Devers went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run in a 13-4 loss to Houston on Tuesday.

Devers opened the scoring with a solo home run in the first off Houston starter Jose Urquidy, doubled and scored in the third and tacked on a single in the fourth for his second three-hit game in his last three. The 25-year-old has an 11-game hit streak going, during which he's 20-for-45 with nine extra-base hits. Devers is currently fifth in MLB with a .333 average.

Duffy was removed from Tuesday's win over the Angels with a facial laceration after colliding with Adolis Garcia during the eighth inning, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Duffy was apparently mostly unaffected from the collision itself, but the ball popped out of his glove and struck him in the face, resulting in the laceration. The 31-year-old appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day.

Candelario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the Rays.

Candelario hit his third home run of the season in the fifth inning, but as has often been the case this year, the Tigers struggled to get much else going offensively. The third baseman has contributed to those struggles at times with his .203 batting average, but he's at least been better in May with a .254 mark for the month. Candelario hit .271 in 2021 and .297 in 2020, so his track record suggests he'll continue trending upward.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Monday.

Suarez offered one of the few noteworthy moments for the Mariners' offense Monday, lacing a 382-foot solo shot to left field in the seventh. The slugger's homer marked his first time leaving the yard since May 6, and he's now hit safely in three of his last four games.

Toro will sit Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Toro isn't the Mariners' primary starter at any one position, but he's been in the lineup more often than not, starting 28 of 37 games thus far. He hasn't exactly hit well enough to be a regular, however, slashing .156/.217/.312 on the year, though that line should rise along with his .140 BABIP.

Lewis will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Tuesday's game in Oakland.

Though MLB.com initially reported that Carlos Correa (finger) was on track to make his return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, the Twins will instead wait at least one more day before adding the star shortstop back to the mix. That clears the way for Lewis to man shortstop for the 11th game in a row, after the star rookie continued to impress in Monday's 3-1 win by reaching base on a double and a walk while coming around to score twice. He's now submitted a .763 OPS over his first 36 big-league plate appearances, giving him a compelling case to stick around with the Twins as a super-utility player once Correa is reinstated.

Walls will not start Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Walls has been in a slump at the plate recently, grabbing just two hits while striking out 14 times across his last 11 games. Yandy Diaz starts at third base Tuesday.

Urshela will sit Tuesday against Oakland.

Urshela has held onto regular playing time even after the arrival of rookies Jose Miranda and Royce Lewis, but the Twins' infield will get crowded once Carlos Correa (finger) returns from the injured list, which is expected to happen soon. Urshela's .226/.280/.330 slash line doesn't make the best case for an everyday role, but his past track record could still keep him in the lineup on a regular basis until he turns things around at the plate. Miranda will be the one to start at the hot corner Tuesday.

Moncada will sit for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

Moncada finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games, though it's no surprise that he won't be asked to start twice in one day just over a week after returning from an oblique injury which cost him over a month at the start of the campaign. Josh Harrison starts at the hot corner in his absence, but Moncada will likely return for the nightcap.

Donaldson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's win over the Orioles.

The 36-year-old launched a solo homer off Felix Bautista in the top of the ninth inning, also adding two singles and a walk earlier in the game. The long ball was Donaldson's fifth of the year and third in his last five contests. Over that stretch, he has batted .381 with seven RBI, adding a double on top of the homers. Donaldson has performed well in the early part of his first season with the Yankees, posting a .246/.358/.439 slash line with five homers and 14 RBI over 114 at-bats this season.
