Rendon went 3-for-4 with a home run, walk, two RBI and two runs in the Nationals' 6-4 victory over the Braves on Sunday.

Rendon extended his on-base streak to 25 games with his third-inning two-run homer, his 20th of the season. It's the fourth time in five seasons Rendon has reached the 20-homer threshhold, with his injury-plagued 2015 campaign marking the only time he failed to achieve the feat. While he lacks the elite power production of some of his contemporaries at the corner-infield spots, Rendon's steady home-run outputs paired with typically high batting averages has continued to make him a quality value pick in fantasy drafts the last few years.

Segura is sitting out Sunday against the Angels, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Segura only recently got over an illness that had kept him out for three consecutive games, so he'll be given some additional time to recuperate following back-to-back starts in which he went 2-for-9 with a walk and two runs. Andrew Romine gets the nod at shortstop in his stead in the series finale.

Anderson is not in the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson has just a .469 OPS with a 41.9 percent strikeout rate in the month of September, so he'll get a day off Sunday. Miguel Rojas will man the hot corner in his stead.

Ramirez will not start Sunday against the Tigers.

Ramirez will sit for just the fourth time this season. Adam Rosales will get the call at second base.

Muncy went 1-for-1 with four walks, an RBI and a pair of runs scored in Saturday's win over St. Louis.

Muncy's power outbreak has calmed a bit (by his standards) with just two homers over his last 17 games, but he has continued to be an on-base machine with 13 walks over that span. The 27-year-old is no longer seeing everyday playing time, but he remains in the lineup against right-handed starters more often than not, keeping his fantasy value afloat.

Machado went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 17-4 rout of the Cardinals on Saturday.

Machado provided one of the Dodgers' five long balls, upping his season total to 35 in the process. The 25-year-old is just two homers and one RBI away from tying his career highs in each category with 13 games left in the 2018 campaign.

Duffy went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the A's.

Duffy reached base twice in this one, poking a single in the first frame before walking and stealing second base in the seventh. The 27-year-old now has 11 stolen bases, just one shy of his career high set in 2014. He's also sporting a healthy .297/.360/.369 slash line over 123 games.

Chapman went 3-for-5 with a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Rays.

Chapman collected a pair of singles before taking Sergio Romo deep in the ninth inning for his 23rd homer of the season. The third baseman has now hit safely in 11 of 13 games this month, going 16-for-53 (.302) with a home run and 11 RBI over that stretch.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

The grand slam provided all of the Cardinals' runs in their 17-4 loss. The 27-year-old now has four homers in 45 plate appearances in his debut season, hitting .231/.333/.538 overall.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with three runs, two RBI, a double and a triple in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Tigers.

It's Ramirez's first multi-hit game since Aug. 28, and he was slashing .164/.303/.255 with three extra-base hits over 66 plate appearances in that stretch prior to Saturday. The 25-year-old came up a home run short of the cycle and has a .282 average and .973 OPS with 38 home runs and 101 RBI this season.
