Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.

He went yard to lead off the seventh inning, kicking off a four-run rally that broke open a 1-1 tie. Moustakas has endured a brutal June, hitting .190 (16-for-84) on the month, but he now has 15 homers on the year and is still on pace for his second straight 30-homer campaign.

Bregman went 4-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs and three doubles in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

Bregman recorded doubles in the third, fifth and seventh innings, giving him a total of 25 on the season. He then hit a two-run homer -- his 13th of the year -- in the eighth inning, bringing him to a season-best 10 total bases in one game. Bregman's 39 extra-base hits trail only Jose Ramirez (44) among MLB third basemen, and the 24-year-old's .866 OPS is good for fifth at the position.

Valencia was 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.

Valencia gave the Orioles an early lead with the second-inning home run, but was caught stealing and picked off his other two times on the basepaths. The 33-year-old has been a relative bright spot of the Baltimore offense in 2018, with a .287/.354/.467 slash line in 189 plate appearances.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.

Candelario needed some positive vibes at the plate, as he entered the contest in a 2-for-20 slump, which included four straight hitless efforts. The 24-year-old's average has dipped to .243, though he still has a solid .808 OPS and should continue to get regular playing time in a Detroit lineup that doesn't have a ton of offensive weapons.

Segura went 3-for-4 with a run scored and was caught stealing during Tuesday's 3-2 win over in Baltimore.

Segura put forth yet another multi-hit effort Tuesday, his major-league leading 33rd such performance this season. The 28-year-old has a .337/.364/.479 slash line with six home runs, 53 runs, 44 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 303 at-bats in 2018.

Chapman received a cortisone shot in his hand and will attempt to hit Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chroniclereports.

Chapman's status essentially remains as-is for now, and the next step in his recovery will be determined based on how much he is able to do Thursday. It remains to be seen if he will need a rehab assignment before rejoining the A's.

Donaldson suffered a setback with his injured left calf and will be reevaluated in three weeks, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Donaldson had a shot to rejoin the Blue Jays before the end of June, but he aggravated his calf injury while taking groundballs at the Blue Jays' spring training complex, and will now likely be out at least another month. The Blue Jays figure to provide more details on Donaldson's status in the near future.

Urshela was designated for assignment Tuesday.

Urshela didn't do much in his time with the Blue Jays, hitting .233/.283/.326 in 46 plate appearances. Those numbers are in line with his career stats, making him not particularly appealing on the waiver wire.

Segura returned from a four-game absence due to a forearm infection Monday and drew a pair of walks over five plate appearances. He has 32 multi-hit efforts in 2018 and leads the majors with 14 three-plus-hit games, Jeff Seidel of MLB.com reports.

Segura couldn't add to his tally Monday, but he boasts 20 multi-hit efforts in his last 38 games alone. The star shortstop was deemed ready to go by manager Scott Servais after breezing through his pregame work without any issues Monday, with his return naturally a welcome sight considering the pivotal role he plays near the top of the order. Segura's current .331 average is a career high, while both his .359 on-base percentage and .475 slugging percentage are the second-best figures of his career.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and two RBI in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays. He also stole his seventh bag of the season.

Bregman continued his powerful run in the month of June -- he's launches seven home runs while knocking in 22 runs over 21 games. Twelve of his 23 hits this month have gone for extra bases, leading to 18 runs scored.
