Duffy (hamstring) took ground balls Sunday, and manager Kevin Cash reported the session went well, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Duffy had a productive weekend, as he'd also ran at 80 percent intensity Saturday. The oft-injured infielder clearly emerged from that activity without setbacks, considering he was able to return to the field for Sunday's workout without limitations. Cash mentioned the team will continue to be cautious with Duffy's game action, but he confirmed the 28-year-old will try running at 90 percent Monday as the next step in his rehab.

Muncy (forearm) took part in a full round of batting practice Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Muncy has missed the last four games due to the forearm soreness but doesn't appear too far away from a return to game action. The 28-year-old also took part in some defensive work this weekend but remains without an official timeline for his return.

Muncy (forearm) is not in the lineup for Sunday's Cactus League game against the Brewers, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

Muncy is still nursing a sore forearm and will miss a fourth straight game as a result. The infielder was able to field grounders over the weekend, though he remains without a timetable for his return.

Alvarez went 2-for-2 with two home runs, three runs scored and five RBI in Saturday's spring game against the Mets.

Alvarez had only two extra-base hits this spring prior to Saturday, but was able to go deep twice after entering the game as a pinch runner. The 32-year-old joined the Marlins on a minor-league deal in December and is fighting for a place on the Opening Day roster.

Muncy (forearm) is out of the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Muncy will be sidelined for the third straight day while he continues to recover from a sore forearm. The corner infielder was at least able to field grounders Friday, but until he's able to throw without any discomfort, he could be limited to designated-hitter duties in any spring games he might play.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins.

He took Wei-Yin Chen deep in the third inning for his first home run of the spring. Donaldson has been brought along slowly in camp on the heels of a rough season that was ruined by injuries, but if the 33-year-old stays reasonably healthy, he could still make an impact -- he hit .270 with 33 home runs in 113 games as recently as 2017.

Duffy (hamstring) said he ran on the field at approximately 80 percent speed Saturday and felt good during the workout, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Unless Duffy reports renewed discomfort with his hamstring, he'll take live batting practice and field some grounders Sunday before resuming running at around 90 percent Monday. The 28-year-old appears to be trending toward a return to the Grapefruit League lineup at some point next week, which would keep hope alive for him to avoid a stint on the injured list to begin the season.

Moncada went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's spring game against the Cubs.

Moncada plated three runs in the third inning on a deep fly to left field, notching his second home run this spring. He appears locked in at the plate, as he's gone 11-for-29 with seven RBI and eight runs scored in camp.

Rendon went 4-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored Friday against the Mets.

Rendon clubbed a two-run homer in the second inning and slugged a solo blast to left in the fourth. The 28-year-old third baseman has had a rough start to spring training, although Friday's performance could be just what he needs to get back on track. Rendon is now 7-for-27 with three homers, four RBI and five runs scored in camp.

Muncy (forearm) is not listed on the roster for Friday's spring game against the Reds, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Muncy was scratched from Thursday's lineup due to forearm irritation so it's unsurprising to see him out of the lineup only a day later. The Dodgers said the 28-year-old is considered day-to-day, so hopefully he'll only need a couple days to rest up before returning to action. Muncy was spotted taking ground balls but not throwing Friday, per Ken Gurnick of MLB.com.
