  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Churns out another multi-hit game

    Bohm went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored Sunday in the Phillies' 8-6 win over the Padres.

    Recently elevated into the cleanup spot, Bohm has stayed on a heater at the plate to give the Phillies little reason to think about moving him down in the order. He's now turned in multi-hit efforts in eight of his last 10 games, batting .548 during that stretch to lift his season-long average up to .365, trailing only Mookie Betts (.387) and Will Smith (.367) for tops among qualified hitters.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: Smacks leadoff home run

    Rojas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Rojas slid into the leadoff spot after J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the IL before the weekend. He responded with home runs Friday and Sunday with Sunday's being his very first at-bat of the game off Brandon Pfaadt. Since April 15, Rojas has at least a hit in 10 of 11 games and is off to a productive first month of the season. He's slashing .297/.366/.516 with three homers, six RBI, 10 runs and a 7:12 BB:K in 71 plate appearances.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Athletics' J.D. Davis: Plays in rehab game Sunday

    Davis (thigh/groin) started at designated hitter for Triple-A Las Vegas against Sacramento on Sunday and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run.

    Davis was given the green light to suit up Sunday after partaking in baseball activities with the Aviators on Saturday. Having apparently gotten through Sunday's contest without any issues, Davis is now slated to rejoin Oakland on Monday, when a decision on whether he'll need more rehab games or if he's ready for activation will be made.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Blasts two homers with Durham

    Caminero went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs and three RBI on Sunday with Triple-A Durham.

    Caminero was sidelined for two weeks early in the season with a quad injury. In nine games since, he's gone 11-for-36 with seven extra-base hits while striking out at a 23.1 percent clip. The Rays have had a mediocre lineup, and Jonathan Aranda (finger) is nearing a return, but Caminero should still make his way to Tampa Bay at some point in the current campaign.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Shaking off cold stretch

    Bregman went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Sunday against Colorado.

    Bregman has an ugly .216 average in 108 plate appearances to start the season. He's shown small signs of turning things around at the plate, as he has at least one hit in three of his last four games. More concerning is that Bregman has just a .052 ISO to go along with two barrels in 81 batted-ball events.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Goes deep Sunday

    Urias went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Athletics.

    Urias started two of the Orioles' three games against the A's, as playing time has opened up in the infield following Jackson Holliday's demotion to Triple-A Norfolk. The homer was Urias' first of the season, though that's in part due to his limited usage for much of the season. The utility infielder is slashing .186/.205/.279 with three RBI, five runs scored and a double over 44 plate appearances on the year. Urias, Jordan Westburg (illness) and Jorge Mateo will likely combine to cover second base and third base moving forward.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Launches walk-off homer

    Vientos went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 4-2 extra-innings win over the Cardinals.

    Vientos entered the contest as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth, notching a single. He came back to the plate in the 11th, when he plated Harrison Bader on a game-winning two-run home run. While Vientos was called up to fill the hole left by Starling Marte's (personal) absence, he could earn a permanent big-league spot if he continues to rake.

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Nationals' Nick Senzel: Launches two more dingers

    Senzel went 2-for-6 with two home runs and five RBI during Sunday's 12-9 win over the Marlins.

    Senzel's two home runs came in consecutive innings, with the two-run homer in the fourth cutting the lead to two, then the three-run blast in the fifth giving the Nationals a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The third baseman got off to a late start with the Nationals after fracturing his thumb prior to Opening Day but has found his groove over the last six games, as each of his five hits during that stretch have cleared the outfield fence. The power is legit for Senzel, who was never quite able to put things together during his five seasons in Cincinnati but has been thriving in his first season with Washington.

  • Jose Miranda 3B | MIN

    Twins' Jose Miranda: Doubles twice in win

    Miranda went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Sunday's victory over the Angels.

    Miranda opened the game's scoring with an RBI single in the fourth inning. He later drove in Minnesota's 11th and final run of the game with an RBI double in the eighth. Miranda has collected multiple hits in three straight games, going 7-for-13 (.538) with four extra-base hits in the process. His slash line is up to .292/.320/.500 through 16 games.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Launches homer in loss

    Paredes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox.

    Paredes took Erick Fedde deep for a solo shot in the top of the fourth, giving Tampa Bay an early 1-0 lead. He later singled and came around to score in the top of the ninth on a double from Harold Ramirez. The homer was the 25-year-old's seventh of the season and second in his last five games. Since April 14, Paredes has batted .314 with three home runs, seven RBI and seven runs scored over 51 at-bats in 13 games.
