Urshela went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's win against the Orioles.

The 29-year-old took John Means deep in the third inning, driving in teammate Brett Gardner. The long ball was his 12th of the season. In two games since shifting over to shortstop from third base, Urshela's collected three hits in seven at-bats after having three hits total in his eight games prior.

Chapman (lower leg) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Royals, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Chapman fouled a ball off his shin/ankle area Saturday and will be out of the lineup for a third straight game as a result. The third baseman was feeling slightly better Tuesday but wasn't available, and it's not yet clear whether he could appear as a pinch hitter Wednesday. Josh Harrison will shift to third base while Seth Brown enters the lineup in left field.

Bregman isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman was in the lineup for each of the last five games, and he went 7-for-18 with a home run, a double, six RBI, three runs and two walks during that time. Marwin Gonzalez will start at the hot corner and bat seventh.

LeMahieu went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Orioles.

LeMahieu recorded the Yankees' fifth and final home run of the contest, bringing his own total to 10 on the season. The long ball marked his first extra-base hit in his last 13 starts, though he had at least one hit in 11 of those games and multiple knocks on three occasions. On the campaign, LeMahieu has maintained a .271/.350/.369 line with 76 runs scored and 56 RBI across 625 plate appearances.

Manager Bob Melvin said that Chapman (lower leg) is feeling "a little better" but is not available Tuesday against the Royals, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman is set to miss his second game in a row after fouling a ball off his shin/ankle area Saturday. Despite seeing some improvement, Melvin said that the third baseman is "still kind of locked up and not moving around really well." His status appears to still be a day-to-day situation, and Josh Harrison figures to be the main answer at third base until he's able to return.

Chapman (lower leg) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against Kansas City, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman exited Saturday's loss to Texas after fouling a ball off his left foot/shin area. Despite X-rays coming back negative, the third baseman is absent from the starting nine for the second game in a row. It's not yet clear if he could be an option off the bench Tuesday, and he can be considered day-to-day until further update is given. Josh Harrison will start at the hot corner again Tuesday.

Walls is not starting Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls has gone 2-for-9 with three walks, a run scored and a stolen base while starting the previous three games after being recalled Saturday. Joey Wendle shifts to shortstop Tuesday as Yandy Diaz slots in at the hot corner.

Donaldson is not in the lineup for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

Given Donaldson's injury history, it's no surprise to see that he won't be asked to play two games in one day. Luis Arraez will start at third base in the afternoon contest, but Donaldson should return for the nightcap.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

Devers was the second of back-to-back jacks in the eighth inning, but that's where Boston's rally ended. The blast was the 34th home run of the season for Devers and gives him 103 RBI, tied for third in MLB.

Bregman went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in the win over the Rangers on Monday.

The 27-year-old took reliever A.J. Alexy deep in the sixth inning, driving in teammate Jose Altuve. The homer marked number 10 for him on the season. He has now secured at least one hit in 14 of 16 games since returning from the 10-day injured list Aug. 25. The third baseman has batted .386 with three home runs and 13 RBI over that stretch.
