Riley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday in Atlanta's 9-0 win over San Francisco.

Riley's 423-foot blast off Anthony DeSclafani was the second home run of the fourth inning for Atlanta, which received a solo shot from Jorge Soler to lead off the frame. With 14 home runs and a .359/.411/.679 slash line since the All-Star break, the 24-year-old has been one of the majors' most prolific power hitters thus far in the second half.

Devers went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 7-5 loss to Cleveland.

The third baseman went deep in the first and seventh innings to account for Boston's first and last runs of the contest. Devers has been solid at the plate lately with four multi-hit efforts in his last seven games. He's slashing .277/.352/.556 with 32 homers, 96 RBI, 82 runs scored and four stolen bases across 534 plate appearances.

Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk and two RBI in Sunday's 7-5 win over Boston.

The third baseman sparked Cleveland's comeback effort with a solo shot in the sixth inning. Ramirez added an RBI double to get the team within a run in the seventh. Sunday was his third multi-hit effort in his last four games, a span in which he has two homers, a double, five RBI and six runs scored. For the season, the 28-year-old is slashing .263/.349/.555 with 31 long balls, 84 RBI, 87 runs scored and 19 stolen bases across 501 plate appearances.

Kieboom went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Mets.

Since being called back up in late July in the wake of Starlin Castro being placed on administrative leave and later handed a 30-game suspension, Kieboom has handled an everyday role at third base. Despite receiving his most extended look at the big-league level to date, Kieboom has yet to generate much enthusiasm from a fantasy perspective. In 124 plate appearances since the All-Star break, the 23-year-old is slashing .226/.333/.368 with four home runs, no stolen bases, 14 runs and 13 RBI.

Hayes was diagnosed with a bruised right hand after exiting Sunday's 4-3 win in the eighth inning, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. He went 1-for-3 with a run before leaving the game.

Wilmer Difo came on to replace Hayes, who hurt his hand at some point earlier in the contest. Fortunately for Hayes, the contusion isn't related to the left hand injury that cost him two months earlier this season, and X-rays conducted after he exited the game have already returned negative. Assuming Hayes isn't experiencing too much soreness or swelling coming out of Monday's off day, he should could rejoin the lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

Hayes was removed in the top of the eighth inning of Sunday's game against the Cardinals with right hand discomfort, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. He went 1-for-3 with a run before departing.

Hayes previously missed two months early in the season with a left wrist issue, but it was his other hand that nagged him Sunday. The Pirates are likely hoping that with the benefit of a team off day Monday, Hayes will be ready to return to action Tuesday against the White Sox.

Chapman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Yankees on Saturday.

The third baseman's 403-foot shot to center field in the fourth inning proved to be the difference in the contest after Aaron Judge got the Yankees to within one with a two-run blast of his own in the ninth. Chapman has now homered twice in the past three games, and he's left the yard a total of seven times in August while posting an impressive .273/.407/.606 slash line across 81 plate appearances (21 games).

McMahon is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

McMahon is 1-for-17 with a homer and three RBI in his last five appearances, and he'll head to the bench for Sunday's contest. Rio Ruiz will start at the hot corner for the Rockies in his place.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Moncada will take a seat for the series finale after he went 2-for-4 in Saturday's 7-0 loss, extending his hitting streak to a season-high 14 games in the process. Jake Lamb will step in at third base for Moncada, who is slashing .258/.359/.360 with two home runs and a stolen base in August.

The Phillies recalled Maton from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Philadelphia will bring up Maton from the minors to give the team an extra body in the infield after Didi Gregorius was placed on the paternity list Sunday. Freddy Galvis will step in at shortstop for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks and will likely serve as the primary option at the position while Gregorius is away from the team for up to the next three days, so Maton will presumably be limited to a bench role.
