Peterson isn't in the Athletics' lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

Peterson has recorded hits in both of Oakland's games since the All-Star break and will get a day to rest Sunday. Aledmys Diaz will fill in at third base and bat seventh in Peterson's place.

Maton is starting at third base and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Maton will return to the lineup after sitting out Saturday. He went 1-for-3 on Friday with a solo home run. Maton now has seven long balls but has mostly struggled this year with a .166 batting average and .594 OPS. The Tigers are lacking in reliable offensive threats, however, so Maton should still get an opportunity to turn things around at the plate.

Henderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins.

Henderson provided a game-tying blast in the seventh inning. He's hitting .267 with three homers and eight RBI over 11 games in July. The infielder is at a .245/.343/.460 slash line with 14 long balls, 38 RBI, 44 runs scored and five stolen bases through 81 contests. He's done enough to serve in an everyday role lately, which has included leadoff duties against right-handed pitchers.

Peterson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.

Peterson recorded his 10th stolen base of the season as part of a double steal with rookie Zack Gelof in the sixth inning, marking his third straight season with double-digit swipes. The veteran now has a modest three-game hitting streak but continues to carry an uninspiring .212/.301/.314 slash line for the season.

Gelof went 1-for-4 with a triple, two stolen bases and two runs in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.

A day after lacing an RBI double in his big-league debut, Gelof had an even more impactful extra-base hit with his third-inning triple. The rookie then made the most of reaching via a fielder's choice groundout in the sixth, recording swipes of both second and third base -- the latter on a double steal in conjunction with Jace Peterson -- and subsequently coming home on a Nick Allen sacrifice fly. Gelof's early success is a potential boon for both the frequently run-starved Athletics and fantasy managers, as he's already proven capable of contributing across the board offensively.

The Yankees recalled Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

With Josh Donaldson (calf) headed for the 10-day injured list, Peraza will come up to provide the Yankees with additional infield depth. Peraza is slashing .261/.352/.495 this season in Triple-A, but he's struggled heavily during his limited major-league opportunities.

The Yankees placed Donaldson on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right calf strain.

Donaldson's right calf gave him problems once again during Saturday's win over Colorado, and he'll now be placed on the shelf for 10 days after an MRI revealed a strain. Oswald Peraza was brought up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Saturday in a 6-5 victory versus Atlanta.

Burger produced arguably the biggest hit of the contest, swatting a solo shot off Spencer Strider in the sixth inning to snap a 4-4 tie. The long ball was the 20th of the season for Burger, fifth-most in the American League. That power has helped Burger remain in the lineup most days despite a 33.0 percent strikeout rate and .222 batting average.

Moustakas went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 13-12 extra-inning win over the Astros.

Moustakas' seventh-inning blasted tied the game at 9-9, erasing a six-run deficit. He's hit three homers in 13 games with the Angels after swatting just four in 47 contests with the Rockies to begin the year. The infielder is slashing .261/.341/.435 with 24 RBI, 27 runs scored and seven doubles over 185 plate appearances overall, primarily serving in a strong-side platoon role.

LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

LeMahieu has hit safely in five straight games, going 8-for-20 (.400) in that span after batting just .150 over his previous 17 contests. The infielder's recent slump cratered his OPS to a low point of .645 on July 5, but he's up to a .232 batting average and .666 OPS with seven home runs, 27 RBI, 29 runs scored, 15 doubles and two triples through 78 games overall.
