Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Keeps collecting hits

Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Goes deep twice
Candelario went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 12-4 win over San Diego.
Candelario knocked a solo shot off of Sean Manaea in the fourth inning followed by a two-run homer against MacKenzie Gore in the fifth. He's gone deep four times over his last 11 appearances after snapping a 20-game homerless drought. The 28-year-old is slashing .203/.269/.352 with nine home runs and 30 runs scored on the year.

Kevin Newman 3B | LAA
Pirates' Kevin Newman: Takes seat Monday

Jonah Bride 3B | TEX
Athletics' Jonah Bride: Reinstated from injured list
Bride (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Bride spent nearly a month on the injured list due to his shoulder injury, but he'll rejoin the active roster after spending a week and a half in the minors on a rehab assignment. He hit .318 with a homer, a double, four runs and three RBI over seven rehab games and should see plenty of playing time at third base now that he's back to full health. However, he isn't starting Monday against the Astros.

Jean Segura 3B | CLE
Phillies' Jean Segura: Starting up rehab Tuesday
Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said Segura (finger) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Segura is coming along quicker than expected in his recovery from his early June surgery to repair a fractured right index finger, a procedure that was expected to keep him sidelined for 10-to-12 weeks. Though initial projections called for Segura to remain out until mid-August or early September, he now looks like he could be ready to go when first eligible to return from the 60-day injured list Aug. 2. The Phillies will wait and see how Segura looks during his rehab stint at Lehigh Valley over the next few days before re-evaluating his situation early next week.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Rays' Isaac Paredes: Not starting Monday
Paredes isn't in the lineup Monday against the Orioles, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Paredes went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Sunday's loss to the Rays and is out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Ji-Man Choi is starting at first base while Luke Raley serves as the designated hitter.
-
Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW
Reds' Mike Moustakas: Resting Monday
Moustakas is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Marlins.
Moustakas will take a seat after he went 1-for-3 with a walk and run scored in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Jonathan India will take over at designated hitter while Donovan Solano slots in at second base and bats sixth against Miami.
-
Jonah Bride 3B | TEX
Athletics' Jonah Bride: Plenty of rehab work during weekend
Bride (shoulder) went 3-for-12 with two walks and two runs in three games for Single-A Stockton against Fresno over the weekend.
Bride has now appeared in seven rehab games overall and played a full nine innings at third base in two of the three weekend contests with the Ports, seemingly indicating he'd be ready for activation. Given he's been eligible to come off the IL since earlier in July, it's certainly possible Bride is reinstated to the active roster ahead of Monday night's series opener against the Astros.

Gunnar Henderson SS | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Streaky in Triple-A
Henderson has hit .268/.386/.496 with six home runs, three steals and a 22:38 BB:K in 35 games since being promoted to Triple-A Norfolk.
He's been unable to sustain his tremendous plate-discipline numbers from Double-A, where Henderson put up a spectacular 41:38 BB:K through 47 games to open 2022. His strikeout rate has spiked by 6.5 percent (to 24.8) and his walk rate has dipped by 5.9 percent (to 14.8) since his promotion, but those are still acceptable figures for a 21-year-old on the doorstep of the majors. Henderson opened his time with Norfolk by putting up a 1.077 OPS with five home runs through his first 19 games, then went 4-for-33 with 15 strikeouts over his next nine games before recovering more recently, putting together a seven-game hitting streak that includes a homer Sunday -- his first since June 28. If he can get a little more consistent, a second-half call-up could very well be in the cards.
