Clement went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-3 win against the Angels.

Clement contributed to Toronto's five-run second inning with a two-run blast to left field. It was his third straight contest with a homer following a 32-game stretch during which he went deep just once. Clement has enjoyed a strong August, notching at least one hit in 13 of 18 contests and batting .292 (21-for-72) with four homers, 14 RBI, nine runs and three stolen bases during that span.

Ramirez went 0-for-1 with three walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Yankees.

Ramirez has been hitless in five of his last seven games, going 2-for-23 with seven walks and four steals in that span. While his bat is cold, his steal Thursday was his 30th of the year, and that got him to the second 30-30 campaign of his career. His career high of 34 thefts from 2018 is very much in reach. Ramirez is slashing .273/.332/.530 with 32 home runs, 101 RBI and 93 runs scored over 124 contests this season, and given his overall career consistency, it's safe to assume his current slump won't stretch too much longer.

Chisholm (elbow) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Although manager Aaron Boone said earlier in the week that it would be "ambitious" to expect Chisholm to return from the IL after a minimum-length stay, it now appears that is exactly what the 26-year-old will do. Before landing on the injured list, he had slashed .316/.361/.702 with seven homers and 11 RBI across 14 games as a Yankee, and he figures to immediately slide back into his previous role as New York's everyday third baseman. Oswald Peraza was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday to create a roster spot for Chisholm.

The Yankees optioned Peraza to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

Since coming up from the minors Aug. 14, Peraza has appeared in four games and gone 2-for-10 with a home run and two runs scored. No corresponding move for his demotion has been announced yet, though he was initially recalled to serve as a roster replacement for Jazz Chisholm (elbow), who is eligible to return from the injured list Friday.

Caminero is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

For the first time since getting called up from Triple-A Durham on Aug. 13, Caminero will head to the bench, breaking a stretch of eight consecutive starts. Jose Caballero will pick up the start at third base Thursday, but Caminero is viewed as the organization's long-term answer at the hot corner and should handle a near-everyday role down the stretch.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Chisholm (elbow) is "real close to a return" from the 10-day injured list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Earlier this week, Boone described the possibility of Chisholm being activated from the IL when first eligible Saturday as "ambitious," but the skipper may have since changed his stance. While he might not be quite ready to go Saturday, Chisholm is in a good spot after getting through a pain-free session of batting practice Wednesday. It's unclear whether he will require a rehab assignment before returning. Chisholm is working his way back from a UCL sprain in his left (non-throwing) elbow.

Clement went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 11-7 loss to the Reds.

The 28-year-old infielder went yard for the second straight game, and his third-inning shot off Nick Martinez gave the Blue Jays a 6-0 lead that the pitching staff quickly squandered. Clement has caught fire in August, and over his last 17 games he sports a .290/.329/.478 slash line, but most of the power has come in the last week -- five of his six extra-base hits on the month, including all three homers, have come in his last six contests.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Berti (calf) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Somerset, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

After experiencing no setbacks with his right calf upon being cleared for full baseball activities over the weekend, Berti is ready to play in games for the first time since late May. He'll likely remain on assignment at least through the weekend while he looks to regain his timing at the plate following a lengthy layoff, but if he fares well, Berti could make it back from the 60-day injured list before the end of August. Berti had been filling a utility role for the Yankees prior to straining his calf, but he could pick up regular at-bats at third base once he's activated. The Yankees have been leaning on youngsters Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza at the hot corner since Jazz Chisholm (elbow) landed on the injured list Aug. 14.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

DeJong will hit the bench after he had started in five of the past six games while going 7-for-20 with two home runs and two doubles. Though he'll give way to Maikel Garcia in the series finale, DeJong may be the Royals' preferred option of the two at third base while he's swinging a hotter bat at the moment. Garcia has turned in a weak .575 OPS since the beginning of August and was on the bench in each of the Royals' previous three matchups with right-handers.

Hernaiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

It's the second time on the bench in the past three days for Hernaiz, who has a .206/.289/.294 slash line through 11 games in August. Tyler Nevin will start at the hot corner and bat sixth in his place.
