LeMahieu is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

There has been no word of an injury, so this is presumably a rest day for LeMahieu after he started both games of Saturday's doubleheader. Anthony Rizzo will be in LeMahieu's customary leadoff spot against right-hander Triston McKenzie.

LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks, three total runs and a stolen base in a win over the Guardians in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.

LeMahieu hit one of four Yankees homers in the matinee, going deep to right field in the third inning for the team's first run of the game. He finished with his 17th multi-hit performance of the campaign and added his third stolen base. Though LeMahieu went 0-for-3 in the nightcap, he took a walk to extend his on-base streak to 12 games.

Paredes went 4-for-10 with a double, two home runs, five RBI and four runs scored while starting both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

By homering in both ends of the doubleheader, Paredes upped his total to 13 in just 40 games this season. Eight of those 13 home runs have come in Paredes' last 10 games. Paredes has a .916 OPS, and while it can be dangerous to go chasing hot streaks, this one should at least solidify his playing time for a stretch.

Urias (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias was not initially expected to require a rehab assignment, but he'll get at least one game with Bowie before he's activated from the 10-day injured list. Once the 28-year-old is cleared to return, he'll likely resume a significant role at third base, with Jonathan Arauz and Tyler Nevin likely to see reduced playing time.

Donaldson isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Donaldson started in the last seven games and hit .167 with four doubles, two RBI, a run, three walks and eight strikeouts. DJ LeMahieu is shifting to the hot corner while Matt Carpenter starts at first base.

Toro went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a run in a win over the Athletics on Thursday.

Toro drove in the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly in foul territory in the first inning. His fifth-inning single then plated Jesse Winker to snap a 4-4 tie and give the Mariners a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Toro has now reached safely in six straight games, an encouraging span during which he's produced a .333 batting average and .961 OPS across 20 plate appearances.

Chapman is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay.

An 0-for-3 showing in Thursday's series opener has Chapman hitting .231 with a pair of home runs and eight RBI in his last 10 games. Santiago Espinal starts at third base while Cavan Biggio plays second.

Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Jays.

Paredes took Yusei Kikuchi yard in the fourth inning to tally his 11th homer of the season, with six of them coming in his last seven starts. He's taken over the primary starting role at first base and has likely done enough to maintain everyday at-bats even once the likes of Brandon Lowe (back) return from the injured list.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI on Thursday against the Yankees.

Bregman provided all of Houston's offense with a two-RBI double in the third inning. He has at least one hit in 11 of his last 12 starts, good for a .390 batting average, and has also posted 10 RBI and nine runs scored in that span. Bregman has also raised his batting average to .242 on the season -- its highest mark since May 14.

Miranda went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Thursday against the Guardians.

Miranda accounted for all of the Twins' offensive production with a bases-loaded double in the third inning. He's had an inconsistent role in the lineup since Alex Kirilloff returned, though Miranda has started three consecutive games during which he's tallied four hits with four RBI and a run scored. Overall, Miranda is hitting .240/.275/.418 across 153 plate appearances on the season.
