Devers will sit Friday against the Astros.

Devers sits for the first time in over a month and just the third time all season. He's certainly earned that everyday role, as he's hit .317/.384/.481 through 50 games. Eduardo Nunez starts in his place at third base.

Moncada went 1-for-5 with an RBI double and run scored in Thursday's win over the Astros.

Moncada drove in an RBI double and scored another run to help lift the White Sox to a 4-0 victory. Despite slowing down a bit as of late, the 23-year-old continues to deliver when it counts. His line improves to .279/.337/.500 with 11 doubles, 31 RBI and nine home runs.

Devers finished 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored during Thursday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Devers got a sixth-inning rally started with an RBI double and later drove in another run with an infield single. He has been red-hot since arriving in Toronto, going 8-for-19 with three home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored over the four-game set. Devers now owns an OPS of .865 and will look to keep it up as the road trip shifts to Houston.

LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Orioles.

LeMahieu extended his streak of multi-hit games to four and is 8-for-18 with two homers, seven runs scored and four RBI in that stretch. The 30-year-old has excelled out of the leadoff spot for the Yankees and is slashing .329/.374/.459 in 44 games this season.

Duffy was removed from Wednesday's game with Triple-A Durham after aggravating his left hamstring injury, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Duffy was playing the outfield during his rehab assignment with the Bulls, but apparently aggravated the issue running out a groundball, per Durham broadcaster Patrick Kinas. The 28-year-old had his rehab stint "paused" for a few days a couple weeks ago, but Wednesday's aggravation has potential to be an actual setback. Duffy has been battling the hamstring issue since late February.

Urshela is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Orioles.

Urshela hasn't cooled down after his hot start, hitting .340/.367/.468 over his last 14 games. DJ LeMahieu slides over to third base in his absence, with Thairo Estrada starting at second.

Duffy (hamstring) started in left field in Triple-A Durham's win over Norfolk on Tuesday and went 0-for-4 before being replaced for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning.

It was yet another important step in the recovery process for Duffy, who's played third base, shortstop, designated hitter, and now, left field, during his rehab. The veteran hasn't had much success at the plate in his minor-league outings, but of greater importance is that his balky hamstring has passed all of the tests it's been put through. The earliest date Duffy can come off the injured list is next Monday.

Devers went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk during a 10-3 loss against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Devers is 5-for-8 with two home runs and four RBI to open the series against the Blue Jays. That has raised his average to .320 and his on-base percentage to .390. Devers has posted a .862 OPS with five home runs, 26 RBI, 32 runs and six stolen bases in 178 at-bats this season.

LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a pair of runs in the Yankees' 11-4 win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

This was the third straight multi-hit performance for LeMahieu, raising his average to .325 through 166 at-bats. He exited the game after fouling a ball off his foot, but he's reportedly fine, per Brendan Kuty of The Star-Ledger. LeMahieu still hasn't provided much power with just three home runs, but he does have 10 doubles, so his .440 slugging percentage remains respectable. His strong contact-hitting abilities should allow him to remain a reliable batting average asset throughout the season, and he should also score plenty of runs hitting atop the Yankees' order.

Duffy (hamstring) will play left field during Tuesday's rehab game with Triple-A Durham, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

It seems like the Rays are preparing Duffy for a utility role once he comes off the 60-day injured list. He has also played shortstop in addition to his natural position of third base during this rehab stint. Duffy hit .250/.478/.563 with one home run in 16 at-bats while rehabbing with High-A Tampa.
