Chapman went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Orioles.

The third baseman drove a second-inning Dean Kremer sinker that stayed up in the zone over the wall in left-center field to give the Jays an early 1-0 lead. Chapman snapped a 28-game home run drought with the performance, a stretch in which he batted a meager .224 with only five RBI, but on the season he still sports a .301/.381/.514 slash line with six homers, 23 runs and 24 RBI over 46 contests.

Candelario went 4-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's win over the Tigers.

The 29-year-old switch hitter did his best to make Detroit regret letting him go last fall. Over the course of a three-game series against the Tigers, Candelario went 6-for-13, and over his last 11 contests he's slashing .450/.522/.800 with half of his 18 hits going for extra bases (six doubles, a triple and two home runs.)

Vargas went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Tigers.

Getting a rare start at shortstop and batting seventh, Vargas took Joey Wentz deep in the third inning for his second homer of the year. The 31-year-old utility player has been productive when called upon -- he's made seven appearances in May and produced four multi-hit performances, batting .458 (11-for-24) on the month with seven RBI.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Marlins.

Davis put the Giants ahead 4-2 with his blast in the third inning. He'd hit a rough patch recently, going 2-for-19 over his previous seven contests before breaking out of the slump Sunday. The infielder is slashing .288/.363/.496 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 16 runs scored and five doubles through 43 games this season, earning a near-everyday role after initially looking like a platoon option to begin the year.

Jung went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Rockies.

Jung got the scoring started for the Rangers with his second-inning solo shot. It was his ninth homer of the year, but his first in 15 games. The third baseman is slashing .257/.308/.456 with 28 RBI, 30 runs scored, a stolen base and seven doubles through 43 contests in his first season as a near-everyday player.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Dodgers.

Arenado was the only one of the Cardinals' Nos. 1-5 hitters to hit safely in the contest, but the bottom of the lineup had a productive game. The third baseman extended his hitting streak to 12 games, a span in which he's gone 20-for-49 (.408) with six home runs, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .278/.322/.460 with nine long balls, 34 RBI, 26 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases. After a rough start to the year, he appears to be getting back to his usual level of performance.

Maton went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

Maton was the only Detroit player with an extra-base hit, as he popped his fifth home run of the season in the sixth inning. This was only the second multi-hit effort of the month for Maton, who's mostly struggled this year with a .165 batting average across 41 games. He gives the Tigers some defensive versatility but can mostly be avoided in fantasy leagues at the moment.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk during Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.

The 30-year-old put Cleveland ahead 4-3 with two-run shot to center field during the eighth inning, though the lead didn't last for long. It's just the fifth homer of the season for Ramirez, whose .465 slugging percentage would be his lowest since 2016.

Angels manager Phil Nevin recently said he was encouraged by the results of the MRI that Rendon (groin) received May 17, per MLB.com.

Rendon was placed on the 10-day IL on May 15 with a left groin strain, with the move being retroactive to the previous day. Nevin was optimistic when discussing the third baseman earlier this week, suggesting that his MRI results were encouraging and indicating that the Angels "don't think it'll be very long at all" before he is able to return. Rendon was hitting well prior to the injury, slashing .380/.484/.480 with a home run, nine RBI, 11 runs, a stolen base and an 8:6 BB: K over his previous 14 contests.

Muncy was ejected from Sunday's game against the Cardinals for arguing balls and strikes, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The 32-year-old struck out in both his plate appearances and was ejected for arguing a called third strike during the fourth inning. Muncy should be back in the lineup Monday in Atlanta, while Chris Taylor replaced him at third base Sunday.
