Candelario was held out of Monday's game against the White Sox due to a left thumb injury, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Candelario reportedly suffered the injury during Sunday's matchup in Texas on a swing, though X-rays came back negative. Despite this, skipper Ron Gardenhire hasn't ruled out a trip to the shelf for Candelario. He's set to be re-evaluated Tuesday to determine his availability moving forward, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.

Urshela (leg) is available off the bench if necessary Monday against the Orioles, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Urshela fouled two balls off his leg Sunday against Boston. He avoided structural damage and doesn't appear to be in line for a long absence.

Longoria is not in the lineup Monday against the Nationals.

Longoria returned from a three-week stay on the injured list Sunday, going 1-for-4 in what was his first game since July 14. He'll give way to Pablo Sandoval on Monday as the Giants look to ease him back into action.

Candelario is not in the lineup Monday against the White Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Candelario has had an awful time at the plate over his last 13 games, hitting .098/.207/.118. Harold Castro starts at the hot corner in his absence.

Duffy is not in the lineup Monday against Toronto, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Duffy started 10 straight games since returning from a hamstring injury, posting a mediocre .238/.304/.310 line at the plate. Mike Brosseau will handle the hot corner in his absence.

Davis went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a walk Sunday in the Mets' 13-2 win over the Pirates.

Davis and Michael Conforto both left the yard in the top of the first inning to stake the Mets to an early lead they wouldn't relinquish. Victors of nine of their last 10 games, the Mets enter Monday's doubleheader versus the Marlins just one game under .500, with Davis' efforts during that stretch aiding the resurgence. Over the past 10 contests, Davis has gone 11-for-30 (.367 average) with two home runs, seven RBI, five runs and a 6:8 BB:K. He'll man left field and bat fifth in the first game of Monday's twin bill and should be locked into a full-time role for the duration of Dominic Smith's (foot) stay on the injured list.

Urshela was pulled from Sunday's game against the Red Sox after fouling a ball off his leg twice earlier in the contest, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. After exiting, he underwent X-rays on his leg, which returned negative.

Urshela managed to remain in the contest immediately after fouling a ball off his own leg on back-to-back pitches, but he was ultimately lifted. Skipper Aaron Boone noted that while scans cleared Urshela of any structural damage, the third baseman is still experiencing soreness. His status will thus be worth keeping an eye on heading into Monday's series opener in Baltimore.

Muncy went 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, three runs scored and three RBI in Sunday's walk-off win over San Diego.

Muncy put the Dodgers on the board with a solo shot in the second inning, but his biggest hit came with a pair of runners on base in the ninth. After battling Padres closer Kirby Yates to a full count and fouling off a pair of splitters, he lined a fastball into the right field corner to plate the winning runs. The walk-off hit was the first in the regular season in Muncy's career, though he cemented a spot in baseball lore with his 18th-inning walk-off homer to defeat Boston in game three of the World Series last year. Through 447 plate appearances this season, the 28-year-old is slashing .265/.371/.528 with 27 home runs and 74 runs batted in.

Peterson went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored Sunday against Toronto.

Peterson kicked off the scoring in this one with a single to left field, setting the tone early for his club. The 29-year-old has appeared in 10 games since being recalled July 25, though he's hitting just .184 (7-for-38) with four RBI.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Giants.

Arenado launched his first homer in the first inning before tacking on an insurance run with his second long ball in the fifth frame. The perennial MVP candidate is up to 24 home runs in 2019. He's approaching his fifth straight season with at least 30 homers and 100 RBI.
