Ramirez went 2-for-2 with two doubles, a pair of walks, an RBI and a run Monday in the Indians' 3-2 win over the Royals in 10 innings.

Ramirez pushed his season on-base percentage over .300 with the big day at the dish, but one quality performance shouldn't be taken as evidence that he's broken out of the slump he's been stuck in since the second half of 2018. Over 21 games in June, Ramirez is slashing a lowly .228/.284/.354 with only six extra-base hits (one home runs). His 4-for-4 success rate on stolen-base attempts has been the only salvation for fantasy managers during that stretch.

Devers returned to the lineup and went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 win over the White Sox.

Devers was hampered by a hamstring injury that forced him out of the starting lineup for all three games against the Blue Jays over the weekend, although he made two pinch-hit appearances. He was back at third base and batted fourth.

LeMahieu went 4-for-4 with two runs and a walk in the Yankees' 10-8 victory over the Blue Jays on Monday.

LeMahieu continued his red-hot hitting, reaching base in all five of his plate appearances and posting his first four-hit day in pinstripes, giving him seven knocks in his last eight at-bats. The torrid stretch has the veteran's slash line up to .331/.380/.495 to go along with 10 homers and 51 RBI through 293 at-bats.

Segura went 4-for-6 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's 13-7 win over the Mets.

He took Steven Matz deep in the first inning, the first of eight homers launched by the two teams in the wild contest. Segura has had a rough June, slashing .224/.272/.424 through 21 games even after Monday's eruption, but he has put together a modest six-game hitting streak.

Moncada went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 6-5 loss to Boston.

Moncada got the White Sox on the board early with his two-run blast in the second inning. The 24-year-old infielder's breakout season keeps getting better. His slash line is up to .299/.352/.522 with 13 homers and 42 RBI.

Vargas was a healthy scratch from Monday's lineup against the Dodgers, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks originally had Ketel Marte (groin) starting in center field in his first game back, but the team felt it would be better if Marte were at second base, prompting the lineup change. Tim Locastro is now starting in center field, with Marte at the keystone and Vargas available off the bench.

Vargas was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Dodgers.

It's unclear what prompted Vargas' removal from Monday's starting nine. Ketel Marte is covering second base in place of Vargas, while Tim Locastro entered the lineup in center field.

Devers (hamstring) is back in action as expected Monday against the White Sox, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Devers hadn't started since leaving Wednesday's game with hamstring tightness, though he did appear twice off the bench. He'll hit cleanup and play third base against Chicago.

Kieboom went 3-for-4 with three walks, a grand slam and a second run scored for Triple-A Fresno on Sunday.

The 21-year-old is now slashing .328/.463/.578 through 18 games in June with three homers and 18 RBI to go along with a strong 15:15 BB:K. Kieboom's path back to the majors is blocked at the moment thanks to Brian Dozier turning his season around, but the Nats' No. 1 fantasy prospect is once again showing that he has little left to learn in the minors.

Walls was promoted to Double-A Montgomery on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls was slashing .269/.339/.417 across 180 plate appearances with High-A Charlotte, a line that partly consists of 13 extra-base hits (seven doubles, two triples, four home runs) and 26 RBI. The 22-year-old shortstop is likely to spend the remainder of the season with the Biscuits, his fourth stop in the Rays organization since being selected in the first-year player draft back in 2017.
