Asuaje was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Asuaje was sent back to the minors to make room for reliever Tyler Webb, who was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move to offer extra bullpen depth. The 26-year-old appeared primarily as a defensive replacement during his most recent stint with the Padres, going 0-for-3 in his only start. He'll continue to serve as organizational infield depth.

Robinson (hip) was activated from the disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Robinson didn't do enough for the Rangers prior to his injury to merit a return to the big leagues. He hit just .175/.258/.238 in 89 plate appearances and struck out 50.6 percent of the time. With the ability to play both middle infield and center field, he has multiple routes back to the big leagues, but nothing in his track record suggests he'll be a viable fantasy option if and when he returns.

Segura went 2-for-5 with a game-winning RBI single in an extra-innings victory over the Tigers on Sunday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.

Segura laced a hit to right field with none out in the 11th inning that plated Dee Gordon, sending the Mariners home winners. The 28-year-old seems to only be heating up as the season unfolds, as he's now hitting .346 in May following his eighth multi-hit effort in the last 11 games Sunday.

Duffy went 3-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.

The hot-hitting infielder had gone 0-for-3 with two walks in his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury Saturday, so Sunday's effort was considerably more productive. Duffy is now hitting an impressive .358 in May and slashing .328/.365/.438 over 137 plate appearances overall, with all three components of his line representing career bests. The 27-year-old is accomplishing his stellar numbers despite a career-high 24.1 percent strikeout rate, as a seemingly unsustainable .426 BABIP has played a considerable role in his early success.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in the Rockies' 9-5 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Arenado hasn't hit a homer since May 5 -- an uncharacteristically long drought for his standards -- but he's managed to continue to contribute in other areas, as this three-hit performance brought his slash line up to a brilliant .331/.418/.567 through 157 at-bats. He also threw in his second stolen base of the season, although that shouldn't be considered likely to be a recurring trend, as he's swiped just 13 bags for his career. Fantasy owners shouldn't worry about the recent mini-lull in homers for Arenado, as more hits are bound to start leaving the yard for the 27-year-old dynamo as long as he continues to swing the bat like this.

Chapman went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one walk and two runs scored Sunday in the win over the Blue Jays.

Chapman's batting average has been on the rise of late, as he's improved from .225 to .254 over his last 10 games. He's also displayed impressive power, recording 19 extra-base hits and 21 RBI on the year. The 25-year-old third baseman will look to stay hot as the Athletics begin a three-game series with the Mariners starting Tuesday.

Robinson (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Sunday.

Robinson will serve as Frisco's designated hitter in his first minor-league rehab game. The Rangers haven't announced how many rehab games Robinson will need to appear in before returning to the majors, but he could conceivably be back in the majors during the coming week. He's been out since May 5 with left hip soreness.

Davis was recalled from Triple-A Fresno on Sunday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.

Davis spent the first two weeks of the season in the big leagues but was optioned back to Fresno when Yulieski Gurriel returned from the disabled list April 12. Davis has been on fire in Triple-A recently, slashing an incredible .415/.473/.654. He'll likely operate as a bench bat or in the occasional designated hitter role for the time being.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Orioles.

Devers has been scuffling of late, hitting just .160/.192/.280 with three RBI over his last 14 games. He had been a consistent run producer early on when he knocked in 23 runs over the first 31 games and was at or near the top of the team in RBI. When Dustin Pedroia (knee) returns to active duty, the Red Sox could give Devers, who has played in 45 of the team's 46 games, more days off with Eduardo Nunez moving from second to third base. With some periodic rest and extra work in batting practice, the 21-year-old's bat could perk up again.

Muncy went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Nationals.

Muncy took advantage of playing time thanks to the Dodgers' doubleheader Saturday, accounting for the team's first two runs in the second game with an RBI single and solo home run. He has performed admirably in 66 at-bats this season, batting .258/.351/.515, but his playing time figures to fall drastically with the return of Justin Turner.
