Segura went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 win over Washington. He was also hit by a pitch.

The infielder worked a double-steal with J.T. Realmuto in the first inning. Segura also sparked Philadelphia's ninth-inning rally with a leadoff double before scoring on Andrew McCutchen's walkoff home run. Through 310 plate appearances, Segura is slashing .312/.366/.454 with seven stolen bases, six home runs, 33 RBI and 38 runs scored.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-4 win over Toronto.

The third baseman went deep for the fifth time in his last eight games. Devers has maintained an excellent .281/.354/.581 slash line with 27 homers, 81 RBI, 67 runs scored and three stolen bases in 410 plate appearances. He's now five homers shy of matching his career-high 32 from the 2019 season.

McMahon (lower leg) isn't included in Monday's lineup against the Angels.

McMahon missed Sunday's contest due to lower-leg stiffness, and the issue will force him to miss at least one additional game. Joshua Fuentes will man the hot corner and bat eighth in McMahon's absence.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said Monday that Rendon (hamstring) is still on the mend and won't be ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this week, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon suffered a setback earlier in the month, and it would appear he's still at least a couple of weeks away from activation, especially since he'll require a rehab stint beforehand. He hasn't seen the field since July 4 due to a left hamstring strain.

Miranda went 3-for-5 with a homer and two RBI against Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

He's now hitting a spectacular .337/.398/.653 across 24 games with the Triple-A club -- even better numbers than what he put up in Double-A. Miranda has racked up 21 homers, 60 RBI and 60 runs in 71 games across the two levels he's seen this year, and he's managed to do so while striking out just 43 times. If not for the presence (and contract) of Josh Donaldson, Miranda might be in the majors already. As it stands, he appears poised to keep terrorizing Triple-A pitching until the Twins are ready to call him up.

Sosa is hitting .176 (3-for-17) with six strikeouts and one hit-by-pitch over his last 10 games.

Sosa has seen fairly steady work as an in-game defensive replacement over that span; however, he hasn't exactly been discerning at the plate, as both his average and complete lack of walks suggest. Sosa still carries a serviceable .324 on-base percentage for the season, but his average has dropped 10 points to .247 during his current skid.

The White Sox optioned Burger to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Since receiving his first big-league call-up July 2, Burger had been seeing semi-regular at-bats as a third baseman and designated hitter. He appeared in 15 games, going 10-for-38 (.263 average) with a home run and three RBI across 42 plate appearances. Playing time was about to become more elusive for Burger with the White Sox welcoming back Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) from the 60-day injured list Monday, so the rookie will head back to Charlotte in order to play on an everyday basis.

McMahon wasn't available for Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers due to lower-leg stiffness, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

McMahon's absence from the lineup in the series finale was initially believed to be a routine maintenance day, but acting manager Mike Redmond indicated afterward that the infielder was dealing with an injury. The Rockies will presumably re-evaluate McMahon ahead of Monday's game against the Angels, and a stint on the injured list could be in the forecast if the 26-year-old's condition hasn't improved in a meaningful way.

Muncy (personal) was activated from the paternity list Monday.

Muncy was away from the team during the weekend series against the Rockies. He'll look to build on his career-high .978 OPS upon his return. Sheldon Neuse was optioned in a corresponding move.

Jung has a five-game hit and RBI streak going at Double-A Frisco, a span in which he's gone 9-for-20 (.450) with two homers, two doubles, seven RBI and a 2:2 BB:K.

This hot stretch has lifted his season OPS back over the .900 mark to .906. A foot injury caused Jung to miss the beginning of the minor-league season, but he's pushed past that setback in impressive fashion. His power output looks great, his strikeout rate is trim, and he generally looks ready to move on up in the organization. Look for the Rangers to give him some exposure to Triple-A next month ahead of a probable September call-up. It's about time for fantasy managers to make sure they know that Jung is pronounced like "Young."
