Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Reds. He was also caught stealing.

Since getting off to a 2-for-14 start, Lindor has gone 9-for-30 with three home runs. He's still looking for his first stolen base -- Monday's attempt was his first -- and Cleveland is not running a lot as a team early on. That said, it would still be a surprise if Lindor didn't end up with a handful of steals by the end of the campaign.

Owings went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Monday's 7-6 win over San Francisco.

Owings clocked his first home run of the season in the eighth inning to give the Rockies a 7-4 lead. In 18 at-bats this season, the utilityman owns an .868 OPS with five runs scored.

Seager (quad) is starting as the designated hitter and batting sixth Monday against the Padres.

Seager wasn't able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks due to a left quadriceps injury, but he'll be healthy enough to serve as the designated hitter for the series opener against San Diego. It's unclear when the 26-year-old will be able to return to the field, but Chris Taylor will handle the duties at shortstop Monday.

Mondesi (quadriceps) will bat eighth and play shortstop Monday against the Cubs, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Mondesi left Sunday's game against the White Sox after fouling a pitch off his leg, but his removal was considered precautionary, so it's no big surprise to see him remain in the lineup Monday. Mondesi has started all 11 games this season despite going just .231/.231/.333 at the plate, though the rebuilding Royals have little reason not to let him work through his struggles on the field.

Baez went 1-for-5 with a game-winning single in the 11th inning against the Pirates on Sunday.

Baez scuffled at the plate until the 11th inning, when he delivered a one-out single to bring home the runner who started the frame on second base. The young shortstop is slashing .243/.300/.541 through nine games, and those numbers should continue to rise.

Fletcher went 1-for-5 with a walk, stolen base and run scored in Sunday's 11-inning loss to Houston.

Fletcher finished the three-game series against Houston with four hits and four walks in 15 plate appearances. That kind of production has been par for the course for Fletcher so far in 2020 -- he has hit safely in all but two contests and carries a .368/.458/.447 slash line through 10 games. He also has two stolen bases after swiping eight bags in 154 contests last season.

Camargo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win against the Mets.

Camargo hasn't been very productive at the plate over the start of the season, but he provided an insurance run in the fourth inning Sunday with his first home run of the campaign. The 26-year-old has a .642 OPS with two extra-base hits and one RBI over his first eight games this year.

Bogaerts went 4-for-4 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 9-7 loss to the Yankees.

Bogaerts opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the first inning. He scored again on a Christian Vazquez single in the third. Bogaerts then went yard again in the fifth with a solo shot versus Yankees reliever Michael King. The shortstop's big game gives him three homers, nine RBI and six runs scored in 10 games this season.

Seager (quad) could serve as the designated hitter Monday against the Padres, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Seager was held out of Sunday's win against the Diamondbacks, but manager Dave Roberts said after the game that he received treatment for his quad issue. If Seager shifts to the designated hitter role while he recovers, Chris Taylor would be the most likely candidate to see time at shortstop.

Mondesi was removed from Sunday's game against the White Sox after the fourth inning with a quadriceps contusion, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

According to Lewis, the Royals are labeling Mondesi's removal as precautionary after he fouled a pitch off his lower leg during his lone at-bat in the second inning. Mondesi ended up grounding out in the at-bat and went on to play the next two innings in the field, but the Royals decided to err on the side of caution by pulling him out of the contest early. Nicky Lopez (shin) came off the bench to replace Mondesi, who can be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener with the Cubs.
