Urena went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

Getting the start at shortstop and hitting eighth, Urena was the only Jay to collect multiple hits on the day. The 23-year-old has a career .364 SLG in 173 big-league at-bats, so performances like this are likely to be rare, but given his strong glove and all the moving parts on the team's infield, he could get more playing time than you might expect in 2019 -- assuming he isn't the roster casualty when Vlad Guerrero Jr. gets the call.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Dodgers.

Ahmed's contributions at the dish were mitigated by an eighth-inning error that keyed Los Angeles' come-from-behind win. That's unlike Ahmed, who won a Gold Glove in 2018. He's played all four games thus far, knocking a pair of doubles and driving in three.

Wendle, who exited Sunday's game with a left hamstring strain, will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle commented after the game that his gut feeling was the injury wasn't overly serious. Naturally, the MRI results will offer a final verdict and an update on Wendle's status should come at some point Monday.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-8 victory over Boston.

Gordon started the scoring party in the second inning with a two-run single off Rick Porcello. The 30-year-old has three stolen bases and six RBI in his first six games in 2019. Expect him to blow by his 30-stolen-base total from last season.

Bogaerts and the Red Sox are closing in on a six-year, $120 million contract extension that would take effect starting in 2020, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

While the exact details of the extension are still being ironed out, the deal appears imminent and could be finalized within the next few days. Bogaerts put together the best season of his young career in 2018, hitting .288 with 23 homers and 103 RBI over 136 games, so the Red Sox have opted to lock him up for the foreseeable future before he has a chance to hit the open market.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Royals.

Anderson, who's hit safely in all three games to start the season, slugged his first extra-base hit. He's 4-for-12 with an RBI and a stolen base while striking out just once.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Brewers.

DeJong put the Cardinals on the board with a two-run homer off Corbin Burnes in the fourth inning and is now 4-for-17 with three RBI over the first four games of the season. It's worth mentioning that DeJong was bumped down to the No. 5 spot in the order after batting cleanup for the first three games of the season, so it remains to be seen where he'll slot in Monday against the Pirates.

Turner went 2-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI, three runs and a stolen base in a 6-5 victory against the Mets on Sunday.

The 25-year-old's second blast was a walkoff in the ninth. Turner posted three steals on Opening Day, and along with his four stolen bases early this season, he has a pair of homers. Turner went 5-for-13 (.385) with four RBI and five runs in the opening series against the Mets.

Wendle left Sunday's game against the Astros with a left hamstring strain, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle is considered day-to-day. If he's forced to miss time, Brandon Lowe or Daniel Robertson will cover for him at second base.

Seager is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

This was a planned day off for Seager, as Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reported earlier in the week. As a result, there's no need for worry, though routine days off could occur for him throughout the season. Chris Taylor will start at shortstop in his place and bat seventh.
