  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Back in lineup

    Segura (hand) will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Marlins, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Segura will check back into the starting nine after a left hand injury kept him out of the lineup for the past three games. Bryson Stott will move back to the bench after filling in for Segura at the keystone during all three of those games.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Won't start Sunday

    Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Along with center fielder Bryan Reynolds, Hayes will get his first off day of the season as the Pirates look to extend breathers to their two most valuable position players. Michael Chavis, who went 3-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Saturday's 6-4 win, will be rewarded with a second straight start and fill in for Hayes at third base.

  • Kevin Newman 3B | LAA

    Pirates' Kevin Newman: Sidelined again Sunday

    Newman (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Newman will miss his third game in a row on account of the groin issue. Diego Castillo will draw the start at shortstop in place of Newman, who is being viewed as day-to-day. In the event Newman's groin forces him to the injured list, the Pirates could bring up top prospect Oneil Cruz from Triple-A Indianapolis to step in as the team's everyday shortstop.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Not starting Sunday

    Urias is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Urias has started six of eight games at the hot corner to begin the season but finds himself on the bench for Sunday's contest. Kelvin Gutierrez will start in his place for the series finale in New York.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Swipes first bag

    Walls went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and a stolen base Saturday against the White Sox.

    Walls drew the start at shortstop Saturday, as Wander Franco was in the lineup as the designated hitter. He was hit by a pitch in his opening plate appearance and subsequently swiped second base to record his first steal of the campaign. That was the only good news for Walls in the contest, as he struck out in his remaining three at-bats -- including for the final out of the game.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Swipes bag Saturday

    Rendon went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-2 win over Texas.

    Rendon drove in the Angels' second run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and stole second base following a walk in the seventh. The veteran third baseman has started slowly with a .185/.303/.296 slash line through 33 plate appearances, but he's given his fantasy managers some value with two thefts. Rendon didn't even attempt a stolen base in either of his previous two campaigns.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Yankees' Josh Donaldson: Goes deep in win

    Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over Baltimore.

    Donaldson hit his first long ball of the campaign in the fifth inning, drilling a 403-foot two-run blast to give the Yankees a lead they did not relinquish. The veteran also doubled in the ninth, giving him his first multi-hit game since Opening Day. Donaldson is slashing .222/.282/.361 overall this season.

  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Gets bat going

    Wisdom went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's loss to the Rockies.

    Wisdom came into the game with just three hits all season in 23 at-bats, which he managed to match in this contest alone. Jonathan Villar is batting .474 and playing regularly, but he's also serving a super-utility role, so Wisdom should still start at third base most days. He surprised with 28 home runs last year and could get going at the plate following Saturday's strong performance.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Blue Jays' Matt Chapman: Slugs second homer

    Chapman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the A's.

    He took Domingo Acevedo deep in the sixth inning, kicking off a Toronto rally from a 5-2 deficit, but Oakland regained the lead in the ninth. Chapman has had a sluggish start to his stint with the Blue Jays, going 6-for-27 (.222) through nine games, but the third baseman does have two homers and six RBI.

  • Kevin Newman 3B | LAA

    Pirates' Kevin Newman: Dealing with groin issue

    Newman is considered day-to-day with a groin injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Newman was out of the lineup Friday and Saturday. It's unclear whether the issue will cause a stint on the injured list. Cole Tucker and Hoy Park have gotten looks at shortstop in Newman's absence, while Oneil Cruz awaits a promotion at Triple-A Indianapolis.
