  • Nick Madrigal 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Nick Madrigal: Comes out hitting off IL

    Madrigal went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Royals.

    Madrigal is on fire coming off the injured list with a shoulder injury, having gone 5-for-8 with two RBI, two runs and a stolen base across the two games since being activated. While the steal was just his first, Madrigal was a threat in 2019 when he stole 35 bases at three different minor-league stops.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Three hits in loss

    Segura went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a run scored in Sunday's 12-10 loss to Atlanta.

    Segura got aboard with a single in the third inning and came around to score on a Didi Gregorius triple. In the fourth, Segura's single plated Rhys Hoskins. The 30-year-old Segura is batting .256/.337/.411 with four homers, nine RBI, 14 runs scored and a stolen base through 25 games.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Key factor in early rally

    Riley went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and an RBI double in Sunday's 12-10 win over the Phillies.

    Riley was a major factor in the Braves' 10-run second inning. He opened the scoring by plating Adam Duvall with a double and then scored the second run when Dansby Swanson drew a bases-loaded walk. Riley capped off the rally with a two-run blast. The third baseman is slashing .232/.282/.453 with six homers, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored through 28 games.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Blasts pair of homers

    Devers went 4-for-4 with two home runs, two singles, three RBI, three runs scored and one walk in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Nationals.

    Devers extended Boston's lead to 5-0 with his two-run shot off Austin Voth in the second. He ended up reaching base in each of his five plate appearances, capping his day with another long ball in the eighth inning. The third baseman's big day at the plate has him up to six homers and a .240/.290/.457 slash line on the campaign.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Exits with hip issue

    Davis left Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees with a left hip issue, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Davis took a fastball to the left hip Saturday, and the issue was apparently still bothering him Sunday as he left the twin bill early. However, he isn't expected to be hindered by the injury going forward.

  • Diamondbacks' Eduardo Escobar: Pops fourth homer

    Escobar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Giants.

    Escobar took Giants starter Johnny Cueto deep in the seventh inning for the Diamondbacks' only run in the game. The 31-year-old Escobar is slashing .200/.292/.350 with four homers, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base through 34 games this season. He showed some signs of life at the plate against the Giants, going 3-for-9 with a homer, a triple and a pair of walks in the three-game series.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Leaves Game 2 with injury

    Davis exited the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees with an apparent injury, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

    Davis grounded into a double play to end the sixth inning, and he subsequently left the game with a trainer. The nature and severity of the issue aren't yet known.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Yankees' Gio Urshela: Returns as expected for Game 2

    Urshela (elbow) is starting at third base and batting fifth in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.

    Urshela didn't start Game 1 but came off the bench and went 1-for-3 with a walkoff RBI single. The fact he's still starting the nightcap after seeing significant time during the matinee bodes well for his status going forward.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Likely to return Monday

    Manager Rick Renteria suggested that Moncada (upper leg) may return to the lineup in Monday's series opener versus the Twins, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Moncada was out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, though Renteria indicated that the 25-year-old would be available off the bench. In any case, the left leg injury that Moncada aggravated Saturday doesn't look to be a major concern, though fantasy managers may still want to confirm that he's in the lineup Monday before deploying him in weekly leagues.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Slugs home run Sunday

    Candelario went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Twins.

    Candelario took Kenta Maeda deep in the fourth inning for his fourth home run of the season. The Detroit first baseman is 8-for-17 with two home runs across his last five games and now has an .866 OPS this year, making his slow start to the 2020 campaign look like a distant memory.
