  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Breaks out of slump Sunday

    Chapman went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead RBI single in a win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

    Chapman lined a single to left that plated Matt Olson in the sixth with what would ultimately turn out to be the winning run. The 25-year-old had been stuck in an 0-for-17 slump entering the game, so the multi-hit effort was a welcome departure from recent struggles. Despite Sunday's production, Chapman has still limped to a paltry .198 average in May.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Back in lineup Monday

    Segura (head) is starting at shortstop and hitting leadoff Monday against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Segura exited Saturday's game against the Twins after getting accidentally kicked in the head. Fortunately, it was determined afterwards that the shortstop didn't suffer a concussion and wouldn't require a stay on the disabled list. He apparently checked out OK following a workout Monday morning, so Segura will rejoin the starting lineup after missing just one game. The 28-year-old is hitting an impressive .324/.341/.456 with four homers and 12 stolen bases in 50 games this season, and he'll look to keep things rolling against righty Doug Fister in his return to action.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Astros' J.D. Davis: Gets start Monday

    Davis will start at first base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Yankees.

    With Alex Bregman getting a day off, Yulieski Gurriel moves to third base and Davis takes Gurriel's usual spot across the diamond.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Out of Monday's lineup

    Bregman is out of Monday's lineup against the Yankees.

    He is hitting .287/.404/.540 with four home runs and two steals over his last 23 games, but will start the Memorial Day matinee on the bench. Yulieski Gurriel will start at third base and hit fourth, while J.D. Davis starts at first base.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Nationals' Anthony Rendon: Swats fifth homer Sunday

    Rendon went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

    The third baseman is heating up, slashing .348/.423/.609 over the last six games with four of his eight hits (three doubles and the homer) going for extra bases. Rendon's overall fantasy numbers remain lackluster on the season, but it's just a matter of time before the 27-year-old goes on an extended tear at the plate.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Records 10th home run

    Arenado went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Reds.

    Arenado connected for a home run off right-hander Tanner Rainey in the sixth inning, his 10th of the season. He enjoyed the Rockies' weekend series against the Reds, going 3-for-9 with two home runs, three RBI and four runs scored. He'll have the chance to keep it going as the Rockies will continue their homestand by welcoming in the Giants starting Monday.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Hits sixth homer of season

    Muncy went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run to help the Dodgers to a 6-1 victory over the Padres on Sunday.

    Muncy wasn't in the lineup to start the game against Padres lefty Matt Strahm, but he made his presence felt after entering as a pinch hitter, launching a two-run blast off Tyler Webb. That makes six long balls in just 83 at-bats in 2018 for Muncy, and he's now boasting an impressive .241/.354/.518 slash line for the season.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Indians' Jose Ramirez: Records 16th double

    Ramirez went 2-for-6 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Astros.

    Ramirez got Cleveland on the board early, as he hit a two-run homer to right in the bottom of the first. The 25-year-old third baseman has been on a tear of late, recording a base knock in eight of his last 10 games. He's batting an impressive .292 with 15 home runs and 37 RBI through 50 contests. Ramirez will try to stay hot at the plate as the Indians host the White Sox on Monday.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Will avoid DL

    Segura (head) won't be moved to the disabled list and is set to work out Monday with the potential to be in the starting lineup, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Segura exited Saturday's game after being accidentally kicked in the head, and upon further evaluation, he didn't suffer a concussion. This is good news for the Mariners, as Segura won't need to hit the disabled list, and he'll likely be back on the field within the next few days.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Unavailable Sunday vs. Twins

    Segura (head) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins, TJ Cotterill of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    As expected, Segura, who departed Saturday's game in the eighth inning when he was inadvertently kicked in the head while manning the field, underwent a test for a concussion Sunday morning. According to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, Segura said he has to take and pass another test later Sunday before gaining clearance from the protocol, so the Mariners should soon have clarity regarding whether or not he has a concussion. If he is diagnosed with a concussion, Segura would then be placed on the 7-day disabled list, with Triple-A Tacoma infielder Zach Vincej prepared to assume Segura's spot on the 25-man roster, per Divish.
