Duffy left Monday's game against the Rangers with an undisclosed injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Additional information regarding the severity and type of injury that Duffy experienced should become available in the near future. Duffy had to be pulled during the game's first inning after appearing to be in pain while running the bases.

Rendon (toe) is out of the lineup for the third straight day Monday against the Mets, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

Rendon has been out since fouling a pitch off his toe Friday. His X-rays were negative, which suggests he shouldn't be out long, but he remains out of the lineup. Wilmer Difo will again start at third base in his place.

Robinson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Robinson, who is 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts in his previous three games, will head to the bench for a second straight contest as the Rays send out a lefty starter (Blake Snell). In his place, right-handed Carlos Tocci will start in center field and hit ninth.

Peterson signed a major-league contract with the Yankees on Monday.

Peterson is set to rejoin the Yankees after being designated for assignment by the team last week and subsequently electing to become a free agent. He is expected to be with the Yankees for their two-game series against the Marlins, which starts Monday. The 27-year-old, who went 3-for-9 in two games with the Yankees earlier in the year, will occupy a bench role during his time with the big club.

Peterson chose to become a free agent after clearing waivers Sunday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

Peterson has elected free agency after appearing in just two games for the Yankees this season. He went 3-for-9 with a walk in two games.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

Machado drove in his team's only run, as the Orioles couldn't manage to produce at the plate against Chris Sale. Machado has started the season on a strong note, as he owns a .308/.392/.523 line with three home runs after playing 16 games.

Robinson is not in the lineup Sunday against the Astros.

Over the last three games, Robinson has gone 0-for-11 and struck out nine times, bringing his batting average down to .167 for the year. He'll head to the bench while Carlos Tocci starts in center field.

Alvarez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

With southpaw Chris Sale on the hill for Boston, the left-handed Alvarez will take a seat to start the game. Anthony Santander and Craig Gentry will start in the outfield while Adam Jones shifts to designated hitter.

Rendon (toe) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

Rendon will be withheld from the lineup for a second consecutive game after fouling a pitch off his toe Friday. The injury isn't expected to sideline him for long, but the team will exercise caution with its star third baseman in the interim. Wilmer Difo will handle third base duties in his absence.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored Saturday against the Padres.

Longoria took Clayton Richard deep in the fourth inning for his second home run of the season. He's been largely ineffective at the plate with his new team, highlighted by 17 strikeouts and one walk in 51 at-bats. He has shown some signs of life of late, posting two multi-hit games over his past three appearances so he may be in for a nice run soon.
