Davis exited the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees with an apparent injury, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Davis grounded into a double play to end the sixth inning, and he subsequently left the game with a trainer. The nature and severity of the issue aren't yet known.

Urshela (elbow) is starting at third base and batting fifth in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Urshela didn't start Game 1 but came off the bench and went 1-for-3 with a walkoff RBI single. The fact he's still starting the nightcap after seeing significant time during the matinee bodes well for his status going forward.

Manager Rick Renteria suggested that Moncada (upper leg) may return to the lineup in Monday's series opener versus the Twins, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Moncada was out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, though Renteria indicated that the 25-year-old would be available off the bench. In any case, the left leg injury that Moncada aggravated Saturday doesn't look to be a major concern, though fantasy managers may still want to confirm that he's in the lineup Monday before deploying him in weekly leagues.

Candelario went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Twins.

Candelario took Kenta Maeda deep in the fourth inning for his fourth home run of the season. The Detroit first baseman is 8-for-17 with two home runs across his last five games and now has an .866 OPS this year, making his slow start to the 2020 campaign look like a distant memory.

Nevin, Terrin Vavra and a player to be named later were traded from the Orioles to the Rockies in exchange for Mychal Givens on Sunday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Nevin has been at the Rockies' alternate training site this season and will now be joining a new organization. The 23-year-old spent the 2019 campaign at the Double-A level and slashed .251/.345/.399 with 13 homers and six stolen bases in 130 games.

Moncada (upper leg) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Danny Mendick will step in at third base for Moncada, who was removed from Saturday's 9-6 loss with the upper-leg injury. Moncada has been playing through the injury for a few weeks, but the White Sox are seemingly viewing him as day-to-day, hoping that a day off or two will help resolve the matter.

Urshela (elbow) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.

The 28-year-old hasn't seen game action since Wednesday's doubleheader as he continues to deal with a bone spur in his elbow. According to James Wagner of The New York Times, manager Aaron Boone said Urshela is expected to be back in the lineup for Sunday's nightcap.

Madrigal went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 9-6 loss to Kansas City.

Madrigal was activated from the injured list Friday but did not play in that night's game. He's expected to the be the primary second baseman moving forward, but the White Sox got quality work out of Danny Mendick as a fill-in, so manager Rick Renteria would not be shy about pulling Madrigal if he struggles at the dish.

Escobar went 1-for-3 with a walk and a triple in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Giants.

Escobar, who led the Diamondbacks with 10 triples in 2019, hit his second of 2020. More than other struggling Arizona hitters, Escobar's production dip in 2020 is the most noticeable. His career-best .831 OPS of 2019 sits at .600 following Saturday's contest. Nothing glaring stands out as an obvious root cause, though he's hitting fewer fly balls and more grounders. This may also be a case of an unlucky hitter -- Escobar's BABIP is at .209.

Chapman went a combined 3-for-6 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's doubleheader against Houston.

Chapman knocked in both Oakland runs in the matinee and drove in another with a solo shot in the nightcap. The third baseman has 10 homers and 25 RBI on the season while slashing .252/.298/.580.
