Segura went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in Sunday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

Segura's three strikeouts Sunday matched his highest total of the season, but he put the Phillies on the board with his solo homer in the fourth inning. The 31-year-old has displayed impressive power across his last five games, as he's gone 6-for-23 with two homers, a double, five RBI and a walk.

Riley went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles and a strikeout in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Phillies.

Riley had totaled just one extra-base hit in his six games following the All-Star break, but he's been hot across the last three contests, as he's gone 6-for-13 with two homers, three doubles, three runs and three RBI. The 24-year-old was a bright spot in Atlanta's lineup Sunday since the team generated only one hit outside of the third baseman's production.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-3 loss to Miami.

Machado's solo shot in the fourth inning gave the Padres a short-lived 2-1 lead. The All-Star slugger has been terrific this month, going 24-for-71 (.338) with 13 extra-base hits and 18 RBI. On the season, he's slashing .275/.355/.497 with 17 long balls and 60 runs scored through 392 plate appearances.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple and three runs scored in Sunday's 10-6 win over Cincinnati.

The third baseman extended his hitting streak to six games in a big way Sunday. He started with a single in the first, then added a triple in the fourth and a solo shot in the ninth, coming up just a double shy of a cycle. Arenado reached the 20-homer mark for the sixth time in his career, and he's slashing .261/.314/.504 with 61 RBI, 49 runs scored and a stolen base through 408 plate appearances.

Urshela (illness) went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Urshela had been out of the lineup since July 16 due to a positive test for COVID-19. He was reasonably productive in his return to the lineup, putting the Yankees ahead 2-0 with his fourth-inning RBI single. The third baseman is slashing .275/.318/.440 with 11 home runs, 39 RBI, 30 runs scored and a stolen base through 318 plate appearances.

Baty went 4-for-4 with a homer, two doubles, a walk, six RBI and three runs for Double-A Binghamton against Eries on Saturday.

He'd been off to a quiet start for the Rumble Ponies, having hit just .139 with 15 strikeouts and zero RBI in 40 plate appearances across his first nine games after being promoted. This game, though, was a reminder of what Baty -- the No. 12 pick in the 2019 draft -- showed off in High-A earlier this season. The base on balls was particularly nice to see, as his walk rate has dipped at the higher level, while his strikeout rate is an unsavory 33.3 percent even after this performance. All in all, Baty's outlook hasn't changed much this year -- he still has monster power and works deep counts, but there's also plenty of swing-and-miss in his game. Though he'll probably never hit for impressive average or be a great defender, Baty's power will likely play in the big leagues, but he probably won't arrive until late 2022 or 2023.

Burger remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

The lack of the designated hitter being available for the three-game series in Milwaukee has hurt Burger, who will go without a start on the weekend. The rookie should slot back into at least a part-time role during the upcoming week, when the White Sox kick off a seven-game slate versus a pair of American League opponents (Kansas City and Cleveland).

McMahon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

McMahon will take a seat for the first time in the second half after he went 8-for-24 with a pair of doubles, four walks, four runs and three RBI through the Rockies' first seven games out of the All-Star break. Joshua Fuentes will fill in for McMahon at third base.

Bregman (quadriceps) will report to Triple-A Sugar Land to begin a rehab assignment Monday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman isn't expected to return during Houston's 10-day road trip, which begins Monday, but the rehab assignment indicates his activation is on the horizon. The 27-year-old could be back for the Aug. 5 matchup with the Twins if the rehab stint goes smoothly.

Newman went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Giants.

Newman hit four singles in the win, marking his first game of the year with three RBI and four hits. He is batting .246 in the month of July, which is his best month so far this season. The 27-year-old is slashing .216/.254/.274, much worse than his 2019 slash line of .308/.353/.446. To make matters worse, he is less of a stolen base threat this year with only two steals.
