Candelario is not in the lineup Monday against the White Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Candelario has had an awful time at the plate over his last 13 games, hitting .098/.207/.118. Harold Castro starts at the hot corner in his absence.

Duffy is not in the lineup Monday against Toronto, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Duffy started 10 straight games since returning from a hamstring injury, posting a mediocre .238/.304/.310 line at the plate. Mike Brosseau will handle the hot corner in his absence.

Urshela was pulled from Sunday's game against the Red Sox after fouling a ball off his leg twice earlier in the contest, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. After exiting, he underwent X-rays on his leg, which returned negative.

Urshela managed to remain in the contest immediately after fouling a ball off his own leg on back-to-back pitches, but he was ultimately lifted. Skipper Aaron Boone noted that while scans cleared Urshela of any structural damage, the third baseman is still experiencing soreness. His status will thus be worth keeping an eye on heading into Monday's series opener in Baltimore.

Peterson went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored Sunday against Toronto.

Peterson kicked off the scoring in this one with a single to left field, setting the tone early for his club. The 29-year-old has appeared in 10 games since being recalled July 25, though he's hitting just .184 (7-for-38) with four RBI.

LeMahieu is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

LeMahieu is presumably just receiving some maintenance after he recently overcame a minor groin strain, which kept him out of the lineup for four games. He started the subsequent three contests -- including both ends of Saturday's doubleheader -- going 6-for-14 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs. Gleyber Torres will fill in for LeMahieu as the Yankees' leadoff man in the series finale.

Duffy will start at third base and bat leadoff Sunday against the Marlins, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

The Rays appear to have at least temporarily committed to Duffy as their main leadoff option against left-handed pitching, as he'll hit atop the lineup for the team's third straight matchup versus a southpaw (Caleb Smith). Duffy has also seen steady action against right-handed pitching over the past two weeks and should be a fixture in the starting nine until the Rays return Yandy Diaz (foot) from the 10-day injured list.

LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a 9-2 win over the Red Sox in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday.

The 31-year-old's outstanding season continued Saturday, as he hit his 16th and 17th homers off Chris Sale. LeMahieu has a .338/.385/.535 slash line in 400 at-bats this season.

LeMahieu (groin) is leading off and starting at second base Friday against the Red Sox.

LeMahieu hasn't played since July 26 due to a minor groin strain, but he'll return to the lineup as expected Friday. The 31-year-old finished July with a .282/.341/.449 slash line over 19 games.

Moncada (hamstring) is expected to miss about two weeks, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Moncada was officially placed on injured list Thursday and will apparently miss more than the minimum 10 days, but not much more. Ryan Goins has been filling in for Moncada at third base.

Bregman went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, two runs batted in and two walks in Thursday's win over Cleveland.

Bregman launched a 403-foot homer to left field in the fourth inning and drove home another run with a single in the seventh. It was the first time he has reached base five times in a game this season, and the three-hit effort was his seventh of the campaign. The 25-year-old is now slashing .265/.400/.531 with 27 home runs and 65 RBI over 473 plate appearances in 2019.
