LeMahieu is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Blue Jays, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Although he'd hoped to play in Wednesday's game, LeMahieu's return has been postponed. However, with Colorado having Thursday off, he may return to action for Friday's contest against the Dodgers.

Longoria has put together his best month of the season to date in June, and is 6-for-13 with a double and two runs over his last three games.

The veteran has been progressively better each month this season, and has been at his best in June. After a 2-for-4 performance against the Red Sox on Tuesday that represented his second straight multi-hit effort, Longoria's June line is up to .309/.375/.649 with five doubles, nine homers, 17 RBI, 10 walks and 16 runs. The Rays offense continues to be starved for runs on most days, but the 30-year-old has managed to raise his average 14 points this month despite the team's struggles.

Donaldson went 2-for-5, walked, scored a run and drove in three in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Donaldson extended his hitting streak to seven games with the effort, and Tuesday's marked the fifth of those games with two hits. He added a triple Tuesday, giving him five on the season, more than he hit in the past two years combined. After 84 extra-base hits in 158 games last year, Donaldson is on almost the exact same pace in 2016, with 40 extra-base hits through 77 games.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple Tuesday against the Mets.

Rendon's second-inning triple off starter Matt Harvey got the scoring started in what ended up being a one-sided 5-0 affair. He's having a very productive series with four hits and four RBI through two games, and gets another crack at the Mets on Wednesday.

LeMahieu (knee) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

This makes it two straight absences for LeMahieu after he suffered a left knee contusion in Sunday's game. Cristian Adames will start at second base Tuesday. According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, LeMahieu reported improvement with the knee Tuesday and thinks he will be able to play in Wednesday's series finale.

Muncy was optioned back to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

In order to make room for Josh Reddick coming off the DL with a thumb injury, Muncy was sent back down to Nashville. Muncy went 9-for-35 with two doubles and two RBI during his brief stay with the A's and will likely get another with the club later on this summer. With Nashville this season, Muncy is batting .263/.366/.442 with seven home runs and 20 RBI.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with two runs, three RBI and a steal in a superb all-around performance Monday against the Mets.

Rendon was far from the only Washington player to find success in this one, with four other Nationals registering multi-hit games as well. The third baseman also swiped his second bag of the month, and is a threat to top 15 in both home runs and steals for the second time in his career, with seven and eight, respectively, at the moment.

Asuaje notched three hits in a doubleheader Sunday for Triple-A El Paso. He also stole a base and scored three runs.

Asuaje has been hitting quite well in Triple-A this season, slashing .325/.389/.470 in the notoriously hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. Asuaje doesn't figure to be much help in power categories, as he has a meager four home runs in 2016 and 28 for his entire minor league career. Despite the nice season, it will likely take an injury or a trade for Asuaje to be called up to the majors in 2016.

LeMahieu (knee) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

LeMahieu suffered a left knee contusion that forced him to leave Sunday's game early. The Rockies will look to Daniel Descalso to start in his place while he works on recovering as quickly as possible. LeMahieu will remain day-to-day for now.

Segura went 3-for-4 in Sunday's loss to the Rockies and scored three runs.

Like a lot of players, Segura enjoyed his trip to Coors Field. Over four games, he went 7-for-16 with eight runs, three RBI and three steals. After a brief slump earlier this month, Segura is closing out June nicely and has the average up to .311.
