LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Yankees' 8-7 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

LeMahieu's torrid month of June rolls on, as he posted a fourth straight multi-hit game in this contest -- a stretch that has seen him go 11-for-16 with three homers and six RBI. For the month, the veteran is slashing .373/.418/.637 with six long balls, per Lindsey Alder of The Athletic. Perhaps most impressively, LeMahieu is also hitting a league-best .478 with runners in scoring position, allowing him to rack up 54 RBI despite primarily acting as the leadoff hitter in his first season with the Yankees.

Candelario was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

Dawel Lugo was sent to Triple-A following Tuesday's loss to the Rangers, opening up a spot on the roster for Candelario to rejoin the Tigers after a brief stay in the minors. The 25-year-old Candelario slashed .333/.364/.595 with two home runs and 11 RBI during his most recent stint with the Mud Hens (10 games). He'll look to carry that momentum back to the majors, where he's hitting just .179 with a .546 OPS through 42 games this season.

Moncada exited Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to a right knee contusion.

Moncada sustained the injury when he was hit by a Chris Sale offering during his first at-bat of the afternoon. While early indications are that the infielder avoided a potentially more serious injury, he'll continue to be evaluated in the coming days before the White Sox determine his status for Friday's series opener against the Twins. Consider Moncada day-to-day for now.

Moncada was removed from Wednesday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent injury, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Moncada was hit by a pitch in the right knee during his first at-bat. While he initially stayed in the game and took his base, the infielder was eventually replaced by a pinch runner (Yolmer Sanchez). Specifics regarding the injury should emerge once Moncada is further evaluated in the coming days.

Devers went 4-for-4 with three doubles, two runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

With Andrew Benintendi (undisclosed) sitting out, Devers occupied the two hole for just the third time all season and turned in a huge performance. He's now hitting .300 with an .870 OPS in June, which includes 12 extra-base hits in 22 games. He'll get another turn as the No. 2 hitter in the series finale Wednesday while Benintendi remains on the bench.

Ramirez went 2-for-2 with two doubles, a pair of walks, an RBI and a run Monday in the Indians' 3-2 win over the Royals in 10 innings.

Ramirez pushed his season on-base percentage over .300 with the big day at the dish, but one quality performance shouldn't be taken as evidence that he's broken out of the slump he's been stuck in since the second half of 2018. Over 21 games in June, Ramirez is slashing a lowly .228/.284/.354 with only six extra-base hits (one home runs). His 4-for-4 success rate on stolen-base attempts has been the only salvation for fantasy managers during that stretch.

Devers returned to the lineup and went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 win over the White Sox.

Devers was hampered by a hamstring injury that forced him out of the starting lineup for all three games against the Blue Jays over the weekend, although he made two pinch-hit appearances. He was back at third base and batted fourth.

LeMahieu went 4-for-4 with two runs and a walk in the Yankees' 10-8 victory over the Blue Jays on Monday.

LeMahieu continued his red-hot hitting, reaching base in all five of his plate appearances and posting his first four-hit day in pinstripes, giving him seven knocks in his last eight at-bats. The torrid stretch has the veteran's slash line up to .331/.380/.495 to go along with 10 homers and 51 RBI through 293 at-bats.

Moncada went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 6-5 loss to Boston.

Moncada got the White Sox on the board early with his two-run blast in the second inning. The 24-year-old infielder's breakout season keeps getting better. His slash line is up to .299/.352/.522 with 13 homers and 42 RBI.

Devers (hamstring) is back in action as expected Monday against the White Sox, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Devers hadn't started since leaving Wednesday's game with hamstring tightness, though he did appear twice off the bench. He'll hit cleanup and play third base against Chicago.
