LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and a walk in Monday's 8-6 loss to Minnesota.

With his 15th blast of the season, LeMahieu has tied the career-high he set with Colorado last season. However, his homers in 2019 have come in 154 fewer at-bats. His .338 average puts him in the thick of the MLB batting title race, a feat he's already earned once in his career.

Senzel (hamstring) is back in action Monday against the Brewers.

Senzel has been out of the lineup for three straight games but appeared off the bench in both games over the weekend. He'll return to center field and bat leadoff Monday.

General manager Erik Neander said Duffy (hamstring) would be activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

On the shelf all season while enduring multiple setbacks in his recovery from a left hamstring injury, Duffy finally reached the finish line in his recovery after wrapping up a seven-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham his weekend. During his time with the affiliate, Duffy went 9-for-27 with two extra-base hits and nine RBI while seeing action at both third base and shortstop. Neander noted that Duffy will be deployed primarily at third base in his first few contests back with the Rays, but the general manager ultimately envisions the 28-year-old seeing action at all four infield spots. One of the Rays' two utility men -- Joey Wendle and Mike Brosseau -- will likely lose his spot on the active roster once Duffy is reinstated.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's victory over Washington.

Donaldson swatted a 432-foot home run to left field in the sixth inning, then singled in another run in the seventh. The impressive outing continued Donaldson's productive July in which he has compiled a 1.221 OPS along with eight homers and 18 runs batted in. After a pair of injury-plagued seasons, the 33-year-old has enjoyed a resurgent 2019, slashing .256/.374/.521 with 23 homers and 58 RBI in 340 at-bats.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-4 loss against the Rockies on Sunday.

The 31-year-old's incredible season continued Sunday, as he hit his 14th homer. He's now just one shy of his career-high 15 home runs from last year, and LeMahieu is on an eight-game hitting streak. He is batting .333 with 14 home runs, 68 RBI, 71 runs and four steals in 375 at-bats this season.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk during Sunday's 9-0 win over the Marlins.

Muncy gave his club an early lead with a two-run home run to left center in the first inning. He later walked and scored a run, giving him his fourth multi-run effort in the last six games. Muncy also has three home runs to go along with six RBI during that span. The Dodgers head into their next series at home against the Angels.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over Kansas City.

Ramirez delivered a solo homer in the sixth inning to give his club a 3-2 lead, and the Indians wouldn't look back. The 26-year-old third baseman has collected a base knock in nine of his last 10 contests, going 14-for-41 with three home runs and 11 RBI over that stretch.

Segura was removed from Sunday's contest against the Pirates with heel soreness, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

The injury was likely an aggravation of the heel injury Segura suffered July 15. He was forced to miss two games prior to returning for the team's series finale Thursday against the Dodgers. Scott Kingery shifted to shortstop to replace Segura while Nick Williams entered the game to play left field.

Riley is not in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

Riley has now been relegated to the bench in two of the team's last four games thanks to the return of Ender Inciarte. However, Riley hasn't helped his cause by hitting just .170/.224/.302 across 58 plate appearances in July. Inciarte is starting in Riley's place, manning center field and batting eighth.

Chapman (ankle) went 0-for-4 with a walk in a win over the Twins on Saturday.

Chapman returned to the starting lineup after only appearing as a defensive replacement in Friday night's contest. The slugging third baseman had a quiet night at the plate, but of overriding importance was the fact he played the full game in the field without any setbacks to his previously sore ankle.
