Urias isn't in the Orioles' lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

Urias extended his hitting streak to six games Friday but will sit for the second consecutive contest Sunday. His absence will allow Jordan Westburg to start at third base and bat eighth.

Paredes isn't in the Rays' lineup Sunday against Cleveland.

Paredes will get a break Sunday after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Saturday's contest. Curtis Mead will take over at third base and bat seventh in Paredes' place.

Chapman was scratched from Toronto's lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Cubs due to inflammation in his right middle finger, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

The severity of Chapman's injury is unclear, but it is apparently enough to keep him out of Sunday's contest. The Blue Jays will take a closer look at him and should offer more information in the near future. Meanwhile, Santiago Espinal will slide over to third base in Chapman's place, and Paul DeJong will enter at shortstop.

LeMahieu (calf) isn't in the Yankees' lineup Sunday against Miami.

LeMahieu's sore right calf will keep him out of the lineup for a fifth consecutive game Sunday, but the veteran third baseman will be available off the bench and could return to the lineup Monday against Atlanta, per Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will continue to start at third base, allowing Billy McKinney to man left field.

Devers isn't in the Red Sox's lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

After going 3-for-7 through the first two games of the series, Devers will get a day off for the first time since mid-July. Luis Urias will shift over to third base in Devers' absence, allowing Pablo Reyes to start at second.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

Moncada tagged Brandon Woodruff for a solo shot to center field in the sixth inning, marking his first homer since returning from a lengthy stay on the injured list July 25. The third baseman has seen his power drop off since going deep 25 times in 2019, as he has since topped out at 14 homers over 144 contests in 2021. With just four long balls and one stolen base across 54 games, Moncada has been waiver-wire fodder in most fantasy formats this season.

Urias is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Urias will get a day off after he went 2-for-7 with a triple and a run scored while starting the last two games following a one-game absence with a heel injury. Jordan Westburg will take over at third base and bat eighth against Seattle.

Henderson is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Mariners, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Henderson will take a seat after he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts during the series opener Friday. Jorge Mateo will draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth versus Seattle.

Garcia (upper body) will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Garcia left Friday's game against the Cardinals with upper-body discomfort, and he'll remain sidelined Saturday. The exact nature and severity of his injury remain unclear, but the Royals have an off day scheduled for Sunday, so he'll get at least two days to rest. Matt Duffy will handle third base in his absence.

LeMahieu (calf) remains absent from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Marlins.

LeMahieu hasn't played since Monday while dealing with a sore right calf. A trip to the injured list appears unlikely, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports, as the veteran took grounders at third base prior to Saturday's game and appears to be working toward his return. Isiah Kiner-Falefa remains the starting third baseman for now.
