Duffy (back) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Duffy had been on the injured list since the end of June, but he spent the last few weeks on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake and hit .179 with a run, an RBI, a walk and six strikeouts over eight minor-league games. Duffy isn't starting Monday against the Yankees and will likely have to compete with Luis Rengifo for playing time at third base over the final month of the season.

Bregman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Orioles.

After a slow start to the season, Bregman has emerged as Houston's hottest hitter in August. He's now slashing .375/.457/.716 on the month and has provided seven of his 20 home runs on the campaign in the past two and a half weeks.

Paredes went 2-for-2 with two home runs, three RBI and three walks in Sunday's 12-4 win over the Red Sox.

Paredes got the scoring started with a solo shot in the second inning, followed by a two-run homer in the fourth, both against starter Nick Pivetta. The rookie infielder has gone deep four times in his last six appearances after snapping a 21-game homerless drought. He's now slashing .225/.306/.484 with 18 home runs, 40 RBI and a 48:29 K:BB through 291 plate appearances this season.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a two-run home run in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Rangers.

It's been a rough season for Candelario, who is batting just .202 with a .620 OPS. However, he's now riding a four-game hitting streak and has gone deep in consecutive contests, giving him 12 home runs this year. Candelario batted .271 with a .794 OPS and 16 home runs in 2021, so he's certainly capable of finishing 2022 on a more positive note.

Bride is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Bride started the past four games and will head to the bench after going 2-for-12 with a solo home run and five strikeouts. Sheldon Neuse will take over at the keystone Sunday for Oakland.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Guardians on Saturday.

Suarez uncorked his 24th homer of the season in the second inning off Zach Plesac to open the scoring on the night. The veteran has now left the yard five times in his last nine games alone, a span during which he owns a .300/.417/.900 slash line despite also sporting a massive 38.9 percent strikeout rate.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run and RBI during Saturday's 4-3 win against Seattle.

Ramirez got Cleveland on the board with a solo shot off Seattle starter Luis Castillo in the fourth and keyed an eighth-inning rally with an RBI double followed by the game-winning run. The solid performance puts him in a 9-for-25 stretch with four home runs across his last seven games that's upped Ramirez's season line to .285/.356/.553 with 26 home runs, 71 runs and a second-best 106 RBI.

Candelario went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Rangers.

Candelario's sixth-inning, two-run homer gave Detroit a 7-1 lead, and he added an RBI on a fielder's choice groundout in the ninth. The long ball was his first since July 26 -- a span of 25 games. Candelario has put together a modest three-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 4-for-12 with three extra-base hits.

Candelario went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Rangers.

Candelario played a key role in a rare Detroit offensive explosion. He hit his 11th home run of the season in the sixth inning against Dallas Keuchel with a runner on and also drove in another run on a ninth inning ground out. It's still been a struggle this year for Candelario, who has a .603 OPS after recording a .794 OPS in 2021.

Candelario went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and three total RBI in Saturday's 11-2 victory versus the Rangers.

Candelario's sixth-inning two-run homer gave Detroit a 7-1 lead, and he added an RBI on a fielder's choice groundout in the ninth. The long ball was his first since July 26 -- a span of 25 games. Candelario knocked only four extra-base hits (all doubles) and batted a meager .160 during the power drought, so he's mostly fallen off the fantasy radar.
