  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Braves' Josh Donaldson: Bashes 23rd home run

    Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's victory over Washington.

    Donaldson swatted a 432-foot home run to left field in the sixth inning, then singled in another run in the seventh. The impressive outing continued Donaldson's productive July in which he has compiled a 1.221 OPS along with eight homers and 18 runs batted in. After a pair of injury-plagued seasons, the 33-year-old has enjoyed a resurgent 2019, slashing .256/.374/.521 with 23 homers and 58 RBI in 340 at-bats.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Blasts 14th homer

    LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-4 loss against the Rockies on Sunday.

    The 31-year-old's incredible season continued Sunday, as he hit his 14th homer. He's now just one shy of his career-high 15 home runs from last year, and LeMahieu is on an eight-game hitting streak. He is batting .333 with 14 home runs, 68 RBI, 71 runs and four steals in 375 at-bats this season.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Homers in win over Marlins

    Muncy went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk during Sunday's 9-0 win over the Marlins.

    Muncy gave his club an early lead with a two-run home run to left center in the first inning. He later walked and scored a run, giving him his fourth multi-run effort in the last six games. Muncy also has three home runs to go along with six RBI during that span. The Dodgers head into their next series at home against the Angels.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Indians' Jose Ramirez: Drills 10th homer

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over Kansas City.

    Ramirez delivered a solo homer in the sixth inning to give his club a 3-2 lead, and the Indians wouldn't look back. The 26-year-old third baseman has collected a base knock in nine of his last 10 contests, going 14-for-41 with three home runs and 11 RBI over that stretch.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Exits Sunday's game

    Segura was removed from Sunday's contest against the Pirates with heel soreness, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

    The injury was likely an aggravation of the heel injury Segura suffered July 15. He was forced to miss two games prior to returning for the team's series finale Thursday against the Dodgers. Scott Kingery shifted to shortstop to replace Segura while Nick Williams entered the game to play left field.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Absent from Sunday's lineup

    Riley is not in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

    Riley has now been relegated to the bench in two of the team's last four games thanks to the return of Ender Inciarte. However, Riley hasn't helped his cause by hitting just .170/.224/.302 across 58 plate appearances in July. Inciarte is starting in Riley's place, manning center field and batting eighth.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Quiet in return

    Chapman (ankle) went 0-for-4 with a walk in a win over the Twins on Saturday.

    Chapman returned to the starting lineup after only appearing as a defensive replacement in Friday night's contest. The slugging third baseman had a quiet night at the plate, but of overriding importance was the fact he played the full game in the field without any setbacks to his previously sore ankle.

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Available off bench

    Senzel (hamstring) is available off the bench Sunday against the Cardinals, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

    Senzel remains out of the starting lineup Sunday but will be available off the bench for the second consecutive contest. Manager David Bell indicated that he was playing it safe by not starting Senzel, meaning he could be close to a return to the lineup.

  • Matt Duffy 3B | TEX

    Rays' Matt Duffy: To be activated next week

    Duffy (hamstring) will be activated from the 60-day injured list at some point during the upcoming series against the Red Sox, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    The Rays have a home series Monday through Wednesday against Boston, during which Duffy will make his return. He is hitting .263/.358/.439 with two home runs and a 7:6 K:BB in 57 at-bats during his rehab assignment. Duffy will likely occupy a reserve role once healthy.

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Still sitting Sunday

    Senzel (hamstring) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals.

    Senzel was used as a pinch runner Saturday and remained in the game to play defense, but he is apparently not ready to play all nine innings yet. Jesse Winker will start in center field while leading off.
