Donaldson was ejected during the sixth inning of Thursday's game against the White Sox.

The 34-year-old gave the Twins a 3-2 lead after hitting a solo homer to start the sixth inning, but he was ejected when he kicked dirt on home plate. Donaldson was unhappy about a strike call earlier in the at-bat, and he returned for some additional dirt kicking to express his displeasure before leaving the field.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Rangers.

Bregman has hit safely in four straight contests, going 5-for-14 with two runs, two doubles and three RBI. He appears to be back to normal after a hamstring injury wiped out nearly three weeks. Bregman was initially brought along slowly when activated from the injured list last week, but Wednesday's start was his fifth straight.

LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a walk, a double, three RBI and three runs scored Wednesday against Toronto.

LeMahieu torched the Blue Jays again, this time taking Tanner Roark deep in the first and fourth innings. He now has nine homers on the season, three of which have come in the first two games of the Yankees' series against Toronto. The performance also extended LeMahieu's hitting streak to nine games, during which he's put together three multi-hit efforts. Overall, he has a strong .373/.421/.627 line with 35 runs scored and 22 RBI in 164 plate appearances.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

He'll give way to Sergio Alcantara at third base in the series finale after starting in five of the previous seven contests. Since his Aug. 17 callup, Paredes is slashing .179/.236/.269 over his first 72 plate appearances in the big leagues.

Urshela went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and three runs in a 20-6 victory over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Urshela returned to the starting nine after a minimum stay on the 10-day IL and demonstrated little rust, notching his second three-hit performance of the season. It was technically his fourth straight multi-hit game, though there was a 12-day pause since his previous contest due to the injury. Urshela is hitting a healthy .290/.376/.542 on the season.

LeMahieu went 4-for-6 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and five RBI in Tuesday's 20-6 rout of the Blue Jays.

His eighth-inning solo shot came off shortstop Santiago Espinal, who got pressed into duty on the mound to save the Toronto bullpen, but it still counts all the same for LeMahieu. The 32-year-old extended his hitting streak to eight games with the performance, during which he's slashing .364/.447/.758 with three homers, seven RBI and 11 runs.

Candelario went 3-for-5 with two runs scored during Tuesday's 6-0 victory over the Royals.

Candelario stranded four men on base, but nonetheless had a productive outing. He has raked over his last 15 games, slashing .404/.483/.673 with three home runs. He improved his average to .333 for the season.

Chapman underwent successful surgery to repair a torn right hip labrum and has a four-month recovery timeline, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old finishes 2020 with a .232/.276/.535 slash line, 10 homers and 25 RBI in 37 games. If all goes well in his recovery, Chapman should be healthy for the start of spring training in February, though any minor setbacks could bring a delayed arrival to camp. Jake Lamb is likely to see the bulk of the time at third base for the A's since Chad Pinder (hamstring) is also sidelined.

Reynolds cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to the Royals' alternate training site.

Reynolds was designated for assignment Saturday, but he'll remain in the organization after failing to secure a spot on another 40-man roster. The 29-year-old went 0-for-11 during his four days on the major-league roster this year.

Urshela (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Urshela was sidelined with a bone spur in his right elbow, but he spent the minimum amount of time on the injured list. He participated in a simulated game Monday and will now be available to return to game action. Urshela should resume his role as the Yankees' primary third baseman going forward.
