Devers is playing through right forearm discomfort, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Devers was visibly uncomfortable while whiffing at fastballs in Game 1 against Tampa Bay, fueling speculation about an injury. The issue seems unlikely to keep him out of the lineup for however long Boston remains in the postseason, but it could certainly hurt his production at the plate.

Urshela will bat seventh and play third base in Tuesday's wild-card matchup against the Red Sox.

Urshela will be playing through some pain after crashing into the Rays' dugout while making a defensive play Sunday, but he isn't dealing with anything that will keep him off the field. He'll move back to third base, the position he occupied for the bulk of the season, with Andrew Velazquez starting at shortstop.

Manager Aaron Boone confirmed Monday that Urshela (thigh) is expected to play in Tuesday's AL WIld Card Game against Boston, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Urshela exited Sunday's season finale with a bruised thigh after crashing into the Rays' dugout while making a defensive play. He said after the game that he expected to be ready to go Tuesday, and that now appears to be all but confirmed. Boone said Urshela was still sore but is in a good enough place that he'd probably be in the lineup even if the game occurred Monday rather than Tuesday.

Nevin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 12-4 loss to Toronto.

The 24-year-old got Baltimore on the board in the third inning with his first major-league homer. Nevin hit safely in all three games he started since he received a late-season call-up. He could be in the mix for a big-league job in spring training, but he'll need to show better than the .227/.305/.392 slash line he posted across 111 games with Triple-A Norfolk this year.

Devers went 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs, four RBI and three total runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over Washington.

The third baseman got Boston on the board with a solo shot in the fourth inning, then gave his team the lead with a two-run blast in the ninth. He also contributed an RBI single and a run during a three-run seventh. Devers concludes the regular season on a five-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 9-for-24 (.375) with three homers, five RBI and five runs scored. Overall, he has a .279/.352/.538 slash line with a career-high 38 long balls, 113 RBI, 101 runs scored and five stolen bases across 664 plate appearances.

Urshela (thigh) said Sunday that he believes he'll be able to play in Tuesday's AL Wild Card Game against the Red Sox, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Urshela sustained a bruised thigh in Sunday's win over the Rays and was removed from the game in the top of the ninth inning, but he should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's contest. The 29-year-old went hitless in three at-bats prior to his removal Sunday.

Urshela was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays with a bruised thigh, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Urshela was initially able to remain in the game after he ran full speed into Tampa Bay's dugout, but he was replaced defensively in the top of the ninth inning. Manager Aaron Boone said after the contest that the infielder is doing "alright." However, it's not yet clear whether the injury will impact his availability for the AL Wild Card Game on Tuesday.

Urshela was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays with an apparent injury, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Urshela ran full speed into Tampa Bay's dugout while making a catch in foul ground, and he exited the contest after initially remaining in the game. The 29-year-old went 0-for-3 prior to being pulled and should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

Nevin will start in left field and bat seventh Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Nevin will close the season with his third start in four games in left field while Ryan McKenna heads to the bench. Since his call-up from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Nevin has gone 2-for-5 with a double, two walks, two RBI and two runs.

Chapman is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Barring an appearance off the bench, Chapman finishes the season slashing .210/.314/.403 with 27 home runs and 72 RBI. Chad Pinder is starting at third base and batting cleanup Sunday.
