Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Ramirez isn't believed to have sustained an injury coming out of Saturday's 6-5 loss, so he'll likely just be getting a maintenance day as he checks out of the lineup for the first time since July 29. Mike Freeman will fill at third base for Ramirez, who is batting a scorching .328/.380/.750 through 17 games in August.

Moncada (hamstring) went a combined 3-for-7 with a home run and two RBI in a doubleheader for Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Moncada started at third base in the opener, then moved to designated hitter for the nightcap, playing every inning in both ends of the twin bill. He's now played three games in two days while on a rehab assignment, which suggests he could rejoin the White Sox in Minnesota for a series against the Twins that kicks off Monday.

Chapman went 3-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI, two runs and a walk during an 8-4 victory over the Astros on Saturday.

The 26-year-old wasn't able to smack another homer, but he did record three hits for the second time in the weekend series against the Astros. He has five extra-base hits in the first three contests of the four-game set. Chapman is batting .263 with 29 home runs, 70 RBI and 79 runs in 449 at-bats this season.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Orioles.

The 22-year-old continues to rake. Devers is slashing .323/.353/.662 with five long balls and 13 RBI this month, and on the year he's now hitting .327 with 26 homers, 97 RBI, 101 runs and eight steals -- all career highs.

LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with two RBI in a 6-5 victory over the Indians on Saturday.

LeMahieu tied the score with an RBI single in the third inning and then hit his 20th homer to right field off Zach Plesac in the fifth to put the Yankees in front 5-4. The 31-year-old not only leads the league in batting average, but he's actually been better in August, hitting .375 with five homers. For the season, he's slashing .338/.386/.538 with 83 RBI in 455 at-bats.

Peterson is out of the starting lineup Saturday against the Red Sox, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Peterson's day off comes after having started 12 straight games over which the outfielder is slashing .262/.319/.524 with two home runs, eight RBI and seven runs scored in 42 at-bats. The 29-year-old owns a .722 OPS in 21 plate appearances against southpaws. DJ Stewart will start in left field and hit seventh against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez on Saturday.

Duffy went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Tigers on Friday.

Duffy produced the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Rays, who were held to five hits overall. The veteran infielder has mostly hit the ground running after finally kicking off his season July 23, as he now has six multi-hit efforts and is slashing a solid .290/.355/.348 over his first 76 plate appearances.

Madrigal went 1-for-5 with an inside-the-park home run for Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Madrigal, the Knights' leadoff batter, scampered around the bases in his first at-bat of the game. It was his first home run since his promotion to Charlotte, and he's slashing .281/.354/.351 in 13 games with his new team.

Moncada (hamstring) went 1-for-5 for Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Moncada kicked off his rehab assignment Friday, serving as the designated hitter for the Knights. The White Sox will want to see how he moves in the field before entertaining thoughts of activating the third baseman off the injured list.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 loss to the Yankees on Friday.

While his teammates combined for just one hit, Ramirez recorded two extra-base hits, including his third homer in two days. Since the All-Star break, Ramirez is batting .333 with 30 extra-base hits -- including 13 home runs -- 39 RBI and 26 runs in 138 at-bats. That's brought his overall numbers up to a respectable level after a horrific first half. Ramirez is batting .253 with 20 homers, 74 RBI, 65 runs and 24 steals in 455 at-bats this season.
