MLB Player News

Devers was named the American League Player of the Week on Monday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Devers could do no wrong last week, slashing .593/.633/1.185 with three home runs, seven doubles and 11 RBI in six games. The 22-year-old leads the majors in doubles (46), hits (167), RBI (101) and total bases (300).

Moncada (hamstring) is on track to return from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Moncada is scheduled to play nine innings in the field for Triple-A Charlotte on Monday and Tuesday, and if everything goes well, it sounds like the infielder will be cleared to rejoin the White Sox ahead of Thursday's series opener against Texas. Prior to landing on the shelf at the end of July with a hamstring injury, Moncada compiled a .301/.358/.535 triple-slash with 20 home runs and seven stolen bases in 97 games.

Duffy is not in Monday's lineup against the Mariners, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

While Duffy and Mike Brosseau are both right-handed, Brosseau has a more recent track record of crushing lefties, so he will get the start against southpaw Marco Gonzales. Duffy is hitting .260/.329/.312 with zero home runs and zero steals in 20 games this season.

LeMahieu went 2-for-5 Sunday with a home run and three RBI in an 8-4 loss against the Indians.

The 31-year-old just continues to rake, as he posted three multi-hit games against the Indians during the weekend series. He has also homered in each of his last two games. LeMahieu is favored to win another batting title, with his .339 clip, and he has a career-high 21 homers. He also possesses 86 RBI, 87 runs and four steals in 460 at-bats this season.

Devers went 4-for-5 with a double, home run, four RBI and two runs in a 13-7 victory against the Orioles on Sunday.

The 22-year-old became the first MLB player with more than 100 RBI this season with his four runs driven in during the comeback win. He's red hot right now, going 20-for-37 (.541) in his last eight games, which has raised his average almost 20 points in about 10 days. Devers is contributing in multiple categories, though, with a .335 average, 27 home runs, 102 runs and eight steals in 499 at-bats this season.

White Sox manager Rick Renteria said Moncada (hamstring) could return during the series against the Twins that begins Monday, Doug Padilla of the Chicago Sun-TImes reports.

Moncada looks ready to return after going 4-for-12 in the first three games of his rehab assignment before getting the day off Sunday.

Bregman went 4-for-4 with a homer, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.

Bregman's three-run shot in the fifth inning put the Astros on top and ended up being the deciding play of the game. The AL MVP candidate has knocked 30 homers for the second consecutive season and needs just one more to tie his career best of 31. Bregman has 83 RBI and 93 runs scored alongside a .974 OPS.

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.
