Devers went 2-for-4 with one homer, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Yankees.

The 25-year-old broke out of a slump in a big way, carrying the Red Sox to victory in Sunday night's bout with the Yankees. Devers was slashing just .136/.208/.313 since returning from his hamstring injury on Aug. 2, but with the home run Sunday, perhaps he'll get back on track. The All-Star is still sporting a healthy .305/.361/.577 line on the season.

Manager Aaron Boone said after Sunday's loss to the Red Sox that LeMahieu is dealing with a right big toe injury, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

LeMahieu sat out Sunday's series finale against Boston and has apparently been dealing with his injury for a few days. He received a cortisone shot during the All-Star break, but the issue has been bothering him while swinging recently. He'll likely get imaging done once the team returns home from Boston following Sunday's game, and he should tentatively be considered day-to-day.

LeMahieu is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

LeMahieu started the past 14 games and will head to the bench Sunday while in the midst of a 1-for-18 slump. Gleyber Torres will man the keystone and bat fifth in the series finale at Boston.

Urshela is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Urshela went 0-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three strikeouts Saturday and will take a seat in Sunday's series finale. Jose Miranda will move to third base while Byron Buxton rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Athletics.

Bregman kicked off the scoring in Saturday's game with a two-run shot that scored Yordan Alvarez. It was Bregman's 15th of the season and his second this month. The homer was his only hit in the game, but it extended his hit streak to five games. The third baseman has only one game this month without a hit and has just three strikeouts in August, resulting in a .389 batting average for the month. Since Aug. 2, Bregman has improved his season batting average from .243 to .256.

Walls went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-2 victory over Baltimore.

Walls launched a two-run shot in the eighth inning that sent Jose Siri home and gave the Rays an 8-2 lead, which they would hold for the win. The homer was his sixth of the year and his second this month. While he only picked up one hit, the shortstop reached via walk twice. Walls also avoided a strikeout in the outing, his second such game out of nine this month. He is now batting .185 in August and .172 for the year.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly in a 7-4 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

Suarez went deep off Rangers reliever Brock Burke for long ball No. 19 of 2022. He had also hit a sacrifice fly earlier in the game and now has 61 total RBI on the season. Suarez is slashing .227/.329/.420 this year, a fair bit below his career line of .249/.334/.461.

Bride will not start Saturday against the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Bride has made plenty of contact through his first 90 MLB plate appearances, striking out just 15.6 percent of the time, but he's struggled to hit the ball with much authority. A 1.4 percent barrel rate has led to zero home runs and just three extra-base hits, and he's slashing just .229/.289/.265. Nick Allen will start at second base Saturday.

Ramirez went 3-for-3 with a home run, four RBI and a walk in Friday's 8-0 win over the Blue Jays.

Ramirez had gone 8-for-39 (.205) with only two extra-base hits in the first 10 games of August. He put the slump to rest with a three-run home run in the fourth inning after previously contributing a sacrifice fly in the third. The third baseman's recent cold stretch hasn't done much damage to his season stats -- he's slashing .285/.355/.551 with 22 homers, 92 RBI, 63 runs scored and 14 stolen bases through 108 contests.

Bride went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, another two-bagger, a walk and a run in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Bride's productive night marked the fifth time he'd hit safely in the last six games, and it featured his first two extra-base hits since he laced a double against the Royals back on June 18 for his first such knock in the majors. The rookie seems to be hitting his stride at the plate somewhat at the big-league level, as he now carries a .258 average and .343 on-base percentage over his last nine games, a span during which he's generated an acceptable 20.0 percent strikeout rate coupled with a solid 11.4 percent walk rate.
