Devers went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Athletics.

There wasn't much offense in this game, as Devers and Alex Verdugo were the only batters to record extra-base hits. Devers doubled off Deolis Guerra in the ninth inning, threatening to extend the lead. The 24-year-old leads the Red Sox in home runs (20) and RBI (68). He is slashing .285/.354/.570 in 305 plate appearances. He has reached base safely 11 times in his current six-game hitting streak.

Henderson is hitting just .032/.295/.032 across 44 plate appearances since his promotion to High-A Aberdeen.

The highly regarded young shortstop got off to a tremendous start in Low-A, putting up a .312/.369/.574 batting line, but the next level up has presented a far greater challenge, as Henderson has picked up just a single hit since his promotion while striking out in 38.6 percent of his plate appearances. On the bright side, he's also drawn a dozen walks in that time -- almost as many as he'd managed in 157 plate appearances in Low-A. There's plenty to dream on with Henderson, but this speed bump means he's not likely to race through the minor-league ranks.

Rendon (hamstring) may be unavailable Monday but isn't believed to be dealing with a serious injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon exited Sunday's win over the Orioles in the top of the sixth inning due to left hamstring tightness, but manager Joe Maddon sounded optimistic about the third baseman's status after the game. Jose Rojas or Phil Gosselin could see time at the hot corner if the 31-year-old misses any additional time, but he's considered day-to-day for now.

Rendon left Sunday's game against the Orioles due to left hamstring tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon was removed from Sunday's game midway through the sixth inning, and he's apparently dealing with a hamstring issue. The third baseman will presumably undergo further examinations following Sunday's game, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Candelario went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-5 win over the White Sox.

Sunday was the third baseman's first three-hit effort since May 28. Candelario singled and scored in the second inning. He also hit an RBI double and came around to score again in the fifth. The 27-year-old had a hot stretch in May, but he's since leveled off with a .265/.347/.369 slash line, four home runs, 23 RBI, 33 runs scored and 17 doubles through 314 plate appearances this year.

Rendon exited Sunday's game against the Orioles in the sixth inning for an unspecified reason, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk to begin Sunday's game, but he was replaced defensively during the top of the sixth inning. It's not yet clear whether his departure was due to an injury, but the Angels could update his status following Sunday's matchup.

Chapman went 3-for-6 with a run in an extra-innings win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

All the knocks were singles, but they served to extend his impressive on-base streak to 20 games. Chapman has four doubles, a triple, six home runs and 18 RBI over that stretch, leading to a .304/.378/.608 slash line across 90 plate appearances.

Moncada took batting practice Sunday and could return for Monday's series opener in Minnesota, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old is not playing Sunday and has been out since Thursday, when he was removed from the game with a bruised right hand. Jake Burger is starting at third base Sunday and figures to do so Monday if Moncada is ultimately unable to play.

Ramirez (elbow) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

The team has provided no further update regarding Ramirez and his left elbow, so he should still be considered day-to-day at this time. Until Ramirez is good to go, Ernie Clement figures to continue starting at third base for Cleveland, which doesn't have a day off until the All-Star break.

Donaldson (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Right hamstring tightness will sideline Donaldson for the series finale after he exited Saturday's contest with the injury. The Twins have provided no further updates on the third baseman's condition, so he should still be considered day-to-day. Luis Arraez is starting at third base and batting leadoff Sunday.
