Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk during Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.

The 30-year-old put Cleveland ahead 4-3 with two-run shot to center field during the eighth inning, though the lead didn't last for long. It's just the fifth homer of the season for Ramirez, whose .465 slugging percentage would be his lowest since 2016.

Angels manager Phil Nevin recently said he was encouraged by the results of the MRI that Rendon (groin) received May 17, per MLB.com.

Rendon was placed on the 10-day IL on May 15 with a left groin strain, with the move being retroactive to the previous day. Nevin was optimistic when discussing the third baseman earlier this week, suggesting that his MRI results were encouraging and indicating that the Angels "don't think it'll be very long at all" before he is able to return. Rendon was hitting well prior to the injury, slashing .380/.484/.480 with a home run, nine RBI, 11 runs, a stolen base and an 8:6 BB: K over his previous 14 contests.

Muncy was ejected from Sunday's game against the Cardinals for arguing balls and strikes, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The 32-year-old struck out in both his plate appearances and was ejected for arguing a called third strike during the fourth inning. Muncy should be back in the lineup Monday in Atlanta, while Chris Taylor replaced him at third base Sunday.

Urias is running the bases and testing his strained left hamstring with Baltimore head trainer Brian Ebel on Sunday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Depending on how Urias feels after running, the infielder could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week. The infielder has been on the shelf since May 9 with the strain, and he likely would need a handful of games -- if not more -- before having a chance to return next weekend. Assuming there are no setbacks, Urias could be back in the lineup for Baltimore by the end of May.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Peterson has a .693 OPS through 16 games in May and will take a seat Sunday with lefty Framber Valdez pitching for Houston. Nick Allen will start at shortstop with Aledmys Diaz covering the hot corner.

Paredes is not in the starting lineup Sunday against Milwaukee, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes will take a seat after he went 0-for-9 with an RBI and three strikeouts over the last three contests. Taylor Walls will draw the start at the hot corner and bat seventh in the series finale versus the Brewers.

Wisdom is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus Philadelphia.

Wisdom will get a day off after he's gone 1-for-11 with a double and eight strikeouts over the last three games. Miles Mastrobuoni will draw the start at the hot corner and bat eighth in the series finale with the Phillies.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

His fourth-inning solo shot off Alex Faedo got the Nationals on the board, and Candelario then wrapped up the scoring in the eighth with an RBI double. The switch-hitting third baseman is on fire right now, reeling off five multi-hit performances in the last six games with four doubles, a triple and two homers among his 12 hits. The surge has boosted Candelario's slash line on the season up to .253/.310/.447.

Farmer went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Farmer has logged multiple hits in four of his last six contests, and he's driven in at least one run in five of those games. The 32-year-old continues to hit well, with his latest strong game lifting his season slash line to .319/.377/.478 with three home runs, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored and two doubles through 77 plate appearances.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss against Tampa Bay.

Anderson took Rays starter Zach Eflin yard in the fourth inning to bring Willy Adames around to score and bring the Brewers to within one run of Tampa Bay. However, Milwaukee would allow five unanswered runs over the next three innings and eventually fell to the Rays 8-4. Through 43 games, Anderson owns a .236/.327/.426 slash line with seven home runs and 24 RBI. After not hitting a home run between April 24 and May 15, Anderson now has two over his past four games.
