  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Record seventh steal

    Segura went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 win over Washington. He was also hit by a pitch.

    The infielder worked a double-steal with J.T. Realmuto in the first inning. Segura also sparked Philadelphia's ninth-inning rally with a leadoff double before scoring on Andrew McCutchen's walkoff home run. Through 310 plate appearances, Segura is slashing .312/.366/.454 with seven stolen bases, six home runs, 33 RBI and 38 runs scored.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Remains out

    McMahon (lower leg) isn't included in Monday's lineup against the Angels.

    McMahon missed Sunday's contest due to lower-leg stiffness, and the issue will force him to miss at least one additional game. Joshua Fuentes will man the hot corner and bat eighth in McMahon's absence.

  • Edmundo Sosa LF | PHI

    Cardinals' Edmundo Sosa: Struggling through most of July

    Sosa is hitting .176 (3-for-17) with six strikeouts and one hit-by-pitch over his last 10 games.

    Sosa has seen fairly steady work as an in-game defensive replacement over that span; however, he hasn't exactly been discerning at the plate, as both his average and complete lack of walks suggest. Sosa still carries a serviceable .324 on-base percentage for the season, but his average has dropped 10 points to .247 during his current skid.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Held out with lower-leg injury

    McMahon wasn't available for Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers due to lower-leg stiffness, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

    McMahon's absence from the lineup in the series finale was initially believed to be a routine maintenance day, but acting manager Mike Redmond indicated afterward that the infielder was dealing with an injury. The Rockies will presumably re-evaluate McMahon ahead of Monday's game against the Angels, and a stint on the injured list could be in the forecast if the 26-year-old's condition hasn't improved in a meaningful way.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Back with team

    Muncy (personal) was activated from the paternity list Monday.

    Muncy was away from the team during the weekend series against the Rockies. He'll look to build on his career-high .978 OPS upon his return. Sheldon Neuse was optioned in a corresponding move.

  • Nick Maton DH | CHW

    Phillies' Nick Maton: Healthy again at Triple-A

    Maton (finger) has gone 2-for-13 with a double, four walks and three runs in his four games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley since being optioned by the Phillies.

    Before he was dropped from Philadelphia's active roster Thursday, Maton hadn't seen any action for the club since last weekend while he managed a finger injury. The fact that the Phillies chose to option him rather than placing him on the injured list implied the finger issue was only a minor concern, and his immediately entry into to the Triple-A lineup seemingly confirms as much.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Logs sixth homer

    Segura went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in Sunday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

    Segura's three strikeouts Sunday matched his highest total of the season, but he put the Phillies on the board with his solo homer in the fourth inning. The 31-year-old has displayed impressive power across his last five games, as he's gone 6-for-23 with two homers, a double, five RBI and a walk.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Showcases power in loss

    Riley went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles and a strikeout in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Phillies.

    Riley had totaled just one extra-base hit in his six games following the All-Star break, but he's been hot across the last three contests, as he's gone 6-for-13 with two homers, three doubles, three runs and three RBI. The 24-year-old was a bright spot in Atlanta's lineup Sunday since the team generated only one hit outside of the third baseman's production.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Clocks 17th homer

    Machado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-3 loss to Miami.

    Machado's solo shot in the fourth inning gave the Padres a short-lived 2-1 lead. The All-Star slugger has been terrific this month, going 24-for-71 (.338) with 13 extra-base hits and 18 RBI. On the season, he's slashing .275/.355/.497 with 17 long balls and 60 runs scored through 392 plate appearances.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Double shy of cycle Sunday

    Arenado went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple and three runs scored in Sunday's 10-6 win over Cincinnati.

    The third baseman extended his hitting streak to six games in a big way Sunday. He started with a single in the first, then added a triple in the fourth and a solo shot in the ninth, coming up just a double shy of a cycle. Arenado reached the 20-homer mark for the sixth time in his career, and he's slashing .261/.314/.504 with 61 RBI, 49 runs scored and a stolen base through 408 plate appearances.
