LeMahieu (knee) remains out of the lineup Friday against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.

Make it five straight absences for LeMahieu, who continues to nurse a left knee contusion he suffered last weekend. However, LeMahieu's ability to pinch hit Tuesday would seem to suggest he's safe from the DL for the time being. Daniel Descalso continues to fill in at second base with Cristhian Adames (starting for Trevor Story) in the two-hole.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Miami.

Peterson, who's made 11 consecutive starts, will get the night off as Chase d'Arnaud makes a start at second base. Peterson currently has an 11-game hit streak going and is slashing .348/.375/.522 during that time.

Asche went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI Wednesday at the Diamondbacks.

Asche capped off a four-run eighth inning with a sacrifice fly that gave the Phillies a temporary lead in a game they'd eventually win in extra innings. He's now collected an extra-base hit in six of his last eight games to raise his slugging percentage to .482.

LeMahieu is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Blue Jays, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Although he'd hoped to play in Wednesday's game, LeMahieu's return has been postponed. However, with Colorado having Thursday off, he may return to action for Friday's contest against the Dodgers.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple Tuesday against the Mets.

Rendon's second-inning triple off starter Matt Harvey got the scoring started in what ended up being a one-sided 5-0 affair. He's having a very productive series with four hits and four RBI through two games, and gets another crack at the Mets on Wednesday.

LeMahieu (knee) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

This makes it two straight absences for LeMahieu after he suffered a left knee contusion in Sunday's game. Cristian Adames will start at second base Tuesday. According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, LeMahieu reported improvement with the knee Tuesday and thinks he will be able to play in Wednesday's series finale.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with two runs, three RBI and a steal in a superb all-around performance Monday against the Mets.

Rendon was far from the only Washington player to find success in this one, with four other Nationals registering multi-hit games as well. The third baseman also swiped his second bag of the month, and is a threat to top 15 in both home runs and steals for the second time in his career, with seven and eight, respectively, at the moment.

Asuaje notched three hits in a doubleheader Sunday for Triple-A El Paso. He also stole a base and scored three runs.

Asuaje has been hitting quite well in Triple-A this season, slashing .325/.389/.470 in the notoriously hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. Asuaje doesn't figure to be much help in power categories, as he has a meager four home runs in 2016 and 28 for his entire minor league career. Despite the nice season, it will likely take an injury or a trade for Asuaje to be called up to the majors in 2016.

LeMahieu (knee) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

LeMahieu suffered a left knee contusion that forced him to leave Sunday's game early. The Rockies will look to Daniel Descalso to start in his place while he works on recovering as quickly as possible. LeMahieu will remain day-to-day for now.

Segura went 3-for-4 in Sunday's loss to the Rockies and scored three runs.

Like a lot of players, Segura enjoyed his trip to Coors Field. Over four games, he went 7-for-16 with eight runs, three RBI and three steals. After a brief slump earlier this month, Segura is closing out June nicely and has the average up to .311.
