  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Yankees' Gio Urshela: Knocks in two

    Urshela went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

    Urshela kicked off the scoring in this one with a single to left field, knocking in a pair of runs. The 27-year-old continues to see the ball well at the dish, and he's now slashing .302/.352/.461 with seven homers and 41 RBI over 74 contests.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Battling plantar fasciitis

    Longoria (foot) is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, though manager Bruce Bochy is optimistic he'll be ready to play in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Longoria was forced to exit Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee, but the hope is that the issue won't cause him to miss much time. The Giants should have a better idea on his availability following the first half of Monday's twin bill.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Drives in three Sunday

    Candelario went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's 12-8 win over the Royals.

    Candelario's big hit was a bases clearing double in the third inning that turned a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 lead for the Tigers. The 25-year-old has looked like a different player since returning to the majors from Triple-A on June 26. In 14 games since being recalled, Candelario is batting .327 with four home runs and 11 RBI

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Leaves with foot issue

    Longoria exited Sunday's game against the Brewers with left foot discomfort, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Longoria was lifted for a pinch hitter during the fifth inning, but there was no clear indication he was otherwise dealing with an injury. The severity of the injury remains unclear, though it's poor timing regardless since the Giants have a doubleheader Monday in Colorado.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Takes seat Sunday

    Arenado is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Arenado went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's marathon 17-9 loss, and he'll take the day off for the series finale. Ryan McMahon will start at the hot corner in his place while Garrett Hampson takes over at the keystone.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Multi-hit effort in big win

    Chapman went 3-for-4 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Saturday.

    Chapman played a prominent role in the Athletics' 13-hit outburst, continuing his hot post-All-Star-break start. The third baseman had also gone 2-for-4 during a win in Friday's series opener, and he's now hitting .321 (9-for-28) overall in his first seven games of July.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Solidified as No. 2 hitter

    Segura will bat second and start at shortstop Sunday against the Nationals, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

    Though he's gone hitless through the first two games of the series, Segura looks locked into the second spot in the lineup at this point. He'll be making his 16th consecutive start out of that position and is slashing .284/.331/.433 with five steals and seven home runs over 268 at-bats as the No. 2 hitter this season.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Drills two-run homer

    Arenado went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 17-9 loss to the Reds.

    Arenado's first-inning two-run shot off Tanner Roark ended an eight-game homer drought, during which the All-Star went 6-for-29. The recent offensive lull is probably nothing for fantasy managers to be concerned about, especially with five more games on tap during the Rockies' homestand to open the second half.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Scores three times in win

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a triple, two walks and three runs Saturday in the Reds' 17-9 win over the Rockies.

    Suarez was one of several Reds to take advantage of the spacious Coors Field outfield, recording one of the team's 12 extra-base hits on the evening. After a rough June, Suarez is batting a modest .250 thus far in July, but six of his eight hits have gone for extra bases (four home runs, one triple and one double).

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Three extra-base hits in win

    Senzel went 4-for-5 with two triples, a double, a walk and two runs Saturday in the Reds' 17-9 win over the Rockies.

    Senzel was one of four Reds to finish with at least four hits as the team racked up 24 on the night. The breakout showing at the dish was a welcome sight for fantasy managers, as Senzel had been batting just .238/.292/.429 over his preceding 30 games dating back to June 1.
