Henderson went 2-for-5 with a homer, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Angels.

Henderson padded the Orioles' lead with a two-run blast in the sixth to put them up 7-2. He now has two homers, four extra-base hits and four RBI in his last three games. Sunday was also his fourth time with multiple hits over his last eight games. He's had an excellent run at the plate since late April and is now slashing .264/.307/.473 with five homers, nine RBI, 18 runs and an 8:38 BB:K in 137 plate appearances this season.

Iglesias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Iglesias served as the Padres' primary second baseman in April, but he shifted back to a reserve role when Jake Cronenworth was reinstated from the injured list Friday. Iglesias is also batting just .050 (1-for-20) in May, giving San Diego less incentive to find ways to get him into the lineup elsewhere.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Seager is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Detroit after his right hamstring tightened up on a swing Saturday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The shortstop had missed two straight games due to an injury to the same hamstring before returning to the lineup Saturday. Seager came up big in his return with two home runs and a double over four at-bats, but Ezequiel Duran came off the bench to replace him late in the contest. Seager is set to be evaluated Monday when the Rangers return home, but his availability for the start of a series versus the Rockies would seem to be in peril.

Seager is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Seager missed two straight games due to a right hamstring injury before returning to action in impressive fashion Saturday, when he went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, three RBI and an additional run to help lead the Rangers to a 10-3 victory. The Rangers haven't indicated that Seager experienced any setbacks with his hamstring coming out of Saturday's contest, so his absence Sunday could be a pre-planned maintenance day.

Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The Twins' initial lineup included Correa, but the team has elected to give the 30-year-old his first day off since April 16 instead. With Correa on the bench, Brooks Lee will slide over to shortstop and Kody Clemens will enter the lineup at second base.

Smith started at first base and went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Tigers.

Smith got things rolling in the blowout win, homering off Jack Flaherty to lead off the game, and the Rangers followed with four more long balls before the day was done. Smith started at first base for the third time in the last five contests. In the other two games, he filled in at shortstop for Corey Seager, who was nursing a mild hamstring strain. Smith may be the choice at first base against right-handers following Jake Burger's demotion. Smith is slashing .315/.387/.477 with four home runs, 10 RBI, four steals and 18 runs through 34 games.

Sweeney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Sweeney started the previous 19 games and had a .736 OPS during that stretch, but he will head to the bench after striking out in all four of his plate appearances Saturday to don a Golden Sombrero. Zach McKinstry will step in at shortstop for the series finale versus Texas.

De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and an additional RBI in Saturday's 13-9 win over the Astros.

De La Cruz -- who entered Saturday's game 0-for-8 with four strikeouts over his prior two games -- put the Reds on the board with a three-run home run off Lance McCullers in the first inning, and the shortstop tacked on another run in the same frame on an RBI groundout. De La Cruz has struggled at the plate in May, going 6-for-39 (.154 average) with a 31.1 percent strikeout rate.

Pena went 3-for-6 with a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 13-9 loss to the Reds.

Pena smacked an RBI single and double in the fifth and ninth innings, respectively, for his ninth multi-hit game of the season, and he was one of four Astros batters to record two RBI. Pena has reached base safely in 12 of his last 13 games, and over that span he has slashed .357/.390/.536 with two home runs, seven runs and 11 RBI.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in a 6-5 win against the Mets on Saturday.

Swanson plated a run on an infield single in the first inning and added a solo shot to left-center field in the fourth. The veteran shortstop has reached base safely in 11 consecutive contests, batting .421 (16-for-38) with four homers, 11 runs and seven RBI over that stretch. Swanson was hitting below the Mendoza Line as recently as April 29, but the hot stretch has pushed his season slash line to .240/.298/.455 with eight home runs, 22 RBI, 28 runs and four stolen bases through 40 games.
