Bregman went 2-for-4 with a run scored and one RBI in the 4-3 loss to Seattle on Sunday.

Bregman slapped an RBI single and later scored during Houston's eight inning rally. The 24-year-old is riding a short seven-game hitting streak, raising his season average to .280, just shy of his .284 mark last season. With 22 homers and 73 RBI, Bregman has established himself as a strong fantasy infielder.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Twins.

The team batted Candelario first in this one in an effort to get the 24-year-old going, as he came into the day batting just .184 over his last 30 games. Based on the two-hit performance, expect Candelario to get more run from the leadoff spot moving forward.

Chapman went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Angels on Saturday.

Chapman's streak of reaching safely has now reached 19 games, a stretch during which he's boosted his season average 27 points to .274. The 25-year-old has racked up 45 extra-base hits (23 doubles, six triples, 16 home runs) over 101 games this season, leading to an impressive .500 slugging percentage.

Ramirez is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

Ramirez hasn't gotten a day off since early May, so he'll get some time to rest during Sunday's series finale. He continues to scorch the league with across-the-board production, producing an 1.117 OPS with five stolen bases over the past 14 games. Erik Gonzalez will log a start at the hot corner in his stead.

Robinson was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Robinson played sparingly during his most recent cup of coffee with Texas, but he manager to go 2-for-6 with a double and five runs scored with the chances he did get. He'll head back to the minors to make room for Delino DeShields to return from the disabled list, though his positional versatility makes him an obvious callup whenever another Ranger position player gets injured in the future.

Candelario is hitting leadoff Sunday against the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Candelario is normally a staple of the second spot in the order for Detroit, but it appears the team is trying to mix things up to get the offense going. The young third baseman is hitting just .184 over the past 30 games, but his strong 10.3 percent walk rate makes him a decent option atop the batting order. This could help him rack up a few more runs if he can maintain this spot in the batting order, potentially at the expense of RBI production, though.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday during the Indians' 3-1 victory over the White Sox.

Ramirez went nearly a week between homers, and he rectified that disappointment with his 34th blast. It's his latest conquest in an eye-popping 2018 in which he's slashing .298/.409/.624 to accompany 84 RBI, 79 runs scored and 27 stolen bases across 508 plate appearances. He continues to plow forward in an MVP-quality campaign.

Moncada went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Indians on Saturday.

Occupying the eight spot in the Pale Hose order, Moncada took a Trevor Bauer offering over the right-field fence for his 15th big fly of the season. The 23-year-old's power-speed mix still plays in plenty of fantasy games, but his .220/.303/.400 line has quelled optimism over his 15-homer, 11-steal season.

Segura is in the Saturday's lineup against the Astros despite getting hit in the hand in Friday's contest, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Segura had X-rays following the game, which were negative. He will not wind up missing any time.

Devers is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Devers will head to the bench after going 0-for-5 with a walk and one RBI during Friday's victory. In his place, Eduardo Nunez will man third base and bat seventh. Look for Devers to rejoin the starting lineup in Game 2.
