Miranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Miranda is without a clear path to everyday playing time, but the Twins should continue to carve out a part-time role for the rookie while he's swinging a hot bat. Though he'll be on the bench Tuesday, Miranda had started in six of the Twins' past seven games while going 6-for-22 with two home runs, a double, two walks, seven RBI and three runs.

Devers (back) is batting third as the designated hitter Tuesday in Tampa Bay, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

As expected, Devers is back in the lineup, but manager Alex Cora is being cautious and keeping his best player away from third base. Devers figures to return to full capacity sometime in the next few days, barring any setbacks.

Moncada isn't starting Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus Cleveland.

The struggling infielder went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts against Shane Bieber in the afternoon loss. Josh Harrison will start at third base Tuesday evening.

Candelario isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Candelario went 1-for-8 in Monday's doubleheader and is hitting .194 in 10 games this month. Willi Castro starts at third base Tuesday.

Double-A Corpus Christi reinstated Perez (oblique) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Perez will return to Corpus Christi after he was sidelined for over two months while nursing an oblique injury. The 22-year-old struck out in his only major-league at-bat April 8 and has produced a .196 average with one homer, four RBI and four runs over 51 at-bats with Corpus Christi this season. Before returning from the IL, Perez completed an 11-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Devers (back) is expected to return to the Boston lineup for Tuesday's game at Tampa Bay, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Devers missed a third consecutive game Monday due to back discomfort. Boston manager Alex Cora is not sure if Devers will start back-to-back days during the current series against Tampa Bay due to the turf at Tropicana Field.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday against the White Sox.

Moncada took Cal Quantrill yard in the third inning to record his fourth home run of the season. He has at least one hit in eight of 12 starts since returning from the injured list July 1, but he is still hitting just .216 with seven RBI in that span. Moncada has shown few signs of breaking out of a season-long slump, as he's maintained a .191/.236/.303 line across 161 plate appearances on the campaign.

Bride (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Bride has been sidelined since colliding with teammate Chad Pinder in a late-June game, but he is close to getting back on the field. Bride both hit and threw Monday, and if he responds well his next step will likely be a stint with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Devers (back) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

The Red Sox are continuing to take a day-by-day approach with Devers, who will be on the bench for a third straight game while he contends with a sore lower back. Per Alex Speier of The Boston Globe, manager Alex Cora mentioned over the weekend that he plans to be careful with Devers' usage on the Tropicana Field turf during the four-game series with Tampa Bay, so if the 25-year-old returns to the lineup in the next few days, it may be as a designated hitter.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

With 13 home runs in just 46 big-league games this season, Paredes has emerged as a surprising source of power for Tampa Bay and has stepped into an everyday role as a result. However, after going 1-for-12 with four strikeouts in the Rays' weekend series in Cincinnati, Paredes will get a day off to clear his head. The newly recalled Jonathan Aranda will pick up his second big-league start in place of Paredes, manning second base and batting out of the cleanup spot.
