  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Registers second stolen base

    McMahon went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Cincinnati.

    The infielder reached on a fielder's choice in the first inning and stole second, but he was left stranded. In the fourth, he added a double and scored on Josh Fuentes' two-run double.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Beginning rehab assignment

    Davis (hand) will join Triple-A Syracuse for a rehab assignment this week, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

    The Mets originally expected the 28-year-old to be activated from the injured list this weekend, but he'll instead head to Triple-A for some rehab games. Davis has been sidelined for a little over two weeks, so he should need only a couple games in the minors to get back up to speed.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Nearing rehab assignment

    GM Ben Cherington said Sunday that Hayes (wrist/hand) is expected to begin a rehab assignment within "the next several days," Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    The 23-year-old shifted to the 60-day injured list last weekend and isn't eligible to be activated until early June, so he's not on the cusp of his return. Hayes could build up slowly during the rehab stint with over two weeks until he can rejoin the active roster.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Slams ninth homer

    McMahon homered off Tyler Mahle in the first inning for his ninth of the season. It was his first long ball since April 27. The 26-year-old has three RBI and five runs in his last three games. He is slashing .265/.313/.503 in 163 plate appearances and is leading the Rockies in home runs (9), RBI (26) and runs (27).

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Collects three more hits

    All three of Muncy's hits were singles, and his base knock in the fifth inning brought home the Dodgers' third run of the game. The first baseman has been red hot of late, registering three straight multi-hit contests. Over his past four games, Muncy has gone a collective 8-for-14 with three homers, seven RBI and six runs. He has brought his season average up over 40 points to .261 with the productive stretch.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Reds' Mike Moustakas: Sitting again Sunday

    Moustakas (heel) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Rejoins lineup Sunday
