  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Twins' Gio Urshela: Sits front end of twin bill

    Urshela is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader in Cleveland.

    Jose Miranda will pick up the start at third base in the matinee, but Urshela should check back into the lineup for the second game of the day. Urshela, who went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs in the Twins' 11-1 win Monday in the series opener, had started in every game for Minnesota dating back to June 12.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Reaches base three times

    LeMahieu went 1-for-3 with two runs scored, two walks and a stolen base in Monday's 9-5 win over the Athletics.

    LeMahieu walked and scored in both the fifth and seventh innings Monday. He also stole his second base of the year and his first since May 2. After hitting .229 in May, the veteran infielder is 22-for-82 (.268) with 16 runs scored and six extra-base hits in 23 games this month. LeMahieu is slashing .261/.256/.403 on the year.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Suspended five games

    Rendon (wrist) received a five-game suspension for his role in Sunday's brawl with the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Rendon is out for the season due to a wrist injury, so he will be forced to serve his suspension to begin the 2023 campaign. Rendon will also be prohibited from sitting in the Angels' dugout for the next seven games.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Nearing return

    Urias (oblique) took early batting practice and also fielded groundballs prior to Monday's game against the Mariners, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

    Urias has been out since June 10 but has ramped up his recovery significantly within the last week. Silver further reported that Urias is "closing in on a return," so he will presumably not require a rehab assignment. Prior to going down, Urias recorded a .225/.273/.387 line across 188 plate appearances while serving as Baltimore's primary third baseman.

  • Matt Duffy 3B | TEX

    Angels' Matt Duffy: Lands on injured list

    Duffy was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to lower-back spasms.

    Duffy exited Sunday's game against Seattle due to the injury, which is evidently serious enough to knock him out for at least 10 days. Matt Thaiss was recalled to take his place on the roster while David MacKinnon is starting at third base in his place.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    White Sox's Jake Burger: Day off Monday

    Burger isn't starting Monday's game against the Angels.

    Burger started in the last five games and went 4-for-19 with a triple, two RBI, a run and five strikeouts. Josh Harrison will shift to the hot corner while Lenyn Sosa starts at second base Monday.

  • Tyler Nevin 3B | ATH

    Orioles' Tyler Nevin: Remains on bench Monday

    Nevin isn't starting Monday's game against the Mariners, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Nevin went just 1-for-16 with two runs, five walks and five strikeouts over his last six games and will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive matchup. Jonathan Arauz is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Slugs clutch homer

    LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 6-3 extra-inning win against the Astros on Sunday.

    The Yankees entered the seventh inning of the contest without a hit one day after being no-hit by a trio of Houston pitchers. Giancarlo Stanton broke the spell with a solo homer in the seventh, and LeMahieu followed with a two-run blast in the eighth that tied the score 3-3. It was the infielder's fourth homer in June and seventh overall this season. LeMahieu is slashing .303/.425/.515 with a pair of long balls, five RBI, five runs and a 7:4 BB:K over his past 10 games.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | TEX

    Athletics' Jonah Bride: Takes seat after collision

    Bride (shoulder/face) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Though Bride wasn't diagnosed with a concussion after he collided with teammate Chad Pinder during Sunday's win over the Royals, the rookie sustained a right shoulder injury as well as a facial laceration. He'll need at least one day to heal up from the injuries, allowing Nick Allen and Sheldon Neuse to pick up starts at second base and third base, respectively.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Raps out three hits in win

    Paredes went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

    While making his fifth start in six games Sunday, Paredes continued his sizzling ways at the plate. Over those five starts, Paredes has produced an otherworldly 2.093 OPS and seven extra-base hits (five home runs and two doubles) in 21 plate appearances. Paredes' hot streak is likely enough for him to hold down a regular role in the Tampa Bay lineup for the time being, with the 23-year-old capable of filling in at first base, third base or second base.
