The Yankees placed LeMahieu (hip) on the 10-day injured list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Manager Aaron Boone said the infielder could be ready for a potential ALCS, but his absence will be huge for Sunday's regular-season finale and any potential one-game playoff that follows. Rougned Odor figures to pick up the bulk of LeMahieu's playing time for now.

Bregman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

It appears to be a regular day off for Bregman as the Astros wrap up their regular season and prepare for the ALDS, which begins Thursday. Aledmys Diaz is playing third base and batting fifth Sunday.

Candelario is on the bench for Sunday's season finale against the White Sox.

Barring an appearance off the bench, Candelario finishes the season hitting .235 with a pair of doubles in his last 10 games. Isaac Paredes is starting at third base Sunday.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Royals.

The veteran slugger put the Twins on the board in the first inning, launching a 435-foot solo shot to left field. That would be all the run support Minnesota's staff would need in the shutout win. During Donaldson's current five-game hit streak, he has gone 6-for-18 with a a pair of homers and five RBI. His 26 homers and 74 RBI each ranks third on the team in 2021.

Moncada went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two doubles, two total runs and three total RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win over Detroit.

Moncada plated Chicago's first run in the seventh inning, doubling to right field to score Yasmani Grandal. He produced an even bigger hit in the following frame, homering to left field with a man on base to tally the game-tying and game-winning runs. Moncada has two homers and four RBI over his past four games and is batting .333 (5-for-15) over that span, with all five hits going for extra bases.

LeMahieu (hip) isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Manager Aaron Boone revealed Saturday that LeMahieu has been dealing with a sports hernia, and he received an injection Friday. Boone is optimistic that the 33-year-old will return to the lineup Sunday, but Gio Urshela will shift to third base while Andrew Velazquez starts at shortstop Saturday.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with three RBI, a steal and a run scored in Friday's 9-6 win over the Rangers.

Ramirez knocked a two-run single in the third inning and brought home another run with a base knock in the fourth. After starting the month in an 8-for-41 (.195) skid, the switch-hitting star has gone 22-for-60 (.367) with 15 RBI over the last 17 games. He's now sporting an .896 OPS with 103 RBI and has tied his career high with 110 runs scored.

Chapman will sit for Friday's game against Houston.

Chapman has failed to meet expectations at the plate this season, posting a career-low .718 OPS, and he's been particularly poor recently, recording just one hit and 13 strikeouts across his last seven games. He'll sit Friday, with Josh Harrison taking over at the hot corner.
