  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Records three hits in loss

    Schneemann started in center field and went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Sunday's 13-1 loss to Atlanta.

    With Steven Kwan getting a rare day off, Schneemann entered the lineup for the first time in a week. He'd been getting regular opportunities over the first week of the season, but the hot-hitting Angel Martinez and the call-up of prospect Juan Brito reduced Schneeman's plate appearances as an outfielder or at second base. He's batting .265 (9-for-34) with six doubles, four RBI, one steal and four runs scored over 12 games played.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Rhys Hoskins: Goes deep in loss

    Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 13-1 loss to Atlanta.

    Hoskins accounted for the Guardians' lone run with a sixth-inning blast, his first home run of the season. Following a bumpy start, Hoskins has RBI in four consecutive contests, while going 5-for-16 with four extra-base hits. He's slashing .231/.333/.436 over 12 games played.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Another right-handed homer

    De La Cruz went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Angels.

    The switch-hitting De La Cruz popped a three-run homer in the ninth inning batting right-handed off lefty Drew Pomeranz. Four of his five home runs this season have come from the right side in only 22 at-bats. De La Cruz has historically been more productive from the left side (.844 OPS) than the right (.634).

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Begins throwing, batting next

    Trevino (back) began light throwing Saturday, MLB.com reports.

    After receiving an epidural injection Friday, Trevino's throwing session was the first bit of baseball activity since landing on the 10-day injured list. If he responds well, the Reds are hoping Trevino can take batting practice Tuesday.

  • Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Delivers in pinch

    Del Castillo went 1-for-1 with an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over Philadelphia.

    Del Castillo entered as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and delivered the game-winning run. He normally serves as a designated hitter, but Corbin Carroll has operated as the DH the last two games since returning from a tight hip flexor injury. Del Castillo will share catching duties with James McCann while Gabriel Moreno (back) is unavailable. With just two healthy catchers, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo may not use both Del Castillo and McCann in starting lineups.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Helps in comeback win

    Perdomo went 0-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.

    Perdomo, who got on base via a force-out, stole second base and scored the first of two runs in the eighth inning that clinched the comeback victory. The shortstop, who is batting .157 through 16 games, is doing what he can despite the slow start. Over the last five games, during which he's gone 2-for-14, Perdomo has walked six times, stole three bases and scored four runs.

  • Corbin Carroll RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Remains at DH

    Carroll went 2-for-4 with a walk and a double in Sunday's 4-3 win over Philadelphia.

    Carroll served as the designated hitter for the second straight game since a return from a two-game absence due to a hip flexor injury. It's not clear when Carroll will return to right field, where Jorge Barrosa has filled in for him the last four games.

  • James McCann C | ARI

    Diamondbacks' James McCann: Contributes to win

    McCann went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.

    McCann knocked in the Diamondbacks' first run with his second-inning double. It was the second straight contest with a run-scoring double for the catcher, who is batting .200 with three doubles and three RBI through eight games played. With Arizona likely to place Gabriel Moreno (back) on the injured list, McCann is in line for regular at-bats.

  • Jake Bauers 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Hits fourth homer

    Bauers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Nationals.

    Bauers has had multiple hits in four of the 14 contests he's appeared in this season, including one Friday against the Nationals. All four of those games featured a home run from the 30-year-old, and Sunday was no different. He was one of three members of the Brewers to take Zack Littell deep, all of the solo variety. With Sunday's performance, Bauers is slashing .239/.300/.522 for the year with 10 RBI in 14 games played.

  • Gary Sanchez C | MIL

    Brewers' Gary Sanchez: Comes off bench, slugs homer

    Sanchez went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Nationals.

    Sanchez didn't start Sunday but was thrust into designated-hitter duties for the Brewers in the bottom of the fifth inning after Christian Yelich (hamstring) was removed from the game. In his second at-bat, the 33-year-old launched his fourth long ball of the season to pull the Brewers back to even after they saw a one-run lead become a three-run deficit just a half-inning prior. Though he's appeared in just nine games and logged 28 plate appearances, Sanchez has been exceptional in the limited sample with a .273/.429/.818 slash line. With the Brewers manager Pat Murphy expressing concern after the game about Yelich's health, Sanchez could be primed to receive more regular playing time if Yelich requires a stint on the injured list.
