Donaldson (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

The veteran misses his second straight game after leaving Saturday's game with a right hamstring issue. It's unclear how much longer Donaldson will be sidelined, or if he might require a trip to the injured list. Luis Arraez starts at third base Monday, and will likely man the position until Donaldson is ready to return.

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

Burger had started each of the last three games, and he went 4-for-11 with a triple, a double, a run and a walk during that time. Gavin Sheets will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth.

Moncada (hand) is batting second and playing third base Monday against the Twins.

A bruised hand kept the third baseman out of all three weekend games against the Tigers, but he returns to begin the series in Minnesota. Moncada went 7-for-20 with two RBI and four walks in his last six games before the injury.

Ramirez (elbow) is batting third and playing third base Monday against the Rays.

Left elbow soreness had sidelined the 28-year-old since Thursday, but he returns for the series opener in Tampa. Before the injury, Ramirez went 7-for-22 with two homers, three doubles and six RBI in his last six games.

Urias went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Angels.

Urias reached in each of his first three plate appearances with a walk, a single and an RBI double. He would end up scoring during a three-run sixth inning during which the Orioles erased a 4-1 deficit. The 27-year-old is slashing .360/.448/.600 with a homer, five RBI and four runs scored in seven games since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and could continue to be a regular fixture in the lineup with Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) out for up to two months.

Burger went 2-for-3 with a walk and a triple in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Tigers.

Burger, who was called up Friday to fill-in for an injured Yoan Moncada (hand), finished off his first series in the majors with his second multi-hit game. He went 4-for-11 with two extra-base hits in his introduction to the show. Moncada took batting practice in the cage Sunday and is expected to be ready to go Monday. That, plus the pending activation of Adam Engel (hamstring) off the 10-day injured list, likely means Burger is headed back to Triple-A Charlotte.

Urshela went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Game 2 of Sunday's 4-2 doubleheader win over the Mets.

Urshela took Mets starter Corey Oswalt deep to left in the second inning to give New York an early 3-0 lead it wouldn't relinquish. The homer extended Urshela's hitting streak to five games, a stretch that's seen him go 6-for-16 with two home runs.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Athletics.

There wasn't much offense in this game, as Devers and Alex Verdugo were the only batters to record extra-base hits. Devers doubled off Deolis Guerra in the ninth inning, threatening to extend the lead. The 24-year-old leads the Red Sox in home runs (20) and RBI (68). He is slashing .285/.354/.570 in 305 plate appearances. He has reached base safely 11 times in his current six-game hitting streak.

Henderson is hitting just .032/.295/.032 across 44 plate appearances since his promotion to High-A Aberdeen.

The highly regarded young shortstop got off to a tremendous start in Low-A, putting up a .312/.369/.574 batting line, but the next level up has presented a far greater challenge, as Henderson has picked up just a single hit since his promotion while striking out in 38.6 percent of his plate appearances. On the bright side, he's also drawn a dozen walks in that time -- almost as many as he'd managed in 157 plate appearances in Low-A. There's plenty to dream on with Henderson, but this speed bump means he's not likely to race through the minor-league ranks.

Rendon (hamstring) may be unavailable Monday but isn't believed to be dealing with a serious injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon exited Sunday's win over the Orioles in the top of the sixth inning due to left hamstring tightness, but manager Joe Maddon sounded optimistic about the third baseman's status after the game. Jose Rojas or Phil Gosselin could see time at the hot corner if the 31-year-old misses any additional time, but he's considered day-to-day for now.
