  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Gets rest Sunday

    Devers is not in the starting lineup Sunday against Toronto, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Devers will get a well-deserved breather for at least the beginning portion of the series finale. Bobby Dalbec will shift to the hot corner with Danny Santana set to man first base Sunday.

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Reds transferred Senzel (knee) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

    Senzel's last appearance for the Reds came May 17. He underwent surgery on his left knee a week and a half later, prompting the club to target the All-Star break for his return to action. His move to the 60-day IL ensures he won't be available for the first couple of games after the break, but Senzel's timeline to return shouldn't be dramatically altered by the transaction. Aristides Aquino (wrist) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move, and he'll likely serve as a reserve outfielder behind everyday starters Jesse Winker, Nick Castellanos and Tyler Naquin.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Cranks 12th homer

    Arenado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Cubs.

    Arenado homered off Kyle Hendricks in the second inning to give the Cardinals a brief 1-0 lead. The 30-year-old is having a great first year with St. Louis, leading the Cardinals with 44 RBI, which is second-best in the National League. He has eight RBI in his last five games and he's slashing .286/.335/.522 in 266 plate appearances.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Breaks homer drought

    LeMahieu went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer and double in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Phillies.

    LeMahieu pulled the Yankees into a 7-7 tie with a three-run homer off Hector Neris in the ninth inning. The clutch long ball broke a 29-game drought without a homer for the infielder, which dated back to May 7. He'll look to build off his big day at the plate as he seeks to improve on a .257/.332/.340 slash line going forward.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Snaps homer drought in win

    Rendon went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and four RBI on Saturday in an 8-7 win against Arizona.

    Rendon put the Angels on the board in the fourth inning, slugging a solo homer to left field. He plated another two runs with a double in the following frame and tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. The third baseman snapped a 27-game, 102-at-bat stretch without a home run, the second-longest power drought of his career. He is slashing .241/.317/.370 with four homers and 30 RBI on the season.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Delivers another walk-off knock

    Segura went 3-for-6 with two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Yankees.

    Segura extended the Phillies' lead to 5-2 with an RBI single off Nestor Cortes in the fourth inning. After the bullpen stumbled to allow the Yankees to force extra innings, Segura was able to deliver his second walk-off hit in the past three games with a run-scoring infield single in the 10th inning. Segura has enjoyed a resurgent campaign through 46 games played this season, posting a .329/.381/.457 slash line across 189 plate appearances.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Plates one, scores one

    Devers went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Blue Jays. He was also caught stealing a base.

    Devers was directly involved in the team's two runs. The third baseman now has 49 RBI on the season but was caught off guard on the basepaths a couple times, getting caught while stealing once and getting picked off once as well. The fifth-year third baseman currently ranks second in the American League in RBI, only behind Vladimir Guerrero, who has 52.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Lands on injured list

    Muncy has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Muncy exited Friday's game with side tightness, and manager Dave Roberts said earlier Saturday that the infielder was going through tests to determine if he would have to go on the injured list. The severity of the strain isn't known at this point, but given that oblique injuries often lead to multi-week absences, Muncy seems in danger of missing the rest of June. He'll become eligible to be reinstated June 21. The Dodgers will likely provide further update later Saturday. Luke Raley was recalled in a corresponding roster move.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Comes close to cycle

    Chapman went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three total RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's win over the Royals.

    Chapman was a key offensive piece for the Athletics on Saturday, blasting his sixth homer of the season in the sixth inning and also ripping his ninth double of the campaign. The star third baseman has hit safely in four of Oakland's last six games and has posted back-to-back multi-hit games. He's hitting .305 across 36 at-bats this month.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Reds' Mike Moustakas: Could return during road trip

    Moustakas (heel) has a good chance to return during the Reds' upcoming road trip, which runs from June 14-22, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Moustakas has already missed nearly a month with a bruised right heel. He ran the bases and took grounders Friday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, at which point his exact return date should become more clear.
