    Mets' Matt Reynolds: Homers in loss to Yankees

    Reynolds hit a three-run homer as part of a 2-for-4 game in Monday's loss to the Yankees.

    For all Reynolds's struggles in his first stint, he did manage a .419 slugging percentage behind six extra-base hits over 27 games. He also struck out Monday, and his 32.3 percent strikeout rate was his major limiting factor in his previous stint with the Mets. He has great power for a middle infielder; the question is if he'll make enough contact for it to matter.

    Mets' Matt Reynolds: Recalled from Triple-A

    Reynolds was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

    Reynolds will return from Triple-A for the first time since before the All-Star break, when he was optioned to make room on the roster for Jose Reyes. He'll immediately slot into Monday's lineup, batting seventh and playing shortstop.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Diamondbacks' Jean Segura: Leads off game with homer

    Segura went 2-for-4 with a double, home run and two RBI in Saturday's victory over the Dodgers.

    Segura opened the game with a leadoff homer in the top of the first to propel the D'Backs to just their third win in their past 11 games. The infielder now has nine longballs on the year and is on pace to break his career-high home run total (12) set in 2013 with the Brewers. Segura has been stroking this month, hitting .316 with six doubles, four homers, eight RBI and 16 runs over 95 at-bats.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Gets a rare day off

    Arenado is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets, MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports.

    Arenado is getting what is being described as a regular day off -- his second since the All-Star break and only his third overall of the season. Daniel Descalso will get the call at the hot corner in his stead Sunday afternoon.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Nationals' Anthony Rendon: Smacks two-run homer in Saturday loss

    Rendon went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals.

    The slugging third baseman took Jake Peavy deep in the third inning with a two-out, 423-foot shot to left that plated Bryce Harper. Rendon now has a modest three-game hitting streak and four round-trippers over his last 11 games.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Rockies' DJ LeMahieu: Drives in three Friday versus Mets

    LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with three RBI in Saturday's win over the Mets.

    LeMahieu did his damage with a two-run single in the fifth and a sacrifice fly in the seventh. He entered the game with just five RBI in 97 at-bats this month, but made up for it by matching his season high, giving him a total of 37 for the year. LeMahieu is on pace to challenge last year's career-high RBI total of 61.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Knocks in four Friday night

    Suarez went 2-for-4 with four RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Padres.

    Suarez has had a couple of big games this week, though his overall line has been disappointing despite a big April. His walk rate is marginally up this season (7.2% after 4.3% last year), but so are his strikeouts.

  • Matt Duffy 3B | TEX

    Giants' Matt Duffy: Runs bases Thursday

    Duffy (Achilles) ran the bases Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.

    He cleared a significant hurdle by running the bases -- the activity was said to have gone "really well" -- and Duffy now appears on the verge of beginning a rehab assignment. The 25-year-old could join an affiliate at some point this weekend. It's uncertain how long Duffy will need in the minors to prepare for a return, but with Joe Panik back, Hunter Pence (hamstring) nearing activation and Duffy getting close, it looks the Giants' lineup will be back at full strength early next month.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Diamondbacks' Jean Segura: Contributes three hits in blowout of Brewers

    Segura went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run in an 8-1 bashing of the Brewers on Wednesday.

    That's now a nine-game hitting streak for the 26-year-old shortstop, who's delivered five hits and a walk in the first three games of this four-game set against his old Brewers mates. Segura has served as Arizona's No. 3 hitter in consecutive contests, but Jake Lamb (hand) has missed both those games; the breakout third baseman's absence from the cleanup spot has pushed Paul Goldschmidt down to No. 4 in the lineup, opening up the three-hole for Segura. Lamb shouldn't be out long, so take advantage in DFS with Segura getting at least one more game as the third hitter Thursday against the Brewers.

  • Cody Asche 3B | NYM

    Phillies' Cody Asche: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Asche is not in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Marlins, Meghan Montemurro of the News Journal reports.

    Asche will get the day off in favor of right-handed hitter Tyler Goeddel with southpaw Adam Conley on the mound for Miami. Goeddel will bat sixth.
