Maton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Maton will take a seat after going 0-for-20 at the dish over his last five games to drop his season average to .131. With Maton on the bench, Zach McKinstry and Jonathan Schoop will pick up starts at third base and second base, respectively.

Jung went 2-for-6 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 18-3 win over Oakland.

Jung laced a two-run single as part of a five-run second inning to extend his hitting streak to 10 consecutive games. He's gone 14-for-42 during the streak with three extra-base hits, six RBI and eight runs while striking out 16 times.

Duffy went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a walk, one RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-8 win over the Angels.

Duffy continues to make the most of limited playing time -- this was his third multi-hit effort of the season. The infielder has gone 6-for-15 (.400) over his last five games. For the season, he owns a .394/.412/.545 slash line with a home run, four RBI, four runs scored and a 1:6 BB:K across 34 plate appearances. Duffy's been used more as a reserve than a platoon option, starting five times against southpaws and four times against righties. With Michael Massey, Nicky Lopez and Hunter Dozier all scuffling, Duffy could see an uptick in playing time until his bat cools off.

Urias went 1-for-3 with a three-run double in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Tigers.

Urias provided a big hit in the third inning, lacing a bases-loaded double to give Baltimore a 4-0 lead. The infielder hadn't driven in a run since April 10 versus Oakland. He's maintained a .240/.356/.380 slash line with a home run, seven RBI, seven runs scored, four doubles and a 5:19 BB:K through 59 plate appearances this season, though it's his solid defense that will help him stay in the lineup when his bat's cold.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss against Milwaukee.

Devers hadn't homered in his previous six games, his longest drought of the season. The third baseman brought the Red Sox within one run thanks to a sixth inning two-run shot. Devers has a .925 OPS this season, which would be a career high.

Freeman (shoulder) is hitting eighth and playing third base against the Marlins on Saturday for the second game of a doubleheader.

Freeman has missed the past few games with a shoulder injury, but he'll return for the second game of a twin bill. Jose Ramirez will be the designated hitter for the contest with Gabriel Arias handling the shortstop duties and Amed Rosario out of the lineup.

Henderson was added to the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers when Jorge Mateo (hip) was scratched.

Henderson was set for a day off but will instead bat eighth and start at shortstop. He's disappointed in the early going this season, particularly in terms of his 34.3 percent strikeout rate, but he may be turning this around recently, striking out just three times in his last four games while recording four hits.

Peterson will be on the bench Saturday against the Rangers.

Peterson has been in nearly a strict platoon this season, starting just once against a lefty. With Andrew Heaney on the mound Saturday, Aledmys Diaz gets the nod at third base.

Peraza went 1-for-2 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays. He also walked once.

Peraza's steal is his first in the majors this season, but the sixth when you count the five he had in nine games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 22-year-old infielder has significant speed and would be a major contributor to the category for fantasy players if he was to get an everyday role with the Yankees, but there's just no guarantee that will happen for Peraza in 2023.

Henderson will get the day off Saturday against the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Henderson is walking at a 21.4 percent clip this season but isn't doing much else at the plate, hitting .185/.371/.296 with one home run. He'll sit for the fourth time in the first 20 games as a result, with Ramon Urias starting at the hot corner.
