Candelario exited Tuesday's game against the Twins with back spasms, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Candelario went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout before leaving the game after the eighth inning. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day for the time being as the severity of the issue is not fully known.

Devers is not in the lineup Tuesday against lefty J.A. Happ and the Yankees, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

Devers hasn't started against a southpaw since returning from a hamstring injury in early September. Brandon Phillips will handle third base Tuesday.

Duffy is not in the lineup Monday against the Rangers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Duffy will head to the bench for Monday's series opener as manager Kevin Cash looks to stack left-handed hitters against righty Adrian Sampson. Joey Wendle will start at third base in his place, with Brandon Lowe picking up a start at the keystone. Duffy is hitting a solid .306/.432/.389 with seven RBI and a stolen base through 11 games in September.

Segura is sitting out Sunday against the Angels, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Segura only recently got over an illness that had kept him out for three consecutive games, so he'll be given some additional time to recuperate following back-to-back starts in which he went 2-for-9 with a walk and two runs. Andrew Romine gets the nod at shortstop in his stead in the series finale.

Ramirez will not start Sunday against the Tigers.

Ramirez will sit for just the fourth time this season. Adam Rosales will get the call at second base.

Duffy went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the A's.

Duffy reached base twice in this one, poking a single in the first frame before walking and stealing second base in the seventh. The 27-year-old now has 11 stolen bases, just one shy of his career high set in 2014. He's also sporting a healthy .297/.360/.369 slash line over 123 games.

Chapman went 3-for-5 with a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Rays.

Chapman collected a pair of singles before taking Sergio Romo deep in the ninth inning for his 23rd homer of the season. The third baseman has now hit safely in 11 of 13 games this month, going 16-for-53 (.302) with a home run and 11 RBI over that stretch.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with three runs, two RBI, a double and a triple in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Tigers.

It's Ramirez's first multi-hit game since Aug. 28, and he was slashing .164/.303/.255 with three extra-base hits over 66 plate appearances in that stretch prior to Saturday. The 25-year-old came up a home run short of the cycle and has a .282 average and .973 OPS with 38 home runs and 101 RBI this season.

Duffy went 1-for-4 with a walk in a loss to the Athletics on Friday.

Duffy missed three starts with back tightness earlier this week, but he was finally healthy enough to resume a full-time role Friday. The hot-hitting infielder has reached safely in eight of nine September games, leading to a .300 average for the month.

Donaldson is not in the lineup against the Tigers on Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Donaldson will head to the bench following his second start with Cleveland on Friday, during which he went 2-for-4 with a solo home run. In his place, Yandy Diaz will pick up a start at third base and bat seventh. Look for Donaldson to return to the lineup Sunday.
