Anderson went 3-for-5 in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

It's his fourth multi-hit performance in his last seven contests, and Anderson has a solid .286/.403/.375 slash line since the All-Star break, albeit with only one homer, three RBI and eight runs in 15 games. His lack of power and the unappealing lineup around him put a firm limit on the 25-year-old's fantasy ceiling, but he still has value in deeper formats, particularly those that use OBP.

Devers (hamstring) is expected to join the Red Sox in Toronto and be activated off the disabled list when eligible Wednesday, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

Devers will suit up for short-season Lowell on Monday. If all goes well, he'll fly to Toronto to rejoin his Red Sox teammates. He had been hitting .292 with an .827 OPS in his last 19 games before getting hurt.

Longoria went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, two runs and two RBI in the Giants' 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

The veteran has been swinging a hot bat, as he's now hit safely in nine of 10 games since resuming his spot in the lineup following a stint on the disabled list. Four of his last five have also been multi-hit efforts, a span that's seen him launch his 11th and 12th homers of the season. He's not the 30-homer threat that would regularly crank out .800 OPS seasons during his best days in Tampa Bay, but as he's demonstrated in recent days, Longoria still has some pop in his bat. He also seems to have a secure role hitting third in San Francisco's lineup, which should bode well for his fantasy prospects as long as it continues to be the case.

Machado went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs to help the Dodgers to a 3-2 win over the Astros on Sunday.

The new acquisition accounted for most of his team's offense in this contest, scoring two out of the Dodgers' three runs and lashing his 23rd double of the season. The 26-year-old star is posting eye-popping numbers over his split time between Baltimore and Los Angeles this season, with a .309/.386/.552 slash line and 26 homers through 433 at-bats. His counting stats contributions only figure to increase as he continues to settle into his new role in a Dodgers lineup that is much better than Baltimore's.

Segura went 2-for-4 with a run scored and stolen base Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Segura has gone just 8-for-40 across his last 10 games but managed to steal his 16th base of the season. It was only his second save since June -- he's been caught four times -- though he is still ninth in the American League for the season. He's remained in his customary second spot in the Mariners lineup, so even with a pedestrian .338 on-base percentage, he should have run-scoring upside.

Ramirez went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and two walks Sunday in the 4-3 win over Los Angeles.

Ramirez struck in the first inning for a three-run homer off Deck McGuire. Ramirez has put together a modest six-game hitting streak since Monday, going 10-for-22 with three home runs and eight RBI over that stretch. He continues to put up impressive numbers in 2018, as he's launched 33 home runs and driven in 82 through 109 games.

Plouffe was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Plouffe was designated for assignment Tuesday after going 3-for-12 with one extra-base hit through seven games at the big-league level. He's slashed .240/.360/.480 over 60 contests with the Iron Pigs in 2018.

Devers (hamstring) will play for short-season Lowell on Monday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Devers is eligible to return from the disabled list Wednesday, so he's expected to get a few minor-league starts prior to being activated. If all goes well, expect the 21-year-old third baseman to come off the shelf after missing the minimum.

Peterson will start in left field and lead off Sunday against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

The Orioles are including Peterson in the lineup for the sixth time in seven games. With a .330 on-base percentage and a 9-for-12 success rate on stolen-base attempts this season, Peterson makes for a serviceable option atop the order, but his lack of power and the dearth of quality talent surrounding him in the lineup puts a cap on his fantasy ceiling.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a triple and a solo home run in a win over the Tigers on Saturday.

Chapman pounded Jordan Zimmermann on a pair of occasions, and his third-inning, 419-foot shot to center erased an early 1-0 deficit. The 25-year-old is wielding a red-hot bat, now having reached safely in 14 consecutive games. Chapman is hitting .386 (22-for-57) over that span while amassing a whopping .509 wOBA, and he's up to an impressive 41 extra-base hits (21 doubles, six triples, 14 home runs) on the season.
