Chapman went 3-for-3 with two triples, a walk, three runs scored and one RBI in the 7-6 win over Texas on Thursday.

Chapman drilled three triples during the month of April but hadn't hit another one up until Thursday's contest. The 25-year-old is hitting .319 (23-for-72) in July, giving him a .266 average in 2018. In his second big league season, Chapman has 12 homers and 35 RBI, just behind his 2017 totals of 14 long balls and 40 RBI.

Segura went 1-for-3 with a go-ahead RBI single in a win over the Giants on Wednesday.

Segura's hit to center in the eighth plated Guillermo Heredia to snap a 2-2 tie, giving the Mariners a one-run lead that would ultimately prove to be enough. The 28-year-old has cooled off in July after a torrid first three months-plus of the season, but he's still hit safely in eight straight games. However, all of those have been one-hit efforts, leading to a pedestrian .246 average and .274 on-base percentage for the month.

Candelario went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Royals.

Candelario batted leadoff in this one with Leonys Martin getting a day off and he performed well. The 24-year-old has cooled off after a strong start to the year, as he's batting just .184 since the beginning of June, but he still figures prominently into the future plans for the rebuilding Tigers, so Candelario should continue to receive regular playing time over the rest of this season.

Duffy is 1-for-12 with an RBI over the three games he's played since missing two contests against the Marlins last week with back spasms.

It's unknown if the issue is still affecting him to a degree, as offensive struggles have been a rarity for Duffy in what has been a stellar season. Despite the downturn over the last three games and a rather ordinary July overall (.254 average across 72 plate appearances), Duffy's .309 average and .363 on-base percentage on the season both qualify as career bests.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a home run and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

Moncada's solo blast in the seventh inning provided an important insurance run to put Chicago ahead by three in a game it would go on to win, 4-2. The 23-year-old is just 3-for-19 since returning from the All-Star break, but he's been having a solid July overall. In 68 at-bats in the month, he's slashing .279/.388/.515 with three homers, three doubles and a pair of triples.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Bregman got the scoring started early, putting the Astros on the board just two batters into the game with a two-run shot in the top of the first. The 24-year-old has already topped last year's output with 21 home runs and now sits just three RBI away from matching the 71 he totaled last season.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

Moustakas got the scoring started early in this one, cranking his 20th home run of the season in the first inning. He's hitting just .169 over 59 at-bats in July to drop his average on the season down to .247, but the 29-year-old remains on track to top 30 homers for the second consecutive year.

Chapman went 3-for-5 with four RBI from a run-scoring single and a three-run home run while scoring twice overall in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

Chapman sent a 396-foot shot into the left-field bleachers in the seventh, bringing home Khris Davis and Stephen Piscotty to extend the Athletics' lead to 11-2 at the time. It was the 25-year-old's third straight multi-hit effort, and fourth overall in the last five games. Chapman also doubled up his July RBI total to eight with Monday's performance -- his first game driving in multiple runs since May 17.

Escobar went 2-for-3 with a triple, two RBI and a walk in Monday's 8-3 win over Toronto.

Escobar tripled home a run in the first inning, and he brought in a run on a single to left field in the fourth. The 29-year-old has gone 5-for-13 with two extra-base hits and three RBI in four games since the beginning of the second half.

Moustakas is not in the lineup against the Tigers on Monday, Maria Torres of the Kansas City Star reports.

Moustakas will head to the bench after going 1-for-9 with two runs scored during a three-game set versus Minnesota this past weekend. Hunter Dozier will make an appearance at the hot corner while Salvador Perez gets a start at first base for the series opener against southpaw Francisco Liriano.
