X-rays on Moncada's right knee were negative.

Fantasy owners can breathe a sigh of relief after Moncada bumped knees with the Royals' Paulo Orlando on a pickoff play at second base Saturday. Officially, Moncada's day-to-day with a bruised knee. It would make sense if the White Sox gave him Sunday off, effectively extending his All-Star break.

Moncada exited Saturday's game after bumping knees with Paulo Orlando on a pickoff play at second base, James Fegan of The Athletic Chicago reports.

Moncada went down in a heap following the play, although he managed to walk off the field under his own power. More news on his status should be released in the near future. Daniel Palka entered the game following Moncada's injury.

Lewis moved up to High-A Fort Myers on Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Lewis put together a solid .315/.368/.485 slash line with nine homers and 53 RBI over 75 games at Low-A Cedar Rapids in 2018. He appears to be firing on all cylinders after suffering a knee injury in mid-June.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Friday's 3-0 win over the Tigers.

Bregman, who had one home run through the first 34 games, established a new career mark with his 20th homer. His transformation from minor-league shortstop to power-hitting corner infielder is now complete after Bregman was selected earlier this week to participate in the Home Run Derby as part of the All-Star Game festivities.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in the Dodgers' 3-2 victory over the Angels on Friday.

Muncy kept his ridiculous power binge right on rolling with his latest homer, a first-inning blast off Felix Pena that leaves him with 22 long balls on the season. It seems unlikely that he'll keep his OPS up around its current mark of 1.032 all year, but Muncy has legitimately been functioning as one of the best hitters in baseball through 217 at-bats. There's simply no reason to consider getting off this train until he shows signs of slowing down.

Suarez went 3-for-5 with three doubles and a pair of runs in Cincinnati's 9-1 over St. Louis on Friday.

Suarez's monster campaign continues, with this three-double performance boosting his OPS to a ridiculous .990 through 290 at-bats. The 26-year-old is fully deserving of the All-Star nod he received for his first-half efforts, and he looks poised to continue delivering huge returns throughout the season.

Longoria (hand) is 7-to-10 days from beginning a minor-league rehab stint, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria managed to take some swings in the cage Friday. He continues to eye an early-August, although he'll likely need a fair amount of at-bats in the minor leagues following surgery on his left hand.

Riley (knee) went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout for Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Riley has been on the minor-league disabled list since early June with a right knee sprain, and Thursday was his first game back with the Stripers. The 21-year-old also had a six-game rehab stint with the Rookie-level GCL Braves. Riley has a .283/.347/.425 slash line in 27 games with Gwinnett since being promoted from Double-A in early May, although his 39 strikeouts in 106 at-bats could use some improvement..

Devers underwent an MRI on Thursday that revealed no structural damage to his left shoulder, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. The third baseman is hopeful to return from the 10-day disabled list when first eligible in the Red Sox's second game out of the All-Star break July 21 against the Tigers.

Shortly after being placed on the DL, Devers revealed that his shoulder had been bothering him for about three and a half weeks, so the Red Sox will take advantage of the upcoming break and give the 21-year-old some time to recover. With the Red Sox labeling Devers' injury as inflammation, it's expected that he'll resume baseball activities within a few days before reclaiming the everyday role at the hot corner next weekend. If Devers meets his goal of returning July 21, he would only miss six games in total due to the injury.

Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two RBI in a 7-4 loss to the Yankees on Thursday.

Ramirez has four homers in his last three games as he continues terrorizing opposing pitchers. The 25-year-old MVP candidate is doing it all this season with 55 extra-base hits, 19 stolen bases, 67 RBI and a 1.013 OPS. On top of that, he's walked 55 times while striking out just 45 times.
