Moustakas (finger) is not starting Sunday against the Dodgers.

Moustakas left Saturday's game with a bruised ring finger on his right hand after making a diving stop. Hernan Perez will start at second base in his absence.

Chapman went 2-for-3 in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Chapman had one of only two multi-hit efforts on the day for the Athletics, who were stymied by Matt Shoemaker and two relievers. The third baseman has hit safely in three straight, and Saturday's second straight two-hit effort vaulted his average back over the .300 mark to .309.

Rendon (elbow) is not starting Sunday against Miami.

Rendon was hit in the elbow by a pitch Saturday but didn't suffer anything worse than a bruise. His elbow remains stiff and swollen, Byron Kerr of MASN Sports reports, but the Nationals currently aren't expecting him to require a trip to the injured list. He'll get at least one day to rest, with Howie Kendrick starting at third base Sunday.

Moustakas has a bruised ring finger on his right hand, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Moustakas left Saturday's win over the Dodgers with what was originally labeled right hand discomfort, though it was later clarified to be a finger issue. The 30-year-old is day-to-day for now, and given the issue is on his throwing hand, it wouldn't be surprising to see him receive the day off Sunday.

Senzel (ankle) played seven innings in back-to-back games at extended spring training and is expected to travel to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Senzel has been seeing limited action in games over the past week but now appears ready to join Louisville. The 23-year-old has been recovering from the right ankle sprain for almost a month but could see game action with the Bats as early as Tuesday.

Rendon was diagnosed with a bruised left elbow after exiting Saturday's game against the Marlins, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Rendon left Saturday's game after being hit by a pitch on the left elbow, but thankfully he was able to avoid a fracture. Manager Dave Martinez said the 28-year-old could avoid the injured list and should be considered day-to-day until he is further evaluated Sunday morning.

Moustakas was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers with right hand discomfort, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Moustakas went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts before he was replaced at third base by Travis Shaw. The 30-year-old made a diving stop in the field earlier in the game, but it's unclear if that was the cause of the issue.

Escobar went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.

Escobar's first-inning homer, his second home run this season, was all Zack Greinke and Taylor Clarke needed. The infielder entered 2019 coming off two straight seasons of at least 20 home runs but has been slow out of the gate in the power department. Saturday's five total bases pushed his slugging percentage up to .319, well off the .471 slugging percentage he posted over the last two seasons.

Rendon left Saturday's game against the Marlins after getting hit by a pitch, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Rendon appeared to be in pain after the pitch struck his left elbow. He stayed in the game to run the bases but was pulled after the inning ended. The specifics of the injury are not yet clear.

Urshela went 3-for-4 with a double and a run in the Yankees' 9-2 win over the Royals on Saturday.

Urshela was starting after sitting the previous two games and responded with this three-hit effort that included his fourth double in 28 at-bats. The 27-year-old has yet to hit a homer, but he's swinging the bat well in part-time duty as he's now slashing .321/.406/.464 in 12 games.
