Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Twins.
Ramirez logged his sixth multi-hit effort in the last 13 games, and he's added seven homers and 15 RBI in that span. The third baseman's blast Sunday tied the game at 1-1 in the fourth inning.

Blue Jays' Luis De Los Santos: Headed back to Triple-A
De Los Santos is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Julia Kreuz of MLB.com reports.
De Los Santos secured his first career major-league hit in Sunday's 8-4 loss against the Athletics, finishing his day 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. He's now set to return to Triple-A as Toronto continues to evaluate the talent they have in their lower levels.

Ramon Urias 2B | HOU
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Not starting Sunday
Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Urias started the previous three games and will receive Sunday off after going 3-for-11 with a walk, a homer, two RBI and three runs in that span. Coby Mayo is starting at third base and batting seventh in the series finale at Tampa Bay.

Darell Hernaiz SS | ATH
Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Back on bench Sunday
Hernaiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Hernaiz had started in each of the last three games, but he'll likely move back into more of a utility role after Seth Brown returned from the paternity list Saturday. In Sunday's series finale, the Athletics will roll out an infield of Brown at first base, Zack Gelof at second base, Max Schuemann at shortstop and Abraham Toro at third base, and that will likely be the team's preferred configuration against right-handed pitching going forward.

Matthew Lugo SS | LAA
Angels' Matthew Lugo: Out with undisclosed injury
Lugo, who is on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Salt Lake due to an undisclosed injury, has not played since Aug. 2.
He made a strong first impression, going 2-for-5 with a home run and a double in his first game for the Bees after getting traded to the Angels from the Red Sox at the deadline as part of the return for reliever Luis Garcia. However, Lugo has not seen the field since that debut game. Depending on the injury, the trade should make it easier for the 23-year-old left fielder to get a look in the majors either late this season or early next season. He is slashing .287/.376/.578 with a 23.6 percent strikeout rate, a 10.2 percent walk rate, 17 home runs and 16 steals in 79 games split between Double-A and Triple-A.

Rafael Devers 3B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Taking seat Sunday
Devers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Devers started the previous 49 games but will exit the starting nine for the series finale in what amounts to a rest day, per Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. The 27-year-old posted a 1.017 OPS during that 49-game stretch but entered Sunday's contest in a 2-for-15 slump. Nick Sogard will receive a look at third base and bat seventh in Devers' absence.

Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA
Angels' Anthony Rendon: Getting afternoon off
Rendon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
With the series finale in Washington beginning at 11:35 a.m. ET, Rendon will be given a breather after he started at third base each of the past three days while going 5-for-13 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored. Brandon Drury will man the hot corner in Rendon's stead.

Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Goes yard in both ends of twin bill
Chisholm went 4-for-8 with a walk, two solo home runs, a third run scored and a stolen base across both games of Saturday's doubleheader split with the Rangers.
The former Marlin went yard in the eighth inning of each contest, taking Grant Anderson deep during an 8-0 victory in the matinee before belting his 20th homer of the year off Gerson Garabito in the nightcap as the Yankees fell 9-4. Chisholm's bat has come alive since the trade from the Marlins -- over his first 12 games in pinstripes, he's slashing .300/.352/.740 with seven home runs, three steals, 11 RBI and 12 runs. The 26-year-old also played his 10th and 11th games of the year at third base Saturday, crossing the 10-game eligibility threshold in many fantasy formats.

Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: Picks up 28th steal
Garcia went 1-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Cardinals.
Garcia has gone 9-for-37 (.243) over nine contests in August, adding three doubles and three steals this month. The infielder is up to 28 thefts on 29 attempts this year after swiping a bag following his RBI single in the seventh inning. Garcia is at a .238/.287/.345 slash line, six home runs, 48 RBI, 73 runs scored, 21 doubles and five triples over 115 contests. While he's still been able to make an impact on the basepaths, he's gotten on base at a .258 clip since the start of June, which continues to limit his effectiveness in fantasy since he hasn't displayed much power.
