Rendon went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and four RBI on Saturday in an 8-7 win against Arizona.

Rendon put the Angels on the board in the fourth inning, slugging a solo homer to left field. He plated another two runs with a double in the following frame and tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. The third baseman snapped a 27-game, 102-at-bat stretch without a home run, the second-longest power drought of his career. He is slashing .241/.317/.370 with four homers and 30 RBI on the season.

Segura went 3-for-6 with two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Yankees.

Segura extended the Phillies' lead to 5-2 with an RBI single off Nestor Cortes in the fourth inning. After the bullpen stumbled to allow the Yankees to force extra innings, Segura was able to deliver his second walk-off hit in the past three games with a run-scoring infield single in the 10th inning. Segura has enjoyed a resurgent campaign through 46 games played this season, posting a .329/.381/.457 slash line across 189 plate appearances.

Devers went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Blue Jays. He was also caught stealing a base.

Devers was directly involved in the team's two runs. The third baseman now has 49 RBI on the season but was caught off guard on the basepaths a couple times, getting caught while stealing once and getting picked off once as well. The fifth-year third baseman currently ranks second in the American League in RBI, only behind Vladimir Guerrero, who has 52.

Muncy has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Muncy exited Friday's game with side tightness, and manager Dave Roberts said earlier Saturday that the infielder was going through tests to determine if he would have to go on the injured list. The severity of the strain isn't known at this point, but given that oblique injuries often lead to multi-week absences, Muncy seems in danger of missing the rest of June. He'll become eligible to be reinstated June 21. The Dodgers will likely provide further update later Saturday. Luke Raley was recalled in a corresponding roster move.

Chapman went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three total RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's win over the Royals.

Chapman was a key offensive piece for the Athletics on Saturday, blasting his sixth homer of the season in the sixth inning and also ripping his ninth double of the campaign. The star third baseman has hit safely in four of Oakland's last six games and has posted back-to-back multi-hit games. He's hitting .305 across 36 at-bats this month.

Moustakas (heel) has a good chance to return during the Reds' upcoming road trip, which runs from June 14-22, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Moustakas has already missed nearly a month with a bruised right heel. He ran the bases and took grounders Friday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, at which point his exact return date should become more clear.

Muncy (side) is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Rangers, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Muncy exited Friday's game with tightness in his right side. The severity of the issue is still not entirely clear, so it remains to be seen if an IL stint could be in the infielder's future. Albert Pujols will start at first base and bat fourth Saturday.

Candelario was transferred from the bereavement list to the COVID-19 injured list Saturday as he goes through intake testing before he can return to the roster.

Candelario has been away from the team since hitting the bereavement list Tuesday. He'll wait at least one more day before being activated, though his absence shouldn't be a long one unless the tests come back with unexpected results.

Newman is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Newman owns a .428 OPS over his last 16 games, though that isn't a whole lot worse than the .515 OPS he posted over his first 41 contests. Erik Gonzalez starts at shortstop in his absence.

Hayes will not start Saturday's game against the Brewers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Hayes started eight straight games after returning from a wrist injury, recording at least one hit in all eight. He'll rest Saturday, with Phillip Evans starting at third base.
