Owings is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Owings finds himself on the bench for a second straight day and may be on the outs for a full-time role in the wake of Kelvin Gutierrez's emergence. With the hot-hitting Gutierrez drawing his ninth straight start at third base, Hunter Dozier has settled in at designated hitter while Jorge Soler shifts to right field, leaving no room in the lineup for Owings.

Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer and walk in a 15-2 victory over the White Sox on Saturday.

With the Red Sox scoring 15 runs, it's a little disappointing Bogaerts didn't have more than one hit, but he did go deep during a nine-run third inning. Bogaerts is just 5-for-25 in his last six games, but three of those hits went for extra bases. Overall, he is batting .267 with five home runs, 18 RBI and 21 runs in 120 at-bats this season.

Mondesi went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, three runs scored, three RBI and two walks in Saturday's 15-2 win over the Tigers.

Mondesi went 0-for-8 with five strikeouts over the last two contests but got back on track as he reached base four times Saturday. The 23-year-old is slashing .284/.320/.522 with four home runs and 10 stolen bases over 33 games.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Rockies.

Ahmed took Colorado starter Kyle Freeland deep in the second inning for his first extra-base hit in the last six games. His OPS sits at a pedestrian .724 through 133 plate appearances.

Baez went 2-for-4 with a tie-breaking solo homer in the Cubs' 6-5 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

Leading off the bottom of the eighth inning in a tie game, Baez launched a homer to right field off John Brebbia that provided the winning run. The 26-year-old shortstop leads the Cubs with 11 home runs and 26 RBI and is sporting a .318/.353/.659 slash line for the season.

Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

Reyes was sent down after hitting just .128/.190/.128 in 42 plate appearances. Kevin Newman (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Adames went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Orioles on Friday.

Adames continued to make noise out of the bottom of the order, extending his hot start to the new month in the process. Adames is 5-for-11 with a double, two RBI, a walk and three runs over the first three games of May, raising his season average 28 points over that stretch.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Indians on Friday.

Gordon led off and produced one of only two multi-hit efforts for the Mariners. The speedy keeper of the keystone is now slashing .304/.331/.400 over 126 plate appearances following his third multi-hit tally in four games, and he's logged an impressive 90.0 percent success rate on his 10 stolen-base attempts thus far.

Garcia (elbow) returned to action for High-A Daytona on Friday, going 1-for-5 with a strikeout and a run.

He exited Thursday's game with an elbow injury, but it was apparently very minor, as he was right back in there the next day.

Perdomo is hitting .234/.385/.325 in 96 plate appearances at Low-A Kane County, with 17 walks and 17 strikeouts.

Perdomo isn't hitting for power, but keep in mind that he's 19 years old at his first stop in full season ball. He also has six stolen bases in nine attempts so far.
