Rendon went 4-for-5 with two runs scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Rendon didn't improve on his 90 RBI or 58 extra-base hits, but the four-hit day bumped his slash line to .320/.404/.607 as he remains one of the most lethal batters of 2019. It was his first four-hit game since June of last season, and he's now 12-for-34 (.353) with seven runs scored in August.

Arenado is not in Sunday's lineup against the Padres.

This is the first game he has missed since July 25. He is hitting .346 with four home runs in 14 straight starts. Ryan McMahon will start at third base and hit fifth.

Duffy is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He is hitting .245/.310/.345 with zero home runs and zero steals in 53 at-bats this season. Mike Brosseau will start at third base and hit sixth.

Urshela went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Saturday's loss to Toronto.

Urshela slugged a 424-foot blast to center field in the sixth inning to notch his sixth home run in his last five games. Since the start of July, the 27-year-old is hitting .356 with 11 homers and 23 RBI in 101 at-bats. Over that span, he has collected 36 hits, 23 of which have gone for extra bases.

Longoria went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

Longoria was moved down to fifth in the order after going 0-for-5 in Friday's loss, but the veteran responded with his 14th long ball of the season. It was the 33-year-old's first homer since returning from the injured list Aug. 4, and he has gone 6-for-23 (.261) in six starts over that span.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Padres.

His solo shot in the fourth inning extended his current hitting streak to a modest seven games, during which Arenado is slashing .417/.444/.917 with four homers and six RBI. The All-Star third baseman is having another impressive fantasy campaign, hitting .308 with 26 home runs, 87 RBI and 75 runs through 116 games.

Bregman went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 23-2 win at Baltimore.

Bregman had only the three plate appearances since he made an early exit with the Astros holding a huge lead, yet he still made significant contributions Saturday. The 25-year-old has a .322/.444/.621 slash line with five homers in 25 games since the All-Star break.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Saturday's 4-0 win over Arizona.

Muncy took starter Alex Young deep in the second inning on a 428-foot blast that landed in the center field seats. He also came around to score on a Russell Martin single in the fourth inning after getting aboard with a walk. Muncy is hitting .260/.370/.519 with 28 homers, 76 RBI and 78 run scored in 114 games this season.

Candelario (thumb) is set to receive a CT scan, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The Tigers are expecting Candelario to be out for an extended time but would like clarification on the injury due to the soreness he continues to experience. Officially placed on the injured list Tuesday, there is no timetable for Candelario's return.

Chapman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

Chapman's 359-foot shot in the first inning gave the Athletics a quick lead and snapped an 0-for-16 skid that had encompassed his prior five games. The slugging third baseman only has three round trippers in the second half of the season, with two of those having come since the calendar flipped to August. Chapman's multi-hit effort was also his first since July 21, a testament to the extent of his recent struggles at the plate.
