Rojas is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader in Colorado.

Rojas will get a breather after he went 1-for-3 with a walk in the team's 2-1 extra-inning loss in Sunday's matinee. Luis Urias will replace him at the hot corner and bat eighth in the nightcap.

Devers (knee) is expected to rejoin the lineup Tuesday against the Guardians, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

The 27-year-old sat out Sunday for the fourth consecutive game due to a bone bruise in his left knee, but he should return to action following Monday's team off day. It's been a slow start to the season for Devers, who has a .188/.328/.375 slash line with two homers through 58 plate appearances.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that LeMahieu (foot) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.

The veteran infielder was originally expected to begin the rehab stint Friday, but it was pushed back after an MRI showed less healing than expected. LeMahieu has been cleared for game action just a couple days later, however, so it's apparently not a significant issue. He'll likely require at least a handful of games in the minors before joining the Yankees, as he's been sidelined just over a month.

Westburg went 2-for-5 with two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 9-7 win over the Royals.

Westburg remains hot at the plate with an eight-game hitting streak, going 14-for-32 (.438) with four multi-hit efforts in that span. He's picked up all three of his steals this season over his last nine games. The infielder is slashing .319/.373/.565 with four home runs, 16 RBI, 13 runs scored and five doubles over 76 plate appearances in a near-everyday role. Westburg's playing time remains safe.

Chapman went 2-for-2 with a stolen base in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Chapman came off the bench in this contest, but he was still able to earn his fourth multi-hit effort over his last 10 games. The third baseman is slashing .224/.283/.424 with four home runs, two steals, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and five doubles over 92 plate appearances. Saturday's partial off-day looks to just be standard rest for the veteran rather than a response to his lackluster hitting to begin the campaign.

Baty (hamstring) is starting at third base and batting fifth in Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers.

Baty wasn't in the starting lineup for the Mets' last three games due to left hamstring tightness. He was able to pinch hit Saturday at third base in the seventh inning and went 0-for-2. Baty has had a decent start to the season, slashing .295/.348/.361 with one home run and nine RBI over 66 plate appearances.

The Angels placed Rendon on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a hamstring strain.

Rendon suffered the injury during Saturday's game against Cincinnati and will be unavailable for at least the next 10 days. The Halos selected Ehire Adrianza from Triple-A Salt Lake to bolster their infield depth, though it'll likely be Luis Rengifo and Miguel Sano, who is starting Sunday, that fill in at third base.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Athletics.

Ramirez started the first 21 games of the season but will sit for Sunday's series finale versus Oakland, which will give him two straight days since Cleveland has a scheduled day off Monday. The five-time All-Star is off to a slow start in 2024 with a .239/.253/.402 slash line in 95 plate appearances, though he's still tied for fifth in the AL in RBI (18) and tied for sixth in runs (15).

Davis (groin) was cleared to begin walking on a treadmill Friday, the Associated Press reports.

Davis suffered the groin strain last Sunday against the Nationals, so the fact he's already able to do some accelerated walking less than a week later is a good sign. However, Davis has yet to resume any baseball activities, so it remains to be seen if he'll be deemed ready to return when first eligible Thursday.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Devers (knee) could return to action Tuesday against the Guardians, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Devers, who hasn't played since Wednesday, will miss a fourth game in Sunday's finale at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. The Red Sox are off Monday, which will give Devers five days off.
