Bregman is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

The 25-year-old has been hot recently, going 11-for-26 with one homer and six RBI over his past seven games, but he will get a breather for the first game of Tuesday's twin bill. Aledmys Diaz is starting at third base, batting seventh.

Duffy went 4-for-4 with three RBI from a pair of run-scoring singles and also drew a walk in a win over the Padres on Monday.

Duffy's perfect night at the plate pushed his average to .298 and served as his second multi-hit effort over the last three games. The veteran infielder is making good use of his opportunities after enduring another extended battle with nagging injuries, and with Yandy Diaz (foot) projected out for the remainder of the season, Duffy's playing time at third base should be locked in.

Urshela went 6-for-9 with a home run, a double and two RBI while crossing the plate four times in a pair of victories over Baltimore on Monday.

Urshela collected a pair of three-hit games in the doubleheader and has now racked up nine multi-hit performances during his current 15-game on-base streak. He has been on an otherworldly tear in August, slashing .476/.522/1.071 with seven homers, 14 RBI and 15 runs scored in 11 games. Needless to say, the 27-year-old has been one of the most pleasant surprises in baseball this season after hitting only .225 in 466 career at-bats prior to 2019.

Newman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored to help the Pirates to a 10-2 victory over the Angels on Monday.

The 26-year-old checked in with his first long ball since July 6, touching up Jose Suarez with a second-inning solo shot. Newman hasn't provided much power this season (this was just his seventh homer in 329 at-bats) but he's emerged as a solid contributor in other categories, as he's hitting .304 with a respectable .347 on-base percentage, and has also chipped in with 10 stolen bases in 15 attempts.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a double in Monday's 6-5 win over Boston.

Ramirez gave Cleveland a 5-1 lead with his three-run homer in the third frame. He's up to 17 on the year with 12 coming since the start of July. The 26-year-old switch-hitter has improved his OPS from .634 to a respectable .767 during that span.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday in the Reds' 6-3 loss to the Cubs.

Though teammate Aristides Aquino has attracted more attention in recent days for his feats as a power hitter, Suarez hasn't been too far behind the rookie's pace lately. Suarez -- who will bat third and start at the hot corner Monday against the Nationals -- will head into the series opener with four home runs in his last five games. with 33 long balls in total this season, Suarez is just one behind his career-best output from 2018 and currently ranks tied for fourth in the National League in the category.

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.
