Donaldson went 1-for-4 with grand slam scored in Wednesday's victory over the Rays.

Donaldson hit a walk-off grand slam off lefty reliever Jalen Beeks with nobody out in the 10th inning. The 36-year-old is significantly better on the road with a .817 OPS and nine home runs in 192 at-bats compared to a .554 OPS and three home runs in 158 at-bats at home. Add this third baseman to the list of struggling Yankees as he has a .138 batting average and .241 slugging percentage in 29 at-bats during his last eight games.

Miranda went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Royals.

His first-inning blast off Daniel Lynch proved to be the game-winning hit, thanks to the efforts of Tyler Mahle (shoulder) and the Minnesota bullpen. Miranda is putting together a strong August, batting .322 (19-for-59) through 15 games to boost his slash line on the season to .286/.332/.473 with 12 homers and 51 RBI in 79 contests.

Suarez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 11-7 victory over the Angels.

Suarez contributed two of Seattle's 11 runs in Wednesday's game thanks to a fifth-inning home run that also brought around Mitch Haniger. It was Suarez's 20th homer of the year and his fourth this month. The third baseman's lone hit in the game was his first since Aug. 13. Suarez hit .257 in June, .218 in July, but is batting only .170 so far in August. He struck out twice in Wednesday's game, a problem that has plagued him throughout the year. He has more strikeouts than hits and walks combined this season.

Peraza (hand) has gone 8-for-26 with two home runs and three stolen bases in six games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since returning to the lineup Aug. 10.

Peraza exited an Aug. 7 game early after he was hit in the right hand by a pitch, but he avoided any major damage and was back in action just three days later. The 22-year-old middle infielder is slashing .258/.325/.450 with 17 home runs and 29 stolen bases over his 385 plate appearances for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.

Candelario was removed from Wednesday's lineup against the Guardians due to a non-COVID illness, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Although Candelario was removed from the starting nine ahead of Wednesday's matchup, he'll be available off the bench if needed and will travel back to Detroit with the team following the game. He should be considered day-to-day for now.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The righty-hitting Paredes should be a fixture in the Tampa Bay lineup versus lefty pitching moving forward, but his opportunities against right-handers are expected to take a hit after Tampa Bay brought Harold Ramirez back from the injured list Tuesday. Paredes is on the bench Wednesday for the third time in the past six contests.

Candelario was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Guardians for an undisclosed reason.

It's not yet clear whether Candelario's removal from the lineup was due to an injury, but Kody Clemens will start at the hot corner and bat eighth. Whether Candelario is available off the bench remains to be seen.

LeMahieu (toe) said he'll remain out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, but he's available off the bench and will avoid a stint on the injured list, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

The Yankees are expected to announce multiple roster moves prior to Wednesday's contest, but LeMahieu apparently won't be deactivated to clear a spot for one of the new arrivals. He's seemingly made strides in his recovery from the right big toe inflammation that has kept him out of the lineup since Sunday, and if he incurs no setbacks in the next 24 hours, he said he expects to re-enter the starting nine for Thursday's series finale.

Urias went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.

The multi-hit effort was Urias' first since July 25, ending a 19-game stretched in which he batted just .164. Despite the extended slump, Urias doesn't appear to have lost hold of his near-everyday role at third base. He'll man the hot corner and bat fifth in Wednesday's series finale in Toronto, according to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the White Sox.

Bregman doubled in consecutive plate appearances, and he tallied an RBI and run scored in the third inning. The effort extended Bregman's hitting streak to eight games, during which he's collected three home runs, four doubles, nine runs scored and 10 RBI. For the season, he now owns a .820 OPS, his highest mark since the 2019 campaign.
