  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Exits game prematurely

    Segura left Monday's game after apparently injuring himself while diving back to first base, Bob Dutton of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Segura was replaced by Taylor Motter after exiting the game in the fourth inning. He should be considered day-to-day until the Mariners update his status, which should happen sometime after Monday's contest.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Rockies' DJ LeMahieu: Returns to action Monday

    LeMahieu is back in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, Jenny Cavnar of Root Sports reports.

    LeMahieu received a rest day for Sunday's outing, so it comes as no surprise to see him back in action Monday. Last year's NL leader in batting average, he'll hit second and get the nod at second base as he looks to elevate his current .160 mark.

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Continues to wreak havoc on basepaths

    Segura went 1-for-3 with three runs and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Angels.

    Segura is now hitting .333 and has three stolen bases on the young season. He's already showing that last year with the Diamondbacks was no fluke. Hitting atop a powerful Seattle lineup, Segura is a good fantasy piece to have, as he provides speed, average and power.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Royals' Mike Moustakas: Nails third home run

    Moustakas went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Houston.

    Moustakas' sixth-inning blast was his third through the team's first six games this year. Unfortunately for the third baseman, all three of his homers have been solo shots. Owners can't really complain, though, considering he's off to a blazing start. Moustakas is 8-for-23 (.348) while hitting safely in every game so far, including Saturday's contest in which he singled in his only at-bat as a pinch hitter.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson: Expects to return Tuesday

    Donaldson received treatment on his calf Sunday and is optimistic that he'll be able to return Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports.

    Donaldson tweaked his calf during Sunday's game against the Rays and was forced to leave early, but his condition seems to be headed in the right direction. In addition to saying that his injury is fairly minor, Donaldson will be aided by Toronto having Monday off, giving him an extra day to recover.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Placed on 7-day DL

    Chapman (wrist) was placed on the 7-day disabled list Sunday, MiLB.com reports.

    The power-hitting third baseman hurt his left wrist while checking his swing during a game with Triple-A Nashville on Friday, and it was quickly determined that he'd need some extended time off to recover from the injury. Unless Chapman's wrist issue proves to be more of a multi-month setback than a multi-week one, his development shouldn't be too stunted.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson: Exits early with calf injury Sunday

    Donaldson left Sunday's game after injuring his calf running to first, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports.

    After hitting an infield grounder, Donaldson was hustling to first in an effort to outrun the throw when he appeared to tweak his calf. He was promptly pulled from the game and replaced at the hot corner by Ryan Goins. Prior to his early exit, Donaldson had gone 1-for-3 at the plate with a home run. Further information regarding the severity of his ailment should be available in the near future.

  • Trevor Plouffe 3B | PHI

    Athletics' Trevor Plouffe: Returns to lineup Sunday

    Plouffe (illness) will start at third base and bat sixth in the order Sunday against the Rangers.

    Plouffe was held out for the first time this season Saturday after coming down with the illness, but the Athletics were never worried about the third baseman missing extended time. The day off might actually prove beneficial to Plouffe, who was stuck in a rut at the dish prior to sitting out Saturday. He's collected three hits in 19 at-bats this season and has struck out six times.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Another multi-hit outing Saturday

    Segura went 3-for-4 with two runs in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Angels.

    Segura played the role of table-setter perfectly Saturday, coming home on Mitch Haniger's first-inning home run and Nelson Cruz's sacrifice fly in the eighth. The 27-year-old has been exactly what the Mariners envisioned thus far at the top of the order, with four multi-hit efforts over the first six games along with a pair of stolen bases.
