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.

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.
