LeMahieu went 0-for-5 with a walk and two strikeouts Sunday in the Yankees' 6-5 loss to the Red Sox in 10 innings.

LeMahieu suffered through one of his worst games of the season, both at the plate and in the field. Though he wasn't officially charged with an error on the night, LeMahieu was unable to flag down a catchable shallow pop fly off the bat of Christian Arroyo in the eighth inning, which fell in for a base hit. Arroyo then came around to score the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly. LeMahieu had a chance to make amends with two outs in the bottom of the 10th, but he grounded out to second base to end the game. After the hitless outing, LeMahieu is now holding down a .656 OPS for the season, his worst showing in the category since 2014. He's also failed to record an extra-base hit since May 18, a stretch of 62 at-bats.

Muncy (ankle) was used as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning Sunday and flied out to right field in his only at-bat.

Muncy came on to hit for Trevor Bauer with a pair of runners on base and two outs in a two-run game but couldn't produce a clutch hit. He remains day-to-day for a return to playing the field and rejoining the starting lineup after mildly spraining his right ankle Friday. The Dodgers are off Monday, so Muncy's next chance to start will come Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

Hayes went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Marlins on Sunday.

He's 7-for-18 with a double, triple and homer in four games since returning from a wrist injury. Hayes missed two months with the injury and suffered a similar injury two years ago, according to Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic. Medical director Todd Tomczyk believes Hayes is past the wrist problems. "We did identify certain things that potentially could have led to the recurrent issue," Tomczyk said. "But based on that (the first injury) is two years removed and (Hayes) did have a full body of work last year, we're optimistic that this specific incur to his left wrist will not happen again."

Walls went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

Walls has been enduring some expected struggles in his first taste of big-league pitching, but he seems to be trending in the right direction of late and has recorded at least one knock in four of his last five games. Plus, this was his first multi-hit game since his big-league debut May 22. The shortstop is hitting .262 with a .737 OPS on the season.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Wisdom has been on some kind of roll since getting recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 25, as he now has seven home runs in just 13 games. To put that in perspective, the 29-year-old came into the year with just four career MLB home runs in 43 games. Wisdom will cool down at some point, but he's worth a look from fantasy managers while he's playing regularly and performing this well.

Arenado went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Reds.

Arenado did what he could to prevent the Cardinals from losing and delivered a strong game at the plate, and now he's recorded seven hits over his last eight at-bats. That's a strong bounce-back effort considering he entered the weekend on a woeful 1-for-22 stretch. Despite the slump, Arenado is hitting .287 with a .855 OPS on the season.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

Suarez has had a down season but is showing signs of a potential turnaround, as he has hit safely in four of his last five contests while racking up one double, one home run, four RBI and three runs scored in that span. That said, the third baseman is still hitting just .162 on the season and hasn't recorded a multi-hit game in 10 straight contests.

Davis continues to wear a splint on his sprained left hand and hasn't been cleared to resume swinging a bat, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Though he's now spent nearly five weeks on the injured list, Davis doesn't look particularly close to returning to the New York lineup. After having a minor-league rehab assignment put on pause in late May due to neck stiffness, Davis has since overcome that injury, only for the discomfort in his left hand to resurface. Until the discomfort subsides, Davis won't be able to take part in any baseball activities, making it difficult to gauge when he might ultimately return from the IL. At this point, fantasy managers should probably view late June as a best-case scenario for when he might rejoin the Mets.

Urias went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs and one strikeout in Sunday's 18-5 win over Cleveland.

Urias joined the starting lineup for the first time since he was called up Friday, and he blasted a solo homer in the eighth inning. He hasn't had consistent playing time this year but is now hitting .246 with two home runs, 10 RBI and 10 runs in 2021.

Reds manager David Bell said Sunday that he anticipates Senzel (knee) will return from the 10-day injured list in mid-July, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The Reds will wrap up their first-half schedule July 11, so the team is presumably hopeful that Senzel will be ready to go after the All-Star break. Senzel is just over a week removed from undergoing arthroscopic surgery to clean out cartilage in his left knee.
