Chapman went 3-for-6 with a run in an extra-innings win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

All the knocks were singles, but they served to extend his impressive on-base streak to 20 games. Chapman has four doubles, a triple, six home runs and 18 RBI over that stretch, leading to a .304/.378/.608 slash line across 90 plate appearances.

Moncada took batting practice Sunday and could return for Monday's series opener in Minnesota, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old is not playing Sunday and has been out since Thursday, when he was removed from the game with a bruised right hand. Jake Burger is starting at third base Sunday and figures to do so Monday if Moncada is ultimately unable to play.

Ramirez (elbow) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

The team has provided no further update regarding Ramirez and his left elbow, so he should still be considered day-to-day at this time. Until Ramirez is good to go, Ernie Clement figures to continue starting at third base for Cleveland, which doesn't have a day off until the All-Star break.

Hayes is out of the lineup Sunday against the Brewers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Hayes is 1-for-22 with a double, a run and a steal in the past six games and will receive a day to reset Sunday. Wilmer Difo will work at the hot corner in his place.

Donaldson (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Right hamstring tightness will sideline Donaldson for the series finale after he exited Saturday's contest with the injury. The Twins have provided no further updates on the third baseman's condition, so he should still be considered day-to-day. Luis Arraez is starting at third base and batting leadoff Sunday.

Peterson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.

Peterson is 14-for-30 with a homer, five doubles, eight walks, 11 RBI, 10 runs and two stolen bases in his past 10 games, and he'll take a seat Sunday after making seven consecutive starts. Despite the day off, the 31-year-old should continue seeing regular playing time until Kolten Wong (calf) returns sometime after the All-Star break.

Bregman (quadriceps) has begun light running, but he will not return before the All-Star break.

Bregman indicated he's way ahead of schedule in his return timeline but admitted Saturday that he won't be back before the All-Star break. Interested observers should plan on a late-July return.

Toro went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over Cleveland.

His fourth-inning blast off Eli Morgan wound up being the game's winning run, giving the Astros a 3-0 lead at the time. Toro has more than held his own since stepping in for Alex Bregman (quadriceps) in mid-June, slashing .292/.375/.479 through 14 games with three homers and 15 RBI, but with Bregman potentially set to return to action soon after the All-Star break, Toro's window for regular at-bats may not remain open much longer.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Saturday against the Phillies.

Machado belted his 19th homer in the first inning to stake the Padres to a 2-0 lead against Philadelphia starter Zach Eflin. Machado's bat had gone cold over the previous week, and his round tripper Saturday was his first extra-base knock in his last eight games. He's slashing .259/.335/.457 in 319 plate appearances on the season, a big drop across the board compared to the .304/.370/.580 line he put up during the shortened 2020 campaign.

Longoria (shoulder) could return from the injured list around the third week of July, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria has been participating in baseball activities for just over a week, and he could return the Giants shortly after the All-Star break. The third baseman has been on the injured list since June 6, so he could require a rehab assignment before he's cleared to return.
