LeMahieu is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

He is hitting .327/.380/.561 with six home runs in 25 games since the All-Star break. The Yankees' remarkable infield depth, even when they are not at full strength, will result in LeMahieu getting a day off here and there. Breyvic Valera will start at second base while Gleyber Torres starts at designated hitter.

Escobar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Escobar extended a hitless streak to 15 at-bats before a sixth-inning single that preceded his solo shot in the eighth. It was Escobar's 26th home run in 2019. Since the All-Star break, he's knocked in 27 runs in 27 games, placing him among the leaders in RBI (94, second in MLB).

Longoria went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in a win over Philadelphia on Sunday.

Longoria got the Giants off to a quick start with a two-run single in the first inning, then singled and scored in both the third and eighth frames. The 33-year-old has five hits in his last seven at-bats, driving in four runs over the two-game stretch. On the season, he is slashing .249/.320/.449 with 14 homers and 43 RBI in 338 plate appearances.

Peterson went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a triple, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Astros.

Peterson drove in a run in the first inning with a double to right field, and he ended his day with an RBI triple to center. The 29-year-old has pieced together a .254/.274/.424 slash line with two homers and 10 RBI over 16 games.

Rendon went 4-for-5 with two runs scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Rendon didn't improve on his 90 RBI or 58 extra-base hits, but the four-hit day bumped his slash line to .320/.404/.607 as he remains one of the most lethal batters of 2019. It was his first four-hit game since June of last season, and he's now 12-for-34 (.353) with seven runs scored in August.

Arenado is not in Sunday's lineup against the Padres.

This is the first game he has missed since July 25. He is hitting .346 with four home runs in 14 straight starts. Ryan McMahon will start at third base and hit fifth.

Duffy is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He is hitting .245/.310/.345 with zero home runs and zero steals in 53 at-bats this season. Mike Brosseau will start at third base and hit sixth.

Urshela went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Saturday's loss to Toronto.

Urshela slugged a 424-foot blast to center field in the sixth inning to notch his sixth home run in his last five games. Since the start of July, the 27-year-old is hitting .356 with 11 homers and 23 RBI in 101 at-bats. Over that span, he has collected 36 hits, 23 of which have gone for extra bases.

Longoria went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

Longoria was moved down to fifth in the order after going 0-for-5 in Friday's loss, but the veteran responded with his 14th long ball of the season. It was the 33-year-old's first homer since returning from the injured list Aug. 4, and he has gone 6-for-23 (.261) in six starts over that span.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Padres.

His solo shot in the fourth inning extended his current hitting streak to a modest seven games, during which Arenado is slashing .417/.444/.917 with four homers and six RBI. The All-Star third baseman is having another impressive fantasy campaign, hitting .308 with 26 home runs, 87 RBI and 75 runs through 116 games.
