Kieboom went 4-for-8 with a double, three runs scored and an RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader split with the Mets.

The young third baseman has caught fire over the last week, batting .348 (8-for-23) over his last six games with two homers, four RBI and six runs. The hot streak has pushed Kieboom's slash line on the year up to .248/.344/.419, and a big September would go a long way toward locking him into the starting job at the hot corner for 2022 and beyond.

Urshela (hand) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Urshela hasn't played since Tuesday, when he injured his hand during a defensive play. Even with expanded rosters, the Yankees must expect him back soon, considering they haven't placed him on the injured list. Rougned Odor is playing third base and batting eighth Sunday.

Devers isn't in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against Cleveland.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Saturday and is now hitting .273 with four home runs and nine RBI in his last 10 games. Bobby Dalbec is starting at third base Sunday, with Travis Shaw getting the nod at first.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Boston.

The 28-year-old reached the 20-steal mark for the fourth time in his nine-year career when he stole second in the sixth inning. Ramirez has been one of Cleveland's most productive players this year, adding 32 home runs, 86 RBI, 90 runs scored and a .260/.349/.549 slash line through 524 plate appearances. He'll likely remain in his usual No. 3 spot in the order, as he's started in 27 straight games -- the elbow soreness that bothered him in late July seems to be behind him now.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 10-8 loss to Toronto.

The third baseman continues to tee off lately, with 10 homers in his last 19 games after he managed just 14 in his first 112 contests this year. Chapman's .225 batting average won't turn many heads, but he's posted a reasonable .743 OPS with 67 RBI, 69 runs scored and three stolen bases through 541 plate appearances. If he can finish the year strong, it'll help offset a rather rough first four months.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 win over Cleveland.

With the game deadlocked at 0-0, Devers emphatically altered the score with a three-run homer on a 3-2 count off Blake Parker. The 24-year-old is now working on a five-game hit streak and has hit three home runs off Cleveland pitching in the last seven days.

Moncada isn't starting Saturday against the Royals due to a wrist injury, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Moncada has been experiencing pain in his wrist when he swings from the right side, so he'll be held out Saturday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench or whether he'll return for Sunday's series finale.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in Friday's loss to Houston.

The third baseman drove in San Diego's first run on a third-inning infield single, and he was also part of a successful double steal with Adam Frazier in the seventh. Machado is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, slashing .333/.375/.533 with a home run, three RBI and three doubles over that span. He has racked up 23 homers and 11 steals overall this season, marking the third time in his career he has reached double digits in both categories.

Moncada will sit Saturday against the Royals.

Moncada will get a rest despite the fact that he's riding a 17-game hitting streak. Romy Gonzalez will take over for him at third base.

Senzel went for another opinion on his knee and manager David Bell said Saturday that it's "going to take a while" before Senzel is fully healthy, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

The Reds' skipper said he's unsure whether Senzel will return this season. Reading between the lines, it seems like a long shot, unless the Reds make a deep postseason run. Senzel underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in May and was still noticeably favoring the knee when he hit following his return. Injuries have been a recurring theme for Senzel, and there didn't appear to be a spot for him anyway as he was optioned initially before that option was ultimately rescinded due to the ongoing trouble with the knee.
