Riley went 4-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 7-2 loss to Toronto.

The Braves offense couldn't get much going Sunday, but Riley managed to knock four singles during the loss. It was his third multi-hit game over his last five appearances and second time with four hits during that span. The 24-year-old is slashing .329/.431/.459 with16 runs scored through 102 plate appearances.

Ramirez went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run, a pair of walks and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 5-0 win over the White Sox.

Ramirez got on base in a variety of ways Sunday. His best moment came in the seventh inning when he took Chicago reliever Codi Heuer deep for a two-run homer. Ramirez is slashing .280/.367/.602 with eight home runs, 17 RBI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases across 109 plate appearances this season. The third baseman has homered four times in his last six games.

Davis (hand) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 28-year-old suffered a left hand sprain during Saturday's game and will be sidelined for at least one contest. According to Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record, Davis doesn't believe it's a serious injury but isn't sure if a stay on the injured list will be necessary. Jonathan Villar will start at third base for the Mets in his absence Sunday.

Manager Don Mattingly expects Anderson (oblique) to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 27-year-old was eligible to be activated during the weekend series against the Nationals, but he'll end up spending a little more than the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Anderson was off to a slow start before the injury with a .200/.262/.300 slash line, one home run, five RBI and three runs in 17 games.

Hayes (wrist) took swings in soft toss this weekend, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old has been throwing and running and was able to get a bat in his hands this weekend. It's only some light swinging, but it's significant step in his return from the wrist injury. Hayes will need to progress to facing live pitching before having a chance of returning from the injured list.

Urias will start at second base and bat ninth Sunday against the Athletics, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Urias will remain in the starting nine for the fourth game in a row. The first two of those turns came at shortstop for the injured Freddy Galvis, but he'll get the nod at second base for the second day in a row with the Athletics bringing a lefty (Sean Manaea) to the mound. Since Galvis is healthy again and Rio Ruiz appears locked in as the strong-side platoon option at the keystone, Urias' path to regular playing time still appears blocked.

Longoria is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria started the past three games and will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Wilmer Flores will start at the hot corner and bat third for the Giants.

Muncy is not in the lineup Sunday at Milwaukee, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Muncy is 2-for-39 with 15 walks and 18 strikeouts in his past 13 games, and he'll receive the day off Sunday to reset. Matt Beaty will start at first base and bat sixth for the Dodgers in the series finale.

Duffy is starting at third base and batting fifth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Duffy will be making his second start of the weekend series, as the Cubs have been using Kris Bryant in the outfield more frequently with Joc Pederson (wrist) on the injured list. Pederson is traveling with the team but has yet to be activated, so Duffy should continue to have some short-term fantasy value with the elevated playing time. He's slashing .275/.408/.300 through 40 at-bats this season.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

With Mike Moustakas recently missing time due to an illness and with Jonathan India (undisclosed) having been moved to the 10-day injured list earlier this weekend, Farmer has benefited from an uptick in work. He drew starts in the infield in four of the past five games, going 4-for-12 while reaching base at a .429 clip over that span. Though Farmer looks like the Reds' top utility infielder, he may not get the chance to play regularly at the keystone while India remains out. Nick Senzel will pick up his second start of the season at second base, and he could eventually settle in as the Reds' primary option at the position if manager David Bell wants to trot out his most potent lineup.
