LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 6-3 extra-inning win against the Astros on Sunday.

The Yankees entered the seventh inning of the contest without a hit one day after being no-hit by a trio of Houston pitchers. Giancarlo Stanton broke the spell with a solo homer in the seventh, and LeMahieu followed with a two-run blast in the eighth that tied the score 3-3. It was the infielder's fourth homer in June and seventh overall this season. LeMahieu is slashing .303/.425/.515 with a pair of long balls, five RBI, five runs and a 7:4 BB:K over his past 10 games.

Bride (shoulder/face) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Though Bride wasn't diagnosed with a concussion after he collided with teammate Chad Pinder during Sunday's win over the Royals, the rookie sustained a right shoulder injury as well as a facial laceration. He'll need at least one day to heal up from the injuries, allowing Nick Allen and Sheldon Neuse to pick up starts at second base and third base, respectively.

Paredes went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

While making his fifth start in six games Sunday, Paredes continued his sizzling ways at the plate. Over those five starts, Paredes has produced an otherworldly 2.093 OPS and seven extra-base hits (five home runs and two doubles) in 21 plate appearances. Paredes' hot streak is likely enough for him to hold down a regular role in the Tampa Bay lineup for the time being, with the 23-year-old capable of filling in at first base, third base or second base.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Red Sox.

Ramirez hadn't posted a multi-hit effort since June 15 -- the seven-game stretch without such a performance was his second-longest of the year. Despite the third baseman's good game, his teammates couldn't provide enough offense to make the contest competitive. Ramirez is slashing .303/.388/.618 with 16 home runs, 63 RBI, 45 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, 23 doubles and four triples in 66 games overall.

Toro went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Angels.

Toro entered the game after a benches-clearing brawl in the second inning, taking over at second base when Dylan Moore moved to shortstop to cover for the ejection of J.P. Crawford. It was Toro who opened the scoring with a sixth-inning solo shot, but that was the extent of the Mariners' scoring. The 25-year-old is struggling at the plate lately, going 4-for-34 (.118) in his last 11 games, with his homer Sunday accounting for his lone extra-base hit in that span. He's seen his slash line dip to .169/.219/.323 with seven long balls, 18 RBI, 21 runs scored and a stolen base in 210 plate appearances. He could see a short-term boost in playing time depending on how the suspensions are doled out from Sunday's brawl, but Toro's been trending toward an infield depth role with his poor hitting in June.

Duffy was removed from Sunday's game against the Mariners in the top of the fourth inning due to lower back tightness.

Duffy went 0-for-1 with a strikeout to begin Sunday's matchup, but he was replaced defensively in the top of the fourth inning. The 31-year-old should tentatively be considered day-to-day prior to Monday's series opener against the White Sox.

Bride isn't dealing with a concussion after exiting Sunday's game against the Royals, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bride was involved in a collision in shallow right field in the bottom of the sixth inning and was officially removed from the game in the seventh. Manager Mark Kotsay said after the game that the 26-year-old suffered a right shoulder injury and had a laceration on his nose but isn't dealing with a concussion. It's not yet clear whether Bride will be available for Monday's series opener against the Yankees.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa said he remains hopeful Moncada (hamstring) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday against the Angels when first eligible, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Moncada is on the IL for the second time this season, but his strained right hamstring appears to be a much less significant concern than the strained oblique that kept him on the shelf for six weeks. The White Sox appear confident that Moncada will be able to return from the IL without requiring a minor-league rehab assignment, though whether he's activated Tuesday may hinge on how he looks during a workout Monday.

Bride was removed in the seventh inning of Sunday's game against the Royals due to an apparent injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. He went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run prior to his departure.

According to Gallegos, Bride suffered the injury in question in the bottom of the sixth inning, when he was involved in a collision in shallow right field with Chad Pinder. Though neither player was able to corral the fly ball, the Royals' Edward Olivares made the final out trying to advance to second base, so Bride wasn't formally removed from the game until an inning later. Gallegos notes that Bride appeared to be bleeding out of his nose after colliding with Pinder, so the rookie could be dealing with a head injury and may be sent in for concussion testing.

Candelario is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

In his first four games since returning from the injured list Monday, Candelario went 4-for-16 with four strikeouts. He still appears to have a hold on the Tigers' everyday third-base job, but he'll give way to Harold Castro in the series finale.
