Donaldson isn't starting Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Donaldson went 2-for-8 with a two-run home run across the last two games. Willians Astudillo will start at third base and bat seventh.

Madrigal isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Madrigal will get a breather after he went hitless with a walk in three at-bats Tuesday. Danny Mendick will start at second base and bat ninth.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rangers.

The Yankees' leadoff man established a new season high in RBI after plating a pair of runs on a fourth-inning double and scoring another on a sixth-inning sacrifice fly. LeMahieu has been running hot over the Yankees' last five games, going 7-for-19 with a 3:3 BB:K, four runs and four RBI.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs scored and two RBI on Tuesday against the Mariners.

Candelario took Justin Dunn yard in his first at-bat of the game to record his fourth home run of the season. He remained productive for the remainder of the contest, driving in a run in the third inning while also racking up his seventh double and subsequently coming around to score in the eighth frame. Candelario is riding a four-game hitting streak and has maintained a .291/.367/.419 line with 15 RBI and 21 runs scored across 40 games for the campaign.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

Ramirez opened up the scoring in a five-run first inning with a two-run blast off Andrew Heaney for his 12th homer of the year. The 28-year-old has historically been a player who starts off slow and finds his groove as the season goes on, but he's been very solid through the first six weeks of the season with a slash line of .264/.349/.583. His 12 long balls are tied for second in baseball as he's also got 27 runs scored, 25 RBI, four stolen bases and an 18:21 BB:K.

Arenado went 2-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

He kick-started the Cards' offense with a first-inning blast off JT Brubaker. Arenado has gone yard in four straight games, giving him 10 homers on the season along with a .307/.362/.583 line that is right on pace with the numbers from his Rockies days.

Senzel's absence from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants is due to knee soreness, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

The injury doesn't appear to be particularly serious, but Senzel will miss at least a start or two. He's a candidate to appear off the bench Tuesday.

Senzel is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Senzel has yet to really get going at the plate this season, hitting .252/.323/.315 with one homer in 124 plate appearances. He's also been successful in just two of his seven steal attempts. Senzel will thus hit the bench after starting two straight games at third base, with Eugenio Suarez shifting to the hot corner and Kyle Farmer starting at shortstop.

Moustakas (heel) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

He'll take a seat for the fourth straight game while he manages a heel injury. Moustakas was able to make an appearance off the bench as a pinch hitter in Monday's 6-3 loss, a sign that the Reds anticipate he won't require a stint on the injured list.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Monday's win over the Rockies.

Machado blasted his sixth homer of the season in the first inning, and he has connected for three of his six long balls during the current month. The star third baseman has hit safely in three of his last four contests while recording six RBI and three runs scored in that four-game span.
