Devers went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 6-1 win over Oakland.

The 25-year-old delivered a massive 439-foot, three-run shot to right center during the fourth inning to put the Red Sox up 6-0, extending his homer streak to three games. Devers' 15 home runs for the season is tied for sixth in the American League, and he also has a .332/.369/.609 slash line, 23 doubles and 38 RBI.

Rendon was removed from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers after aggravating his right wrist injury.

Rendon spent two weeks on the injured list with right wrist inflammation before being reinstated to the active roster Friday, but he aggravated the issue Tuesday during his fourth game back. The severity of the injury this time around is unclear, and it remains to be seen if the 32-year-old will require a return trip to the injured list.

Longoria (hamstring) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Royals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria has been held out since Friday due to tightness in his left hamstring, but he'll rejoin the lineup Tuesday. The 36-year-old still made two appearances off the bench, so the injury never appeared to be a serious concern.

Burger (hand) will return Friday against the Astros at the earliest, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Burger was hit in the hand by a pitch Monday against the Tigers and wound up leaving the game. He's out of the lineup Tuesday and will remain out Wednesday as well, as the White Sox want to take advantage of Thursday's scheduled off day to give him a full three days off to rest his hand.

Candelario (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Candelario was cleared to head out on the minor-league assignment after he checked out fine when he completed agility drills Tuesday at Comerica Park. He'll most likely stay with Toledo through the weekend, but if all goes well, Candelario could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list and reclaim everyday duties at third base when the Tigers begin a series in Boston on Monday.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Hayes went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts during the matinee and will head to the bench while in the midst of a 2-for-20 slump. Hoy Park will start at the hot corner in Hayes' place during Game 2.

Arenado is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The 31-year-old went 0-for-4 during the matinee and will take a seat for Game 2 of the twin bill. Brendan Donovan will man the hot corner in Arenado's place and bat second.

Peterson will start at third base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Peterson briefly lost hold of a regular starting role June 8 when Willy Adames made his return from the 10-day injured list, but Kolten Wong (calf) was deactivated three days later to reopen playing time in the infield. The 32-year-old Peterson will pick up his fifth start at third base in six games Tuesday and should play often against right-handed pitching until Wong is back from the IL.

Freeman is hitting just .220/.333/.319 with three homers, two steals and a 10:18 BB:K through 35 games for Triple-A Columbus.

While no one expected Freeman to muscle up and start hitting homers in bunches, he's been utterly punchless this season. It's been particularly bad over his last 16 games, in which Freeman has managed a brutal .175/.307/.270 line with a couple home runs and no other extra-base hits. Generally considered something of a doubles machine, the 23-year-old hasn't hit a two-bagger since way back on May 19. The only positives to take away from this season so far are that Freeman has kept his strikeout rate low and that his BABIP is an unlucky .233. If he can get back to what made him successful in the lower levels of the minors, Freeman could grow into a contact-heavy starter at second base, but this season has mostly been a step backward so far.

Madrigal (groin) remains on the bench Tuesday against the Padres.

Madrigal exited Friday's game against the Yankees with groin tightness and hasn't played since then. He's seemingly still day-to-day, as he hasn't been placed on the injured list, but he'll sit here for the fourth straight game as Jonathan Villar remains the starter at second base.
