  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Homers in defeat

    Moncada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 4-1 loss to Detroit.

    The White Sox were unable to generate much offensive production Sunday, but Moncada accounted for the team's lone run with his home run to lead off the bottom of the fourth inning. He has three extra-base hits over his last five games, and he's gone 3-for-20 with two solo home runs, a double, a walk and four strikeouts over that stretch.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Not starting Sunday

    Devers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Devers will step out of the lineup for the first time since Sept. 7, and he had an .815 OPS with two home runs and 11 RBI during that 13-game stretch. Bobby Dalbec will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh in Sunday's series finale.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Yankees' Josh Donaldson: Takes seat Sunday

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

  • Matt Duffy 3B | TEX

    Angels' Matt Duffy: Riding pine Sunday

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Day-to-day with neck spasms

    Urias is day-to-day with back/neck spasms, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday that Urias would miss a day or two, so it sounds like he should return either Monday or Tuesday in Boston. Rougned Odor is starting in his place Sunday.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Returns to lineup Sunday

    Walls (groin) is starting at second base and hitting ninth Sunday against the Blue Jays.

    Walls had been making appearances off the bench this weekend, but this is his first start since Thursday. He is hitting .171 with one home run and two steals in 18 games this month.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Riding pine Sunday

    Urias is not in Sunday's lineup against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Urias is hitting .220 with zero home runs in 20 games this month. Rougned Odor will start at second base while Gunnar Henderson starts at third.

  • Ryan Kreidler SS | MIN

    Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: On bench Saturday

    Kreidler isn't starting Saturday against the White Sox.

    Kreidler is out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games after he went 2-for-4 with a strikeout Friday. Jeimer Candelario will start at the hot corner and bat seventh.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Return uncertain

    LeMahieu (toe) remains unable to play, and it's not clear when or if he'll be able to return this season, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

    There was some optimism earlier this week that LeMahieu could potentially return to action during this weekend's homestand versus Boston, but the veteran infielder still hasn't been able to swing at 100 percent during batting practice. He has indicated that he's feeling better but has also explained that he isn't able to play in his current state. Manager Aaron Boone hasn't ruled out the possibility of LeMahieu returning during next week's three-game series in Toronto, but that sounds like an unlikely scenario given LeMahieu's continuing inability to move past the injury. Boone acknowledged the uncertainty of LeMahieu's timeframe for a return, calling the injury a "great unkown" and saying, "It's been a really tricky injury to get our arms around. What treatments we can do, if and when you can do a shot, things like that. We'll see."

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Good to go

    Urias (neck/shoulder) will bat fifth and play third base Saturday against Houston, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Urias was scratched Friday due to neck and shoulder spasms, but the issue evidently wasn't very serious. He'll look to climb out of his slump Saturday, as he has just four hits in his last 12 games.
