Peraza is starting at third base and batting leadoff Monday against the Angels, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Peraza didn't start his first game back in the majors Sunday, but he did deliver an RBI single and a stolen base off the bench. His reward is a spot atop the Yankees' lineup Monday.

LeMahieu is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Angels.

LeMahieu will get a breather after he went 6-for-13 with two doubles and two runs scored in the Yankees' series in Colorado. Oswald Peraza will take over at the hot corner and bat leadoff in the series opener in Los Angeles.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Taylor Walls will step in at third base after Paredes manned the hot corner for the final two games of the Rays' series with the Royals over the weekend. Paredes connected on his 17th home run of the season in Sunday's 8-4 win, giving him four long balls in seven games thus far in July.

Devers is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Athletics.

Devers will take a seat for the first time since June 14 as the Red Sox launch their three-game series in Oakland. The third baseman has been red-hot since returning to action following the All-Star break, going 6-for-13 with three solo homers, two doubles and five runs scored over Boston's series in Chicago. Justin Turner will start at third base while Adam Duvall enters the lineup in center field after some shuffling and will bat fifth in the series opener with the Athletics.

Peterson will sit Monday against the Red Sox, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Peterson will remain on the bench for a second consecutive game after he went 2-for-8 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base over Oakland's three-game series with the Twins. Jordan Diaz will draw the start at the hot corner and bat second in the series opener with Boston.

Madrigal (hamstring) took batting practice Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

He fielded some grounders, as well. Madrigal has been on the shelf for nearly all of July with a right hamstring strain but appears to be making progress. It's not clear whether he will require a rehab assignment before returning.

Candelario (thumb) will start at third base and bat third Monday against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Candelario was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Cardinals when his thumb bothered him in pregame warmups, but he looks on track to give it a go Monday. If Candelario's thumb is still presenting complications in the field leading up to the 8:05 p.m. ET opening pitch, the Nationals could turn to Ildemaro Vargas to spell him at third base.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Garcia will take a seat for the first time since June 14, breaking a streak of 26 consecutive starts. The move to the bench comes after Garcia had fallen into a bit of a slump at the dish of late, as he's gone 3-for-26 over his last seven starts. Nicky Lopez will spell him at third base Monday.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday in a loss to the Astros.

Moustakas put the Angels on the board and tied the game in the second inning with a 415-foot blast to center field. It was the veteran slugger's second homer in as many days and his fourth in 14 games since joining the Halos on June 24. Moustakas is hitting just .240 with his new team, though, and has struck out at a troublesome 33.3 percent rate.

Newman was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with gastritis.

The move was retroactive to Friday, so Newman will be eligible for activation July 24, and he should be ready to go by then or shortly after. Newman has been a useful short-side platoon guy this season with a .901 OPS versus lefties.
