Muncy is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Muncy started the past five games since being activated from the injured list Tuesday, and he'll receive the day off after going 4-for-17 with a homer, three doubles, three RBI and four runs. Matt Beaty work work at first base in the series finale.

Davis (hand) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The 28-year-old was shifted to the 60-day injured list Friday, but the move won't affect his return timeline since he'll be eligible to be activated July 1. Davis figures to require at least a handful of games in the minors to get up to speed given that he's been sidelined since early May.

Escobar is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

Escobar is 8-for-14 with two homers, a double and seven RBI over his past five games, and he'll head to the bench against San Diego starter Yu Darvish. Asdrubal Cabrera will start at the hot corner in his place.

Machado is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Machado started the last 18 games and will receive a breather Sunday ahead of Monday's scheduled off day. He hit well during that stretch with a 1.015 OPS, five homers, four doubles, 16 RBI and two stolen bases. Ha-Seong Kim (finger) will cover the hot corner in his absence.

McMahon is not in the lineup Sunday against the Brewers, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

McMahon is 2-for-20 with 15 strikeouts over his past seven games and will take a seat for the series finale in Milwaukee. Joshua Fuentes will start at the hot corner against Brewers southpaw Eric Lauer.

Urias was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk prior to Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Urias' call-up comes in the midst of a flurry of roster moves for Baltimore that included shortstop Freddy Galvis (quad) landing on the 10-day IL. Urias is playing shortstop and batting eighth Sunday and could be in line to serve as the primary option at the position with Galvis on the shelf.

Moustakas (heel) is still dealing with pain from his injured heel, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The Reds are hopeful that Moustakas can begin a rehab assignment around the All-Star break. "I think they're just really difficult injuries to get over," manager David Bell said. "I know they're painful, too. (Moustakas) doesn't talk about it, but other people do. I know it's a tough injury to have."

Chapman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in a 6-5 loss against San Francisco on Saturday.

Chapman took reliever Zack Littell deep to left in the seventh and recorded an RBI sacrifice fly in the 10th to account for Oakland's final three runs. The homer made it 14 straight games with a hit for the third baseman, though he has just a single hit in each of the last 12 games. During the stretch, Chapman is 18-for-56 and has increased his average from .201 to .226.

Escobar went 4-for-5 with a home run, double, run and five RBI in a 10-1 triumph against San Diego on Saturday.

Escobar did it all to help Arizona end its 24-game road losing streak, doubling home a run in the first, smashing a two-run homer in the third and singling in the fifth and sixth. It was his first four-hit game and only his second with more than two all season, as the infielder is now slashing .254/.300/.484 with 17 home runs and 51 RBI.

LeMahieu went 4-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Red Sox.

LeMahieu slammed a solo home run off Nathan Eovaldi in the eighth inning to get the Yankees on the board. In addition, he added three singles in the game and accounted for both of New York's RBI. The 32-year-old is riding a nine-game hitting streak and he has reached base safely in his last 14 games. Despite the recent success, he is slashing .271/.345/.377, his lowest line since 2014. However, he still leads the Yankees with 79 hits.
