  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Diamondbacks' Jean Segura: Collects two hits, three RBI on Monday

    Segura went 2-for-5 with a double, triple and three RBI in Monday's win over the Yankees.

    Segura had gone 0-for-9 over his last two games, but he broke out of his mini-slump on Monday. The sample size is getting large enough to suggest that Segura could be returning to his 2013 All-Star form. He doesn't take a ton of walks (just four so far this season), but he's finding a way to get on base at a .360 clip. Segura is also driving the ball to the tune of a .512 slugging percentage, which would easily be a new career best (he slugged .423 in 2013).

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Hits eighth homer in loss

    Suarez went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 15-6 loss to the Indians.

    Suarez has now homered in back-to-back games and has shaken off a recent slump at the plate by collecting five hits in his last 11 at-bats. With eight homers already this season, Suarez is well on his way to surpass his 2015 total of 13 home runs.

  • Matt Reynolds 3B | CIN

    Mets' Matt Reynolds: Expected to be called up Tuesday

    Reynolds is expected to be called up prior to Tuesday's series opener against the Nationals, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

    Reynolds hasn't put up overwhelming numbers with Triple-A Las Vegas, but the Mets don't have much infield depth after placing Wilmer Flores (hamstring) on the disabled list, so he seems primed to make his first appearance in the big leagues. The Mets will likely send a reliever to Triple-A to make room for Reynolds on the roster, but it's currently unknown who specifically will be demoted. Reynolds was selected over Ty Kelly and T.J. Rivera largely because he is already on the 40-man roster.

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Blasts seventh homer Sunday

    Suarez went 3-for-6 with a three-run homer Sunday at Philadelphia.

    Suarez's seventh bomb of the season moved the Reds out to a seven-run lead in a game they'd win easily. He came into this game mired in a 2-for-22 slump, but three hits raised his batting average 12 points to .250.

  • Matt Duffy 3B | TEX

    Giants' Matt Duffy: Dealing with hamstring tightness

    Duffy was held out of Sunday's lineup due to a tight hamstring, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    What was originally thought to be a routine day off turned out to be injury-related, as Duffy will relinquish his regular third base duties in hopes of giving the hamstring the rest it needs. With a team day off scheduled for Monday, the timing seemed right for getting Duffy a bit of a break. Consider him day-to-day for the time being.

    Giants' Matt Duffy: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Duffy is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

    Chalk this up as a routine day of rest for Duffy, who will be held out of the lineup for the first time since May 4. Conor Gillaspie will take over at the hot corner for the afternoon contest.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Nationals' Anthony Rendon: Tallies two hits, walk in Saturday victory

    Rendon went 2-for-4 with an RBI, run scored and a walk in the first game of a Saturday day-night doubleheader versus the Marlins.

    The 25-year-old stepped up with his third multi-hit effort in the last four games. His bat has been in a deep slumber during May, as he's only slashed .188/.291/.375 for the month despite Saturday's effort.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Rockies' DJ LeMahieu: Collects two hits Saturday

    LeMahieu went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run and two RBI Saturday against the Mets.

    LeMahieu singled in a run in the second inning and gave the Rockies a lead they'd never relinquish. He's now recorded multiple hits in six of his last 12 games to raise his batting average to .304.

  • Cody Asche 3B | NYM

    Phillies' Cody Asche: Hitless in first rehab game

    Asche went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in his first rehab appearance with High-A Clearwater on Friday.

    Asche will likely stay with Clearwater through the weekend and then move up to Triple-A next week to continue getting at-bats. GM Matt Klentak said Asche will be activated as soon as he is ready to contribute. He will likely have at least a part-time role in left field after he rejoins the Phillies.

  • Cody Asche 3B | NYM

    Phillies' Cody Asche: Slated to begin rehab assignment Friday

    Asche (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Clearwater on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the News Journal reports.

    Asche has been out with this oblique injury since the beginning of spring training, but he seems to be progressing well through his rehab process. Barring a setback, the 25-year-old could return to the Phillies within the next couple weeks.
