Donaldson is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Donaldson has a .176/.256/.618 slash line with five home runs in 11 games since he returned from the injured list at the start of June, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's matinee. There's a strong chance the veteran is back in the lineup for Game 2. DJ LeMahieu will man third base and bat fifth in the first contest.

Bregman went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Reds.

Bregman swiped his second base of the season, his lone bright spot in the game. He's scuffled since the calendar flipped to June, as he has only 11 hits across 57 at-bats. On the other hand, Bregman has struck out only 13 times in that span, so there is some indication that he'll be able turn things around in the near future.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against Atlanta.

Moustakas made only his second start in the last eight games, with Elehuris Montero instead taking over primary duties at first base. The former did manage to take Bryce Elder deep in the fifth inning for his fourth homer of the season and second in his last 15 at-bats. Even with that production, Moustakas appears destined for a bench role and could be in jeopardy of losing his roster spot once C.J. Cron (back) is able to return.

Garcia went 1-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 10-9 win over the Angels.

Garcia went nine games without a steal before Saturday. He was a key piece of the Royals' walk-off win, delivering a game-tying RBI single, stealing second and then scoring the winning run on a Samad Taylor single. Garcia has a .254/.315/.354 slash line with a home run, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and six steals through 37 contests, and he appears to be over his slump from earlier in June. He's seen most of his action at third base, primarily competing with Nicky Lopez for playing time.

Davis (ankle) went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Dodgers.

Davis didn't start due as he continues to manage an ankle sprain, but he replaced Joc Pederson as the designated hitter when he entered. Davis' first contribution was a grand slam in the sixth inning, and he added an RBI single for the Giants' last run. It's too early to say the 30-year-old is over the ankle sprain, but it doesn't look like he's too far away from a return. The big game puts him at 10 homers, 40 RBI, 30 runs scored and a stolen base while slashing .291/.372/.493 over 64 contests. Davis has gone 5-for-13 (.385) over his last four games.

Machado went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Rays.

Machado drove in the Padres' second run with a single, then stole second base. The third baseman hasn't made a huge impact on the basepaths, as this was just his third steal in four attempts this season. He's had trouble getting on base, as evidenced by a .291 on-base percentage and 5.7 percent walk rate, limiting his chances to run, as Saturday's theft was his first since April 29. The 30-year-old is hitting .248 with eight home runs, 26 RBI and 27 runs scored over 54 contests in a down year.

Davis (ankle) will not be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, but he will be available off the bench to hit, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Davis will miss another game while dealing with his ankle sprain, but he told reporters that he's also available as a pinch hitter, if necessary. The infielder doesn't believe he'll need a trip to the injured list, though he isn't expected to return to the lineup until after the weekend series concludes versus Los Angeles.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to Boston.

Donaldson's blast traveled 413 feet to left-center field, though it didn't mean much in the context of the outcome since New York was down by 10 runs at the time. The veteran third baseman has gone deep five times in 11 games since returning from the injured list June 2. However, he has only one other hit (a single) over that span.

Rendon (wrist) is not expected to return to the lineup until Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon missed Friday's game against the Royals after getting hit in the wrist Thursday against Texas, and it looks like he'll miss the rest of the series as well. Luis Rengifo will start at third base in his absence Saturday.

The Marlins placed Segura on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left hamstring strain, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Segura sat out Friday's game against the Nationals and will now be forced to sit out another 10 days as a result of his injury. Jacob Amaya was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and figures to see a fair share of infield opportunities during Segura's absence.
