Devers went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Athletics.

There wasn't much offense in this game, as Devers and Alex Verdugo were the only batters to record extra-base hits. Devers doubled off Deolis Guerra in the ninth inning, threatening to extend the lead. The 24-year-old leads the Red Sox in home runs (20) and RBI (68). He is slashing .285/.354/.570 in 305 plate appearances. He has reached base safely 11 times in his current six-game hitting streak.

Machado went 2-for-2 with two home runs, five RBI, three runs and three walks in Sunday's 11-1 win over the Phillies.

Machado homered in each of his first two at-bats Sunday to give the Padres an early 5-0 lead, and he reached base safely in each of his five plate appearances. The multi-hit performance was his first since June 25, and the 28-year-old has now recorded hits in each of his last four games. During his hit streak, he's gone 5-for-11 with three home runs, seven RBI, seven runs and a stolen base.

Henderson is hitting just .032/.295/.032 across 44 plate appearances since his promotion to High-A Aberdeen.

The highly regarded young shortstop got off to a tremendous start in Low-A, putting up a .312/.369/.574 batting line, but the next level up has presented a far greater challenge, as Henderson has picked up just a single hit since his promotion while striking out in 38.6 percent of his plate appearances. On the bright side, he's also drawn a dozen walks in that time -- almost as many as he'd managed in 157 plate appearances in Low-A. There's plenty to dream on with Henderson, but this speed bump means he's not likely to race through the minor-league ranks.

Muncy went 2-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.

Muncy was unable to reach base in any of his first three plate appearances Sunday, but he got hot late with doubles in the seventh and ninth innings. The 30-year-old has driven in multiple runs in three of the last four games, and he's gone 4-for-15 with a home run, nine RBI, two runs and three walks during that time.

Rendon (hamstring) may be unavailable Monday but isn't believed to be dealing with a serious injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon exited Sunday's win over the Orioles in the top of the sixth inning due to left hamstring tightness, but manager Joe Maddon sounded optimistic about the third baseman's status after the game. Jose Rojas or Phil Gosselin could see time at the hot corner if the 31-year-old misses any additional time, but he's considered day-to-day for now.

Rendon left Sunday's game against the Orioles due to left hamstring tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon was removed from Sunday's game midway through the sixth inning, and he's apparently dealing with a hamstring issue. The third baseman will presumably undergo further examinations following Sunday's game, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Candelario went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-5 win over the White Sox.

Sunday was the third baseman's first three-hit effort since May 28. Candelario singled and scored in the second inning. He also hit an RBI double and came around to score again in the fifth. The 27-year-old had a hot stretch in May, but he's since leveled off with a .265/.347/.369 slash line, four home runs, 23 RBI, 33 runs scored and 17 doubles through 314 plate appearances this year.

Rendon exited Sunday's game against the Orioles in the sixth inning for an unspecified reason, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk to begin Sunday's game, but he was replaced defensively during the top of the sixth inning. It's not yet clear whether his departure was due to an injury, but the Angels could update his status following Sunday's matchup.

Escobar (quadriceps) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Giants.

Escobar has been battling a quad issue for the past couple weeks and finds himself on the bench for the second consecutive contest. Asdrubal Cabrera will receive another start at the hot corner for Arizona.

Arenado went 1-for-2 with a double and two walks in a loss to the Rockies on Saturday.

The slugger continues to get on base at a torrid pace, as he now owns a .395 OBP across his last nine games. Arenado has a solid-but-unspectacular .267 average during that stretch, but he's also drawn seven walks in addition to lacing eight hits, six (four doubles, two home runs) of which have gone for extra bases.
