Bregman went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in a 9-1 victory against the Athletics on Tuesday.

The Astros were already ahead 4-0, but Bregman doubled the lead with one swing in the fourth. It was only his second homer of the year, but Bregman is hitting .302 with seven RBI, seven runs and two steals in 53 at-bats. Behind eight walks, he also owns a .397 on-base percentage and .869 OPS.

Arenado went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs in the Rockies' 8-2 win over the Padres on Tuesday.

The star third baseman looks to be heating up, as this was his third straight game with a long ball after he went the first 15 games of the season without one. Arenado got off to a slow start, but he's capable of ripping off torrid hot streaks with the best of them, so hopefully the recent power barrage is a sign is he's about to do so.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs Tuesday against the Royals.

Moncada took Jorge Lopez deep for both of his homers, increasing his total on the campaign to five. He's hit well in the early going and has recorded at least one hit in six of his last seven games, including three multi-hit efforts. Most encouragingly, his 24.3 percent strikeout rate is nearly 10 percentage points lower than his mark from last season.

Segura was diagnosed with a mild left hamstring strain Tuesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura exited Tuesday's game against the Mets after the first inning with hamstring tightness, and apparently sustained the injury on the basepaths. The 29-year-old will be re-evaluated Wednesday morning.

Asche signed a contract with the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League on Tuesday, Mike Ashmore of the Trentonian reports.

Asche joined the Dodgers on a minor-league deal in February but was apparently unable to make a lasting impression. The 28-year-old last played in the majors with the White Sox in 2017 and has a career .234/.293/.376 slash line.

McMahon (elbow) was playing in extended spring training games Tuesday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

McMahon landed on the injured list April 6 after hyperextending his left elbow and appears to be nearing his return. The 24-year-old will play in another spring training game Wednesday and is eligible to be activated off the IL when ready.

Segura left Tuesday's game against the Mets with left hamstring tightness, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Segura went 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored as the Phillies scored 10 runs during the first inning, but he didn't retake the field for the second inning. Andrew Knapp replaced him in the lineup while Scott Kingery took over at shortstop. Segura should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Robinson was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Robinson was called up as outfield depth Monday and was needed right away as Tyler O'Neill left the game with an arm injury. He will be replaced in a bench role by Yairo Munoz, who was recalled in a corresponding move.

Astudillo will start at first base and bat cleanup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Astudillo will pick up his fourth start in six games, with two apiece coming at first and third base. Though Astudillo is not a full-time player at this point, manager Rocco Baldelli hasn't been shy about deploying the 27-year-old in a prominent spot in the lineup whenever he starts. He should make for a decent value option in DFS contests Tuesday while hitting behind Max Kepler, Jorge Polanco and Eddie Rosario.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs scored, two stolen bases and two walks in Monday's 6-4 victory over the Mariners.

It took longer than expected, but Ramirez finally knocked his first home run of 2019 as well as his fourth and fifth stolen bases. He still has just nine hits in 60 at-bats this season, but Monday might've been what he needed to break the slump.
