Longoria is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Longoria will take a seat for Wednesday's series finale after starting the past three games and going 2-for-12 with a trio of strikeouts and a run scored. In his place, Pablo Sandoval is starting at the hot corner and hitting third.

Moncada exited Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to a right knee contusion.

Moncada sustained the injury when he was hit by a Chris Sale offering during his first at-bat of the afternoon. While early indications are that the infielder avoided a potentially more serious injury, he'll continue to be evaluated in the coming days before the White Sox determine his status for Friday's series opener against the Twins. Consider Moncada day-to-day for now.

Moncada was removed from Wednesday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent injury, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Moncada was hit by a pitch in the right knee during his first at-bat. While he initially stayed in the game and took his base, the infielder was eventually replaced by a pinch runner (Yolmer Sanchez). Specifics regarding the injury should emerge once Moncada is further evaluated in the coming days.

Devers went 4-for-4 with three doubles, two runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

With Andrew Benintendi (undisclosed) sitting out, Devers occupied the two hole for just the third time all season and turned in a huge performance. He's now hitting .300 with an .870 OPS in June, which includes 12 extra-base hits in 22 games. He'll get another turn as the No. 2 hitter in the series finale Wednesday while Benintendi remains on the bench.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Orioles.

Machado received a standing ovation in his return to the city where he spent the first seven years of his career, and he looked right at home Tuesday at Camden Yards. The 26-year-old currently has a 12-game hit streak in which he is 25-for-53 (.471 average) with six doubles and six home runs.

Muncy is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Muncy sits against southpaw Robbie Ray. Austin Barnes moves out to second base in his absence, with Will Smith serving as the catcher.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a walk and three RBI in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

The three RBI matched Muncy's total from the previous eight games combined, but that was mostly a result of the hitters in front of him not getting in scoring position as often. Muncy remained an on-base machine over that stretch, slashing .296/.441/.444 while striking out just four times.

Ramirez went 2-for-2 with two doubles, a pair of walks, an RBI and a run Monday in the Indians' 3-2 win over the Royals in 10 innings.

Ramirez pushed his season on-base percentage over .300 with the big day at the dish, but one quality performance shouldn't be taken as evidence that he's broken out of the slump he's been stuck in since the second half of 2018. Over 21 games in June, Ramirez is slashing a lowly .228/.284/.354 with only six extra-base hits (one home runs). His 4-for-4 success rate on stolen-base attempts has been the only salvation for fantasy managers during that stretch.

Devers returned to the lineup and went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 win over the White Sox.

Devers was hampered by a hamstring injury that forced him out of the starting lineup for all three games against the Blue Jays over the weekend, although he made two pinch-hit appearances. He was back at third base and batted fourth.

LeMahieu went 4-for-4 with two runs and a walk in the Yankees' 10-8 victory over the Blue Jays on Monday.

LeMahieu continued his red-hot hitting, reaching base in all five of his plate appearances and posting his first four-hit day in pinstripes, giving him seven knocks in his last eight at-bats. The torrid stretch has the veteran's slash line up to .331/.380/.495 to go along with 10 homers and 51 RBI through 293 at-bats.
