Candelario is on the disabled list merely to rehab his left wrist and not to undergo surgery, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Candelario is battling left wrist tendinitis and has been for some time. An MRI taken Sunday revealed that he'll have to undergo offseason surgery, but for now, he's just getting some time off to rest and rehab. The Tigers believe that Candelario could be ready to go sooner than the minimum requirement of 10 days off, but with Nick Castellanos also day-to-day after being hit in the hand by a pitch, the team couldn't afford to play too shorthanded.

Duffy went 3-for-4 with a pair of run-scoring singles in a win over the Royals on Monday. He was also caught stealing twice.

Duffy essentially was the Rays' offense Monday, plating C.J. Cron in the first with a timely single and then snapping a 1-1 tie with another well-placed hit that brought home Adeiny Hechavarria. The latter run turned out to be the difference in the game, and the performance extended what has been a torrid stretch for Duffy. Factoring in Monday's production, he's now gone for multiple hits in six of the last nine games on his way to a .349 average over 11 May contests.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.

Devers went yard against left-hander Sean Manaea, the third homer he's hit off a southpaw this season. It looks like left-handers are catching up to him. He pummeled them for a .400 average (20-for-50) last year, but that has dropped to .233 here in 2018. Still, it wasn't bad enough for manager Alex Cora to hold him out against Manaea on Monday.

Candelario (wrist) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

It's something of a surprising move, as the latest news was that Candelario would be able to play through his left wrist tendinitis before undergoing offseason surgery. He's been battling the issue for some time, though, and it's possible the team has decided that it would be best to have the surgery now. Whether the DL stint will be a short one just to rest the wrist or a long one while recovering from surgery is not yet known.

Segura went 2-for-5 with a two-run single and two stolen bases in a loss to the Tigers on Sunday.

Segura knotted the game at 4-4 in the eighth with a clutch hit to center that plated Ryon Healy and Ben Gamel. The hot-hitting shortstop has been knocking the cover off the ball recently, going 9-for-20 with two doubles, three RBI and three runs in three of the last four games, pushing his May average to .306 in the process.

Valencia went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and had three runs and four RBI in the Orioles' 17-1 blowout of Tampa Bay on Sunday.

The 33-year-old raised his average all the way from .224 to .264 with this four-hit performance, and he now has six home runs and 14 RBI on the season. He hadn't been getting enough regular appearances to make a sustained fantasy impact to this point. Still, his .833 OPS over his 72 at-bats is solid, and with Tim Beckham on the disabled list and Pedro Alvarez struggling and also dealing with a recent hamstring injury, Valencia should continue to get penciled into the lineup semi-regularly for the time being.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, three runs and two RBI to help the Orioles to a 17-1 romp over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Machado continued his torrid start to the season with yet another multi-hit effort, and he's now slashing an absurd .350/.431/.669 through 157 at-bats. The young slugger looks like he's headed for a career-best season at the plate -- one that could land him in the MVP conversation sooner rather than later if he continues to produce at anything close to his current rate.

Ramirez went 2-for-3 with two walks, a home run, a stolen base, three RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Royals.

Ramirez produced in just about every way possible on Sunday, a line that was highlighted by his fifth home run in his past 10 games. He has also recorded 11 RBI, 12 runs scored and four stolen bases in that span. Through 150 at-bats this season, he is batting an excellent .287/.378/.600 to go along with excellent counting stats, making his early-season struggles a distant memory.

Moncada (hamstring) will return from the disabled list prior to Tuesday's game against the Pirates, James Fegan of The Athletic Chicago reports.

The White Sox have an off-day Monday, but they are already clearing a spot for Moncada on the 25-man roster, by optioning Jose Rondon back to Triple-A Charlotte after Sunday's game. Those in weekly lineups can rest easy deploying Moncada this week. The toolsy second baseman only ended up missing the minimum 10 days with the minor hamstring injury. He is hitting .263/.359/.509 with six home runs and four steals on four attempts in 29 games this season.

The Tigers sent the MRI results of Candelario's left wrist to another doctor, but "everything's going to be fine," according to manager Ron Gardenhire, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The injury will reportedly require a surgical procedure in the offseason, but the plan is for Candelario to continue to play through the pain this season. The existing injury flared up during Saturday's doubleheader and kept Candelario out of Sunday's game against the Mariners. Gardenhire's comments suggest his starting third baseman won't require a disabled list stint, and he should be considered day-to-day going forward.
