  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Not starting Monday

    Rojas is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Rojas sits for just the fifth time this season. He's having a solid season at the plate, hitting .286/.370/.455 through 127 plate appearances. Jon Berti starts at shortstop in his absence.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Returns to roster

    Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

    Camargo missed out on the Opening Day roster but is already in his third separate stint in the big leagues this season. He's seen infrequent action during his time with the team, going hitless in 12 at-bats. There's little reason to believe he'll suddenly have an important role this time around.

  • David Fletcher 2B | ATL

    Angels' David Fletcher: Collects two hits, one theft

    Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Hits were hard to come by for both teams in the contest, and Fletcher accounted for two of the Angels' six base knocks with a pair of singles. He scored a run in the third inning and stole his second base of the campaign in the eighth. During his current five-game hitting streak, Fletcher is batting .370 (10-for-27) to boost his overall season average to .280.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Tallies three hits again

    Seager went 3-for-5 with a double in the Dodgers' loss to the Angels on Sunday.

    The Dodgers were quiet offensively Sunday as Seager totaled three of the team's four hits. It was the second game in a row that he tallied three hits. He reached base safely eight times in the weekend series against the Angels. The 27-year-old is slashing .273/.388/.447 in a team-leading 152 plate appearances. He's been patient in drawing 18 walks to go along with four home runs, 19 runs and 19 RBI.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Blasts fourth home run

    Swanson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a single in Sunday's victory over the Phillies.

    Swanson smoked his fourth homer of the year off Aaron Nola in the first inning. The shortstop was 5-for-11 in the series with his division rivals and he is now slashing .226/.299/.387 as he starts to pick it up after a sluggish start to the season.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Belts three-run homer

    Adames went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

    Adames came up huge with a game-tying three-run shot in the fifth inning off Cole Irvin. Although the 25-year-old shortstop entered Sunday in a massive slump, the crucial homer might have earned him a spot in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's homestand against the Yankees.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Doubles in two runs

    Bichette went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's 7-4 loss to Houston.

    Down 7-0, the Blue Jays made a push with a four-run fifth inning that included Bichette's two-run double. He came around to score that inning on a Vladimir Guerrero base knock. The 23-year-old improved his season slash line to .267/.310/.496 with 15 extra-base hits and 20 RBI.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Heads to bench Sunday

    Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Manager Dusty Baker will extend Correa a day off while he's stuck in a 1-for-27 slump at the plate that has dropped his season average to .246. Robel Garcia steps in at shortstop for Correa in the series finale.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Sitting out Sunday

    Baez (back) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.

    The 28-year-old exited Saturday's contest with back tightness, and he'll receive two days to rest between Sunday and Monday's scheduled off day. Ildemaro Vargas will work at shortstop in the series finale in Baez's absence for Chicago.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Drives in one, swipes bag

    Lindor went 2-for-3 with a double, one RBI, one run, a walk and a stolen base in the Mets' 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Lindor may finally be catching a bit of a hot streak. The perennial All-Star reached base safely nine times in his last three games. He has a home run, three RBI, three runs and a stolen base in that stretch. Despite the recent burst, the 27-year-old is slashing a brutal .190/.317/.270 in 121 plate appearances with his new team.
