Muncy went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run to help the Dodgers to a 6-1 victory over the Padres on Sunday.

Muncy wasn't in the lineup to start the game against Padres lefty Matt Strahm, but he made his presence felt after entering as a pinch hitter, launching a two-run blast off Tyler Webb. That makes six long balls in just 83 at-bats in 2018 for Muncy, and he's now boasting an impressive .241/.354/.518 slash line for the season.

Ramirez went 2-for-6 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Astros.

Ramirez got Cleveland on the board early, as he hit a two-run homer to right in the bottom of the first. The 25-year-old third baseman has been on a tear of late, recording a base knock in eight of his last 10 games. He's batting an impressive .292 with 15 home runs and 37 RBI through 50 contests. Ramirez will try to stay hot at the plate as the Indians host the White Sox on Monday.

Segura (head) won't be moved to the disabled list and is set to work out Monday with the potential to be in the starting lineup, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Segura exited Saturday's game after being accidentally kicked in the head, and upon further evaluation, he didn't suffer a concussion. This is good news for the Mariners, as Segura won't need to hit the disabled list, and he'll likely be back on the field within the next few days.

Segura (head) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins, TJ Cotterill of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

As expected, Segura, who departed Saturday's game in the eighth inning when he was inadvertently kicked in the head while manning the field, underwent a test for a concussion Sunday morning. According to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, Segura said he has to take and pass another test later Sunday before gaining clearance from the protocol, so the Mariners should soon have clarity regarding whether or not he has a concussion. If he is diagnosed with a concussion, Segura would then be placed on the 7-day disabled list, with Triple-A Tacoma infielder Zach Vincej prepared to assume Segura's spot on the 25-man roster, per Divish.

Moustakas is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers.

With the two teams getting together for a day game in the series finale and Texas bringing a lefty to the hill in Cole Hamels, Royals manager Ned Yost decided it was an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Moustakas his second off day of the season. Moustakas has been the Royals' top hitter in 2018 but saw his production tail off over the last five games, during which he went 2-for-19 (.105 average).

Muncy is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

The Dodgers are stacking their lineup with right-handed bats against Padres southpaw Matt Strahm, so Muncy will find his way to the bench and will be replaced by everyday player Cody Bellinger at first base. Enrique Hernandez takes over in center field.

LeMahieu (thumb) was able to participate in pregame batting practice Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

LeMahieu has been out since May 14 with a left thumb sprain but has recently been able to play catch and hit without pain. The Rockies haven't announced when he'll be activated from the disabled list, but he's certainly trending in a positive direction.

Duffy is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles.

Duffy has started each of the past seven games, so manager Kevin Cash decided it was an optimal time to rest the infielder in advance of the club's road trip that begins Monday. Duffy's move to the bench will open up third base for Christian Arroyo, who will serve as the Rays' No. 8 hitter in the series finale.

Mariners manager Scott Servais said Saturday after Seattle's 4-3 victory over Minnesota that he expects Segura (head) to enter MLB's concussion protocol, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Segura departed in the bottom of the eighth inning after he was inadvertently kicked in the head in the field while completing a double-play relay throw to first base. The shortstop was enjoying a productive night prior to departing with three hits and his fourth home run of the season, but it sounds like he could miss at least a couple of days due to the head injury. Segura is slated to undergo concussion tests Sunday, so expect the Mariners to provide an official ruling on his diagnosis shortly before the series finale begins at 4:10 p.m. EDT.

Segura left Saturday's game against the Twins after taking a foot to the helmet during a slide into second base in the bottom of the eighth inning, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Considering it was a 3-3 tie at the time of the injury, it certainly seems like Segura may need to go into the concussion protocol, as he likely would not have left at that stage in the game due to a contusion or something else minor. He was 3-for-4 with a home run prior to exiting. Gordon Beckham came in to play second base and Austin Romine moved over to shortstop. Segura should be considered highly questionable for Sunday's game.
