Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Launches grand slam in win
Henderson went 3-for-5 with a grand slam in Tuesday's 11-6 win over Toronto.
Henderson's now homered in three straight games while recording multiple hits in his last four contests, going 11-for-18 (.611) with eight RBI in that span. It's been an incredible stretch for the 21-year-old rookie after a very slow start to the season. Henderson is now slashing .246/.355/.475 with 10 homers, 35 runs scored, 25 RBI and four stolen bases through 214 plate appearances this season.

J.D. Davis 1B | LAA
Giants' J.D. Davis: Leaves with ankle sprain
Davis left Tuesday's game versus St. Louis with a sprained right ankle, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Davis injured the ankle early in the contest sliding into third base, and the veteran infielder was unable to continue. He should be considered day-to-day for now, but David Villar was removed from Triple-A Sacramento's game Tuesday, and will likely receive a promotion if and when the Giants place Davis on the 10-day injured list.

Davis was lifted from Tuesday's game against the Cardinals with an apparent ankle injury, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Davis appeared to injure his right ankle during an awkward slide into third base. The Giants will take a look at him and should provide more details shortly, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Max Muncy 3B | LAD
Dodgers' Max Muncy: Battling hamstring strain
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Muncy is out of the lineup due to a left hamstring strain, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Muncy apparently strained his hamstring while running to first base during his final at-bat Sunday. He's scheduled to receive an MRI on Wednesday and won't return to the lineup until Thursday at the earliest.

Nick Senzel 3B | LAD
Reds' Nick Senzel: Set to start rehab assignment
Senzel (knee) is set to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Senzel was initially supposed to start for Louisville on Sunday, but the game got rained out and the team had an off day Monday. The 27-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since last Tuesday with right knee irritation and isn't eligible to be activated until Friday, so he'll likely make multiple starts in Triple-A.

Gio Urshela 3B | MIN
Angels' Gio Urshela: Remains out of lineup
Urshela (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers.
Urshela has been out of the lineup five times in the last seven games at least in part due to a back injury. He's considered day-to-day. Brandon Drury is at first base and Luis Rengifo is at second.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN
Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Knocks seventh homer in win
Suarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-1 win over the Marlins on Monday.
Suarez launched a 420-foot shot to right center in the fifth to extend the Mariners' lead to 7-1 at the time, his first home run since May 28. The veteran slugger's .218 average and .648 OPS are underwhelming relative to his standards, but Suarez's everyday role at the hot corner doesn't appear to be in any jeopardy.

Emmanuel Rivera 3B | BAL
Diamondbacks' Emmanuel Rivera: Hot bat continues
Rivera went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-8 win over the Phillies.
Rivera was a pivotal contributor in the Diamondbacks' comeback from a 5-1 deficit. He singled and scored in the third and fourth innings, including an RBI knock, then brought in another run with a sacrifice fly. Rivera continues to swing a hot bat, having hit safely in 13 of the last 15 games (22-for-55, .400) while mustering eight multi-hit efforts.
