Escobar went 2-for-6 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Cubs.

Escobar's second homer, a two-run shot in the sixth, notched things up at 3-3. That score would stick until the 15th frame. The 30-year-old infielder got off to a slow start but has four multi-hit performances in his last six games, knocking six extra-base knocks in that span.

Moustakas went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to the Mets.

Moustakas accounted for Milwaukee's entire offense on the day, as he clubbed a two-run homer to right field in the seventh to tie the game, 2-2. Despite dealing with a broken finger on his right hand, the 30-year-old has recorded two base hits in each of his past three contests, driving in five runs over that stretch.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and two runs scored Sunday against the Rockies.

Donaldson came up with the game's biggest hit and put the Braves ahead by a run in the eighth inning with a three-run blast to right field. The 33-year-old continues to hit the ball well in 2019, slashing .263/.391/.505 with five homers and 13 RBI over 27 games.

Segura went 3-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Marlins.

Segura didn't skip a beat at the dish after getting drilled in the head by a pitch during Saturday's matchup, and he secured his ninth multi-hit game of the season. The 29-year-old just returned from a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring injury but showed no signs of rust in the series finale.

Longoria is not in the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria finds himself on the bench for just the third time this season. Pablo Sandoval gets the call at third base.

Rendon's elbow has swollen up in the last two days and may force him to head to the injured list, source reports.

Rendon missed four games with an elbow bruise after getting hit by a pitch in the left elbow. He returned Friday but perhaps shouldn't have, as that only increased the swelling. The Nationals will make a decision on whether or not to send him to the injured list Monday. Jake Noll would be called back up from Triple-A Fresno should such a move be necessary.

Rendon is not in the lineup Sunday against San Diego.

Rendon returned from a four-game absence due to an elbow bruise on Friday, but he's since been back on the bench for two straight. Howie Kendrick gets the start at third base.

McMahon is not starting Sunday against the Braves.

McMahon is riding a six-game hitting streak. He'll sit Sunday, with Garrett Hampson getting the start at second base.

Segura is in the lineup Sunday against the Marlins after a pitch struck him in the head in Saturday's game, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

Segura's helmet did its job, as the pitch was enough to knock him out of the game but did not lead to a concussion. He'll bat second and play shortstop as usual.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-5 win over Atlanta.

It took the third baseman until April 14 to hit his first homer, but since then Arenado's been on fire, hitting .356 (16-for-45) with four doubles, six home runs and 14 RBI over his last 11 games. The hot streak has pushed his slash line up to .292/.336/.538, and given his career numbers there should be plenty more production to come.
