Donaldson (hamstring) is slated to be evaluated after playing in a minor-league game with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, the Associated Press reports.

Donaldson has already played in two contests with the Triple-A club during his current rehab assignment, going 1-for-6 with two walks, two strikeouts and a run. He played third base in the first game and DH in the second before getting a scheduled day off Saturday. Donaldson is expected to be back in the RailRiders' lineup Sunday before the organization evaluates his progress. It's possible that he could be activated from the IL and rejoin the Yankees during the team's series that starts Monday in Seattle, though it's previously been indicated that the third baseman is more likely to return next weekend to face the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Devers is dealing with a left calf injury but hopes to return Sunday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

The injury explains why Devers is sitting for the second consecutive day Saturday against Arizona, and it may also partially explain his 2-for-19 stretch over his last five games. He's feeling better, however, so a trip to the injured list doesn't seem necessary.

Devers is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

After getting a scheduled day of rest Friday, Devers will remain out of the lineup for a second straight contest Saturday. The 26-year-old went 2-for-19 with four strikeouts over his last five games, so the Red Sox will hope the multiple days of rest lead to better results for him moving forward. Justin Turner will draw the start at third base and bat third versus Arizona.

Peterson is not in the starting lineup Saturday against Houston.

Peterson will get a breather as Oakland faces southpaw Framber Valdez on the mound. Aledmys Diaz will take over at the hot corner and bat sixth versus the Astros.

Urias will sit Saturday versus the Rangers.

Urias will remain on the bench for a second straight game after being activated from the 10-day injured list. The 28-year-old went 0-for-1 after he entered Friday's loss as a pinch hitter. Adley Rutschman will slot in at designated hitter while James McCann enters the lineup at catcher and bats sixth against Texas.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI on Friday against the Athletics.

Bregman tallied his fourth multi-hit performance in his last 10 games, and he's also racked up eight RBI and 10 runs scored in that span. After a dreadful start to the season, he's hit .286 across his last 16 games. Bregman is striking out at only a 9.9 percent clip, so his average should continue to tick up as the campaign progresses.

Walls went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases Friday against the Dodgers.

Walls continues to use his defensive versatility to remain a regular in the lineup. In the last 10 games, he's started once at shortstop, four times at third base and three times at second. Walls has been particularly aggressive on the basepaths across the last two games by swiping four bases. His 13 stolen bases are the primary source of his fantasy value, but Walls has also quietly amassed an .840 OPS as well as 27 runs scored across 41 games this season.

Moncada went 3-for-5 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored Friday against the Tigers.

Moncada snapped a four-game hitless streak with an RBI triple in the fifth inning. He chipped in an additional two knocks to tally his third multi-hit performance in 14 games since he returned from a back injury. Though it's been a limited sample due to the injury, Moncada has shown significant steps forward in limiting his strikeout rate (21.3 percent) while also hitting for power (.170 ISO) across 94 plate appearances this season.

Jung went 3-for-5 with a triple, one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 12-2 win over Baltimore.

Jung continued a torrid stretch with a fourth consecutive multi-hit effort (9-for-17). Overall, he's hit safely in nine straight, going 15-for-34 (.441) with six extra-base hits, 10 RBI and nine runs during the streak.

Devers is not in the lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks.

This appears to be a planned night off for Devers, who has fallen into a bit of a slump but still boasts 13 homers and 44 RBI through 49 games on the year. Justin Turner is covering third base and batting third Friday versus the Diamondbacks and right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. Masataka Yoshida will take a turn as Boston's designated hitter.
