Mauricio went 2-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 13-5 win over the Rockies.

Mauricio contributed offensively throughout the game and has now stolen a base in back-to-back contests. After going 0-for-8 against the Dodgers, the 24-year-old tallied five hits over the weekend at Coors Field. Through five games this season, he's hitting .263 with a solo home run, a double, two steals and four runs scored across 21 plate appearances.

Chapman (hand) underwent X-rays on his right hand, which came back negative, following Sunday's 4-3 win over Atlanta, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman was hit by a pitch with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, and he was subsequently picked off at first base, jamming his right hand in the process. The third baseman remained in the game as San Francisco closed it out in the top of the ninth, and he appears to have avoided a significant injury after receiving his X-ray results. Chapman can be considered day-to-day with the Giants off Monday ahead of a three-game set in Colorado beginning Tuesday.

Tena is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Tena will hit the bench for the fourth time in five games, with all of his absences coming against left-handed starting pitchers. The Rangers are having southpaw Jacob Latz serve as an opener for Sunday's contest, so Tena could end up subbing in for Amed Rosario once Latz exits the contest.

Muncy went 2-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base Saturday in a loss to St. Louis.

The Dodgers offense struggled to produce runs again Saturday, but Muncy did what he could to set the table from the middle of the order by reaching in all four of his trips to the plate. The veteran third baseman even got himself into scoring position with a rare stolen base -- his third of the campaign, which is already tied for the second-highest total of his career -- but he ended up being stranded there. Muncy continues to turn things around at the plate; he was hitting below the Mendoza Line as recently as May 14 but has batted .311 over 20 games since then to push his season slash line to .229/.353/.422.

Espinal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Espinal is on the bench for the second day in a row and appears to have shifted back into a utility role in the wake of Christian Encarnacion-Strand's return from the injured list. Espinal has gone just 1-for-29 over his last eight games and is slashing just .239/.296/.287 over 204 plate appearances on the season.

Chapman went 1-for-4 with a walk-off two-run home run in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Atlanta.

The third baseman played hero Saturday, launching a walk-off homer to extend the Giants' winning streak to four games. The team has leaned heavily on its pitching, but Chapman has been a key contributor offensively, slashing .389/.463/.750 with seven extra-base hits and five RBI over his past 10 games. The 32-year-old and Heliot Ramos are the only Giants with an OPS above .800 this season.

Durbin went 2-for-4 with a walk-off solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 victory versus San Diego.

The Padres rallied from a two-run deficit to tie the score in the top of the ninth inning, but that just set up Durbin's heroics. The rookie infielder led off the bottom of the frame and deposited David Morgan's first pitch over the outfield wall to send the Brewers home with a victory. It was just the second career homer for Durbin, who has struggled to gain his footing in the majors with a .218/.298/.331 slash line through 44 games.

McMahon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Mets.

McMahon had gone 22 games without a homer prior to Saturday, batting just .188 with a .237 slugging percentage and 9:24 BB:K in that span. The infielder broke the power drought with a game-tying solo shot in the fourth inning, but it was the lone run the Rockies had in this loss. McMahon has hovered just above the Mendoza Line over the last month and now has a .207/.316/.355 slash line with seven homers, 18 RBI, 24 runs scored and one stolen base across 62 contests this season.

Mauricio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

Mauricio has started four of five games since his call-up from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday. Saturday's effort included his first multi-hit game, his first homer and his first steal of the season, and he also avoided striking out. He's 3-for-16 with an 0:4 BB:K so far. He's made three starts at third base and one at shortstop, but the hot corner will be Mauricio's best bet for playing time. He'll compete with Brett Baty there, and Mauricio also offers another switch-hitting option at second base, but his time at shortstop will be limited unless Francisco Lindor needs to manage a broken toe that cost him a couple of games earlier this week.

Shaw went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Tigers.

The rookie third baseman launched a slider from Keider Montero over the left-field fence in the seventh inning, one of five long balls by the Cubs on the afternoon. It's the second homer of the season for Shaw and his first since he returned to the majors May 19. In 17 games since being called back up, he's batting .339 (21-for-62) with seven doubles, seven steals, five RBI and 11 runs.
