LeMahieu (toe) hopes to return to action during the Yankees' homestand that begins Sept. 20, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

LeMahieu landed on the injured list Thursday, and it appears he will miss more than the minimum 10 days. However, he might not be out much beyond that. Gleyber Torres will likely remain the Yankees' primary second baseman until LeMahieu is ready to return.

Henderson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, according to Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun.

Henderson tallied three hits over his last two games, but manager Brandon Hyde decided it was time for his first day off as a big-leaguer. Jesus Aguilar will join the lineup with Henderson opening the game on the bench.

Devers went 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 17-4 win over Baltimore.

Devers ended a 21-game run without a home run early in the contest, connecting on a first-inning grand slam. His 425-foot no-doubter also lifted the third baseman from a 1-for-13 funk over the last four games, during which he left 12 men on base.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over Atlanta.

Suarez hit one of two Seattle solo homers off Atlanta starter Max Fried in the contest, launching a 423-foot shot in the sixth inning. The long ball was his third over his past three games and pushed his season total to 28. Suarez went deep 31 times last season but finished below the Mendoza Line with a .198 batting average. He's maintained the power while improving his slash line to .233/.333/.456 in 2022.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Twins.

Ramirez made some noise from the No. 3 spot in the order. He picked up his 15th steal of the season in the first inning, his first successful theft since July 26 after getting caught on his last three attempts. The third baseman's on pace to miss the 20-steal mark for the first time in a full season since 2017. He's added a .280/.351/.525 slash line with 26 home runs, 109 RBI and 77 runs scored through 133 contests.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Saturday's win over Tampa Bay.

Donaldson nearly had two long balls in his return from the paternity list -- his shot off the top of the right-field wall in the first inning ended up a long single after review. Regardless, it was a nice afternoon for Donaldson, who was in the cleanup spot for his first game back.

Freeman isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Twins.

Freeman has hit safely in each of his last six games but will head to the bench for a third consecutive matchup. Amed Rosario is starting at shortstop and batting second. Freeman's time as a near-everyday player for Cleveland may have come to an end.

Kreidler isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Royals.

Kreidler started the last seven games and hit .250 with a home run, a double, three runs, two RBI, three walks and seven strikeouts. Jeimer Candelario will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Donaldson was reinstated from the paternity list and is starting Saturday against the Rays, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Donaldson missed the Yankees' last three games following the birth of his child, but he'll start at third base and bat cleanup Saturday. Over his four games since the start of September, he's gone 2-for-13 with an RBI, three walks and five strikeouts.

Jung started at third base and went 2-for-4 with with a solo home run and stole a base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Jung's contract was selected from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, and the prospect made a much-anticipated debut. He fulfilled the hype by homering in his first at-bat, mashing a Ross Stripling changeup over the fence in left field at a rate of 102.6 mph, and became just the 12th player in MLB history to hit a homer and steal a base in his debut, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Jung wasn't much of a stolen-base threat in the minors, swiping seven bags over 153 games, and has a 40-grade run tool.
