Arenado went 2-for-3 with a double and four RBI in a 6-4 win against Miami on Monday.

Arenado plated the majority of the Cardinals' runs in the contest, notching an RBI single in the third inning, a sacrifice fly in the fifth and a two-run double in the sixth. The veteran third baseman tied a season high with the four RBI, and he's accomplished that feat four different times during the campaign. Arenado is enjoying a very productive July, slashing .340/.393/.745 with four homers, seven doubles, 14 RBI and nine runs over 13 games.

Peraza went 1-for-1 with four walks, a stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Peraza has just a 9.6 percent walk rate at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year, and he'd drawn just three free passes over 39 plate appearances in the majors. He's got a solid batting eye, but Monday's effort was an impressive one for the infielder, who hit leadoff and started at third base. With Josh Donaldson (calf) potentially facing a season-ending injury, Peraza could have a chance to carve out a regular role before the trade deadline. He has a .235/.409/.265 slash line with four RBI, five runs scored and four stolen bases through 14 contests in the majors this year.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 win over the Twins.

Suarez's seventh-inning blast put the Mariners up 7-3, and they'd need all of the extra cushion to maintain the lead. The third baseman slumped around the All-Star break, going 0-for-12 with seven walks and eight strikeouts over his previous five games. He's up to 12 homers, 54 RBI, 38 runs scored, a stolen base and a .225/.323/.378 slash line through 93 contests.

Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

Wisdom batted ninth but still managed to provide some offense for the Cubs. His lineup placement is likely due to his weak .194 batting average. Wisdom has struggled even more since the beginning of June, going just 5-for-41 (.122) with 22 strikeouts across 16 games. He did miss some time with a wrist sprain, so perhaps he's still trying to find his groove, though Wisdom did bat only .207 last season and isn't known for maintaining a high average.

Devers is out of the starting lineup Monday against Oakland due to right calf tightness and is being considered day-to-day, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Devers felt some tightness in his calf during Sunday's game and mentioned the issue to skipper Alex Cora after the game, per Mike Monaco of ESPN. The team is hopeful it'll be a one-day absence for Devers, who will likely be re-evaluated Tuesday morning to determine his availability for the second game of the series.

Donaldson has been diagnosed with a high-grade strain/small tear in his right calf and is without a timetable for a return, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Donaldson was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a calf injury, and it's possible his season could be over after he received his MRI results. The team likely won't disclose a firm timetable for a return until later on in the recovery process, but this isn't the news the Yankees were hoping for after Donaldson exited Saturday's matchup in discomfort. Oswald Peraza, who led off Monday, should see an uptick in playing time over the rest of the season.

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.
