Peterson was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Tuesday.

Peterson was designated for assignment just two days ago by the Yankees, but he already has a new home. The utility man will report to Baltimore on Wednesday, presumably to fill a bench role for the big-league club. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, Gabriel Ynoa (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day disabled list.

Moncada went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored in Monday's 10-4 win over the Mariners.

It was a big hitting night for the entire White Sox lineup, ignited by Moncada, who tripled to start the game, then doubled in the second and homered in the fourth. He had a couple more opportunities to complete the cycle, but fell short. There have been some hiccups along the way, but Moncada is in a good stretch right now. Over the last seven games, he's hitting .346 (9-for-26) with two doubles, a triple, three home runs, seven RBI and four stolen bases. He's showing signs of the multi-category offensive threat that was predicted of him when he left Cuba for the States.

Segura went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Segura's timely hit in the fifth brought home Ben Gamel and opened the scoring on the afternoon for the Mariners. The hot-hitting infielder operated out of the leadoff spot with Dee Gordon getting the day off due to a sore foot and generated his ninth multi-hit game of April in the process. Segura has also been particularly timely with his hits recently, as he's compiled six of his 13 RBI on the season over his last four games.

Candelario went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Royals.

Candelario's hit was a double, his fifth of the season. Over the last seven games, Candelario has delivered four multi-hit performances and is hitting .277 with an .849 OPS after 20 outings this season.

Moustakas went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's victory over the Tigers.

Moustakas continued to deliver at the plate Sunday as he extended his hit streak to 14 games and mashed his sixth home run of the year. Moustakas' RBI total is now at 17, and he's struck out in just 13.6 percent of his plate appearances thus far.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk and two home runs in Sunday's 7-3 victory over the Orioles.

Coming off Saturday's 3-for-4 performance in which he hit a solo shot, Ramirez didn't show any signs of slowing down Sunday. He hit his sixth and seventh home runs of the year and collected three RBI while scoring twice. Through 19 games, Ramirez is hitting .236/.353/.528 and has stolen two bases.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the White Sox.

It wasn't too long ago that manager A.J. Hinch gave a scuffling Bregman a day off, then dropped him in the order. He responded to the day off by having hit safely in four games -- he has a five-game hitting streak going back to the game before the day off -- including three straight with multiple hits. He's got the average up to .253, but more is expected from the 24-year-old.

Machado went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Indians.

Machado brought his home run total up to eight for the season, as his recent tear at the plate continued Sunday. Over the last four games, he's gone 8-for-15 with five home runs, giving him an outstanding .356 batting average and 1.147 OPS for the year.

Robinson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

Robinson had been seeing regular starts in the outfield against right-handed pitching for the past three weeks, but his opportunities will likely dry up completely after Delino DeShields (hand) was activated from the disabled list Sunday and immediately inserted into the lineup. Though Robinson's ability to back up three infield spots will keep him on the active roster as a utility man for the time being, he hasn't done enough offensively to warrant a longer look from manager Jeff Banister. Robinson has hit .179/.281/.250 and has struck out in 31 of his 64 plate appearances (48.4 percent) on the season.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk in a win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

Chapman's second three-bagger of the season was no small feat, as it came off a Chris Sale offering. The 24-year-old has now hit in three straight games, although he's only 3-for-14 overall during that stretch and 3-for-21 in his last six contests. Despite the rough patch, a hot start to April that has included five home runs still has Chapman's monthly line at an impressive .299/.390/.597 over 76 plate appearances.
