Peraza will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Since being recalled up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last weekend, Peraza has essentially settled into the near-everyday role in the Yankees infield that Josh Donaldson (hamstring) had been filling prior to landing on the 10-day injured list. Peraza has started at either second or third base in five of the past six games and is getting on base at a .438 clip while scoring three runs and adding a stolen base since receiving the call to the majors.

Maton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Maton will take a seat after going 0-for-20 at the dish over his last five games to drop his season average to .131. With Maton on the bench, Zach McKinstry and Jonathan Schoop will pick up starts at third base and second base, respectively.

Jung went 2-for-6 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 18-3 win over Oakland.

Jung laced a two-run single as part of a five-run second inning to extend his hitting streak to 10 consecutive games. He's gone 14-for-42 during the streak with three extra-base hits, six RBI and eight runs while striking out 16 times.

Longoria went 0-for-2 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Padres.

Longoria had not played the previous three games before being used as a pinch hitter and finishing out the final two innings at third base Saturday. Josh Rojas usually starts at the hot corner against right-handers, leaving Longoria on the short side of a platoon. That's likely the outlook for the 37-year-old Longoria, who's had fewer than 300 plate appearances the last two full seasons.

Duffy went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a walk, one RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-8 win over the Angels.

Duffy continues to make the most of limited playing time -- this was his third multi-hit effort of the season. The infielder has gone 6-for-15 (.400) over his last five games. For the season, he owns a .394/.412/.545 slash line with a home run, four RBI, four runs scored and a 1:6 BB:K across 34 plate appearances. Duffy's been used more as a reserve than a platoon option, starting five times against southpaws and four times against righties. With Michael Massey, Nicky Lopez and Hunter Dozier all scuffling, Duffy could see an uptick in playing time until his bat cools off.

Urias went 1-for-3 with a three-run double in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Tigers.

Urias provided a big hit in the third inning, lacing a bases-loaded double to give Baltimore a 4-0 lead. The infielder hadn't driven in a run since April 10 versus Oakland. He's maintained a .240/.356/.380 slash line with a home run, seven RBI, seven runs scored, four doubles and a 5:19 BB:K through 59 plate appearances this season, though it's his solid defense that will help him stay in the lineup when his bat's cold.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss against Milwaukee.

Devers hadn't homered in his previous six games, his longest drought of the season. The third baseman brought the Red Sox within one run thanks to a sixth inning two-run shot. Devers has a .925 OPS this season, which would be a career high.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-4 victory over the Cubs.

Muncy extended the Dodgers' lead to 6-2 with a two-run homer in the seventh off Mark Leiter and hit a solo shot in the ninth off Brad Boxberger. After his third multi-homer game this season, Muncy now has 10 long balls, tying him with Pete Alonso for the MLB lead.

Segura is out of the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Guardians.

Jon Berti will get the start at third base while Segura rests for the second game of the twin bill. Segura went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the Marlins' 6-1 win in Game 1.

Freeman (shoulder) is hitting eighth and playing third base against the Marlins on Saturday for the second game of a doubleheader.

Freeman has missed the past few games with a shoulder injury, but he'll return for the second game of a twin bill. Jose Ramirez will be the designated hitter for the contest with Gabriel Arias handling the shortstop duties and Amed Rosario out of the lineup.
