MLB Player News

Duffy left Monday's game against the Rangers with an undisclosed injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Additional information regarding the severity and type of injury that Duffy experienced should become available in the near future. Duffy had to be pulled during the game's first inning after appearing to be in pain while running the bases.

Robinson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Robinson, who is 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts in his previous three games, will head to the bench for a second straight contest as the Rays send out a lefty starter (Blake Snell). In his place, right-handed Carlos Tocci will start in center field and hit ninth.

Peterson signed a major-league contract with the Yankees on Monday.

Peterson is set to rejoin the Yankees after being designated for assignment by the team last week and subsequently electing to become a free agent. He is expected to be with the Yankees for their two-game series against the Marlins, which starts Monday. The 27-year-old, who went 3-for-9 in two games with the Yankees earlier in the year, will occupy a bench role during his time with the big club.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

Machado drove in his team's only run, as the Orioles couldn't manage to produce at the plate against Chris Sale. Machado has started the season on a strong note, as he owns a .308/.392/.523 line with three home runs after playing 16 games.

Robinson is not in the lineup Sunday against the Astros.

Over the last three games, Robinson has gone 0-for-11 and struck out nine times, bringing his batting average down to .167 for the year. He'll head to the bench while Carlos Tocci starts in center field.

Alvarez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

With southpaw Chris Sale on the hill for Boston, the left-handed Alvarez will take a seat to start the game. Anthony Santander and Craig Gentry will start in the outfield while Adam Jones shifts to designated hitter.

Segura went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and one run scored Saturday against the Athletics.

Segura continues to swing an incredibly hot bat as his multihit game Saturday was already his seventh of the season. He's attempted just one stolen base, the only notable concern to his profile. However, he has batted second exclusively to begin the season, and if that continues his stolen-base attempts should tick up.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Saturday against the Angels.

Moustakas hit his third home run of the season in the eighth inning against Blake Parker. He also extended his hitting streak to seven games, which includes three multihit games, six runs scored, seven RBI and five extra-base hits. He hasn't been affected by an otherwise sluggish Royals offense and should continue to bat third in the lineup.

Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Saturday's loss to the Red Sox.

The veteran slugger is hot at the plate, as he's now hitting .304 on the season to go with a massive 1.136 OPS. The sample size is small, but it is worth noting that he has an outstanding 8:5 BB:K this year. If he keeps up this good approach, Alvarez could maintain a larger role even after Mark Trumbo (quad) returns from the disabled list.

Candelario went 1-for-5 with home run -- his first of the season -- in Friday's loss to the Yankees.

Candelario has mostly struggled to start the season, as his slash line sits at .200/.290/.364 after Friday's game. It's good to see him connect on his first home run, though, and the Tigers will likely keep the young third baseman in the No. 2 spot in the lineup to see what they have in a rebuilding season. As is the case with many young players, Candelario may not prove to be a consistent performer this year, but the talent is there for some strong performances on occasion.
