gurriel will start at third base and hit fourth, while J.D. Davis starts at first base.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Indians' Jose Ramirez: Records 16th double

    Ramirez went 2-for-6 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Astros.

    Ramirez got Cleveland on the board early, as he hit a two-run homer to right in the bottom of the first. The 25-year-old third baseman has been on a tear of late, recording a base knock in eight of his last 10 games. He's batting an impressive .292 with 15 home runs and 37 RBI through 50 contests. Ramirez will try to stay hot at the plate as the Indians host the White Sox on Monday.

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Will avoid DL

    Segura (head) won't be moved to the disabled list and is set to work out Monday with the potential to be in the starting lineup, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Segura exited Saturday's game after being accidentally kicked in the head, and upon further evaluation, he didn't suffer a concussion. This is good news for the Mariners, as Segura won't need to hit the disabled list, and he'll likely be back on the field within the next few days.

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Unavailable Sunday vs. Twins

    Segura (head) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins, TJ Cotterill of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    As expected, Segura, who departed Saturday's game in the eighth inning when he was inadvertently kicked in the head while manning the field, underwent a test for a concussion Sunday morning. According to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, Segura said he has to take and pass another test later Sunday before gaining clearance from the protocol, so the Mariners should soon have clarity regarding whether or not he has a concussion. If he is diagnosed with a concussion, Segura would then be placed on the 7-day disabled list, with Triple-A Tacoma infielder Zach Vincej prepared to assume Segura's spot on the 25-man roster, per Divish.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Royals' Mike Moustakas: Takes seat Sunday

    Moustakas is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers.

    With the two teams getting together for a day game in the series finale and Texas bringing a lefty to the hill in Cole Hamels, Royals manager Ned Yost decided it was an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Moustakas his second off day of the season. Moustakas has been the Royals' top hitter in 2018 but saw his production tail off over the last five games, during which he went 2-for-19 (.105 average).

  • Matt Duffy 3B | TEX

    Rays' Matt Duffy: Takes seat Sunday

    Duffy is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles.

    Duffy has started each of the past seven games, so manager Kevin Cash decided it was an optimal time to rest the infielder in advance of the club's road trip that begins Monday. Duffy's move to the bench will open up third base for Christian Arroyo, who will serve as the Rays' No. 8 hitter in the series finale.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Expected to enter concussion protocol

    Mariners manager Scott Servais said Saturday after Seattle's 4-3 victory over Minnesota that he expects Segura (head) to enter MLB's concussion protocol, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Segura departed in the bottom of the eighth inning after he was inadvertently kicked in the head in the field while completing a double-play relay throw to first base. The shortstop was enjoying a productive night prior to departing with three hits and his fourth home run of the season, but it sounds like he could miss at least a couple of days due to the head injury. Segura is slated to undergo concussion tests Sunday, so expect the Mariners to provide an official ruling on his diagnosis shortly before the series finale begins at 4:10 p.m. EDT.

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Leaves with apparent head injury

    Segura left Saturday's game against the Twins after taking a foot to the helmet during a slide into second base in the bottom of the eighth inning, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

    Considering it was a 3-3 tie at the time of the injury, it certainly seems like Segura may need to go into the concussion protocol, as he likely would not have left at that stage in the game due to a contusion or something else minor. He was 3-for-4 with a home run prior to exiting. Gordon Beckham came in to play second base and Austin Romine moved over to shortstop. Segura should be considered highly questionable for Sunday's game.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Goes deep twice

    Candelario went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI against the White Sox on Saturday.

    Candelario hit both of his home runs off left-hander Hector Santiago, his sixth and seventh of the season. Just one game after returning from the disabled list, Candelario picked up where he left off by flashing surprising power at the plate. He is now slugging .529 on the season, well above his .468 pace in 94 at-bats with the Tigers last season.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Heads to bench Saturday

    Devers is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Braves, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    He will head to the bench with a tough lefty in Sean Newcomb due to start for Atlanta. The 21-year-old Devers has been slumping of late and is batting just .213/.245/.404 against left-handed pitching this season. We could see Devers sit more against southpaws -- or perhaps platoon outright with Eduardo Nunez -- now that Dustin Pedroia's back on the active roster.
