Rendon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

He extended his hitting streak to 12 games, and Rendon is slashing a ridiculous .476/.577/.881 over that stretch with four homers, 14 RBI and eight runs. He's already matched last year's homer total with 20 in 86 games, and his next blast will tie his previous career high.

Donaldson went 1-for-7 with a strikeout in Tuesday's 15-inning loss to the Red Sox.

The big news here is that Donaldson appeared to be in pain after tagging out Xander Bogaerts in the 11th inning, but remained in the game anyway. Nothing has been announced about a possible injury, so it could be nothing, but it is something to monitor over the next couple days.

Davis was called up to Triple-A Fresno on Wednesday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Davis was hitting .279/.340/.510 with 21 home runs, 60 RBI and 49 runs at Double-A Corpus Christi during 87 games this season. The 24-year-old spent a year and a half with Corpus Christi, getting time in the outfield along with his primary position of third base, due to Alex Bregman's status with the major-league club. Fresno will provide a good test for Davis, especially challenging his strikeout rate, which he's decreased steadily over the past two seasons (from 28.4 percent in 2015 at High-A ball, to 23.2 percent this year).

Moncada, who was called up to Chicago on Tuesday, is expected to play on a regular basis, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

While it could have been assumed that Moncada, the White Sox's top prospect, would have an everyday job, general manager Rick Hahn affirmed that Tuesday when he said the team wasn't "bringing him here to sit." He will be in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Asuaje went 2-for-5 with a double, his first MLB homer and two runs in Tuesday's road loss to the Rockies.

Coors Field is a good place to go looking for your first big-league home run, but Asuaje has been a steady bat in general -- he's hitting a strong .315 over his first 73 at-bats this season. Still, his fantasy upside is quite modest even though he's getting consistent at-bats, as his lack of both power and speed makes him mostly an NL-only asset.

Moncada has been recalled from Triple-A Charlotte.

Moncada was hitting .285/.381/.452 with 12 home runs and 17 stolen bases at Triple-A. As Chicago's top prospect, and perhaps the top prospect in baseball, he should be a fixture in the everyday lineup for the rebuilding White Sox.

Segura went 2-for-5 with an RBI infield single, a double and a run in Monday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Astros, bringing his average to a majors-best .349.

It was another stellar all-around night for Segura, who also turned in a pair of defensive gems in the ninth when he single-handedly prevented Josh Reddick from scoring on two different occasions, preserving a 7-7 tie in the process. Segura's July tear includes a .411/.414/.571 line, six doubles, a homer and seven RBI, as well as a trio of four-hit efforts.

Arenado is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Arenado has been an ironman for the Rockies this season, as this marks just the third time this season he isn't in the starting lineup. Alexi Amarista will man the hot corner in his stead, but look for the elite infielder to return to the fray Wednesday.

Rivera was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday.

The infielder made just one appearance after being called up to the big leagues. With the Brewers in need of catching depth more than infield depth at the moment, Rivera will return to the minors. His positional versatility could help him find his way back to Milwaukee when the team's catching situation is sorted out once again.

Valencia went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer, a walk, two runs and two RBI in Monday's 10-inning win over Houston.

Valencia's 10th-inning long ball gave his team an insurance run after Kyle Seager had just put Seattle ahead with one of his own in the previous at-bat. Nelson Cruz went deep in this one as well, giving the trio eight home runs between them in the past three games. Valencia also hit an RBI double in the fourth inning.
