Chapman went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one walk and two runs scored Sunday in the win over the Blue Jays.

Chapman's batting average has been on the rise of late, as he's improved from .225 to .254 over his last 10 games. He's also displayed impressive power, recording 19 extra-base hits and 21 RBI on the year. The 25-year-old third baseman will look to stay hot as the Athletics begin a three-game series with the Mariners starting Tuesday.

Robinson (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Sunday.

Robinson will serve as Frisco's designated hitter in his first minor-league rehab game. The Rangers haven't announced how many rehab games Robinson will need to appear in before returning to the majors, but he could conceivably be back in the majors during the coming week. He's been out since May 5 with left hip soreness.

Davis was recalled from Triple-A Fresno on Sunday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.

Davis spent the first two weeks of the season in the big leagues but was optioned back to Fresno when Yulieski Gurriel returned from the disabled list April 12. Davis has been on fire in Triple-A recently, slashing an incredible .415/.473/.654. He'll likely operate as a bench bat or in the occasional designated hitter role for the time being.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Orioles.

Devers has been scuffling of late, hitting just .160/.192/.280 with three RBI over his last 14 games. He had been a consistent run producer early on when he knocked in 23 runs over the first 31 games and was at or near the top of the team in RBI. When Dustin Pedroia (knee) returns to active duty, the Red Sox could give Devers, who has played in 45 of the team's 46 games, more days off with Eduardo Nunez moving from second to third base. With some periodic rest and extra work in batting practice, the 21-year-old's bat could perk up again.

Segura went 2-for-4 with a home run, triple, three RBI and one run scored Saturday against the Tigers.

Segura connected on his third home run of the season in the first inning off Mike Fiers. He tripled in his next at-bat to record his seventh multi-hit game in his past 10 starts. The home run was his first since April 28, but he has been a strong producer otherwise, ranking among the American League leaders in batting average, runs scored, RBI and stolen bases.

Alvarez got the start at DH and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Red Sox.

His playing time has mostly dried up since Mark Trumbo returned from the disabled list, but with Trumbo in right field Saturday, Alvarez got his second start in the last eight games and made the most of the opportunity. The 31-year-old now has eight homers on the season, but the power comes with a less impressive .198/.303/.500 slash line.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Indians.

Bregman notched his fourth home run of the season in the eighth inning off reliever Neil Ramirez, bringing the Astros within two. His bat has become more potent over the last two weeks, as he's hit safely in 14 of the last 16 games with nine of his 16 hits going for extra bases.

Duffy (hamstring) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Angels.

Duffy left Tuesday's game against the Royals with hamstring tightness and had yet to return to action. He was aiming to return Friday but ended up needing one extra day. He'll bat third and play third base Saturday.

Segura went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Tigers on Friday.

The hot-hitting shortstop's seventh-inning single drew the Mariners even at 4-4 after they'd opened the inning with a four-run deficit. As impressive as Segura's April was (.311/.339/.472), he's outdoing himself to an extent in May, as his monthly average now sits at .333 following his eighth multi-hit effort over the last 16 games. The sole blemish is that he's yet to go deep since the calendar flipped to May, but he sports an impressive 29 RBI on the season, second only to Mitch Haniger on the team.

Machado went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Friday's 7-4 win over the Red Sox.

He continues to crush the ball, going 14-for-40 (.350) over his last 10 games with five homers, 15 RBI and nine runs. Machado's .347/.423/.671 slash line on the season would establish new career highs in all three categories, and by a considerable margin, if he's able to keep it up.
