  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Drives in three runs

    Segura went 1-for-4 with a three-run double in Monday's 8-6 win over Washington.

    Segura cleared the bases with a three-run double in the fourth inning to give the Phillies a 5-0 lead. He's collected 10 hits and eight RBI during his active six-game hitting streak.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Drives in three runs

    Riley went 2-for-5 with a three-run triple in Monday's 6-3 win over Boston.

    Riley slapped a three-run triple to give the Braves a 5-2 lead in the fifth inning. The 23-year-old is heating up, slashing .375/.419/.700 with three home runs and a palatable 23.3 percent strikeout rate over his last 40 at-bats.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Yankees' Gio Urshela: Pops sixth homer

    Urshela went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Rays.

    New York couldn't muster any offense at all off Tyler Glasnow, but once he exited the game Urshela kick-started a comeback attempt by leading off the seventh inning with his sixth homer of the year. The 28-year-old hasn't matched last year's breakout, but he's still supplying solid power numbers for the Yankees.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Slugs eighth homer

    Suarez went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Cardinals.

    The 29-year-old carried the Reds' offense as best he could, but his three-run blast in the ninth inning was too little, too late. Suarez has five homers and 12 RBI in his last 10 games, but on the year he's still hitting a woeful .185 with only eight home runs and 19 RBI through 34 contests.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Hits fifth homer

    Anderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

    Anderson entered Monday in a slump at the plate, striking out five times while failing to record a hit in his last 11 at-bats. Although he struck out twice more Monday, the third baseman belted a solo homer off Brad Brach to extend Miami's lead to 5-3 in the eighth inning. Anderson now has five long balls on the campaign and will look to improve upon a .222/.330/.424 slash line going forward.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Twins' Josh Donaldson: Very close to return

    Donaldson (calf) is expected to return form the injured list "really soon," per manager Rocco Baldelli, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Baldelli didn't offer a precise timeline for the third baseman's return from calf issues, but it doesn't appear that the veteran will miss much more time. He's reportedly doing quite well and took part in another simulated game at the Twins' alternate site Monday.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Not in Monday's lineup

    Moncada (upper leg) remains on the bench for Monday's game in Minnesota.

    Moncada left Saturday's game against the Royals after aggravating an upper-leg issue and did not take part in Sunday's contest. Manager Rick Renteria had indicated previously that Moncada could be back Monday, but he evidently needs at least one more day to rest. Danny Mendick will start at the hot corner in his absence.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: MLB debut set for Tuesday

    Hayes will make his big-league debut Tuesday at home against the Cubs, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    The Pirates will play Monday's road game in Milwaukee before making the move official. Hayes is one of the organization's top prospects and should be the everyday third baseman for the foreseeable future. He has solid plate skills and is a better runner than the average third baseman, but it is Hayes' Gold Glove-caliber defense that headlines his scouting report. It may be a year or two before he settles in as a quality big-league hitter, and the hope is that he can eventually tap into more over-the-fence power than he has shown in the minors.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Stuck in offensive rut

    Anderson went 0-for-2 with a walk Sunday in the Marlins' 12-7 loss to the Rays.

    The Marlins are riding a four-game losing streak heading into Monday's make-up game against the Mets, so it comes as little surprise that one of the key bats in their lineup in Anderson has slumped during that stretch. He's gone 0-for-11 with five strikeouts in the four games, dropping his season-long average to .221. Manager Don Mattingly seems content to let Anderson work through his August swoon, as the third baseman will be back in the lineup as the Marlins' cleanup hitter Monday while Miami takes aim at Mets ace Jacob deGrom, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Sitting due to hip issue

    Davis (hip) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    The Mets and Marlins are both facing quick turnarounds with Monday's starting at 1:10 p.m. ET, so it's not a major surprise that Davis will be on the bench after exiting the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees when he was struck on the left hip by a pitch. Luis Guillorme will cover third base while Davis rests up.
